What happens after we die?-3

Scientists' Theory

Scientists have a new theory to explain the phenomenon. They say such experiences happen when the quantum substances forming the soul ‘leave’ the nervous system and enter the universe. Dr Stuart Hameroff of the University of Arizona claims that the essence of our souls is contained in microtubules within the brain cells. These dissipate into the universe when the heart stops, and return if the patient is resuscitated.

It's Chemistry Once Again

Yet others say that near-death experiences are a psychological phenomenon, a result of chemical changes in the brain.

A Turning Point

Going back to the lady in ICU. She says: "My ‘death’ proved to be the turning point in my life. Up until this point, I had spent my life worrying about what other people thought of me. As I recovered, I made a pledge that half-friendships and fair-weather friends were no longer enough. I stopped seeing the people I didn’t truly love, and told the ones I did just how much they meant to me, never forgetting for a moment just how lucky I was...I will never be able to understand or explain what happened to me on that fateful day nine years ago. But I no longer harbour a fear about death. At the same time, I have stopped being scared of life. I’ve never looked back since."

Hope Floats

Just hearing others speak of an afterlife infuses us with hope and accepting the concept of death makes us value each day of life more, doesn't it?

From Afterlife To Reincarnation

From afterlife, one comes to the topic of reincarnation, as in Hinduism, the soul is believed to travel across various planes of existence before returning back to the earth plane in one form or another. The situation of birth is said to be decided by one's karma, one's unfulfilled desires and one's unlearnt lessons...

Preserving The Dead...For Afterlife?

Ancient Egyptians famously preserved their dead by embalming them with various chemicals, which miraculously preserved the dead body for centuries afterwards. These bodies were known as "mummies". While the ancient Egyptians regarded this process as respecting their dead, modern-day thinkers thought just the opposite and this process has discontinued over time.

Hierarchy In Death

The Egyptians believed that when they died, they would make a journey to another world where they would lead a new life. They would need all the things they had used when they were alive, so their families would put those things in their graves. Egyptians paid vast amounts of money to have their bodies preserved properly. Egyptians who were poor were buried in the sand whilst the rich ones were buried in a tomb. The royals were preserved inside grand tombs, known as pyramids.
