I agree with most of what is stated here. Also, I would like to add that death (as in no thoughts at all) would be a welcomed reality for some of us. It is kinda like those nights when one sleeps but can't remember their dream. All you know is that the last 7 or 8 hours were GREAT. In fact, many of us want to go back to sleep immediately after being awakened. Why would one fear the possibility of such eternal peace? The only real downside to death are the loved ones we leave behind (and the pain involved in some deaths). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE life. However, death is a natural process that should not be feared. Personally, I don't think death is the "end". I honestly think many of us died elsewhere before we were born into our current reality.

I've noticed this too. I think there is often an overlay of personal belief in NDE experiences, but there are also common themes that can point us to a more universal idea of what happens after death.

As a Christian I adhere to what the bible makes clear about death, and according to scripture, science has it all right, regarding what happens to you when you die. Nothing but the decomposition of your body, unless preserved in some natural way. Other than that nothing else happens. You don't "go" anywhere or "see" anything, I mean how can you? Your eyes rot and turn to dirt, and your brain which processes every thought does the same. Death is not a transition to another life, it is the ceasation of life.

Ahhhh, I see you've been there too...

As a professional musician, I've 'died' on stage more than once. Of course, it was the fault of the other band members.

I personally, like to know what will happen after I die. I was in the spirit world before I came here and I have forgotten what that was like because of life experiences. We are taught to forget by our peers.

I don't read the bible although I have read it. I don't adhere to any religion although I do hold some beliefs about God, ourselves and the universe.

When I started my journey, I read books on all kinds of religions. At one time I was scared to death about things, mostly after I read the bible. I'm in no way knocking anyone who wants to read it or stick to it. Just my opinion.

While on my journey, I was asking God what the truth was. I mean I was angry and I truely wanted to know. After a few weeks, I stumbled onto a web site that talked about the very things I was curious about. It answered my questions in a way that I had not heard of before. I read everything on the web site and I even tried the experiment of asking God for His love, His Divine Love. After about 6 weeks, I felt a burning in my chest and a sensation that was unlike anything I had ever felt. It was pure happiness and peace. I knew then that God had sent His love to me.

While I read the information on the web site, I read about what happens after a person dies. The descriptions were from Celestials and their own journey's to those heaven. They gave descriptions of each step taken and with each one, they became more and more happy. Don't get me wrong, there were some from spirits that were in darkness like Judas. He described how he felt in the darkness and how He thought Jesus would never love him and how wrong he was for doing what he did. He tells of his journey to the celestial heavens where he resides now, still progressing towards God.

As I absorbed the information on that site, pondered over it, I knew that Love was the key to heaven. I knew that nothing else mattered but Love. I soon discovered other web sites that also talked of Divine Love and how important it was that we acquire it in our souls. These other sites also describe heaven and how we progress to attain perfection.

I believe that heaven is a place of progress and that everyone can get out of their darkness, (those who are unloving in their souls), and progress to the Love they were created for.

I believe this because there are over 5000 messages just on this topic and over 10,000 more about our progress, living in Love and that our soul is more important than anything. The messages are from Celestials, Creator Sons, Aliens, Midwayers, family of the receivers and many more. There are more than 10,000 beings who communicate with us.

Yes, I've been called many names but I don't care what others think. I only care that I live in Love so that I can progress through heaven to get to Paradise. And the message are always loving and gentle and are never forced to be believed. All they can do is tell us and then it is only up to us what we want to believe.

When you die your sentence here is over and you return to the netherworld.

I have given this a lot of thought over the years and based on my synthesis . . . it seems very likely that we are the architects of our Spirit life. Every thought and feeling we have ever had and will have is part and parcel of the accumulated life energy we have transformed into our consciousness energy. The overall composite will determine our final character and will comprise our reality in the next stage, IMO. We will likely be with compatible Spirits to our own . . . experiencing whatever "refinement" is necessary for as long as necessary. Just my best guess.
