Five thoughts, ideas, insights, or quotes to power up your mind to think differently and creatively about life and who we are. Put all previous thinking away and open up a brand new world of the Supermind. YOUR SuperMind.
This week – Life After Death.
The only thing guaranteed to happen to every single one of us is death. No-one gets off this planet alive. But when we do is it the end? Do we walk through death’s door never to return? Or is there life after death and another world or whole new existence? SMS probes the possibilities.
1. Bodies or Spirits?
Death is our last bodily experience on Earth. But maybe that body was only built for a physical mortal life. Once it comes to and end we metamorphosise into another type of body that is more a spirit form. A spirit type essence that we wouldn’t understand so we are not built with the knowledge of this. We don’t ‘know’ but we sense something. A kind of inner knowing instinct.
Are our senses that there is another existence beyond this one accurate? Can we trust them? Or is to all pure hope?
2. A forever soul?
Around the engine of a car is the body. A specially constructed shell that houses the powerhouse of the vehicle. Maybe then, our human body is also a shell that houses our own force that powers existence. As the body lasts as long as our human life does, if we go on what is our own inner power element everything is based on? That forever part? The No.1 belief of those who say we can’t ever dies is the so-called soul. The never ending personal essence that is part of everything that is and will be. One that exists right here now as we live our mortal years.
Do we have a forever element? And is that a soul? What is a ‘soul’?
3. Can we prove it?
Life after death is a belief, just like whether there is a heaven or a hell. So too though is the view that death is only death. We will all find out one day but until then, whatever deaths leads to we have to wait and see. Now the growing band of spiritualists would counter otherwise. They would cite plenty of examples of those who have ‘come back’ to share proof of their existence in the afterlife. Could that be the only proof we have? There could be another way….
As science is so advanced now, can we use it to begin proving life after death? What is the best way to do this?
4. The danger of knowing.
As it stands right now, life ends when we pass away. Done. Ended. Finito. Armed with that fact we focus on building the best and/or happiest life possible between cradle and grave. We take risks but overall nothing cavalier or perilous as we want to survive and stay alive as long as possible. The threat of death and our final demise leads us to choosing a measured path through life.
But, if we DID know that there was another life to come how would we live this one? Would the world fall apart as there would be no ultimate consequence to our actions? And is it THIS reason why we aren’t granted true knowledge of afterlife living?
5. Is one life enough anyway?
Now this whole post has been based upon on a core assumption. That people would want to live on in some form. It’s most people’s natural instinct after all. It may not be a human type existence, but, well, it would be life after all. But what about those who think one life is enough? There are those who want one life and to cram as much as possible into it. For them it’s about the experience rather than the life. So….
Is one life enough if we live it our way? Do we really want to keep on living again and again with no seeming end?
Ok, that’s another SuperMind Saturday done. Thank you for being here for the SuperMind time. Keep thinking about these. It’s good to have some depth to thinking. We need more minds thinking about this issue and the others issue on SuperMind Saturdays. Life takes on a whole new meaning when we do!
See you next time for more super thinking.
