Is there life after death?! Facts and evidence. - Is there an afterlife?

Is there life after death? Probably every person asked this question at least once in their life. And this is quite obvious, because the unknown scares the most.

IN scriptures all religions without exception say that human soul immortal. Life after death is presented either as something wonderful, or vice versa - terrible in the form of Hell. According to Eastern religion, the human soul undergoes reincarnation - it moves from one material shell to another.

However, modern people are not ready to accept this truth. Everything requires proof. There is a judgment about various forms life after death. A large number of scientific and fiction, many films have been shot, where a lot of evidence of the existence of life after death is given.

You are presented with 12 real evidence existence of life after death.

1: Mystery of the Mummy

In medicine, a statement of the fact of death occurs when the heart stops and the body does not breathe. Clinical death occurs. From this state, the patient can sometimes be brought back to life. True, a few minutes after the circulatory arrest, irreversible changes occur in the human brain, and this means the end of earthly existence. But sometimes after death some fragments physical body as if they continue to live.

For example, in South-East Asia there are mummies of monks who grow nails and hair, and the energy field around the body is many times higher than the norm for an ordinary living person. And perhaps they have something else alive that cannot be measured by medical devices.

2: Forgotten tennis shoe

Many patients who have had clinical death, describe their feelings as a bright flash, light at the end of the tunnel, or vice versa - a gloomy and dark room with no way out.

An amazing story happened to a young woman, Maria, an immigrant from Latin America, who, in a state of clinical death, seemed to leave her ward. She drew attention to the tennis shoe, forgotten by someone on the stairs, and regaining consciousness told the nurse about this. One can only try to imagine the state of the nurse who found the shoe in the indicated place.

3: Polka dot dress and broken cup

This story was told by a professor, doctor of medical sciences. His patient's heart stopped during surgery. The doctors managed to get him started. When the professor visited the woman in intensive care, she told an interesting, almost fantastical story. At some point, she saw herself on the operating table and, horrified at the thought that, having died, she would not have time to say goodbye to her daughter and mother, she was miraculously transported to her home. She saw her mother, daughter and a neighbor who came to them, who brought the baby a dress with polka dots.

And then the cup broke and the neighbor said that it was for luck and the girl's mother would recover. When the professor went to visit the relatives of a young woman, it turned out that during the operation, a neighbor really dropped in on them, who brought a dress with polka dots, and the cup broke ... Fortunately!

4: Return from Hell

A well-known cardiologist, professor at the University of Tennessee Moritz Rooling told an interesting story. The scientist, who many times brought patients out of a state of clinical death, was, first of all, a person very indifferent to religion. Until 1977.

This year an incident occurred that made him change his attitude towards human life, soul, death and eternity. Moritz Rawlings carried out resuscitation actions that were not uncommon in his practice. young man by indirect cardiac massage. His patient, as soon as consciousness returned to him for a few moments, begged the doctor not to stop.

When they managed to bring him back to life, and the doctor asked what scared him so, the excited patient replied that he was in hell! And when the doctor stopped, he returned there again and again. At the same time, his face expressed panic horror. As it turned out, there are many such cases in international practice. And this, of course, makes one think that death means only the death of the body, but not the personality.

Many people who have survived the state of clinical death describe it as a meeting with something bright and beautiful, but the number of people who have seen fiery lakes, terrible monsters, is becoming no less. Skeptics argue that these are nothing more than hallucinations caused by chemical reactions in the human body as a result of oxygen starvation of the brain. Everyone has their own opinion. Everyone believes what they want to believe.

But what about ghosts? There are a huge number of photographs, videos, which allegedly contain ghosts. Some call it a shadow or film defect, while others firmly believe in the presence of spirits. It is believed that the ghost of the deceased returns to earth to complete unfinished business, to help solve the mystery in order to find peace and tranquility. Some historical facts are possible proofs of this theory.

5: Napoleon's signature

In 1821. King Louis XVIII was placed on the French throne after the death of Napoleon. Once, lying in bed, he could not sleep for a long time, thinking about the fate that befell the emperor. Candles burned dimly. On the table lay the crown of the French state and the marriage contract of Marshal Marmont, which Napoleon was supposed to sign.

But military events prevented this. And this paper lies before the monarch. The clock at the Church of Our Lady struck midnight. The bedroom door opened, although it was locked from the inside with a latch, and into the room came ... Napoleon! He went to the table, put on the crown and took a pen in his hand. At that moment, Louis lost consciousness, and when he came to his senses, it was already morning. The door remained closed, and on the table lay a contract signed by the emperor. The handwriting was recognized as true, and the document was in the royal archives as early as 1847.

6: Boundless love for mother

The literature describes another fact of the appearance of the ghost of Napoleon to his mother, on that day, May 5, 1821, when he died far away from her in captivity. In the evening of that day, the son appeared before his mother in a robe that covered his face, he blew icy cold. He said only: "May fifth, eight hundred and twenty-one, today." And left the room. Only two months later, the poor woman found out that it was on this day that her son had died. He could not help but say goodbye to the only woman who was his support in difficult times.

7: The Ghost of Michael Jackson

In 2009, a film crew traveled to the ranch of the late king of pop, Michael Jackson, to film footage for the Larry King program. During filming, a certain shadow fell into the frame, very reminiscent of the artist himself. This video went live and immediately caused a strong reaction among the singer's fans, who could not survive the death of their beloved star. They are sure that Jackson's ghost still appears in his house. What it really was remains a mystery to this day.

8: Birthmark Transfer

In several Asian countries, there is a tradition of marking a person's body after death. His relatives hope that in this way the soul of the deceased will be reborn again in his own family, and those very marks will appear in the form of birthmarks on the bodies of children. This happened to a boy from Myanmar whose birthmark on his body exactly matched the mark on the body of his deceased grandfather.

9: Handwriting revived

This is the story of a little Indian boy, Taranjit Singh, who at the age of two began to claim that his name was different, and earlier he lived in another village, the name of which he could not know, but called it correctly, like his past name. When he was six years old, the boy was able to remember the circumstances of "his" death. On the way to school, he was hit by a man riding a scooter.

Taranjit claimed that he was a ninth grade student and that day he had 30 rupees with him, and his notebooks and books were soaked with blood. The story of the tragic death of a child was fully confirmed, and the handwriting samples of the deceased boy and Tarangit were almost identical.

10: Innate knowledge of a foreign language

The story of a 37-year-old American woman who was born and raised in Philadelphia is interesting because, under the influence regressive hypnosis she began to speak pure Swedish, considering herself a Swedish peasant.

The question arises: Why can't everyone remember their "former" life? And is it necessary? There is no single answer to the eternal question about the existence of life after death, and there cannot be.

11: Testimonies from near-death survivors

This evidence is, of course, subjective and controversial. It is often difficult to appreciate the meaning of the statements "I separated from the body," "I saw a bright light," "I flew into a long tunnel," or "I was accompanied by an angel." It is difficult to know how to respond to those who say that in a state of clinical death they temporarily saw heaven or hell. But we know for sure that the statistics of such cases is very high. The general conclusion from them is the following: approaching death, many people felt that they were not coming to the end of existence, but to the beginning of some new life.

12: Resurrection of Christ

The strongest evidence for the existence of life after death is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Also in Old Testament it was predicted that the Messiah would come to Earth and save His people from sin and eternal death (Is. 53; Dan. 9:26). This is exactly what Jesus' followers testify that He did. He voluntarily died at the hands of the executioners, "was buried by a rich man" and three days later left the empty tomb in which he lay.

According to witnesses, they saw not only the empty tomb, but also the resurrected Christ, who appeared to hundreds of people for 40 days, after which he ascended to heaven.

Life after death, or the afterlife, is a religious and philosophical idea of ​​the continuation of a person's conscious life after death. In most cases, such ideas are due to the belief in the immortality of the soul, which is characteristic of most religious and religious-philosophical worldviews.

Among the main presentations:

• resurrection of the dead - people will be resurrected by God after death;
• reincarnation - the human soul returns to the material world in new incarnations;
• posthumous retribution - after death, the soul of a person goes to hell or heaven, depending on the earthly life of a person.

Doctors in the intensive care unit of a Canadian hospital registered an unusual case. They turned off the life support system in four terminal patients. In three of them, the brain behaved in a normal way - it stopped working shortly after the shutdown. In the fourth patient, the brain emitted waves for another 10 minutes and 38 seconds, despite the fact that the doctors declared him dead, using the same set of measures as in the cases of his “colleagues”. The brain of the fourth patient seemed to be in a deep sleep, although his body showed no signs of life - no pulse, no blood pressure, no reaction to light. Previously, brain waves were recorded in rats after decapitation, but in those situations there was only one wave.

Scientists from the University of Western Ontario, who studied data on hospital patients, also reported that although the death of each person is unique, but among the electroencephalograms taken from all four patients - within half an hour before death, and then during five minutes after it - there were certain similarities. What happened to the fourth patient, for what reason his brain lived for so long, is unknown, experts suggested that perhaps the technique had failed, but an examination of the equipment did not reveal any breakdowns. It is too early to talk about any life after death - the sample of one person is too small.

  These doctors are “reinventing the wheel” and seem not to have noticed that science has moved forward:
  « modern science about death is a young branch of medicine, but it is progressing very quickly. Famous scientists give her their strength. Observations and research are carried out in scientific medical institutes and large hospitals. A number of serious scientific works have been published.
  Science has begun to lift the veil over the most important thing - what awaits all of us after death. What the church used to know and tell us is now confirmed by science. The latest discoveries turned out to be - especially for the so-called unbelievers - completely unexpected, and not everyone knows about them.
  A recently deceased person can sometimes be revived. Such people who went through temporary death spoke about their experiences during their stay "on the other side." They retained the ability to perceive the environment, could, for example, look at their dead body from the side, see how doctors and nurses are trying to bring it back to life, and could hear and understand their conversations, could move in space, observe events outside the room, where their body was located, events that were subsequently confirmed. Thus, it turned out that the person brought back to life retained the memory of what happened and later could tell about what he saw and heard when his body was dead.
  The “personality”, or “soul”, does not die simultaneously with the body, but continues its independent existence from the body, while retaining the mind, sight, and hearing. If the deceased can be revived, the soul returns to the body.
  One of the pioneers of this new branch of medicine is Dr. Raymond Moody. In November 1975, his book was published on English language"Life after life" ... "

  What seemed implausible and unbelievable is written not only by spiritual and secular writers, but also by scientists, including doctors. Many verification studies have been published.
  Dr. Moody collected a lot of material, systematized it and attracted the attention of serious scientific circles to it. Before him, Dr. E. Kublet-Ross from Chicago, even earlier - Carl Gustav Jung, Professor Voyno-Yasenetsky (Archbishop Luka), Dr. Georg Ritchie and other scientists. Later, Dr. Mikhail Sabom did a lot.
  More than 25,000 cases of resuscitation of the recently deceased have been known. There are many more at present. The perceptions of people during their stay "on the other side" are recorded, systematized and many of them are verified ....

  • Philip

    I believe in all this unconditionally. my father was in a state of clinical death 8 times (he is a retired colonel, a member of the CPSU since 1940, an ardent atheist), and remember how our “great” minds responded to the article “Life after Life” published in the magazine “Spark”, it is interesting to know what is their opinion now?

  • Sergey

    Remember, friends, after biological death, not a single person has yet returned back and no one has been revived, and clinical death does not apply to such, a person is essentially asleep. Don't fool people with your absurd comments! After real death there is nothing, darkness and eternity, alas!

    • Sergey

      ... Cases of temporary death with the exit of the soul from the body and return to it were known even before the work of contemporary resuscitators. From time to time they were described, but these reports were usually not believed, it seemed too strange what they testified to.
      He then describes the rise, the vision of "ugly creatures" and the appearance of light ... brighter than the sun. "There is light everywhere and no shadows." The light was so bright that he could not see anything. “As in darkness. And suddenly, from above, authoritatively, but without anger, the words “Not ready” were heard, and a rapid downward movement began. He returned to the body. The guardian angel said: “You heard God's decision. Come in and get ready."
      Both angels became invisible. There was a feeling of embarrassment and coldness and a deep sadness about the lost. "She is always with me." He lost consciousness and woke up in the ward on a bed.
      Later, recalling the experience, Ikskul says: “I appeared on that new world the way it left the old one. The soul appears there in the degree of its development and maturity that it has reached in life together with the body."
      Doctors who observed Ikskul reported that all clinical signs of death were present and the state of death lasted 36 hours.
      K. Ikskul, who told about his experience, soon after the incident went to the monastery.

      I was clinically dead. The doctors declared death and confirmed to my relatives that everything was over, but when another resuscitation crew arrived, my mother perceived the offer of a young resuscitator-doctor as an opportunity for me. He tried and everything he did I watched from above, as if there were no ceilings in the house and I was in the theater. I felt no pain, no discomfort, no unnecessary noise, only boundless calmness. I felt very comfortable. And suddenly there was a strong blow and it was as if I poured onto the ground from roars, with a strong rumble and whistle. The shaking upon landing was unusually strong. And suddenly I opened my eyes and saw a picture that I had already seen, but only from below. Immediately I realized that I was in a lot of pain, there was a strong whistle and rumble in my ears. I was shaking very badly, as I was injected with intravenous medicine. My heart was started with electric shock, and a tube was taken out of my throat through which oxygen was blown, as a result of which my larynx was damaged. The next day, I clearly understood that there is 100% life after death, and I had not a drop of doubt left.

      Sergei, who wrote: “after biological death, not a single person has yet returned back and no one has been revived.”
      They revived and returned and often radically changed their way of life, having received important information for themselves.
      The human brain dies 10 minutes after the heart stops and the oxygen supply to the brain is cut off. Do not confuse with lethargic sleep, when all human functions are functioning.
      36 hours of death is essentially an irreversible process for the brain and coagulated blood, etc.
      And remember the revived Lazarus, who was dead for 4 days. He already stinks, but with the Lord everything is possible. And he came to life and served as a bishop for many more years.
      There are other cases, for example, in our days in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
      But no matter how many there were, the Lord said about the unbelievers, “If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, then if anyone rises from the dead, they won’t believe”

      And how do you know if no one was revived after biological death? Theoretically, I can admit that you are right, but your statement is not logical, maybe. You are contradicting yourself. In addition, just as theoretically, I can admit that quantum physicists are right, assuming that human energy is not destroyed, but is a constant (and probably retaining reasonableness) some kind of field.

      I agree with you. Man is just a stupid monkey, without a soul, without a brain. A man was born and died just like an apple grew, fell, rotted and that's it. A person thinks that he is something special in this world, lives happily ever after without thinking about death, thinking that he is immortal. Then he dies, they buried him in the ground and that's it. Why then was he born? To live on earth, enjoy life, and then die in terrible agony? What about after death? Nothing. He was stupidly born, did not live long and disappeared. After all, this is a brainless monkey, with jelly in cages, thinking that she is something important. Such "monkeys", as a rule, live carelessly, hating each other, even fighting among themselves for an hour, looking for their place under the sun, even killing for this place. Unprincipled and soulless having lived a short, gloomy life (maybe in wealth, luxury, but for a short time), they die without understanding why they were born. So soulless monkeys would live in complete darkness. But Someone, the One Who does not want people to move into darkness and non-existence after death. AND different ways, This Someone informs those living on earth that there is life after death. And now it depends on a person whether to live as a monkey and fall into darkness after death, or to find the One Who gives Light and eternal life to his soul after bodily death.
      Orthodox Christian.

      …Death is not what many imagine it to be. All of us at the hour of death will have to see and experience a lot for which we are not prepared ... For many, death is something like a dreamless sleep. I closed my eyes, fell asleep, and there was nothing else. Dark. Only the dream will end in the morning, and death is forever. Many are most afraid of the unknown: “What will happen to me?” So we try not to think about death. But somewhere in the depths there is always a sense of the inevitable and a vague anxiety. Each of us will have to cross this line…, - Bishop Alexander (Mileant)

      Once upon a time at the dawn of civilization, people believed that the Earth was flat and also fiercely defended their beliefs, up to burning those who dared to prove the sphericity of our planet.
      The same is happening here and now. Humanity still knows very little about the structure of the universe, but this does not mean that what we do not know about does not exist.
      By the way, brothers in mind, live according to the same laws of the universe as we do. It’s just that humanity still doesn’t even suspect about many of these laws - it hasn’t matured yet ...

      Any comment is based on faith, knowledge and experience. And it is right. But as a researcher of antiquity and alternative oncology, I want to make a correction: the ancient hypotheses of eternity and life after death are based not on the physics of the body and brain, but on the immortality of the human soul, i.e. astral substance leaving the human body. Modern science and medicine is based on the manifest, i.e. in physics, scientists cannot observe beyond the observation of devices, and what devices fix ... .. only physics. Therefore, in the study of man, science does not go further than the body - they buried and forgot. In antiquity (India, China, Japan) went further. They tracked the astral, the immortality of the soul in the astral. By the way, the separation of the astral body from the physical body in a dying person can be delayed, it is possible to return the “torn off” astral. This is confirmed by practice, published, known to many, but is silent at the official level. They are accustomed to “burry” their good, and glorify foreign, sometimes bad, things. Read

      Everything is simple, the Bible gives the exact answer to this question: 5 The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and there is no more reward for them, because the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Their love and hatred and jealousy are gone, and they will never have a share in anything that is done under the sun (Ecclesiastes 9:5,6)

    • Diamond

      The main law of nature: everything has a beginning, flowering and end. The universe itself is not eternal. Therefore, if the so-called "life after death" were allowed, it would also not be eternal. Otherwise, she would have to die later. It's just that every person really wants the soul of their loved ones to remain eternal after death, so they give out wishful thinking. This emphasizes the similarity of people with monkeys, they even continue to nurse their dead child, thinking that he continues to live. Such is the stage of evolution: the first stage - living beings do not pay attention to the dead fellow tribesmen, the second stage - they believe in the continuation of the life of the body of the dead, the third stage - they believe in the continuation of the life of the soul after death, the fourth stage - continue to believe in the eternity of the universe, the fifth stage - contemplation with horror of the cessation of the expansion of the universe and the beginning of its catastrophically increasing contraction is the stage of self-critical awareness of one's previous delusions.

      I don’t know what will happen and how it will happen, I’ll tell you one case that happened to me at the age of about 12. went there by bike. I read a book for a long time, the day was clear, quiet, without wind. there is a bed in the beekeeper's house, I lay down and did not notice how I dozed off. And then the following happened, I still don’t know what it was, from the beginning I thought that it was all real and everything looked like a dream in the same place, since I heard the birds and the leaves rustled and the bees fly, the hum stands, but after a while I realized that I can’t wake up, that is, in no way at all in this state, I opened my eyes and from the beginning it seemed to me that I was standing with my feet on the wall, it was strange and scary, because I understood that this was impossible, I analyzed how this could be and understood that this is from the fact that I’m lying and I see a wall out of the corner of my eye and I’ll notice everything that in this state I couldn’t move my arms or legs, I tried to scream, but I realized that I can only do this mentally, as if it were only me who felt it, but on there was no sound. I don’t know how long this state lasted, but it’s definitely a long time, since from the very beginning until I heard in this state that the car was driving, about 3-4 hours passed. all this time I couldn’t wake up and get up and it was scary that I wouldn’t be able to at all, but as soon as my father opened the door there was a feeling hard hit it was as if something heavy hit the back of the head and I, as expected, got to my feet and realized that I was cold, that is, my body was completely cold, my father was surprised that steam was coming from me at a street temperature of +26, I was wondering what it was I started looking for information about something similar and found similar hundreds of cases of people with exactly the same description, you can read it all yourself. . The only thing that was clear to me was that the more a person is afraid, the more these feelings hold you back. A few years later, this happened again, but not for a long time, there was no more fear, and I woke up fairly quickly and there were no such physical sensations. And the second thing I understood is that in such a state you do not control the body, or rather, you seem to be not in it or it is not yours ... in one thing I am sure since then that nothing will end when a person dies because it will all be meaningless and rather of all the consciousness or memory of life experience or stay on our planet will exist all the time .. this is just my opinion and that's it.

      Sergey stated the situation correctly and intelligibly. The study of such cases allows you to get feedback, without which the researcher is not a researcher. He has the right not to believe, to call him a fashionable name - a charlatan. The fact is taken from practice.
      This excerpt from a written report of a patient with AIDS (29 years old) was read out on June 23, 2007 at the Cinema House (Kyiv) in the presence of 760 people. For obvious reasons, I do not disclose the patient's first and last name.
      “I floated somewhere up the tunnel, really feeling there, and not in bed. There were strange creatures around: pleasant and very unpleasant. There was a meeting and conversation with the deceased dad, whom I loved very much. Somehow, I knew that this was a different world. That I feel it, I enter it. I knew mentally that I was dying. The body did not resist and, as it were, confirmed this. I felt calm, saw the gentle flickering of light. As I neared the end of the tunnel, the light became bright. When my mother heard the conclusion from the arriving doctors. She began to look for (I remove the initials), with whom we were previously familiar. She brought a mobile phone to my ear and I heard: “I will not let you go, do you hear! I'm holding you. Look forward to the evening."
      In the evening, he again worked for me, but the next day I began to “fly away” again. The conclusion of the doctors, according to my mother, this time was already in hours. And this time (initials) did not let me “fly away” ... The year 2007 is coming. I am alive and working. I have enough cells (MF - 4) necessary for life.
      Each such fact is of great value for a researcher - a parapsychologist engaged in the field of health, but more for the state. Distancing scientific medicine from nature is a strategic mistake of civilization.
      Thank you for your attention!

        I think it’s a little wrong question, it doesn’t die more slowly, everything happens the same way ... the thought comes about the fact that you realize everything at once, either the soul or the body, or all together does not understand what it is and clings to life, and therefore it all looks like it’s not in vain always for thousands of years it was believed that the person left after 40 days extreme point on earth, even in ancient Mayan books, this was mentioned if I'm not mistaken ..

          My husband died in the hospital. He had been in bed for 3 days already. His heart ached. In recent years, he had to lie down often and I always came to see him mostly twice a day (morning and evening). My last visit to him (how to know earlier) was short, very short. We agreed that I would come to him in a day. When I left, I was terribly drawn to return to him. I tried to return twice, but overcame myself. I reassured him that he was in the hospital and everything would be fine. The next day, for the first time in my life, I did not go to him. my condition was incomprehensible. There was a heavy feeling, it was hard to breathe, I could not talk. I didn’t go from work, but I moved my legs by force and didn’t want to go home. I paid attention to this. Night. the dog jumped up and began to thrash about. I was alone at home. The time was 1:30 am. I calmed the dog down twice, but I had to get up and take it outside. I released the dog and stood at the open door in my nightgown on December 1. And suddenly .... there was a cry next to me ... heavy, inhuman, uttered with some kind of strain. The cry seemed to split on my shoulder ... There was no one around, only falling snow. I don’t understand what it was. I opened the door again ... silence. It became scary, I didn’t wait for the dog. I closed the door and at that time I heard a voice again, only as if floating away towards the city (we live 5 km from the city). It became creepy, I ran away. I lay down. I fell asleep with difficulty and had a dream. My husband showed me to the people who were going to kill him. was unconscious and brought back to life. He couldn’t leave just like that without warning me (we loved each other). And when he was unconscious, his soul flew to me, even screamed. Only I didn’t understand then. to him and perhaps he would have been alive, knowing that I was nearby. Someone shouted, although it didn’t look like a scream ... More like a roll of thunder. On the 40th day I saw him, he said goodbye to me. And I knew that it was him, I was not afraid. Up to a year, he came to visit me. from afar. I could tell a lot. But now I confirm that there is something after death ....

            and my husband was in intensive care. And now I dream in the morning at 05 o'clock that we are together and kissing. So we kissed for a long time and suddenly began to move away. I still think where he went?. And in the morning they called me from the hospital, they said that he died around 09.00 / How can my brain know that he is dead. I hoped he would live.

      This is the same as proving that all hard drives in computers go to another world after death. Stupidity. For the life of neurons in the brain, the energy produced by the body is needed. Failure of the body, oxygen is not supplied to the brain, neural connections begin to rapidly collapse. The brain cells are dying. It's like broken clusters on a hard drive, you can never recover information from a dead neuron. And now… a man died… 10 minutes death… 20…. and that's it... cookies. The brain cells are dead. Clusters are all broken…. And for me there are several ways. Invent chips embedded in the brain and data keepers. The body got sick .. died ... the hops overwrote all the information from the old body to the new one. After all, in fact, a person's personality is his memories. And then here's your second life :) and 3rd and 20th and immortality. But here now 100,500 people will come running and will crackle about morality and ethics .. but where are we going to take a new body, then ??? So you can record you in the virtual world on your computer. And then the question arises ... maybe we already live in such a world? In short... I'm waiting for darkness and oblivion after death. So I want to leave something good of myself in this world and live my life fruitfully. And you continue to beat on the b floor in temples, hoping for a better life after death .. good luck to you :)

        Everything you say is correct, only one thing, but ... no one said that after death it is this body and this brain that died that need to be restored, it is impossible after 7 minutes of clinical death, but again there are cases of exceptions to the rules, for example, a person fell through the ice drowned and was under water for 43 minutes they got him resuscitated and he survived the doctors said that he could neither walk nor eat anything himself, but he got up and went home on his own and perfectly understood and did and said everything himself .. not everything can be proved by physics and science . Take for example space there, similarly, not everything is physical, it is also other components, this is time and space that no one can ever imagine physically and cannot realize its size .. As an option, I advise you to look at the film White Noise 1 and 2 and the film Ghost with Patrick Sweezy is people's thoughts on this topic presented in the movie. One very old philosopher said that only a fool can not believe in anything ...

        And what about the body? the body is just a garment that we throw off when it no longer fits. There is something else - the individual soul. If it didn't exist, and if we only lived once, then nothing would make sense. But in the universe, nothing just happens. The soul moves into other bodies if it has not yet learned its lessons, or flies away to the higher realms if it has evolved enough to do so. The purpose of life is the evolution of the individual soul. And the salvation of the soul is not to be reincarnated again and again, because life in you is a kind of hell.

      They will ask you about the spirit, Say: "The spirit is from the command of my Lord, and you have been given to know very little about it." (85)

      It follows from this revelation that it is better to refrain from asking questions if the person intends to find fault with the one to whom he asks the question, or to expose him to ignorance. Shouldn't be left important questions and ask about the soul, the knowledge of which is hidden from people. No man is able to describe the soul or its essence. And this is not necessary, especially since many people are deprived of the knowledge that all creations need.

      That is why Allah commanded his Messenger to tell those who question him about the soul that the soul is one of the many creations that came into being by the will of Allah. Knowledge of the intricacies of the soul will not bring people great benefit, especially since people do not know about others anymore important things. From all that has been said, it follows that if a person considers it expedient not to answer question asked, then he should do as he sees fit, and point out to the questioner what he needs more and what can bring him more benefit.

        I know that I will die, And I do not need any life after death. Death is the normal end of all affairs on earth. May the next generation live. and I will also be a little in them. This is what will remain after my death. And nature will recycle my physical body and I will turn into a new young grass. Sorry to distract you a bit from your forum.

        Anyone will cling to life, even if sick or healthy, because when a person dies, I don’t think that he knows what is happening and why exactly, and when he realizes everything then either leaves or stays, let’s wait and see, as they say, everyone will be there. And if you don’t believe me, look on the Internet for a video broadcast or a book by a scientist who studied all this and agreed with his wife that if one of them dies first, tell her if there is something there, he died first and, according to an agreement with his wife, he told her phrases that he could not know no one else, only she ... a few years later she went to pseudo-mediums to contact her husband, but everyone was charlatans and just talking nonsense, and when she had almost lost hope, one old man who treated people said to her exactly what her husband said word for word there was no way he could have known this… this is not a fantasy story, but real events.

        The skeptic might make a final argument: "Could it be that 'I' is the brain?"
        The tale that our Consciousness is the activity of the brain was heard by many at school. The notion that the brain is essentially a person with his “I” is extremely widespread. Most people think that it is the brain that receives information from the surrounding world, processes it and decides how to act in each specific case, they think that it is the brain that makes us alive, gives us personality. And the body is nothing more than a spacesuit that ensures the activity of the central nervous system.
        But this tale has nothing to do with science. The brain is now deeply studied. The chemical composition, sections of the brain, the connections of these sections with human functions have long been well studied. The brain organization of perception, attention, memory, and speech has been studied. The functional blocks of the brain have been studied. A huge number of clinics and research centers have been studying the human brain for more than a hundred years, for which expensive, efficient equipment has been developed. But, having opened any textbooks, monographs, scientific journals in neurophysiology or neuropsychology, you will not find scientific data on the connection of the brain with Consciousness.
        Of course, materialistic scientists have always wanted this. Thousands of studies and millions of experiments were carried out, many billions of dollars were spent on this. The efforts of scientists were not in vain. Thanks to these studies, the parts of the brain themselves were discovered and studied, their connection with physiological processes was established, a lot was done to understand

        4
        neurophysiological processes and phenomena, but the most important thing could not be done. It was not possible to find in the brain the place that is our "I". Even despite the extremely active work in this direction, it was not possible
        The authoritative scientist, Professor of Moscow State University Nikolai Kobozev in his monograph showed that neither cells, nor molecules, nor even atoms can be responsible for the processes of thinking and memory.
        There is an interesting and convincing proof of the lack of connection between Consciousness and the work of the brain, understandable even to people who are far from science.
        Suppose that "I" (Consciousness) is the result of the work of the brain. As neurophysiologists know for sure, a person can live even with one hemisphere of the brain. At the same time, he will have Consciousness. A person who lives only with the right hemisphere of the brain certainly has an "I" (Consciousness). Accordingly, we can conclude that the "I" is not in the left, absent, hemisphere. A person with a single functioning left hemisphere also has a "I", therefore "I" is not in the right hemisphere, which this person does not have. Consciousness remains regardless of which hemisphere is removed. This means that a person does not have a brain area responsible for Consciousness, neither in the left nor in the right hemisphere of the brain. We have to conclude that the presence of consciousness in a person is not associated with certain areas of the brain.

      • Sergey

        Professor, MD Voyno-Yasenetsky describes: “In a young wounded man, I opened a huge abscess (about 50 cubic cm, pus), which undoubtedly destroyed the entire left frontal lobe, and I did not observe any mental defects after this operation. I can say the same about another patient operated on for a huge cyst of the meninges. During a wide opening of the skull, I was surprised to see that almost the entire right half of it was empty, and all left hemisphere the brain is compressed, almost to the point of impossibility to distinguish it.
        The fact that consciousness exists independently of the brain is also confirmed by recent studies by Dutch physiologists led by Pim van Lommel. The results of the experiment were published in the most authoritative English biological journal The Lancet. “Consciousness exists even after the brain has ceased to function. In other words, Consciousness “lives” by itself, absolutely independently. As for the brain, it is not a thinking matter at all, but an organ, like any other, that performs strictly defined functions. It is very possible that thinking matter, even in principle, does not exist in a person, said the head of the study, the famous scientist Pim van Lommel.
        Another argument accessible to the understanding of non-specialists is given by Professor V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky: "In the wars of ants that do not have a brain, deliberateness is clearly revealed, and therefore intelligence, which is no different from human." It's really amazing fact. Ants solve rather difficult tasks of survival, building housing, providing themselves with food, i.e. possess

        6 25.09.2015 13:43 25.09.2015 20:09
        a certain intelligence, but have no brain at all. Makes you think, doesn't it?
        Having come to the understanding that there is no Consciousness inside the body, science draws natural conclusions about the non-material nature of consciousness.
        Academician P.K. Anokhin: “None of the “mental” operations that we attribute to the “mind” have so far been directly linked to any part of the brain. … isn’t it more logical to think that the psyche is not essentially a function of the brain at all, but is a manifestation of some other - non-material spiritual forces?
        According to Eccles, neither physiology nor the theory of evolution can shed light on the origin and nature of consciousness, which is absolutely alien to everyone. material processes in the Universe. Spiritual world man and the world of physical realities, including the activity of the brain, are completely independent independent worlds that only interact and to some extent influence each other. He is echoed by such prominent experts as Carl Lashley (an American scientist, director of the primate biology laboratory in Orange Park (Florida), who studied the mechanisms of the brain) and Edward Tolman, doctor of Harvard University.
        With his colleague Wilder Penfield, the founder of modern neurosurgery, who performed over 10,000 brain surgeries, Eccles wrote the book The Mystery of Man.

      • Sergey

        In it, the authors explicitly state that "there is no doubt that a person is controlled by SOMETHING outside his body." “I can confirm experimentally,” writes Eccles, “that the workings of consciousness cannot be explained by the functioning of the brain. Consciousness exists independently of it from the outside.
        Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the Russian Federation, Director of the Research Institute of the Brain (RAMS RF), world-famous neurophysiologist, professor, MD Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva: “The brain can generate only the simplest thoughts like how to turn the pages the book you read or stir sugar in a glass. And the creative process is a manifestation of a completely new quality.”
        …
        He said that another car ran into them at the intersection. “I heard the side of the car creaking, and then there was one moment, as if I was moving in the dark, in some kind of closed space on all sides. It all lasted only one moment, and then I suddenly - well, sort of hovered two meters above the road, four meters from the car, and I heard a weakening echo from the roar of a collision. It faded away."
        Then he saw people running and crowding around the car, he saw his friend getting out of the car and shocked, he saw his friend in the wrecked car. own body, covered in blood and with twisted legs. Watched people trying to free his body. He was brought back to life and later recounted this experience...
        The phenomena described above and the very concept of clinical death can sometimes cause distrust. After my report, I was sometimes objected: “If a person came to life after clinical death, then it was not death.”
        How to understand such an objection? The point is not how to call such a state - "clinical death" or "near death", as Moody calls it, but in the very existence of this amazing phenomenon, when some part of a person leaves his body and is able to observe the body and everything its surrounding from the side. This alone shows that conscious life can continue regardless of the physical body and even without it at all.
        The denial of this phenomenon speaks of a person’s unwillingness to understand and allow it into his consciousness, and he finds the verbal formula “it means that it was not death”, which relieves him of the need to accept something that violates his comfortable worldview. This subconscious blocking mechanism is well known to psychologists.

      But who argues that in matters of life and death, “soul” and body, and in general about everything that concerns the emergence and existence of the universe, and, in particular, the Earth, biological life on it, and especially the intelligent mass of the unknown. Bye. And most likely for a long time to come. But on these inexplicable examples all religions have been built that do not explain anything, but only offer their own options for leading the world with specific “gods”, which supposedly set certain standards of behavior for people, promising those who observe these standards comfort in the afterlife. And an atheist is not one who rejects life after life, but an opponent of the institution of the church.

      • Sergey

        Atheism, violently militant against the One Whom it declares non-existent, poses a certain riddle. If there is no God, why hate Him so much? Atheists often say that the God of the Bible is no more real than Zeus or Osiris, but their complete indifference to Zeus and Osiris shows that this is not the case.
        As in the old joke about atheistic education in the Soviet school:
        "- Children! There is no god! Let's show a fig in the window!
        Why don't you show?
        - Well ... If there is no God, then to whom to show a fig, and if He exists, why spoil relations with Him?

      Yuri: Life after death interested me from my youth. I read a lot. but still there was no information that can be read now on the Internet or received from like-minded people in numerous forums. I remember I managed to get the book Life after death Author Dr. Moody USA. In the process of starting to read this book, many strange things happened to me that I have been trying to figure out for myself for many years. The further I delve into these oddities, the more new mysteries and discoveries I have. Help me understand my many discoveries. I'll start with how I started reading this book. When I opened this book for the first time and did not have time to read two lines, I suddenly fell asleep. And so it happened every time, with every desire to delve into the content of this book. I had thoughts that I get tired after work and therefore immediately fall asleep after I start reading. I accidentally drew my attention to the fact that when I read technical literature and detective stories, this does not happen to me. I had to think seriously, turn on my brain to the fullest and strange things began to open up for me. unusual phenomena and discoveries. I have had many of them over the years. You can't tell everything right away. I will post them on this site from time to time. When I gradually penetrated the secrets of the universe, I managed to read this book. But in order to do this, I had to perform a number of actions. Knowledge and discoveries were given to me as I was ready to accept this knowledge.

      I will say one thing, we all come out of death and return to it. Do you remember what happened 150 years ago? no right. Because you were dead. So after death you will fall into the same state. So I think everyone knows what will happen after her.

    • Sergey

      And about religions, etc. I will tell you. Religion was created as a counter to the fear of death and the manipulation of people. About the bible and other sources. Ask yourself: who wrote it? Answer: human. Not every person is ready to sacrifice his only life in the war, and at that time there were quite a few of them. What to do so that a person goes into battle, gives his life and is not afraid. Answer: let's write to him that after death there is life much better. I want to ask you all, do you really believe all people? especially since they write to you. I don't think it's worth continuing.

      • Sergey

        Yes, it is a pity that Lenin and Stalin did not think of forcing their Red Army soldiers to read the Bible.
        Yes, there have always been wars, and they all fought well: both believers and non-believers, both literate and illiterate people.
        Only now, after all, no one imposes faith on anyone, and no one forcibly pulls anyone into churches, and they don’t meet anyone there with open arms, and they don’t demand money from anyone there. Only those who understand that they need it go there.
        To believe or not to believe people? When there are lies all around and it's hard to believe even yourself?
        Our life is not as one-sided in this sense as it seems.
        There were and are people who do not lie and even guard their thoughts from lies. Hard to believe?
        To understand these people and understand all this, you just need to plunge into the Unknown World of Orthodoxy.
        Then spiritual vision will open, you will gain wisdom, you will know the Truth, doubts will disappear and the soul will return from wanderings to the Motherland.

      Hello, good people! My very pious grandmother died and came to me in a dream on the 9th day and said that worms eat her face. On the 40th day she came in a dream and was all glowing, she said that she had come to say goodbye. We kissed and she disappeared. And when she died in the hospital, she came to my aunt in a dream, pulled out a pillow from under her and said when you will take me away from here. On the morning of the same day, we went to the morgue to pick her up.
      When my mother, also a believing Orthodox person, died, I parent's day, in Orthodoxy there is such a holiday, looking at her photo, I asked: “When will you come to me and tell me how you are there?” On the same night in the morning, in a thin dream (when a person has such a state - either you sleep, or you don’t sleep), I lay, turning away from the wall, I felt that someone was lying with me. I thought who it could be, because I live alone. I turned and saw my mother. I thought that if I rebaptize her and she does not leave, then this is really a mother. I did so. Mom didn't leave. We had such a dialogue. I asked her why she didn't come to me for so long. She replied that there were no keys. And after her death, I put a new metal door, protection from unwanted "guests". I answered her that I would give the keys, but she said that she would not take it, because they should not often come to the living, because those who should not come to us can come to us along this open path. Then I asked how she lives there, she replied: “Thank God!” I asked her to tell me how life is there, she told me about it for a long time, but I didn’t understand a word! Then she said that she had to leave and needed to say goodbye. We hugged and she disappeared. After that, I only dream about her. We never had such a meeting again. Believe it or not. Regardless of our perception and concepts, GOD EXISTS! Glory to HIM for this!

      I experienced clinical death at an early age. I saw my body from above in a hospital bed. I felt someone nearby. Realizing that I was dying, I prayed: I have not seen anything in my life! I was heard. I returned to my body, to the surprise of the doctors. During her life, she went into the astral plane several times, flew over the city, even "flyed" into someone else's apartment. I sat on the windowsill of the 5th floor, outside. I have vivid strange dreams about UFOs, Angels and Demons, Waking up I saw cigar-shaped UFOs three times. I read that some people die in morgues during autopsies. This does not indicate an increase in mortality, but the low qualification of resuscitators.

    • Vladimir

      One well-known Moscow writer told me during his lifetime how he was dying.
      After an evening feast, I visited a friend of the artist. He was busy in another room of the workshop, washing brushes. On the window was a pint of vodka with half the contents.
      He asked his friend if he had something to hangover while unscrewing the cork and throwing the neck. He replied that there is, but just don’t take a bottle on the window - it contains dichloroethane. But it was already too late. The liquid burned the insides and then it began.
      The writer saw his body writhing on the floor, and he himself saw it from above. Then everything is like in a movie - his friend, the artist, rushing around the apartment in horror and calling an ambulance, then him with a kettle of water, which he tried to pour into the throat of the writer, screaming, I told you not to drink from the bottle on the window. Etc. and then, the writer said, it suddenly dawned on me that I had died. And it was unusual. There was no fear, but there was some kind of feeling that everything was wrong. Unnaturalness and feelings of guilt, mistakes of something.
      There is life after death. Scientists proved this purely mathematically, weighing the body on atomic scales at the moment of the exit of the soul from the body of a dying person. Its approximate weight was about 50 grams. That is how much the dead body became lighter at the time of death. It's not about whether there is life after death or not. Today, this is no longer relevant. There is life after death. The question is different. What is it like for everyone leaving this world, and where does the immortal soul go after it leaves its body? The answers to this are provided by our Orthodox Church. Explore, read holy scripture and patristic literature. Secular research or study by scientific methods is only a practice that confirms a theory, or rather the truth that has already been told to us aloud many times.

      And I visited the meeting of the apostles of the Lord God. It was a long time ago, 1990. I already had a son and a little daughter. The son fell ill (hyperkinesis). And he was prescribed some terrible pills and I didn’t want to give them to him and I was very worried about this, I just can’t convey it. And there was no one next to me who could share these sufferings with me. As always, I put the children to bed and went to bed next to my son, fell asleep. And so I open my eyes and stand as if in a little wall, but everything around seems to be from a dense fog. There is a long table and 12 apostles are sitting behind it, also as if from a dense fog, but the faces are clearer and they can be seen. And the most important (I thought so because he was sitting on the back) he asks about me: why does this soul suffer so much? And one apostle told my situation and they began to discuss it among themselves. And now, as it were, I again came to my senses already flying through the night sky, but my physical body was not with me, and I was somehow light. And I thought how quickly I was flying, but I was not cold at all. And when I thought how I would stop, I just stopped right away and began to go down and suddenly I saw a store near our house from above. I recognized him and our house and flew in without any obstacle, going right through the house, so to speak, and already opened my eyes on my bed and looked at my body, it was already as before, that is, physical. Until the morning I was impressed. From that moment I became somehow capable of medicine. It occurred to me to buy some valerian and give it for half a year and much more. I just felt like someone was messing with me through life and helping me. Thanks to all the higher powers and the most important thing.

    • Elena

      I experienced either clinical death, or something very similar in 1989. Based personal experience I can confirm that life never ends. There is no doubt about it. There is unconditional Love, Eternity and Awareness. Probably, this is only the first moment of a different existence, but then the soul usually either loses contact with the body or returns. Mine came back after I saw in a very fast newsreel my whole life with a parallel awareness of causal delusions. Came back to fix it. For which I am grateful to the one who brought me back. Happy everyone!

    • Vadim

      For a certain period in my life, I practiced exits from the body. I affirm that the soul exists. Exactly as a “clot” of energy-informational substance. “Vision” of material objects is perceived as on an x-ray, only volumetrically. Much more that is hidden from us in ordinary material world. God also exists as an energy-information field structure of outer space. Religions are not based on an empty place. Commandments are given for a reason.

      Death is actually a point of no return, and having died, you can no longer go back - clinical death is just a concept of a state close to death, BUT! I repeat, this is not death yet - therefore, it is impossible to say with confidence that after death something is impossible - as always there are two options or there is or not and no one can say anything unambiguously here - you can only philosophize on this topic. Assuming that something is necessary there immediately ask the question WHY? - nature is rational and there is nothing that would exist just like that - and since the body is no longer there, then there is no question of procreation, those functions are fulfilled - there remains only the function of thinking for an infinite time - and this is already worse than non-existence - and most likely death is the end of everything.

      My friend has been in a state of clinical death for more than 30 minutes. There was heavy bleeding in the stomach and the pressure dropped below 40. The doctors could not put a drip - the veins stuck together. He saw and heard all the actions of doctors from above. In the end, they found the most experienced doctor who offered to inject adrenaline intramuscularly. It turns out this causes hellish pain-shock. So, as soon as they gave him an injection, he suddenly woke up in his body and screamed in pain. A pulse appeared and they were able to put him on a drip. I heard the story from his lips personally. The man is still alive and does not seem to be going to die. Earlier, my wife's uncle told me such a story, he also said that his eyes were on the ceiling and he saw everything. But, he was in a coma for only 5 minutes. He also spoke of a bright light descending from above. All this is not fictional evidence of the presence of the soul and the exit of the body at the time of death. And who does not believe, well, to each his own.

      A very interesting topic has been touched upon. I, as an Orthodox person, unconditionally believe that the afterlife exists. There were many proofs of this in my life. Now you can't tell everything. I want to tell you about one case when my mother-in-law died, I ordered mass for her in the church from the 9th to the 40th day. We celebrated the 40th day, but I think it’s interesting whether prayers helped her or not, how to find out? And then, soon, I see a dream: it’s night outside, it’s dark and only the light from the windows of the house reflects the path along which she walks to the house, climbs the porch, sits on the bench, looks at me and says: “I’m alive! Live! I feel very well!" And she herself smiles with such a calm smile, a blush all over her cheek, so happy! The dream was like in reality, I was even a little scared, because when I saw her, I immediately remembered that she had died, and she, apparently reading my thoughts, immediately answered that she was alive. She sat on the bench for a minute and left.

      I will immediately describe another dream that I remember for the rest of my life. It was back in the 90s, my father died and I began to go to the temple, ordered masses for his repose. According to all the rules of church law, I submitted a note with the names of the dead to the memorial service, put a candle and stood by myself in the service to the end. And one day I stand near the canon and watch how the parishioners put all kinds of food on the dish that stands on the canon, and I think, why am I not putting anything? Then I was just starting to go to the temple and did not know much. I rummaged in my pockets and found a small candy, slowly put it on a dish so that no one would see my modest offering (people put a lot), stood a little longer and left without waiting for a memorial service, because at that time I was in a hurry somewhere. And at night I had a dream, as if I were entering some kind of house, consisting of two halves, but with one corridor, like in a hostel. In one half, men are standing and talking, and in the other, women are sitting at a large table, all dressed in dark, but not black clothes, in handkerchiefs, but they were somehow sad. The light is on in the room, and there is nothing on the table, but mostly fruits in vases and even wine. Some woman escorted me to the head of the table, at the end. I sat down for a bit and left. The dream ended, I woke up, but everything was like in reality and I began to analyze this dream. I realized what was revealed to me. The fact is that when we pray for our relatives in the church, give them little notes, put candles, then they have a holiday there too. A candle is a chandelier above the table. The food put on the eve in the temple, even in the form of a small candy, is also their festive meal. The Repose Notes gather them all for their feast. But I was tormented by one question: why were they sitting so sad? And then I realized that this was because I left the memorial service in the temple. If I had stayed, they would have had fun too. Since then, I have tried to always stay at the memorial service. And I also realized that our two worlds (the world of the living and the world of the dead) are very closely connected and are literally next to each other. After all, it is not for nothing that it is said that the soul does not die, but passes into the OTHER WORLD! Much has been written about this by the holy fathers, read and there will be no questions. And even earlier, the LORD Himself told us about this when He came into this world: “According to your faith, so be it to you!”

      "...according to your faith, and let it be unto you..." That's right. Life does not accept death. And no one will ever be able to prove the existence of life after death. Clinical death is not death, brain activity exists. It is the brain that draws all those pictures that we have imagined millions of times. If a person in a state of cell / cm sees himself, it’s just that the brain draws a picture of the ward, doctors, beds and slips himself there like in Photoshop. Everyone has heard about the tunnel thousands of times, the light at the end of the tunnel is also the activity of brain structures. Relatives come in a dream, so this is a dream, only during sleep the cunning brain convinces us that this is not a dream, but reality, and we are glad of such a meeting and convince ourselves that it was real. To me, personally, with my very bad dream(due to health reasons, there is no deep sleep, always only drowsiness), what kind of nonsense does not dream of from nightmares to comedies, how the brain manages to create a film with “incomprehensible” bells and whistles, metamorphoses ... It bothers me, because I see these dreams while sitting at a meeting (I can speak in a dream), and standing in public transport, holding on to the handrail, once I drove my car into another one in front ...
      In general, all this is the activity of the brain, based on existing knowledge. And this knowledge - information that we don’t even perceive (we skip past our ears) - is a huge amount, the whole universe. Here we give out wishful thinking. I, too, could talk about how I was in paradise and I was sure that this was all happening in reality. However, it was a dream. And I saw UFOs in my fleeting visions more than once. And why I saw it, because I see a lot of information on this topic, and the brain draws! Of course, in fact, there are no UFOs or aliens, and there cannot be, by definition, and a meeting with them cannot happen in any way. Will you be able to meet with a microscopic living organism living at the bottom of the Mariana Trench with a lifespan of a few moments in your short century? Will you be able to understand each other by depicting him geometric figures, rice. DNA, talk to him in English…?

      This topic is as old as the world. This topic has always been discussed and argued at all times. But only in our time have they come closest to it. Perhaps the world is already prepared to open the mysterious veil. If the soul were not eternal, a person would be born like a sheet of white paper, and then draw on it whatever you want. An no. Even in the same family, children are born completely different in character. Why is this happening? Isn't it because every soul already has some experience in the past? Think about it. We return again and again to evolve. The Bible gives us information on how and what to work on, what not to do, because it is a SIN. Such vices as malice, envy, adultery, pride, gluttony, greed, pride, etc. . And what can be opposed to this? In one word, it is to learn to LOVE in the highest sense of the word. And then all these vices will disappear by themselves. Basically, it's about working on yourself. That's why we come to this world again and again. And there is such a thing as KARMA. This is a web into which we drive ourselves and must free ourselves. When having offended someone, a person cannot forgive us for this, when we are offended by someone, when we cling to something and cannot come off (our attachments).
      Why argue when today there is so much information about it. These are transfers THE FIGHT OF EXTRASENSORIES,

      And I died this summer. We were driving home from the dacha, sitting with my husband in the back seat. My husband's uncle was driving, and next to me, my husband's mother ... a truck suddenly flew into the oncoming lane.
      The husband and his uncle died instantly. I woke up in intensive care almost a week and a half after the accident. Was in a coma. I saw both my husband and his uncle when I came to my senses. We went up there together. There were many warm light without a shadow ... My husband smiled at me and held my hands. And then something pulled me in the middle of my back and I flew back down into the body, and woke up ... and my husband and his uncle, smiling, went on. I didn't know then that they were dead.
      I was briefly shown the passage there ... but left here. Doctors pulled out.

      The fact that we do not see and do not hear messages from there does not mean that they do not exist. Maybe we are in different systems coordinates. Even here on our planet there are microscopic beings who do not perceive us as individuals, but only as a substratum. It doesn't mean that we don't exist.

If we look at the history of mankind from afar, we will notice: Every era has its own prohibitions. And often entire layers of culture were formed around these prohibitions.

The prohibition of the pagan rulers of Europe of Christianity turned into an incredible popularity of the teachings of Jesus Christ, which gradually destroyed paganism as a belief.

Theories about the central position of the sun and the round earth appeared in the strict Middle Ages, where it was supposed, under the fear of the Inquisition, to believe only in the opinion expressed by the church. In the 19th century, the topics of sex were tabooed - Freudian psychoanalysis arose, which swept the minds of contemporaries.

Can you believe in life after death?

Now, in our age, there is an unspoken ban on everything related to death. First of all, this applies to Western society. The deceased rulers of medieval Mongolia were mourned for at least 2 years. Now the news about the victims of disasters is forgotten literally the next day, grief for relatives lasts only for their closest descendants. Reflections on this topic are supposed to be done only in churches, during national mourning, at commemorations.

The Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran once remarked:"To die is to bring inconvenience to others." If a person seriously considers whether there is life after death, then this becomes a note in the psychiatrist's notebook (study at your leisure the DSM 5 manual on psychiatry).

Perhaps this is all created because of the fear of world governments too smart people. Anyone who has known the frailty of being, believes in the immortality of the soul, ceases to be a cog in the system, an uncomplaining consumer.

What's the point of working your ass off to buy a branded piece of clothing if death multiplies everything by zero? These and similar thoughts among citizens are not beneficial to politicians and transnational companies. That is why the general suppression of the themes of the afterlife is tacitly encouraged.

Death: the end or just the beginning?

Let's start off with: whether there is life after death or not. There are two approaches here:

• this life does not exist, a person with his mind simply disappears. The position of atheists;
• there is life.

In the last paragraph, another division of opinion can be disassembled. They all share a common belief in the existence of the soul:

1. the soul of a person transmigrates into a new person or into an animal, plant, etc. This is the opinion of Hindus, Buddhists and some other cults.;
2. the soul goes to specific places: heaven, hell, nirvana. This is the position of almost all world religions.
3. the soul remains in the world, can help their relatives or, on the contrary, harm, etc. (Shintoism).

Clinical death as a way to study

Often doctors say amazing stories associated with their near-death patients. This is a condition when a person’s heart has stopped and he is as if dead, but at the same time, with the help of resuscitation measures, he can be brought back to life within 10 minutes.

So, these people talk about different objects that they saw in the hospital, "flying" through it.

One patient noticed a forgotten shoe under the stairs, although she had no way of knowing about it because she was brought unconscious. Imagine the surprise of the medical staff when there really was a single shoe in the indicated place!

Others, thinking that they had already died, began to "go" to their home and see what was happening there.

One patient noticed a broken cup and a new dress of blue color at her sister. When the woman was revived, the same sister came to her. She said that indeed, at the time when her sister was in a state of half death, her cup broke. And the dress was new, blue...

Life after death Confessions of a dead man

Scientific evidence for life after death

Until recently (by the way, for good reason. Astrologers talk about the coming era of Pluto's mind control, which arouses people's interest in death, secrets, the synthesis of science and metaphysics), pundits answered the question of the existence of life after death unambiguously negatively.

Now this seemingly unshakable opinion is changing. In particular, quantum physics directly speaks of parallel worlds, which are lines. A person constantly moves through them and thereby chooses fate. Death means only the disappearance of an object on this line, but continuation on another. That is eternal life.

Psychotherapists cite regressive hypnosis as an example. It allows you to look into the past of a person, and into past lives.

So, in the USA, one American woman, after a session of such hypnosis, declared herself the embodiment of a Swedish peasant woman. One could assume a clouding of reason and laugh, but when the woman began to speak fluently in an ancient Swedish dialect unknown to her, it was no longer a laughing matter.

Facts about the existence of the afterlife

Many report dead people who came to them. There are many of these stories. Skeptics say it's all fiction. That's why look at documented facts from people who were not prone to fantasy and insanity.

For example, the mother of Napoleon Bonaparte, Letizia, reported how her dearly loving son, imprisoned on the island of St. Helena, somehow came to her house and reported today's date and time, and then disappeared. And only two months later, a message came about his death. It happened exactly at the same time when he came to his mother in the form of a ghost.

In Asian countries, there is a custom to make marks on the skin of a dead person so that after reincarnation, relatives can recognize him.

A case of a boy being born has been documented, who had a birthmark in exactly the same place where the mark was made on his native grandfather who died a few days before the birth.

By the same principle, they are still looking for future Tibetan lamas - leaders of Buddhism. The current Dalai Lama Lhamo Thondrub (14th in a row) is considered to be the same person as his predecessors. Even as a child, he recognized the things of the 13th Dalai Lama, had dreams from a past incarnation, and so on.

By the way, another lama - Dashi Itigelov, has been preserved since his death in 1927 in an incorruptible form. Medical experts have proven that the composition of the mummy's hair, nails, skin have lifetime characteristics. They could not explain this, but they recognized it as a fact. Buddhists themselves speak of the teacher as having passed into nirvana. He can return to his body at any time.

Let's philosophize a little with you and try to answer for ourselves the question that has been worrying mankind for hundreds of thousands of years - is there life in the Universe? Of course, the topic is a bit unusual, so I will ask you to focus, turn on your imagination and start your journey in the Universe together.

Of course, we can adhere to the opinion of most science fiction writers, and say with confidence that there is life on distant stars. But is it really so? Let's see what is needed for the emergence of life.

First, all living things known to us need oxygen.

This is perhaps one of the main criteria for the development of life. No oxygen, no life. Air is necessary for the development of nutrients, for respiration, for energy. This universal oxidizing agent is necessary for all living beings. However, there is one small "BUT". First of all, it has not been proven that distant stars do not have this very oxygen. Who knows what is a billion kilometers away from us? And suddenly, somewhere on a distant star there is still oxygen and living beings similar to us. And the second, which is very important, how do we know that life on other planets is similar to ours. If we somehow adapted to the conditions on our planet, why do we doubt that there are other life forms that do not need oxygen?! This issue is highly controversial.

Secondly, all known living beings need water.

Our science is merciless! She found out that life is simply impossible without water. It was in the water that proteins appeared, which are the basis of all living beings. There is even a theory that all living beings, including our distant ancestors, came out of the water. But again, let's argue with the luminaries of science. Agree, we still know very little about life, and what we know can always be questioned. ALL proteins KNOWN to us need water, but there may be proteins unknown to us that can find "substitutes" for water, depending on the environment of their development. It's also quite a controversial topic.

Thirdly, for the emergence of life, a special temperature is needed.

In my opinion, it is also one of the most controversial factors. Agree, we humans can adapt to everything: high pressure in the mountains, low temperatures in Antarctica, and heat in Africa. How do we know that there are no organisms that can be more adapted than we are. For example, the inhabitants of the Mariana Trench have adapted to the pressure at depth, the lack of light and the low temperature in the deep point peace. So, you can adapt to much, if not everything.

Of course, these are all just speculations on the verge of fantasy, and we cannot be sure that there is life in the Universe, for the simple reason that this has not been proven. But still, we can question some of the statements of the best minds of mankind for the simple reason that the absence of life on other planets has not been proven or confirmed. We believe that space is endless and there is no end to it. But if so, then the question of whether we are alone in this boundless space will always excite our minds.

Here's how to see. If we believe that we are alone in the Universe, then it will be so for us, and nothing will convince us. But if we believe that in the endless darkness of space there are living beings, even if they are not like us, then it will remain so until the end of our days. What do you think???

Every person at least once in his life asks the question "Is there life after death?". Previously, our ancestors believed in the immortality of the soul and its ability to a new incarnation. Today, after a long period of unbelief and atheism, it is quite difficult to come to terms with the fact that with death comes an absolute end. Eastern religions have a long history of addressing this issue. In them, life after death is perceived as something natural and not subject to proof.

IN Lately, most people are rather ambiguous about both old age and dying. That's probably why everyone more people from European culture are interested in such beliefs, seeking to alleviate and overcome their own fear of death. What is death and is there life after death? Let's look at these questions in more detail.

By death, according to different dictionaries, today we understand the cessation of our physical existence. From the point of view of medicine, death is cardiac arrest and the complete absence of breathing. To date, the development of technology allows you to support the life of a person in a coma. This is when the body is actually dead, but the blood runs through the vessels due to the operation of the equipment.

In Asia, in monasteries, you can see the mummies of monks, on which hair and nails are still growing. And this is after the fact physical death and after many years. In India, there are cases when the bodies of people with a high level of spiritual development did not burn during the funeral pyre. Because they already existed according to other laws of physics. If from a medical point of view there is nothing after death, then from the point of view of physics everything happens according to natural laws.

And yet the cessation of the functioning of the physical body is the starting point for the concept of "death". And it is this phenomenon that causes the fear of death to appear in a person. Considering the question "Is there life after death?" in terms of diversity different religions is one way to overcome this fear.

Life after death in different cultures

European culture worships material values, we believe in what we can feel and see. However, such a worldview creates a certain binding, which becomes the basis for the fear of death. After all, we are not afraid of what will happen to us later. We are worried that we will lose everything that was dear and important to us here. On the other side of life, we will not be able to take money, jewelry, real estate, loved ones or our status with us.

All this will remain in this world after our death. And there we will be judged by our deeds, which will have a significant impact on our soul and its future path. Therefore, another way to confront the fear of death is to accept its fact and be ready to cut off existing connections of this world. For example, in Eastern philosophy there are special practices based on the vision of death. It's a walk through the cemeteries, finding for a long time next to a dead body and so on. They help a person to understand and accept death and see in it the natural law of life, in which there is nothing frightening. Also, after this, a person begins to better appreciate every moment of life, rejoicing in it.

Of course, different religions have different views on the afterlife, but they all agree that death is part of the life cycle. You don't need to strive for it, but you don't need to be afraid of it either.

In one of the great books - the Bible - the theme of life after death was one of the most important. But in the Pentateuch, the leading role was assigned to the discussion of the pressing problems of the Jews. And yet in these texts there is a mention of those places where the human soul goes after physical death.

In Judaism, it is said that the first people originally lived in paradise, the Last Judgment is mentioned. In Kohelet, which is known to Christians as the Book of Ecclesiastes, it is told that after the onset of death, a person moves to his “eternal home”. His soul is reunited with God, and the ashes are returned to the earth. Also, these texts indicate the transience of life, which must be appreciated.

In Egypt, people prepared for death almost from birth. The cult of death was one of the most revered. So, for the pharaoh, the tomb (pyramid) began to be built during his lifetime. Earthly life here was considered only a brief moment, while true existence was possible only after death. This is told in a collection of religious hymns called the Book of the Dead. It was recited during a ritual to provide guidance useful for the afterlife.

After death, the soul was judged by Osiris, who, with the help of other gods, determined where she should go. Unburdened by sins, the soul, like a feather, flew off to paradise, while sinners went into the jaws of a terrible monster (a lion with a crocodile's head).

Many Indian religions adhere to the theory of reincarnation (transmigration of the soul). According to her, after the death of the body, the soul of a person can again move into a new body. Although this process is regulated higher powers, a person can influence what his next incarnation will be. Karma burdened with sins can lead to the fact that in the next life the soul is reborn in an animal or even a plant.

But righteous people striving for spiritual development, in the next life they can become kings or even gods (devas). Such a rebirth can occur a large number of times. Therefore, one of the main aspirations in the Hindu religions is the desire to get out of the circle of rebirth. There is a goal of reaching the state of nirvana and completing one's path by reuniting with a higher being.

A feature of Buddhism is the description not so much of the transmigration of souls as the journey of consciousness through many worlds. Death is interpreted here as a transition from one world to another, which is influenced by karma (activity during this and past lives). In Jainism, there is a main principle - not to harm any living being. And if a person observes this principle during his lifetime, then in his next birth he can become a deity.

Christianity and Islam

These two religions are the most numerous on our planet. Their ideas about the afterlife are very similar. Christianity at the very beginning completely rejected the idea of ​​the transmigration of souls, which was even officially enshrined in one of the Councils. According to the interpretation of Christianity, the main and only afterlife begins after death.

Already on the third day after the burial, the soul is able to move to another world, where it will prepare for the Last Judgment. Not a single sinner can escape from God's punishment and will definitely go to hell. True, he has the opportunity to go through purgatory, where he can be cleansed and from there go to heaven. The righteous all immediately go to heaven.

Islam also says that earthly life It is a way to prepare for the afterlife. On her big influence have all the actions committed by a person in life. The way of life greatly influences death: sinners suffer, and the righteous leave this world painlessly. Muslims have two posthumous trials. The first is carried out by two angels, punishing the guilty. After that, the soul exists in anticipation of the main judgment under the leadership of Allah, which, according to this religion, will occur after the end of the world.

Philosophy and esotericism

Interest in the problem of life after death has led to the fact that a large number of studies on this topic have been carried out. The subject of the study was the experience of people who were between life and death. Parapsychologists do not stop trying to find evidence that the afterlife exists. Some of them prefer to talk with patients who have experienced clinical death in the past. Others try to help people remember their past incarnations.

Philosophy also has not lost interest in the question "is there life after death." Thus, Van Inwangen especially insists that a complete organism cannot exist in nature. Since, in fact, it consists of a large number components.

The most elementary are particles that can exist in time and space here and now. Therefore, even a newly born soul cannot be identical to the one that died earlier. Viewing death in terms of time has led modern philosophy to the idea that a person is mortal for an outside observer, and not for himself. This was reflected in one of the philosophical principles - relativism.
