What happens to us when we die? Where does our soul go? Chances are, if you were brought up in a religious background you believe that there are only 2 places you can go: Heaven and Hell. If you are a good person and believe the right things, you spend eternity in Heaven. If you are a sinful person, you spend an eternity in hell. Thankfully, this is a false dichotomy.
Scientific investigation
There has been a lot of scientific investigation into what happens when people leave their bodies when it dies and then return after experiencing time in the spirit world. Thousands of near-death experiences have given us the information we need to form a more accurate picture of what awaits us on the other side. Some do report hellish realms, and almost all report heavenly realms, but there is another side of the coin here that needs to be addressed.
A breakthrough
Dr. Michael Newton is a psychologist who specialized in hypnotherapy, where he would put people into hypnosis to bring out any past traumas they experienced in their lives and walk them through the memories into healing. He soon discovered that he was able to bring people back so far into their memories that they were remembering things that weren’t even taking place in this life anymore. They were taking place in between lives!
Destiny of Souls
In his books Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls he shares case studies that he has gathered over the course of four decades of bringing people back into the memories of their souls journey. Surprisingly, they all said the exact same things, and coincided very nicely with a lot of the NDE accounts that have occurred.
What happens after we die?
As of right now, this is the best picture we have painted of what awaits us on the other side. Here are 9 things which these two fields of study have strongly suggested happen to us when we die.
Reliving the life
During this time when you are in your afterlife, you relive all your best and worst moments. People have stated that they have seen their past lives flash all before their eyes in near death or even post death experiences. They claimed to see their activities and their memories play out like a video slideshow before their eyes.
The Light
People always report seeing a light when they die. The light appears off in the distance, and you will slowly be pulled towards it, almost as if you are being pulled by a magnet. The light is always accompanied by a sense of love and peace. This is your transition phase back to your home in the spirit world.
You Can See Your Body
Many people have this “out of body experience” and see their lifeless body beneath them when they are technically dead. That means they are an incorporeal spirit floating above their body. They can see everything that is going on in the room and who is in it. Any attempt to restore connectivity between the consciousness and physical body fails, leaving the person frantic for several moments.
Dead relatives
During your afterlife, you get to see all your dead relatives in a large number. Many people who have died and then came back to life have claimed that they have seen their dead relatives around them. Perceptibly, they have seen them greeting each other and enjoying a large party during their afterlife.
Hear and see everyone
You can see and hear everyone. A number of people have narrated about their ability to see a lot of people in their room with them where they were lying unconscious. Their attempt to interact with them went in vain as their body is lifeless but their consciousness or their spirit remains awake throughout the session.
Calmness
Most of the dead people that have been brought back to life after death stated that they felt an overpowering sense of peace and calmness when they were unconscious. It is so irresistible and loving that the conscious soul doesn’t know how to state in simple words about the calming experience they had. According to them, it is a sense of tranquility that none could ever experience before dying.
Angels
An ample of people has asserted that they have seen at least one Angel or Holy Spirit looking at them. They seemed to take care of them during their end time. They were supposed to help them to come out of their pain in death’s grasp. Some even say that they are being succored by the spirit through the afterlife before they were sent back to their original body.
You still feel like yourself
Even though you don’t have your body anymore, you still feel like an individual. Actually, you feel more like yourself than you did when you were alive. There’s so much influence from others while you’re on earth that in a way you don’t get to be you.
Life review
People report seeing their entire life as a sort of movie film in front of their eyes or on the pages of a book. You may have to see some things that make you feel ashamed and like you failed, but this is not a time of judgment. This is a time of review, and discussion about what needs to be improved upon as a soul. After you see your whole life, you may come to an agreement with your guides to come back to Earth to work on things after a certain period of time in the spirit world.
On a lighter side!
During this life, we may never truly know what happens once we pass away. Perhaps there will be a bright light and many loved ones… or maybe we will just feel happy, loved and warm. But one thing is certain… if a person passed away and felt like they were in heaven, only to be expelled and brought back? Well, that would feel like hell.
