Is there really an afterlife? Does life truly continue after my physical body is no more? And is there any scientific "proof" that we actually CAN (and do) survive our physical demise? In this article we tackle the tough terrain of the afterlife and see what many different sorts of REAL phenomena may have to say about where YOU are going when this life is over.....and it's NOT necessarily what our religious teachers or textbooks tell us!

The Weight of The Evidence is Overwhelming That Life Goes On....and On.....

Any individual story, anecdote or experience is really proof of nothing. But the overwhelming evidence for something, EVEN when science turns a blind eye, often is.

What do I mean? Well....when you look at the individual elements of facts that "support" an afterlife, it's often easy to dismiss and fantasy....or wishful thinking. But when you ADD all of them up, and look at them as a whole, they are amazingly evidential that something truly extraordinary happens at the moment of, (and after) physical death.

Some examples?

1. Near Death Experiences: (people who have extraordinary experiences while "clinically" dead, often with no vital signs or brain activity for many minutes)
2. Out of Body Experiences: (people who leave their bodies, and see things happening many miles away that are later validated - often called Astral Projection, which is usually thought of as the INTENTIONAL experience of learning to leave one's body, rather than it happening spontaneously)
3. Crisis Apparitions: People who appear to others in "spiritual" form at the moment of death, or severe trauma. Many of these cases have been reported in wars, or when someone is struck with a unexpected trauma like a sudden heart attack or car accident....and "appears" to others many miles away to say goodbye
4. Death Bed Visions: People who report seeing loved ones at their death beds, often "invisible" to others in the room (although....NOT always..:-) who have come to help them "transition" to the other side
5. After Death Communications: (or ADC's) Very simply, these are more commonly thought of as "ghosts" - when someone who is LONG dead appears after their demise to you in physical, or energetic "form" to communicate something. (often is important....and other times can be trivial and re-assuring)
6. Mystical Experiences: The personal process of having something extraordinary happen that leaves NO doubt in your mind that you are NOT your physical body alone. Very powerful, very personal, and very transformational. (many religious leaders, icons, prophets and other figures throughout human history have based their entire theology on the mystical experience - Moses seeing the "burning bush" in the Old Testament being a textbook example of it's power to change lives)
7. Reincarnation & Past Life Research: The compelling cases of people who remember past lives in incredible and fascinating detail, speak foreign languages they've never heard, play musical instruments they've never seen, and do all sort of other amazing things that science can NOT explain under currently accepted "laws" of how things work
8. Mediums and Psychics who Talk to the Dead: Yes, many are con's, charlatans and money making scams....but MANY mediums are genuine, authentic and do AMAZING things that simply cannot be explained by conventional means. They SAY they are talking to the dead....and some of the most amazing cases would suggest that the dead most CERTAINTLY are talking back!
9. ITC and EVP: Basically, electronic voice phenomenon or communication from the other side that's "captured" using modern equipment like a basic voice recording from the "other side" or more sophisticated stuff like images and even phone calls from beyond. Don't laugh...they are MANY compelling cases of this sort of thing, and some of the GREATEST scientific minds studied this with vigor, zeal and a FIRM belief that something truly transcendent was happening. (including great scientific luminaries like Tesla, and Thomas Edison, who was working on a device to "talk" to the other side prior to his death)

The bottom line?

In total, the evidence ALL supports that life is a continuous affair...and your soul has a lot more to say after this life is over..:-) Is this GOOD news? I think so! And a good reason to live a life that you can be proud of, and focus on the sort of stuff that's TRULY forever. (the relationships you forge in this lifetime MAY last a lot longer than you believe..:-)
