Life after death?



Death is an uncomfortable subject. Many poeple prefer not to talk about it.But sooner or later, we must confront it. And the sting of death is sharp and painful. Nothing can fully prepare us for the loss of a parent, a spouse, or a child. A tragedy may strike unexpectedly or unfold relentlessly. Whatever the case, the pain of death cannot be eluded, and its finality can be devastating. Especially for those very close, near and dear.

People often ask themselves questions that do not seem to have an answer. Sometimes this is called philosophy. Especially when a loved one dies, people ask: Is there life after death? And I have been asking this question to myself for quite sometime.

That’s a question Dr. Gary E. Schwartz has asked himself and he presented his mouth-dropping, scientific results in his book “The Afterlife Experiments”.

Read this in Facebook and thought it interesting:

In a mother's womb were two babies.
One asked the other: "Do you believe in life after delivery?"
The other replies, "why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later. "...
"Nonsense," says the other. "There is no life after delivery. What would that life be?"
"I don't know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths."
The other says "This is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too short."
"I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is here." the other replies,
"No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere."
"Well, I don't know," says the other, "but certainly we will see mother and she will take care of us."
"Mother??" You believe in mother? Where is she now? "
"She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world."
"I don't see her, so it's only logical that she doesn't exist."
To which the other replied, "sometimes when you're in silence you can hear her, you can perceive her. I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality."

Also there was this interesting discussion between Anish and Julia on why at times when we are at some place for the first time we feel we had been there before? Julia said, it was because we had been there in our past life. Would it be true?

I have never belived in life after death, but we need to live well in this life of ours. But inspite of it, this question often come to my mind....Anybody has an answer?
