After Our End

The world of which we currently live allows us to grow and build ourselves, as well as experience great wonders and opportunities. I am someone who, though lives in the now, has to have a plan for the short term. Where some look at life plans for years in the future, I cannot think much further than the few weeks ahead. I find it incredibly difficult to look at what could happen in the next six months as much can change in a very short amount of time. So looking at what could happen in six years is even more difficult to determine. When we have lived our lives to its very end, where is it that we end up? If I cannot plan for what is to happen during my own life, which I have relative control over, I am unaware of what will come after I pass. Despite this, I do have an idea of where we end up.

Recently I realized that I do not believe in God and the afterlife of which He states is true. The afterlife I believe we are sent to is similar to our own world but how we feel when we are there depends on the type of life we believe we lived on Earth. Since there is no God or higher being that judges our actions in our life on Earth, how we feel in the afterlife is dependent on how fully we believed we lived our life. All spirits are able to travel from the afterlife to the human world as they please, and I find that those who do not believe they lived a full life are more likely to spend time on Earth to make up for something. The afterlife is a place of peace for those who have passed and it is open to the good and the bad. There are no physical bodies, or speaking, or touching. Spirits exist among each other and base their time in the afterlife on their emotional experience.

In the afterlife, spirits are at peace with one another, even those who did not live a good life and are not having a good experience in the afterlife. Spirits are at peace with everyone but not always themselves. Those who did not live a full life to their own standards on Earth only feel negative emotions toward themselves. The afterlife is a place for self reflection and a place where we have the ability to make changes to our soul. I don't believe in reincarnation as I find each soul only has room for one lifetime of experience and then an eternity of reflection and peace. As our lives continue on Earth, it is difficult to remember that we must live our lives for ourselves. Some people live to please others, and some to please a God. There is nothing wrong with that, in fact, I encourage others to do so. It is important, however, to remember you cannot live a full life being unhappy. Take the time to do something for yourself and to experience the wonders of the Earth while we are still on it.
