Funny thing is, mediums have been told different things, because Ive seen one girl in a demo say the afterlife is like here, with houses, buses and everything... I think Doris Stokes said that too.

Others say different, that its right here, but in a dimension we cannot sense, or that its so different as to be impossible to describe.

No simple answers, then.

Its like Warm Apple Pie :cool:

Its pretty much culture specific

Next idiotic post will earn an infraction, ok?

Dunno if this qualifies as "idiotic", but........ there is no life after death.

Well for somebody that is so sure, why are you in the paranormal section?? i found a GREAT documentary on youtube that might change your mind, i tell you this much whatever doubts i had were wiped away after viewing this.... ill post it now.

The documentary is in 9 parts but is well worth the watch, i found it mind blowing. Tell me what you's think you will have to watch one part at a time though, enjoy!

I've read books by Emmanuel Swedenborg who claimed to have visions of the afterlife. I'm a little skeptical about him because he claimed people lived on Jupiter... anyway he did have a nice idea in that we create our afterlife here in this life. The good souls all congregate together in a nice place and the people who were nasty are all stuck together in a nasty place.... So it's nothing to do with judgement, we condemn ourselves here in this life, or we create our own reward by our actions in this life.

I think a more interesting question to ask is which religion is right or wrong?

Not that I have ever asked that of any mediums....

Which goes back to my point, everyone's view of the afterlife is culture specific.

Grimes is right in that it is culture specific, to a degree. Religion is part of your culture.

Ill answer that for ya... no religion is totally right on this one, I dont think we can understand it any more than we can grasp the concept of the size of the universe. Reminds me of the story of the blind men and the elephant:

"A number of blind men came to an elephant. Somebody told them that it was an elephant. The blind men asked, ‘What is the elephant like?’ and they began to touch its body. One of them said: 'It is like a pillar.' This blind man had only touched its leg. Another man said, ‘The elephant is like a husking basket.’ This person had only touched its ears. Similarly, he who touched its trunk or its belly talked of it differently. In the same way, he who has seen the Lord in a particular way limits the Lord to that alone and thinks that He is nothing else.

I remember watching a documentary on Spiritualism in which they interviewed a man belonging to a spiritualist church.He said that,according to mediums attached to his local church,the afterlife was physically much the same as this one except with higher perception.
Id be happy enough with a bawdy tavern.

I dont think I could through this again !

Lol, i could! Life is what you make it, 80% of the things we think make us happy is an illusion, the things that can make us truly happy and the things that truly matter are the simple things. I for one have to say i love life for what it is, its not easy but its one hell of an experience. I would do it for eternity if i could and i wouldnt change the way i am or who i am for a second Im not perfect i have my flaws and there are times when i feel like things are pure **** BUT all in all, to walk outside and inhale pure fresh air and watch as the world turns is a gift in itself!

i use to take life for granted, as if we were handed another one when things went wrong (dead) but what i have learned to realise is that even if there is something after this, it wont be this. We will never live again like we do now so enjoy living life now and then enjoy what comes next

Do i make any sence?

I think there is an afterlife, but trying to figure out what it's like is trying to explain to a baby in the womb what the world is like. Personally, I'm buying the "collective consciousness" thing myself. Imagine a balloon, which is inflated - this is us now. When you die, the balloon pops. Where does the air go? back to the universe. In the same way, our consciousness goes back to a greater, "meta" consciousness. Whether we'll be able to experience that the same way we experience the world, I doubt. But fingers crossed, eh?

I think my self that we go on to be guardian angels and then go back to a new life all over again. A persons life is supposed to flash before them in the womb before their born.

Your post was not offensive so not report worthy.

I was not trying to 'criticise' you but mearly giving my opinion that what you mentioned is in 'My opinion' BS.

It's like an Bergman movie without the jokes.

Seriously, I've had a few near misses throughout my life and I'm more or less convinced that time slows down when you have no more need for it.
