Afterlife - My philosophy about it
What controls our body is the brain and what controls the action, thoughts and emotions of our body is the soul. Maybe they are interconnected somewhere around hippocampus or the limbic system, I'll leave that a discovery for the philosophic scientists to find out. But when we die, a certain mass is lost from our body almost instantly.. I read it somewhere in an article. Maybe the lost mass is what we call to be our soul? Who knows right?
Anyways the soul is out of the body now. Where does it go? What does it look like? What is heaven and what is hell? Are there even all these afterlife things?
I believe there to be one, an afterlife. I know things like these are not proven by science, but hey! The theory of gravity (The general theory of relativity) proposed by Einstein back in 1915 was not experimentally proven neither.But it came out to be true after the first taken image of the black hole in 2019, a century later! I have few scientific theories for myself to feel that way, some spiritual, and some personal. Let me start .
As I said, I believe there to be an afterlife. But I’m not certain where the soul goes. I highly believe that they stay right here,but in other dimensional form. Do you remember that time when you were in your mother's womb? I don't. Probably you don't remember any of it either,unless you have Hyperthymesia or something. Such warm, beautiful, peaceful place the womb could have been, how happy we must have been there, being one with our god, the creator. but, the cycle must continue.. we soon need to come out to this external world. We do come out, grow up, live a life we are destined to live right now, but do we ever remember our life in the womb? No. That world is in this universe as well right? But do we remember anything? miss anything? No.
I know this could have been an stupid comparison for me to make. Laugh at me for this, mock me but think about it. Could this Earth be the similar womb for us? In the womb, we develop our physical form and partly (just partly) control it with the brain. Maybe this cycle in this earth or this dimension we are living could be to develop the mind, and partly control it by spirit..And maybe... just maybe.. we will metamorphosize into another world out of this womb called earth, forget all about the time in it, grow into another form where we develop the spirit which will now be controlled by some other force we are unknown of. So, this was my spiritual theory, in short, about what afterlife could be.
Now, let me try to bring out a scientific theory. Do you know about the dimensions? We read that in math remember? The X axis, Y axis, Z axis and stuff to make it simpler. Imagine a line, Just a straight line. If you were a one dimensional object yourself... meaning, having only the length or breadth, you would be a line yourself right? If we add 4 lines in specific pattern, it would make a box, which has both length and breadth. But you are only one dimensional yourself, so you won't be able to see anything. If you were two dimensional object however, you would be able to see only the line out of that box. Don't understand? okay look.. We are living in a three dimensional world right? Our world has length, breadth and height. So, we are a 3 dimensional beings. But what about our vision? look around you... You will be able to perceive only 2 dimensional objects... meaning you will be able to see only in 2 dimensions. Just like a photo, which has only the length and breadth. Imagine a realistic image of an apple drawn on a paper which is kept right beside a real apple. Can you tell which one is real and which one is drawing? or.. can you tell which one is 3d and which one is 2d? No. Why? because, we, being a 3D beings, our vision is 2D. a 2D being would have a 1D vision and so on. Now let me come to the point... Suppose... Our soul is a 4D being. or maybe 5D, or some higher dimensional form. Same with the god and other supernatural beings. Our soul being a higher dimensional being , the people around us, the living ones will not be able to see us, perceive us with their 2D vision. They could be right around us, right with us, watching over us, guarding, guiding, laughing at our silly deeds but we just won't be able to see them. Sometimes people say that they saw some shape shifting ghost or some unworldly being or a ghost... Maybe that was actually the 3 dimensional part of them we are able to see out of their complete 4D form? as the 4D body moves, we get to witness the variable shapes of their 3D form we are able to perceive making it look like they are shapeshifting?
Do the bacteria from a petri dish or a slide or a swab see us? I don't think they do. But We, big and mighty beings to those puny bacterias do exist right? Do the bacteria in our body know that they are inside a human being? Why the bacteria? Each and every cells in the body is an independent living organism.. Do they know that they are working themselves to death just to make our body move to that Mcdonald's to get some burger? Our cells die, they shed off, they are replaced by new ones. The urine, excreta, sweat and dead skin and mucus membranes come out of our body, get mixed in the sand, provide manure and a plant is helped to be grown. Maybe we are the cells of someones body? Maybe we are the bacteria? We move from one body to the other, which is like moving from the one universe to the another.Maybe the body we reside in is the almighty, maybe that is heaven. As I said before, this is just my theory, my philosophy, mixed with the philosophies and theories I've learned, listened to... I know The heaven and hell is not mentioned even once in this long article I wrote, Because I don't know how to add things up to that theory.. I'm still persuing the knowledge of philosophy and the spiritual knowledge. Maybe someday when I find a way to connect the good deeds, karma, iman which helps in our spiritual growth with how they may determine to a path in our afterlife, r when I find more about these two places, I'll be sure to update it in this very article or write a new one. But well, that was my scientific theory.
Now, Let me come to a more personal point of view. I don't know if I should be saying this out in public or not because events like these are highly ridiculed by everyone and yes! I found it quite ridiculous myself before. I want to mention beforehand that this emotional point of view of mine is not going to give an answer about what happens after death, or where the body goes, but it just makes me believe in afterlife exists and there is somewhere to go. So, it's about my sister's death. She passed away in an uneventful accident, a plane crash. So, at the day of the accident, I was not in Nepal, because of my studies. I had just heard the news of the accident, frantically calling all the friends and relatives to go and search for my sister, and be there for dad. Has she lost her life or is she safe? We didn't know. Where was she taken to? We didn't know. What dress had she put on that day? We didn't know. After hours of feeling helpless, not being able to be there with dad, not being able to go anywhere, not being able to do anything, I decided to take a short nap, I was tired. Notice that I didn't know any news about my sister till then. In my dreams came my sister. Burnt in places, bruises and the wounds I'd rather not describe. Because it was a dream,I knew it was my sister. she came close to me and said,"Keep dad happy!" and got inside me, or vanished. Later that evening, they sent me the bad news, and a picture to make sure if it was her. I had not seen her pic after the accident that day, but.. In the photo was the same burns, same bruise, same dress. The wounds and burns in the same exact place as I saw in the dreams. I didn't have any moment to grieve, or lose my senses because I was given a task to make someone happy, so, I can say it with full confidence that I was not hallucinating, and absolutely had not seen the photo before seeing the dream. We do see our demised loved ones in our dreams time and again, or sometimes feel their warm presence around us even when nobody's around.
So, Afterlife probably exists. Where do they go? In our hearts maybe. They might be around, looking at us, looking after us. or they might have forgotten about us, and continuing the new cycle of life somewhere in this dimension or the other. I'd love to know, what do you think?
