What Happens After We Die?
It is evident that nobody knows for sure what happens after we die. Some say we turn into energy, and we can travel back to earth and be with our loved ones. Although some people have claimed to connect with those who've passed on, this topic is still very controversial. Some believe that is just a trick; however, there have been tales about soldiers interacting with their dead comrades throughout history. For example, during WWI, a soldier named Will R Bird was awakened by his deceased younger brother. Whether that was a fact or fiction, nobody knows for sure. I've always been fascinated by these stories, and I recall a similar account from a friend who lost her mother - she swore her mom's presence was with her during a particularly tough time. I also remember my own experience of losing a loved one, and the strange sense of calm I felt during the funeral, as if they were still with me in spirit. I still think about that feeling, and how it's hard to put into words - it was as if time stood still, and all that mattered was the love we shared.
There are several groups of people who claim to be able to sense the departed; they can even make contact with them; though they cannot see them, they can feel their presence and see their energy. One theory is that when we pass on, we become energy; we no longer have the same appearance as when we were alive. The experienced mediums seem to all agree that the dead no longer have the same type of needs as we humans do; for example, they don’t have a desire to make love, though they do experience love and happiness but not in the same way. They do not feel hunger or thirst, and they don't feel any of the negative emotions we face, however; it is believed that they just feel an immense sense of peace.
Several studies have concluded that when people experience these encounters, it may actually be a response to grief or powerful feelings of empathy towards those who have suffered a loss. I think about this a lot, especially when I hear stories of people finding comfort in these experiences - like the woman who claimed to have received a message from her late husband, telling her to take care of their kids. It's stories like these that make me wonder if there's more to it than just our minds playing tricks on us.
It’s believed that in our final moment, we walk into the light, and it is in that precise moment, we no longer suffer, all of our troubles are gone, and there’s only room for love and forgiveness.
The claim that people can tap into the spirit world is indeed controversial. However, regardless of whether this claim is confirmed, we may never know; all we can do is follow our intuition and be open to spiritual guidance, because the one who could be trying to reach us may be God, offering us a message of hope and comfort.
