Survival After Death

There are many beliefs throughout the world on the subject of survival after death. Some religions believe in life in Heaven after death of the body while others believe that the human soul or spirit is reincarnated upon death into a new body, reborn to begin life anew. For centuries these beliefs have been studied in order to determine the true aspect of survival after death. While some religions believe that only humans can survive in the spiritual world, there are those who believe all creatures will experience a life after death. It is nearly impossible to determine which belief is correct without actually experiencing death.

Many people throughout history have claimed to have near death experiences, in which they felt themselves being drawn toward a light which they felt was the afterlife. Whether they were actually experiencing the after death survival, or merely in a state of unconscious hallucination has yet to be proven. The fact remains however, that people experience this phenomenon frequently and many believe that they are coming close to seeing what is at the end of the tunnel with regards to what happens when we die. Many people have also had deathbed experiences of seeing Christ or another religious symbol just seconds before they died.

Survival after death can be viewed in many ways. For the Christian believers, it is Heaven where they will live in mansions, walk on streets of gold and have no pain or suffering for eternity. For Muslims, survival after death means being reincarnated to live life in a new body with a completely new existence. There are many who believe that they can remember people or events from previous lives. The term déjà vu comes into mind often when speaking of reincarnation.

Others believe that survival after death comes in the form of ghosts. Many believe that they can communicate with the deceased either directly or through a medium or a psychically gifted person, who can speak to ghosts and revert back what they say.

Whether you follow Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or other religions, it is very evident that virtually all religions believe in survival after death. Atheists are the only known group who believe that once the body has died, the soul or personality also ceases to exist. Other religions and beliefs hold that in some form or fashion, the soul, mind or spirit will continue to exist, either in a Heavenly realm or on earth.

Again, determining which of these beliefs is correct would be nearly impossible, although there have been poignant studies on each that have shown cause for belief. Simply saying that one belief is wrong is not necessarily correct. Many scientists and other researches have delved into each belief of survival after death and many points have been made to support each belief. Of course, just as everyone in the world is different in some way, all beliefs are different as well. They are, however, very much alike in some aspects. Survival after death exists in each major religion in the world, whether it be spiritual or physical.
