I wish to explore what different beliefs and religions say about the nature of the afterlife and it's relation to this world we live in now.
I became interested in this subject 12 years ago after having my own brief yet vivid NDE.
I'm not scared of death or dying, more curious as to what any afterlife could be.
At the moment my own personal philosophy on the issue comprises the following:-
- We are a part of nature, the cosmos and the universe.
- When we are born we emerge from nature / the universe / the cosmos, much in the same way we return to it at the end of life.
- If you boil it down to its most basic parts of life we are all just a collection of atoms / matter along with the rest of the universe
- That religions seek to put a human face on a one-ness, a great power at the centre of the universe that we return to when we die. Is this what NDEs are describing / hinting at, or are they just a set of brain based hallucinations from a d
ying brain?
Opinions /personal experiences appreciated
