Life After Death
Is There Life After Death?
Every human’s life tends to reach a doom at some point in time. Death is the inevitable end of all active bodies. But then people believe that life is probable after death. Though the bodily mass seems to be dead, the soul may be living ceaselessly. The soul is the complete representation of us in an imprecise illustration. Once the biological functions inside the human body ceases, the dynamic and fleshy body turns into a corpse. The corpse is either buried and let the nature’s scavengers play their role or burned to ashes following different religious customs. So you suppose that is the end of a human life..?
DEATH IS NOT AN END
I neither deny nor affirm the immortality of man. I see no reason for believing in it, on the other hand, I have no means of disapproving it. -Thomas Henry Huxley
There are masses of scrutiny on life after death. As we know, the simple portrayal of it is the mind-body dualism. The soul is meant to stay in the body mass and sets free after the body gets expired. Heaven is the other most reliable reason for the existence of afterlives. Everyone’s quest for immortality seems to be believed with the central evidence. The evidence exists in the form of near-death experiences and reincarnation. The near-death experiences gave a different aspect to this research. Reincarnation, as alleged by most religions and philosophy, the rebirth or new life of the living being in the other physical form.
NDE AND AFTERLIFE
To be mortal is the most basic human experience and yet man has never been able to accept it, grasp it, and behave accordingly. Man doesn’t know how to be mortal -Milan Kundera
Near-death experiences, occurring to human beings who are at the doorstep of their death or in a situation of extreme physical and mental hassle, can be defined as psychological events with transcendental and mystical elements. Near-death experience is characterized by the following experiences and events — an out of body (feeling of floating out from the physical body and viewing their own body and the world), feeling of peace, entering a dark tunnel which leads to a bright light and on the other side they feel the warm welcoming of heaven. The spiritual sayings of, separation of the soul from the physical body is also a shred of evidence for the existence of near-death experiences and the afterlife. Medical records of almost all cardiac arrest patients seem to experience the NDE. Though there are medical records and proven research on NDE, doesn’t it seem to be fictional..?
Emanating traditions and cultures of certain religions also provides evidence for the proof of immortality and the existence of the afterlife, in terms of reincarnation. Reincarnation in Latin is “entering the flesh again” or to be said in a more explicable way is “transmigration of souls”. Reincarnation can be defined as once the living body experiences death the soul separates from the physical body and then transmigrates to another physical form. It is simply the soul that returns to its cosmic consciousness when it comes, which can also be related to the law of karma.
There is no end. For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does it ever cease to be. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval.
There is no proper evidence that there is an afterlife. But the fascinating phenomena of near-death experience and out-of-body experience keeps prevailing among the ancient and modern societies. The near-death experience may occur due to consciousness impairments and multisensory integration at brain junction. Further research in the field of neuroanatomy was carried to understand the near-death and out-of-body experiences. Intriguing and incredible truths may come out of any door of this world. Until then, let’s hope as if a greedy man wishes to be immortal.
