When I die, what will happen to my mind? Really there will be no extension to my feelings. Death is something unnatural for a person, and therefore people unknowingly avoid thinking about it. Even thinking about it in any form of it, we feel that our own demise will inevitably confront us, seemingly to come to life. The picture of our death comes upon us and becomes more real and feasible.
People do not want to say goodbye to life at any age. They are afraid of the thought of what awaits them later. Some hope that some of them will survive after death. And they think: what will happen to the soul when I die? Believers imagine that they will go to heaven or hell.
Where does the soul go after death according to Christians
What in the understanding of a believing person is this or that place? Paradise is a place where the soul gains eternal peace and bliss. Religion gives faith in the future, the belief that even the most meaningless, at first glance, but righteous life, can have a result. And that which we did not receive during our life here awaits us in paradise.
Those who did not reckon with religious prohibitions, who took everything from worldly life without thinking about the correctness of their actions, according to the Christian religion will go to hell. According to the Holy Scriptures, hell is deep in the bowels of the earth, and the soul that gets there feels eternal torment. In that place, some souls feel eternal darkness and cold, while others burn in molten liquid. There sounds crying without comfort, uninterrupted and inconclusive.
The opinion of atheists about the truthfulness of the existence of the afterlife
How do atheists imagine death. What will happen when I die? They offer death as the end of existence, eternal darkness. It is like a dream in which you do not remember anything. Plato in his creation "Apology" speaks from the mouth of his teacher Socrates, who was sentenced to death. He thinks that if death is the absence of any understanding, something like a dream, when the asleep does not see absolutely nothing, then it would be amazingly pleasing.
In fact, if we had a choice between a night when we saw nothing and a night in which we had wonderful dreams, we would understand how many days and nights we lived better and more pleasant compared to all other nights and for days. Undoubtedly, this idea is very convenient for some lost souls. After all, then we will not have to be responsible for our actions, never before anyone, then live as you want, because one result awaits everyone - there will be no punishment or encouragement. But this also indicates the meaninglessness of life.
Scientific evidence for the existence of the human soul
But there are other thoughts. Dr. Mac Dougall of Massachusetts weighed the human body at the time of death and proved that it becomes 21 grams lighter. He suggested that this soul leaves him. Interestingly, when he weighed animals that were on the verge of death, their weight did not change. The conclusion of his trials - only people possess the soul. He also suggested that the soul emits light after leaving the body, resembling the faint, barely visible sparkle of stars. This small, almost weightless spark contains the uniqueness of man and is the key to eternal life.
The views of other religions on what will happen to the soul after death
The Hindu religion, for example, believes that the human soul is immortal. When he dies, she gains a new body, and it is not always human. At each stage of its spiritual development, the soul takes on a different form: whether it be a plant, animal or person. The human body is the highest degree of spiritual development.
But the Slavic-Aryan Vedas say that as long as a person with the same soul lives an unworthy life, he will not be able to rise higher along the so-called golden ring of formation. His soul will wander the universe in the eternal search for truth, each time passing parallel circles, finding new bodies with fresh feelings and three new dimensions. These reincarnations will occur until the soul eradicates within itself all those vices that it felt through the prism of its mortal body, giving it too much freedom.
The wanderings of the soul in a dream
What will happen when I die, what awaits me there, on the other side of the world? No matter how scary it was, but at least once in a lifetime people thought about it. They imagined how their soul leaves the body. And then the picture that others or religion put to them then arises before their eyes. Those few who have experienced clinical death say these feelings are reminiscent of calm and peace.
Sometimes it happens that you wake up at night from the feeling of a rapid and painful fall and you can’t remember what you dreamed about. Some people believe that this soul returns to its body, which it left during sleep to travel along other dimensions. But what if this is true, and then where is the line between parallel worlds? What if what we remember as a dream is actually the journey of our soul. Just what the soul remembers does not always remember our mind.
So, maybe, after all, we should not rush to find out the truth about what will happen when I die. After all, every person on earth has its own unique mission. And maybe we should better try to understand and fulfill it, whatever it may be. After all, anyway, everyone will know what will happen when I die. But there will be no return, and we will not be able to correct the errors. Therefore, we need to enjoy every second of our measured time here on this beautiful planet and to pass with dignity all the tests that the universe sends on our way.
