To be completely honest, I have absolutely no clue what happens after death and I think this is what scares me the most... The idea of leaving this world and having life go on for millions of years while my body slowly decays and I soon become just a fraction of history scares the crap out of me and I have thought about this concept since I was a kid when I used to lay in bed for hours thinking about the inevitability of death..I know , dark right? I would love to believe that there is a heaven and that there is another, more peaceful place that my soul will end up, but I don't really know if I can believe that. I feel like we'd have more evidence if this was true. Or who knows, maybe I'd end up in a darker place being tortured by my own demons...I think people use the idea of an after life to comfort them from the harsh reality of nothingness.
I think that I DO believe that there has to be something because have you ever literally felt energy when you walk into a new room? Like a "heavy" or "light" feeling? Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night to someone softly whispering your name, but nobody is there? Have you ever felt a sudden shift in temperature and you're the only one who notices? Have you ever seen the dark outline of a person, and then double take it and its gone? I have. I believe that these "signals" are spirits among us and if our souls can live on, there must be something right? Sometimes I think that people end up after death where they believe they'll end up when they're alive. If you believe there is a heaven, maybe you go to heaven. Or if you believe that you are a bad person and deserve to go to hell, made thats where you end up. Or if you believe there is nothing, maybe thats what you'll get.
This is a really genuine way to look at what happens after death. It's real. There are so many possibilities as to what could happen to each of us. It's so scary to think about. Are you referring to ghosts when you describe some of the signs you've experienced? If so, I strongly agree with the fact that "ghosts" and other spirits roam the earth without our knowledge. I don't think this post is dark! I think it's completely normal for one to think about what happens when the time comes. Everyone does! I'm sure wherever you end up, it will be lovely! And maybe I'll even see you there! Who knows :)
ReplyDeleteCae, we have such the same views on so many things. It's definitely terrifying not knowing what is going to happen to us when our time is up. It's something you think about when a loved one dies, late at night, or when you're really sick. It's even scary to think about how we're going to die. I also believe in spirits, ghosts, and demons, but I'm actually quite scared of them, even the good ones. It's just the concept of the unknown that spooks everyone. What would be the ideal way for you to go if you got to choose?
