r/The_Afterlife_Exists

I see this comment all the time in this forum: "Nobody knows."

I agree that nobody knows everything about the afterlife; I doubt that anyone knows everything about anything. We certainly don't know everything about the Earth, for example, and it's been directly examined and investigated for as long as people have existed.

But FFS, people, some things are known about the afterlife.

How is that knowledge acquired? From people who live there and from people who visit the afterlife from here. We're not talking about a few people, we're talking about vast numbers of people, from every walk of life, throughout history, from every corner of the world, including some of the most credible people to have ever lived; including many scientists, and including many former materialists and hardcore afterlife skeptics.

Are there some disparities between these reports? Yes, but all this means is that what we call "the afterlife" is a really big, diverse place. Of course there's going to be "disparities" between these reports. If we called up 1000 random numbers around the Earth, we'd get 1000 reports with different content in those reports about what life is like just on Earth. Some of it, maybe a lot of it, will match, and from these commonalities and disparities we can get some ideas, gather some knowledge, about some things in the afterlife.

One bit of well-established knowledge is that many, if not most, people who die here find themselves either immediately, or very quickly, in a physical body in a physical environment. They are still themselves. They usually feel like they have "woken up" and have "come home," or they are just confused about where they are and how they got there. Some people die and find themselves standing or floating near their dead body here, but soon a loved one or someone like a helper or a guide comes along and the dead person quickly transitions into the above-described afterlife landscape.

Virtually every scientist that has ever actually committed themselves to researching any category of afterlife research, even with the intent of "debunking" it, has walked away convinced of its existence, even though expressing that view usually ends their mainstream science careers due to materialist bias in the scientific community.

So: yes, we know there is an afterlife (and by "we", I mean the people that have actually taken the time to seriously research and investigate the evidence and/or have had personal experiences sufficient to prove its existence to us,) and yes, we do know at least some things about at least some areas in the afterlife, and what it is like - generally speaking - to live in those areas after we die.

So unfortunately, I decided to put off my plans for next weekend for personal, family reasons and I've been really getting into Robert Monroe's afterlife experiences and I really don't get it. Why do people make navigating the afterlife so complicated - "once out of the body, go to Orion," "once out of the body, go to the Source," "once out of the body, go to Pleroma," all of that is so complicated.

With death and the afterlife, it seems like people like Robert Monroe are just over complicating the afterlife. If everything outside of the body, if the entire afterlife outside of the body is thought-responsive, then why does a soul outside of the body have to think up going to "source" or "the I-There realms," or "Focus 42," which are supposed to be higher realms? Why can't they just use their thoughts to think up: "Take me to a higher realm where the Demiurge or Lucifer or Satan or the Demiurge or the archons or anyone malevolent can't reach, a higher realm outside of the matrix and the prison planet, where my already manifested realm/world is (or "where the realm/world I plan to manifest is)" and then automatically their thoughts would take the soul there, to their already manifested realm/world or to the realm/world they plan to manifest - that is outside of the matrix and the prison planet, and where the Demiurge or Lucifer or Satan or the Demiurge or the archons or anyone malevolent can't reach, and once there, the soul can create a protective barrier all around their already manifested realm/world or all around the realm/world they plan to manifest, to keep all malevolent entities, like the Demiurge, Lucifer, Satan, the archons and/or anyone malevolent out of the realm of Pelmont and out of the higher realm?

Because it just seems lik souls who leave the body after physical death, it seems as if they're looking for a specific destination in the afterlife - "go home to source," "go to the I-There realms," "go to Focus 42," so many destinations that you don't know which is which, instead of just teleporting to a high realm where your already manifested realm/world (or the realm/world that you plan to manifest) is, or will be, and teleporting to a high realm outside of the prison planet and the matrix, and where evil entities can't touch and if the entire afterlife outside of the body is thought-responsive, then what you have thought -- all that you have thought will manifest right then and there, and so to me, it seems like common sense easiness. You know what I mean?

I think people are just looking for direction, a specific place, instead of realizing that anywhere in the afterlife could be a specific place that they think up, a specific place outside of the matrix and the prison planet, if they just use intention and thoughts.

Automatic writing “popped” into my head on Saturday…and it keeps coming every couple of hours. I have zero idea or thoughts about this topic (or spent time reading about it).

My husband loved to write and we had a long standing joke about finding each other’s errors.

Is this a possibility?

Hello everyone,

Who are we when we die? Am I the same exact person as I am now? I always thought that you are made up of beliefs/assumptions. I’m not the same person I am now as I have been over my entire life at any given point. Help me understand what to expect when I cross over.

Thanks

Today, I had a talk with an evidential medium. Everything made sense. The people that I thought would come through absolutely came through. It was a beautiful experience. She told me things only they would know. I'm still a little skeptical, of course - it's the conditioning of society to believe death is the end. But that was an absolutely eye opening appointment for me. It felt like everyone who came through was with me, even though it was on zoom.

I've since moved this post here from the larger subreddit due to people trying to "disprove" mediumship/question my results as it made me uncomfortable. <3

Hey, I'm not sure if this question belongs here, but mainly I'm wondering... why is everything so bright over there?

I've seen my dad multiple times. Each time, his face was very bright. Once, we were in a white room/space. But every single time I've seen him, he looked so bright. Coincidentally or not, my mom has had the same experience, his face was really bright.

Not in a bad way at all, kinda in a youthful and good way (like younger than we knew him and 'healthier'? sort of, I don't know how to explain), but I'm just wondering what your experiences are.

Also, neither in my experiences nor in my mom's was he able to speak. We could both articulate simple questions after a while, for instance, I said "Is it you? Really you?" And he nodded and I hugged him, and my mom was on a similar page, she asked him "Are you feeling ok?" And he nodded yes.

I'm so sorry if this is out of scope of this sub, thank you.
