Afterlife Experience Based On The What You Believe

Afterlife Experience Based On The What You Believe

Name: Kerry

Comments: We already enrich our brains with expectations based on on our religious beliefs so isn't that what most will see with these near death / afterlife experiences they have? For instance the Hindu will see one of their gods and the Christian will see Jesus or an angel and the pagan will see... Actually not sure what they will see in particular but my point is the experience is more based on their religion.

Believe You The Based Experience Afterlife

That is possible, and one view, that one's own beliefs are what will form the basis of the reality upon one's passing. However, this presupposes there IS an afterlife of some form, and that somehow, thought or expectations, faith or belief, is somehow able to mold or shape this, or that we enter into some sort of plane or mental state dependent on our mindset, and that we continue to be conscious and cognizant.

Some world religions and other beliefs, including some New Age (and Spiritualist, which goes back to 19th century or earlier) tenets, actually believe when you die you return to The Source. Whether that means you, as your personality is now, or simply the essence of your "soul" or spirit, or whether you are aware in any appreciable way, or are more energy, is debatable and also depends on the particular belief.

This is to say nothing of most atheistic, nihilistic, agnostic or other possibilities, that either assert or are strongly inclined to believe or "reason" that when you die, you simply cease to be, as you are now - your personality and consciousness and intellect and all that simply slips into the void and disappears and ends, as your body does.

So if what you believe does dictate your final "reward", I suppose all those *could* be possible, even nothingness...

Maybe the laws of consciousness requires that what happens after life is based on what has been put into our minds and we essentially "live" what we have created in our minds during our living years.
