Re: What Happens After You Die?

Nothing.

I don't think there is a God that judges you after you die, but the
state of your soul does play an important part. I think the actions and
thoughts you have during life determine who you are as a person
(correct?). Well, after you die, you go to the astral realm, where
there are different laws and ways of experiencing the environment,
namely it's all mental, but a different understanding of "mental" than
the one we have while still alive.

Mental as in spiritual, as in it's your soul that perceives everything.
You don't have eyes to see light, ears to pick up vibrations, or nerves
to get impulses. You have yourself. Thinking. While you're alive, which
part of you is you? If you cut off your arm, are you still here, or are
you where your arm is? Your legs, torso, appendages, everything is all
just add-ons. It's your brain that houses the soul while alive (or
maybe a charkra in yer head, I dunno yet). When you die, the energy
(not like fueled energy, spiritiual energy) goes to the other
dimension.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." To me, this
means that He made the different planes, the physical and the astral.
He created the "firmament" of Heaven, which is the astral plane, the
place your everlasting soul ends up, and depending on whether or not
you've been "good, " this could be a great thing, or a horrible fate.

Depending on your abitility to handle this astral plane, you could have
the time of your "life, " or it could be disastrous. I personally
believe that this is where the idea of Heaven and Hell came from. If
you're spiritually mature, able to give up your individuality (because
you're becoming part of The One, the Ultimate) yet remain a positive
influence, your consciousness will take advantage of what death has to
offer. You'll know universal truths and see things you could never
imagine, worlds and creatures you had no idea existed. But if you led a
"bad, " or spiritually impure, life, then out of necessity and law, you
won't be able to experience it that way. Your soul just isn't the same
as others; it's tainted, unable to do or accept what's necessary in
order for it to truly be free. I'm not sure how this experience would
be, perhaps it could be compared to torture, a veritable Hell, full of
pain and immobility, the loss of knowledge and light.

So, yes, it depends on who you are as a person, whether or not you'll
be happy after death. But not by the Judeo-Christian standards, though
they might have a couple things correct.
