What do you or what does your religion believe happens after death?

In addition to what i replied to @Dargil , I'll have to point out that the "devil" (propelling both the egotistic clouded form of spiritual fantasy as you will see in many misguided schools of magick, as well as the "other" "devil" who propels the cold mechanistic materialism which you see from atheistic schools) doesn't have a physical body,

- it is a spiritual reality, dimension if you wish, which logically you don't enter after life, but rather, if you're influenced by it during life on earth, egotistic and materialistic, you will get stuck reincarnatating on earth, but with a progressively lower sense of morality. Imagine living on a totally loveless earth. Won't be long before atrocities and extermination.

That much we can conclude with certainty. If reincarnation is real https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/our-research/children-who-report-memories-of-previous-lives/

And if your past lives ultimately (obviously) influence you subconsciously (purely psychologically even if you ignore the addition of karma),

- then, if you also instead of developing an intuitive sense of right from wrong, you forcefully mute them with materialistic scientism,

- (which, again purely logically you can see evidence of intuitive perception of military secrets, even from under EMF-shielded submarines, https://ics.uci.edu/~jutts/

Then our conscience, sense of compassion also gets further and further cut off. Because conscience and compassion are similarly enabled by spiritual faculties as clairvoyance.

Naturally you're also gonna question why things exist the way they do. Why we even have an ego, why we need to develop spiritual faculties. Answer: because it would be impossible to have compassion in any different way. We did descend from a previously more spiritual reality, call it the symbolic garden of eden if you wish. But as the gnostics tell you, the man in that garden was an ignorant beast with no intellect.

If you want to know the ancient state of consciousness, still traces evident in those like Plato, just think of your state during dreams - in dreams you just perceive spiritually, but rarely think and calculate, usually, in dreams, your moral compass is off, as well as the sense of wonder and amazement since doing cool shit in dreams still feels dull.

You can see that the ego is essential in order to develop compassion, moral compass, thinking, sense of anything aside from visions.

So far everything i wrote is very much logical, and spiritually truthful. It matters not what i believe in, i wouldn't share it if i do not have concrete logic for you to understand why I believe in it anyway.

[Dargil]

I have beliefs of an eternal life. but they are unlike what we read in the Bible. Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein both described what happens to consciousness after our death. Although their explanations were far more technical, I came up with the same end result. That is that our spirits, souls or consciousness, whatever you want to call it, is rejoined with the universal consciousness. Back when I was a new ager,. We talked about the cosmic consciousness. I think there is one.

[Caughtulookin]

I didn't know Hawk and Ein even spoke of such things. That i think would be good reading.

[Caughtulookin]

You have a dream catcher as an avatar. Are you native? I've never heard natives use the term new age so im thinking not.

[Entertained_Adult]

Even disregarding the total lack of coherence with what we have from doing personal experiments using intuition, even what prominent intelligence agnecies found about psychic phenomena, what @Dargil mentioned doesn't stand to the decades of research gathering dozen thousands of verified-true past life memories in children, med.virginia.edu/.../

There really are issues with so-called "new age" teachings, and it's equal regardless of the background be it based on jewish or hindu or christian or pegan foundations, the problem with most magic teachings is, in a sense, that they operate from the wrong dimension. Any clairvoyance they do get is mudded with projections of their own soul and egotism, and not the objective "cosmic" perspective.

I'm not even talking about the fact that majority of religions are egotistic in nature (doing good only to avoid punishment) or materialistic (trying to see metric proofs of the spiritual) etc, (which again is in another way also stemming from operating from the wrong spiritual dimension).

[Caughtulookin]

@Entertained_Adult The religion i grew up in did not have a hell. Hell is such a sadistic approach.

[Entertained_Adult]

Right. However, most recognize something along the lines of a lucifer who enables an ego, and a satan which traps in materialism. Both are affecting us OUTSIDE of any supposed hell.

[Dargil]

Youtube videos for both. I came across both accidentally. It is surprising how close their explanations were.

[Dargil]

Several drops of Cherokee mixed in with the Celt but I was unconnected with Cherokee culture. New Age was fashionable back in the day.

[Caughtulookin]

I've read Carlos Castanada and Richard Schulteze which are non fictional studies of religions that use halucinagenics. Pretty much all native cultures use them still today.

I’d like to think there’s different stages. I think we do face judgement and then go on to either paradise or damnation but Hell is not eternal punishment. Rather, I believe Hell is indeed a place to punish the worst of us eternally, but for those of us with room to improve, it gives us those tools to do so. Maybe some punishment with experiencing your own actions from the other side, but also some therapy to recover and unpack why we did what we did, and when we finish we get to reincarnate and try again. You also have the option to just reincarnate straight after death, or if you’d rather stop all together then submit yourself to the void and cease existing. I like the idea that our choices carry weight but that the plane beyond this one isn’t without compassion for the souls that made mistakes because of their egos or similar motivations.

[Caughtulookin]

Similiar to Hindu but i dont think they choose anything. Sidartha i believe is about reincarantion in the true form but not what westerners believe.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I thought Siddartha was Buddha’s name before he was Buddha?

[BCRanger10]

The Catholic Faith teaches that the Four Last Things are Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell.

[Caughtulookin]

Yes these Catholic beliefs are fairly cliche now.

According to my religion, men will have sex with 72 houris in heaven and drink wine after they die. Women will burn in hell. I wish women were given 72 men too. 🤭

[Caughtulookin]

Is this the sex with virgins thing?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes this is the sex with virgins with newly budded breasts thing.

[jahaims]

The same thing that happens before you were conceived. You don't exist

[Caughtulookin]

Yea the bugs eat us or we mold and rot. Sounds logical doesn't it?

[Twalli]

I'm a polytheist, but I don't know if there's anything after death. This may be all we get, so we better make it good.

[Caughtulookin]

I've never heard that term. Polytheist. Sometimes i just think that we just get eaten by the bugs and thats it. My mother would get upset because she liked the idea of being with family again.

[Twalli]

Poly-many
Theism-dietiee
I believe there is/are more than one god/goddess.

[strateguy632]

The best explanation is: the dead, i mean souls "sleep" until the "day" singular of judgement. Then all will get judged.

[AndrésC64]

We rot in the ground like every other living thing.

[Caughtulookin]

Maybe.

[AndrésC64]

No reason at all to think otherwise.
