How
do you imagine the afterlife?
When
I imagine the afterlife, I envision a limitless, timeless and infinite in space
world, full of powerful beings all with their own stories, some written by
mankind some by themselves, living in harmony in their own domains of reign separated
one from the other. When
I say domain of reign, I mean “Heaven, the heavens, seven heavens, pure lands,
Tian, Jannah, Valhalla, or the Summerland”. For the curious I will include here
a link to the concepts of Heaven of the many cultures this earth has hosted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Conceptions_of_heaven
Furthermore there are
the concepts of Hell: Kur, Irkalla, lake of fire, Tartarus, Anaon, Uffern,
Peklo, Tuonela, Bagobo, Naraka, Diyu, Hefgwauge, Kuzimu, Mictlan, Adlivun,
Shobari Waka and Xibalba just to name a few. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell
With
so many different Hells and Heavens who knows exactly what life after death
brings us or even if it brings us anything, for example there are the neutral
afterlives where souls just reside.
Humans
were bestowed with the gift of life and the gift of creating life. Let
us be happy for a moment that we are alive and seek peace with the thought that
nothing may come after death.
Do
you consider your soul to be yours and yours alone or have you been given a
soul as part of the process of a greater being to learn and to access knowledge?
Personally, I think the soul is the most
precious gift we were given and like any gift it should be our choice if we
want to keep it or return it after dying.
Is
the soul our unique identifier? Will it be recycled? Will it be included in
future humans?
I
believe in soul mates and I believe the soul helps us undertake the journey
after death. As for the recycling of souls, I believe the process may be
required if we want to live again.
Why
are there so little people who do remember living past lives?
A
simple explanation would be that we must renounce our memories to live again. A
jatswar however is a person who remembers his past life, this should only
conclude that it is possible to retain memories from our previous lives.
Are
the jatswar lucky to have bend the rules of the universe of not remembering
past lives? Is it possible for us to become jatswar as well in a future life?
One
must seek yogic knowledge to be able to answer such questions but for the
interested you can read more here: https://theoryofsouls.wordpress.com/about/.
Here
I would like to add my own assumption, if the soul is unique and stored in the
mind as the old Greek philosophers believed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_intellect), what stops us from
being born again with the past experiences of our own lives?
In
my opinion all that could be necessary would be a life dedicated towards
spiritualism.
Perhaps
it is better to start from new but then who decides what is better for us other than ourselves?
Is
it the universe itself or perhaps a powerful entity that decides that in our
time on earth we should find the meaning to our own lives?
Good
questions don’t always have an answer, furthermore they can reveal more
questions. My writings are not here to tell you the truth only to try to make
you think about your personal truth.
Is
the law of karma what rules the world?
This principle could be very well be
compared to karmic fate and resembles the concept of destiny.
I believe that we are rewarded or punished
both in life and death based on the deeds we have done in our lives.
Which
theory of genesis do you believe into?
I
like believing that God created the Big Bang.
I
too have had questions in the past 2 years, everything seemed to happen for a
reason, once you realise that it seems harder and harder to stop the process. I
do not deny the existence of any god as every being has its own role.
Are
we born to make the same mistakes all over again while not even knowing it? Do
we travel from genesis to genesis in an unfair world where the soul just powers
the cosmic machinery that allows life to exist? Do we keep living the same
life? I do not oppose any of the many theories about the genesis, but one must
wonder: What is reality? Are we real? Did we evolve from nature? Were we the
creation of another civilization who didn't want to be alone in the universe? Are
we a story being read in another dimension? Are we living in a simulation? Are
we a creation of God, or have we created him and contained him as part of our
culture? Is this cycle breakable or is this just a joke between death and life
and an exchange of gifts from one to the other? What holds the universe
together? How many dimensions are there? Is time finite? Does something exist
out of time? Are we just an experiment? Is there such a thing as a perfect
genesis? Do we have to work all together in our own way to create one? Are we
pawns in a big game of chess? Are we kings of our own stories? Does a theory
exist that could encompass all genesi?
These
questions must be answered by everyone for themselves.
At
the start of the blog I told you to imagine, it is up to everybody and nobody
to come up with their own fiction of afterlife. But let us take the process of
imagination further.
How
do you imagine your own religion? Do you believe in reincarnation of the soul
or of the body? Are we soulless or are we out of touch with our own souls?
I
believe in reincarnation of the body and recycling of the soul. Furthermore, I
believe it’s the soul that chooses the host.
A
mythos which I always liked believing in is that the eyes are the gateway to
the soul. Personally, I think there are 2 types of souls that attract each
other, the ones that do not differ from each other and the ones that are
opposites. The first ones bring evolution between one another at a slower pace,
they never collide or push away one another, while the other never wants to
change and collide releasing energy around them. Are we predetermined to choose
the ones that give us internal balance or are we bound to find the opposites to
learn more and more from each other? I talked about imagination, I hope you
made a small or complex story in the time I told you to think about your
religion. Which sources will you take in consideration? Here intervenes faith. Now I should put you to
another small test.
Do
you believe in what you have imagined to be your own truth or the truth of others?
It
is said that in Nirvana you are to meet the versions of the ones that you loved
and loved you, sadly this again is pure simulation of your brain on DMT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, they
are not real, it is just another step prior to having your soul recycled. Discomforting
isn't it? The same might be true for Eden or Paradise or Heaven, depending on
what you want to call them. Perhaps a clarification is required, I do not
preach against religion, I just preach religion of self. Have your own faith. Of
course, this may seem different compared to what you have been thought along
generations. I think the subconscious to be the one that rapidly makes and
transforms your experiences into a nice image for you to have outside of time
in the time between your return as another body. The brain is very powerful and only becomes more powerful with every action
undertaken by yourself with your conscious mind.
A
good theory that could be included here, and that could teach us to make a
better world for ourselves and the ones around us would be to consider that
every soul must live every life once, if this would be so, we would receive the
answer in the end about what was the meaning of all the struggles. The fight between good and evil is ingrained in our culture, I consider
nothing is either good or evil, as evil and good are both concepts that evolve
throughout time and are changed by external factors out of the persons control.
