Afterlife ~ yes, or no?

Posted , 9 users are following.

I am curious of how other's feel about the "afterlife". If you believe there is one or isn't.

I am a believer that we are living in the midst of going to a wonderful, fullfilling afterlife or come back until we get it right...what do you think?

    My mum's a staunch athiest who doesn't believe in anything spiritual or metaphysical, yet she said that her brother, who'd recently died, tapped her on the shoulder. Coming from her I can't help but believe it!

      Yes, the weight of the posts on this forum are very persuasive. The most persuasive so far is your post telling us of you mum and her brother.

      Over the years I have heard several people tell of contact from the one who had recently died.

      Hi Georgia ~

      What are your beliefs with this subject?  Was your mother afraid or did she get a feeling of peace?  After my brother in law passed away, he was very young.  Anyway, we got the phone call at midnight from the hospital so my husband left to pick up my BIL's wife and I stayed home with our kids.  As I was sitting all alone in the famly room,crying, I felt him put his hand on my shoulder and said to me, "sis, this place is beautiful" and then I felt a "whoosh" sound!  I was the only one EVER to this day that he came back to visit me and assure me that afterlife was a beatuiful thing.  I will always hold this experience dear to my heart and forever be thankful that he trusted in me to receive him with open arms.  He was such a fun person to be around, he always made me laugh.  He called me "sis".  That touched me, too!

      Geesh, with all that said, Georgia, if you don't mind, would you kindly share your feelings on ths subject or share an experience with us?

      Warmly,

      Frustrated smile

      What a beautiful story! My mum wasn't scared; more than anything I think she was surprised and astounded. She's not very open spiritually but I'm sure she must have gained something from it, though she still doesn't believe in an afterlife as far as I'm aware.

      I'll relate something that happened in a new reply.

      O gosh! this is all so beautiful. When my father in law died a couple of days later he visited my mother in law to check she was OK. That done he never visited her again. I find that still very touching. Love transcends the divide between this life and the better one to come. I believe we will all reap a rich harvest from our relationships on this forum (and without any prejudice to beloved family and dear friends). There is something very powerful going in the relationships being developed here on this forum.

    I live in a tiny village and we have a thatched Inn, the oldest in the county. There's a hall at the back and they were having an auction to raise money for the church. I donated a lovely carpet and went to the auction to see if it sold. It was so crowded I had to stand all through it; I wanted to sit down for a rest so I went in the Inn and bought a drink. 

    There was only me and two bar staff in there. They were talking at the end of the bar so I walked up to them to ask what time the auction ended. As I walked away from my seat my drink flew off the bar by itself and smashed on the floor!

    The manager arrived and said that there are often reports of ghosts in the Inn. There's no bad feeling in there though and I got the impression someone on the other side was trying to get my attention. Once a friend died and was lost and frightened. He came to me to help him to find his way and I guided him into the light. Perhaps the person in the bar knew I could do that. I've done it with several people.
