Billions of people may have wondered what happens after we die. Only a few who are still here truly know the answer . . . perhaps. As it stands, the only people who might know what happens after we die are those who have had a near death experience. Everyone else is either guessing or relying on information they read in a book, not actual experience.
What Happens After We Die
Yet, it’s a question that fills head space, particularly when an event occurs that makes you think your exit date is near. If what those who’ve had a near death experience share is accurate, when you leave this world, you could see a tunnel of light. Or you might see someone you were close to who “crossed over” before you did.
There have also been reports of people leaving their body and watching what happens to their body. They might watch a surgeon try to revive them or they might hear nurses talking in a hospital room their body occupies.
Admittedly, hearing these stories is comforting. However, if you haven’t had a near death experience, you probably don’t feel the power that’s linked to the experiences. But is having a near death experience the only way to know what happens after we die?
Even more, is death real?
Are You Curious?
When I was a kid, I felt afraid that people I was close to who exited the world would come back as ghosts. Although I didn’t know how to express it, I had an idea of what happens after we die, even if I was wrong.
You probably have an idea of what happens after we die too. At the least, you’re curious.
That curiosity might diminish if you opened your laptop or smartphone and saw that you had an email or text message from someone you were close to who had transitioned. You’d also probably be shocked, disbelieving what was happening.
Or perhaps you’d asked a departed loved one to offer you guidance or comfort and, within seconds, the guidance or comfort appeared. What would you do if that happened to you? Would you hurry to a phone and call a friend, bringing them into the experience, desperately hoping that they would offer you clarity or understanding?
Experiences that Might Help Answer Where Do We Go When We Die
This happened to me after someone close to me transitioned. Deep in grief, I asked the person to let me know that he could see me and was with me. As I walked outside, trying to stay mentally healthy, I felt something bump my elbow. Out popped my wallet.
It landed on the ground. As I leaned over to pick up my wallet, I noticed that it had popped open to the person’s picture. The experience didn’t offer sustaining comfort, but it did make me think (as I had done since childhood) that death isn’t real.
In other words, we don’t cease to exist – ever.
Other experiences have deepened my belief that death isn’t real. It’s especially not real if what we really are has nothing to do with a body.
Yet, that doesn’t answer where do we go when we die (or put another way, leave this world)? Is the next step part of a continuation, a journey that never ends?
And is it possible to revisit the world after you exit your body? If you could, would you want to come back? Supposing you had unresolved events that had left a strong imprint on your mind while you were here, you might try to communicate with someone, hoping that they could work with you to resolve the issues.
Spiral Probes Where Do We Go When We Die
This is what happens in Spiral, a book that examines, in part, what happens to five people, two still on this side; one of them goes missing. Two more of them are funeralized, but are they really gone?
The girl who’s open to communicating with the people who transitioned holds a key. Based on stories I’ve heard on TV and read in print media, those who are open to these communications in a healthy way can bring resolution and comfort to those wondering where do we go when we die.
Another gift they bring is closure to issues someone who transitioned was unable to resolve while still in their body, which brings us back to the original questions. If a girl with uncommon insight can resolve an issue using guidance she receives from someone on the other side, is death real?
And if those who have transitioned communicate in loving ways with those still in the world, do we go into a state of peace when we leave here? If our lives continue, can we gain access to light and peace by always choosing love?
These and other questions are raised for readers in Spiral, a paranormal mystery.
