This one is a little tough. I don't think very many people want to think about death and what happen after that. But it is something we all have to face eventually.
I believe that all people go to an afterlife. The spirit just doesn't disappear into nothingness. I have always thought that where you depends on what you believe. If you believe that you are going to the Summerlands or Heaven or somewhere else, that is were you are going to end up.
But that does bring up a couple of issues.
If you believe one in one afterlife, and your family believes in another then you won't end up together.
What happens to those who commit, for lack of a better word "sins", or great acts of evil? Surely they can't end up in their religions paradise.
Do we stay in afterlife forever, or are we reborn into this, or even other, worlds?
I don't know.
Perhaps all afterlives exist together on one plane, and you see what you want to. Maybe those who commit evil acts are judged by their particular deity and sentence to another part of that plane. Maybe you get to choose to be reborn to learn more life lessons.
I'm sure that as I grow my ideas of the afterlife will change. But nobody truly knows until that day comes.
Any thoughts?
