I lost my dad a few months ago. There is such a strange turning point in our lives when we lose a parent. When the reality that my dad is now gone, was an awakening moment for me. I mourn his death and miss him in my life.. but I am also sad for him that his life is over.
People say things like "he is in a better place", which may be true.. but we don't know for sure. Of course, we all want to think there is a continuation of our soul after leaving this life. It was from this place of sadness for my dad that his life is over, where I began to question my own mortality and life after death.
The truth about death is we don't know the truth.
Death is something we as humans all have in common, yet not everyone agrees on their perception of what happens at death. If you are religious, you have beliefs that you learned. Most of the religions have a strong viewpoint regarding death. Nearly all the religions believe in afterlife, reincarnation, heaven and hell, or soul. Religion is a major part of life and death. In fact, the concept of death in different religions differs a lot. For instance, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism have discrete opinions about death and what comes after.
The thing I have always questioned is how one certain religion could be right and another wrong?
When I was a little girl, I feared death. I remember laying in bed at night wondering what happened after death and scaring myself with thoughts of just vast blackness and nothingness. Was this in part due to the fact that I wasn't raised in a religious home? Some might say not having been taught a certain religious concept could be why. Maybe.
I just never felt content putting myself into a certain religion's box of ideals. Which is why recently I have found myself going down a spiritual path. The idea that we are all individual souls connected to one Source living a life (or many lives) here with meaning and purpose for our soul's growth resonates with me. It has certainly lessened my fear of death but hasn't stopped me questioning what exactly happens after.
Is being religious or spiritual just our human way of comforting ourselves into believing that we have a soul and it lives on after we die?
Last month I had an amazing experience I will never forget. I was in a live broadcast with a psychic medium in a Facebook spiritual group I am currently in. Now, before you think oh here we go with the woo woo stuff.. I was skeptic too at the beginning. All I did was ask if there were any messages from my dad and the things she said just blew me away. There were so many personal things about my current life and my moms that were so specific, that I was convinced it had to be real. It gave me such comfort knowing my dad actually might be in a better place and his energy was always with us.
Are psychics able to tap into the truth about what happens to us after death? I will leave that up to you to decide. I choose to keep an open mind even though I realize I will never know the absolute truth until I join dad on the other side.
Sorry for your loss, and at the same time, isn't it quite wonderful how deep we are able to go when these upsetting experiences in life push us there. I believe that many religions (or indoctrinations) restrict us from exploring the greater truths. Eastern culture is quite different.
Thank you so much @katieskills .. I agree, the restrictions of certain beliefs ingrained into people kinda just keep them feeling safe throughout life I guess. But you're right it's wonderful to experience great awakenings out of darkness!
I have had many many "experiences" since I was a young child with spirit. If it wasnt for those experiences, I think I would have a completely different view on things. We weren't religious growing up but rather open to many different opinions so to speak. I think that there is a place for religion for certain people, I'm not really one of those people and prefer to pick and choose what I want to believe. But back to the original question at the end, do I think psychics can tap in - ABSOLUTELY. I wouldn't call myself psychic but intuitive, and I have had family members of my own and of people I don't know very well come to me (I can picture them in my head) and when I describe them to the people, they know who im talking about. Anyway sorry for the ramble there but this is quite an interesting topic!
Thank you for your comment and I absolutely agree!! The psychic mediums is a fascinating topic and one I don't think we can ignore or write off as fake. It might actually be a window into the truth of our soul's journey. Also QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy).. have you hear of that? I want to make a post about it soon. It's absolutely amazing!! Anyway, I know what you mean by being an intuitive. I am too. I believe we are all capable of psychic abilities.. we just haven't learned how to yet.
I think your absolutely right about all of us having the ability. I think many of us don't know what's 'normal' and so we assume everyone is getting the same information as we are if that makes sense. We just take it as normal when in fact it's more. Anyway I haven't heard of QHHT, but I look forward to reading your write up in it!
Ok, ok.. I'm sorry for your loss, really. Its all tragic.. but a hundred years from now you will face the same ordeal.... Welcome it as a new journey. This will free you sister...
Thank you @johnnycopper1 ... good point. Maybe it would be more tragic if we knew the truth each time?
My condolance on your loss. Words are hard with this.
Both my parents have passed away. I was blessed beyond measure to be there and hold my mother when she passed away. I can tell you, my sister and I both felt it when her soul left her body. Our loved ones are still with us, they've just taken on a different form. <3
Awww thank you so much.. What an amazing experience for you and your sister. I have heard others having the same feeling when their loved ones have passed. I believe you are right, their energy and essence is always near us <3
Sorry for that, Such type of incidents was leave a stan in our heart, we can't judge our filling, what is the motive of life, it's just a joke of life who playing with all of us
Thank you.. yes like is like a game, isn't it?
