PREFACE I just got off work, and was thinking about this my entire shift. I know that most people on this forum are Catholic and I wanted some thoughts on what I believe. I an Agnostic, as I do believe there is something that is always judging us, but I don't believe in a big man in the sky spying on me playing survival/farming sims on my free time. This isn't an attack, just my thoughts.
REASON I very recently lost my cousin. Last time I saw/talked to him was on Easter. We both hung out outside near the firepit while the majority of the party was inside. We talked about this and that, caught up on our lives, and made plans to hang out sometime when our schedules aligned. That never happened.
We don't know how we died, just that he was found dead in his bed by his Dad (my Uncle) when he came over to visit him. This is the same man that lost his wife as he slept right next to her and had his daughter (my other cousin) spiral into darkness and use the family for her habits. The latter managed to come back, and just started a family of her own. Having found his son dead in the same house where all the other stuff went down has probably killed him emotionally. He was physically shaking at the funeral. Getting off topic, though.
MAIN POINT With his passing, and while I grieved, I started to think about life after death. I always had a theory, and I would like to share it.
In life, we are given two doors. One when we enter, and one where we leave. The hallway between them is our existence. It is a predetermined path that our life must take before we can leave and move on to the next. In this hallway, there are points where we can "die", but we don't really. Think of these as our near-death experiences. Our consciousness has to follow this path from start to end, and if we "die" before we reach the exit door, our spirit is moved to a healthy body in a different dimension/parallel universe where we keep living our predetermined life. This parallel is mostly the same, except for small differences. Think Mandela Effect. We have these memories that are considered false, but they are only "false" to the reality we slipped into where we "died".
When we reach the end door of our life, we are judged by something. God himself, a council of beings, the Flying Spaghetti Monster g for all I know. They shows us our deeds of our life, and how we respond to them. This determines where we are sent next. Either to live again on Earth as a second chance, or sent somewhere else to live a new life. Have adventures and trials as we did on Earth. It';s not like Buddhist reincarnation, as you will always come back as a sentient being with thoughts/emotion/empathy/etc.
I like to think that my cousin either "slipped" or he reached his door, and left to a new step in his eternal journey. It makes me more happy that he lives on somewhere else as opposed to a urn of ashes buried in the ground next to his mother/my aunt. I don;t know, I guess I am just venting and miss him a lot.
What are your guy's thoughts?
Not only this, but God has spoken to me as a child and later a few times as I got older. He is not something trivial and is actually way more powerful than you can imagine when He speaks. I was standing up one of the times and I just hit the ground and was terrified that I should not speak against God in that moment or I might die. He is very Holy, the very definition of it actually. One of the other times I actually manifested a demon and began to swear and blaspheme God as I was praying against sin and asking it to leave. God responded to the demon and said how much He loved me and how he had paid the price for my sin. I’m still blown away by this and the sin left with all the desires.
God is real…a loving, merciful God. I wanted to kill myself in a muddy, bloody bunker one night. Gave it one more chance. I prayed for God to reveal Himself to me. He did. Be careful what you pray for. 😉 I grew up a Methodist, but now I know God is inside me. Just read the red letters. Memorize the red letters. Jesus will guide you. You don’t need church, but if you find a good one, you’ll be blessed.
Jesus Christ is a real historical figure, and he either was telling the truth or was lying. God is our eternal Father and not confined to a single point, He is infinite and He is everything. God = existence. When we accept His Son, Jesus, as Lord and are baptized into His lordship, we are granted the Holy Spirit that serves as our guide and acts as a conduit for our soul. So God ends up existing in three—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Son brought the Spirit from the Father to us, so we may strive to live in the Father, and avoid the sin of this world ushered in by the devil and falling of our greatest ancestors.
I typed this left handed while pooping.
God bless!
Made since till the end of your post. Some things arent meant to be shared.
Amen except the pooping part 😉
Catholic? What the hell? Where'd you get that from? I
i think you'll like what i have to share. basically you're not far off. ..and neither is your cousin.
Catholic?!? Watch how many down votes this gets.
"Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death."
See? This board hates Catholics.
Catholic? No, I don't subscribe to that cult and frankly a very bad way for you to intro to what you went on to talk about. Don't assume shit like that, it's not a good look.
The soul never dies. The avatar body does, because it is organic and that is the only way consciousness is able to manifest in the third dimension. Try to imagine what a 4th or 5th dimensional consciousness would look like. Try to imagine what it would be like if you could communicate telepathically with others. Now imagine a group of souls connected telepathically like a soul memory complex.
Ok I’m going to share my experiences with death throughout my life- when I was 3 my father was hit by a car - he had a near death experience and talked about it- nothing fancy- popped out of his body and watched how the doctors made bets on if he would live. He was a miracle patient & survived. Later in life when I was a young mother I had a dream - it was my uncle who died when I was 9 - he came in a brilliant light and told me about something extremely serious that would happen (I don’t know what that is- I’m still waiting) in that dream I knew someone was standing next to me on my right side - I could feel the presence but I was immobilized and couldn’t turn to see. I kept telling myself to just turn & look but couldn’t- when finally a voice said my name and said you don’t need to see you know- and at that moment I knew it was God/Jesus- I then was told me my husband & son would be safe from all that was told to me & I was then filled with joy & happiness- to the point I felt like I would pop if I was filled even more. My brother had died since & he’s come to me in my dreams. Flash forward to my mother dying in the hospital - she talks about my brother sitting in the room with us- she also said that the Arc Angel Gabriel came to her - and he was HUGE she said- over 9ft tall- he took her and brought her all around and showed her things. One thing she said was there was thousands of people of every race & creed all praying & humming sending like their vibe out. At any rate - God is real- we have 1 soul however we are all connected through God- our Creator. Our love with others is what connects us all and that never dies. God is pure love and joy and it’s what our soul craves and this is why we can never find it outside of Him. We can get pieces here & there. This is what leads us to other human temptations looking for that joy but never fully experiencing it. Keep seeking Him!
Watch Surviving Death on Netflix. And this testimony https://twitter.com/thekeksociety/status/1679165765486886913?s=21&t=SBddF3er5PiusvO8QRJqVA
I too had experiences the 1st at age 3-4 where I had not been taught of Jesus yet when I saw him I knew who he was. At various times in my life I had visions, dreams and interactions with 'the other side'. No one can convince me there is no life after death.
It is how you live, believe that makes the difference. Like this person who always says catholicism is a cult. He is showing his hatred and no christian religion teaches that (so one might assume he follows a satanic rite). If you follow the commandments, the beatitudes, spend time in worship, and the greatest commandment (which he is violating right now) when your time here ends you will have no fear.
I'd be happy to open a dialogue via DM if you'd like. My perspective is not popular on this board. But I can help you better understand what you're now questioning.
I'll leave you with a single thought and you can decide whether you wish to proceed; you are the only judge.
Good post and I read it carefully.
I don't understand why it should be that you can appear to "die", thus de-railing the plan for your existence, but then that gets corrected and you get shifted into a parallel universe to continue on your path. It would be logically simpler if the Path Controller just prevented you from "accidentally" dying before your mission is complete.
Also I have a different feeling about when you get judged as you leave the exit door. My theory is that time does not exist and there are plenty of rocket scientists who also say that. If time does not exist then we all die "simultaneously" or at least in one single event. This is alleged in some formal religions as a sort of collective judgement day or Last Trump.
It is not so much that you are judged by an outside entity but more like everyone's deeds are now plainly visible and any one individual's "ranking" is obvious to everyone. A bit like the end of an athletics game where everyone can see who got gold silver bronze and so on. Hard to explain but I feel the judgement is a fact revealed rather than something that the spaghetti committee does to you.
