Without exaggeration, we can say that every person from a certain age thinks about death and asks himself: When a person dies, what happens...

What happens to a person after death

And, in general, is anything happening? It is difficult not to ask such questions simply because death is the only inevitable event in the life of every living being. Many events may or may not happen to us during our lives, but death is something that will happen to everyone.

At the same time, the idea that death is the end of everything and forever seems so frightening and illogical that it itself deprives life of any meaning. Not to mention the fact that the fear of one’s own death and the death of loved ones can poison the most cloudless life.

Probably partly for this reason, throughout the existence of mankind, the answer to the question: “When a person dies, what happens to him?” searched for by mystics, shamans, philosophers and representatives of all kinds of religious movements.

And, I must say, there are as many possible answers to this question as there are religions and various spiritual and mystical traditions.

And today, information about life after death can be found not only in religious and mystical traditions. The development of psychology and medicine, especially since the second half of the 20th century, has made it possible to accumulate a large number of recorded, recorded testimonies from people who experienced clinical death or coma.

The number of people who have experienced separation from the body and traveled to the so-called afterlife or subtle worlds is so large today that it has become a fact that is difficult to ignore.

Books are written and films are made on this topic. Some of the most famous works, which became bestsellers and translated into many languages, Life After Life by Raymond Moody and the Journeys of the Soul trilogy by Michael Newton.

Raymond Moody worked as a clinical psychiatrist and over a long period of medical practice he encountered so many patients who had near-death experiences and described them in surprisingly similar ways that even as a man of science he recognized that this could not be explained simply by chance or coincidence.

Michael Newton, Ph.D. and hypnotherapist, during his practice was able to collect several thousand cases in which his patients not only remembered their own past lives, but also recalled in great detail the circumstances of death and the journey of the soul after the death of the physical body.

To date, Michael Newton's books contain perhaps the largest and most detailed description of post-mortem experiences and the life of the soul after the death of the physical body.

To summarize, there are many theories and stories about what happens to a person after the death of the body. Sometimes these theories are very different from each other, but they are all based on the same basic premises:

Firstly, a person is not only a physical body; in addition to the physical shell, there is an immortal soul or consciousness.

Secondly, nothing ends with biological death; death is just a door to another life.

Where does the soul go, what happens to the body after death?

Many cultures and traditions note the importance of 3, 9 and 40 days from the death of the body. It is not only in our culture that it is customary to remember the deceased on the 9th and 40th days.

It is believed that for three days after death it is better not to bury or cremate the remains, since during this time the connection between the soul and the body is still strong and burying or even moving the ashes over a long distance can break this connection and thus disrupt the natural division of the soul with the body.

According to the Buddhist tradition, in most cases, the soul for three days may not realize the fact of death and behave the same way as during life.

If you watched the film “The Sixth Sense”, then this is exactly what happens to Bruce Willis’s hero in the film’s plot. He does not realize that he has been dead for some time and his soul continues to live at home and visit familiar places.

Thus, for 3 days after death, the soul remains close to its relatives and often even in the house where the deceased lived.

During 9 days, the soul or awareness, having accepted the fact of death, usually completes, if necessary, worldly affairs, says goodbye to relatives and friends and prepares to travel to other subtle, spiritual worlds.

But what exactly does the soul see, who does it meet after the end?

According to most records of people who have experienced coma or clinical death, meetings occur with previously deceased relatives and loved ones. The soul experiences incredible lightness and peace that were unavailable during life in the physical body. The world, through the eyes of the soul, is filled with light.

The soul, after the death of the body, sees and experiences what a person believed in during life.

An Orthodox person can see angels or the Virgin Mary, a Muslim can see the Prophet Muhammad. A Buddhist will most likely encounter Buddha or Avalokiteshvara. An atheist will not meet any angels or prophets, but he will also see deceased loved ones who will become his guides to spiritual dimensions.

With regard to life after death, we can rely either on the views of religious and spiritual traditions, or on the descriptions of the experiences of people who have experienced clinical death or remember their previous lives and after-death experiences.

On the one hand, these descriptions are as varied as life. But, on the other hand, almost all of them have a common point. The experience that a person receives after the death of his physical body is largely determined by his beliefs, state of mind and actions in his life.

And it’s hard to disagree with the fact that our actions throughout life were also determined by our worldview, beliefs and faith. And in spiritual world, free from physical laws, the desires and fears of the soul are realized instantly.

If during life in a material body our thoughts and desires could be hidden from others, then on the spiritual planes everything secret becomes clear.

But, despite the differences, in most traditions it is believed that until the end of 40 days, the soul of the deceased is in subtle spaces, where it analyzes and sums up the life lived, but still has access to earthly existence.

Often, relatives see the dead in dreams during this period. After 40 days, the soul, as a rule, leaves the earthly world.

A man feels his death

If you have ever lost someone close to you, then perhaps you know that often on the eve of death or the onset of a fatal illness, a person intuitively feels that his life is running out.

May occur frequently intrusive thoughts about the end or just a premonition of trouble.

The body feels the approach of its death and this is reflected in emotions and thoughts. To have dreams that are interpreted by a person as a harbinger of imminent death.

It all depends on a person’s sensitivity and how well he can hear his soul.

Thus, psychics or saints almost always not only sensed the approach of death, but could know the date and circumstances of the end.

How does a person feel before death?

How does a person feel before death is determined by the situations in which he leaves this life?

A person whose life was full and happy or a deeply religious person can leave calmly, with gratitude, in full acceptance of what is happening. A person dying of a serious illness may even view death as a release from physical pain and an opportunity to leave his decrepit body.

In the event of an unexpected serious illness occurring to a person in at a young age there may be bitterness, regret and rejection of what is happening.

The experience before death is very personal and it is unlikely that there will be two people with the same experience.

One thing is for sure, what a person feels before crossing strongly depends on what his life was like, how much of what he wanted to achieve, how much love and joy there was in life, and, of course, on the circumstances of death itself.

But, according to numerous medical observations, if death was not instantaneous, a person feels how gradually strength and energy leave the body, the connection with the physical world becomes thinner, and the perception of the senses noticeably deteriorates.

According to descriptions of people who have experienced clinical death as a result of illness, death is very similar to falling asleep, but you wake up in another world.

How long does it take for a person to die

Death, like life, is different for everyone. Someone is lucky and the end happens quickly and painlessly. A person can simply fall asleep, experience cardiac arrest in this state and never wake up again.

Some people struggle for a long time with a fatal disease such as cancer and live on the verge of death for some time.

There is not, and cannot be, any script here. But the soul leaves the body at the moment when life leaves the physical shell.

The reason why the soul leaves this world can be old age, illness, or injuries received as a result of an accident. Therefore, how long a person dies depends on the cause that led to death.

What awaits us “at the end of the road”

If you are not a person who believes that everything ends with the death of the physical body, then at the end of this path a new beginning awaits you. AND we're talking about not just about the new birth or life in the Garden of Eden.

In the 21st century, many scientists no longer consider the death of the physical body as the end of the human soul or psyche. Of course, scientists, as a rule, do not operate with the concept of soul; instead, they more often use the word consciousness, but the main thing is that many of modern scientists do not deny the existence of life after death.

For example, Robert Lanza, an American, Doctor of Medicine and Professor at Wake Forest University of Medicine, argues that after the death of the physical body, a person’s consciousness continues to inhabit other worlds. In his opinion, the life of the soul or consciousness, unlike the life of the physical body, is eternal.

Moreover, from his point of view, death is nothing more than an illusion that is perceived as reality due to our strong identification with the body.

He describes his view of what happens to human consciousness after the death of the physical body in the book “Biocentrism: Life and Consciousness - the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe.”

To summarize, we can say that although there is no clear answer to the question of what happens after death, but according to all religions and latest discoveries in medicine and psychology, life does not end with the end of the physical body.

What happens to the soul after death in different religions

From the point of view of various religious traditions, life after the death of the physical body clearly exists. The differences, by and large, are only in where and how.

Christianity

In Christian traditions, including Orthodoxy, there are concepts of judgment, judgment day, heaven, hell and resurrection. After death, each soul awaits a judgment, at which godly, good and sinful deeds are weighed and there is no opportunity to be reborn.

If a person’s life was burdened with sins, then his soul may go to purgatory or, in the case of mortal sins, to hell. Everything depends on the severity of the sins and the possibility of their atonement. At the same time, the prayers of the living can influence the fate of the soul after death.

As a result, in the Christian tradition it is important to perform the funeral ceremony over the grave on the day of burial and periodically pray for the repose of souls of the dead during church services. According to the Christian religion, sincere prayers for the departed can save the soul of a sinner from eternal stay in hell.

Depending on how a person lived, his soul ends up in purgatory, heaven or hell. The soul ends up in purgatory if the sins committed were not mortal or in a situation where there is no ritual of remission of sins or purification during the dying process.

After experiencing unpleasant sensations tormenting the soul and gaining repentance and atonement, the soul gets a chance to go to heaven. Where she will live in peace among angels, seraphim and saints until the day of judgment.

Paradise or the kingdom of heaven is a place where the souls of the righteous are in bliss and enjoy life in perfect harmony with everything that exists, and do not know any need.

A person who has committed mortal sins, regardless of whether he was baptized or not, a suicide or simply an unbaptized person, cannot go to heaven.

In hell, sinners are tormented by hellfire, torn into pieces and experience endless torment as punishment, and all this lasts until the day of judgment, which must take place with the second coming of Christ.

Descriptions of the loan hour can be found in the New Testament in the Bible, in the Gospel of Matthew verses 24–25. God's judgment or great day of judgment will forever determine the fate of the righteous and sinners.

The righteous will rise from the grave and find eternal life at the right hand of God, while sinners will be condemned to burn in hell forever.

Islam

The concept of judgment, heaven and hell in Islam in general is very similar to Christian tradition, but there are some differences. In Islam, much attention is paid to the rewards that a holy soul receives in heaven.

The righteous in Muslim paradise not only enjoy peace and tranquility, but live surrounded by luxury, beautiful women, delicious dishes, and all this in the wonderful gardens of paradise.

And if heaven is a place for the fair reward of the righteous, then hell is a place created by the Almighty for the legal punishment of sinners.

The torment in hell is terrible and endless. For someone who is condemned to hell, the “body” is increased in size several times in order to multiply the torment. After each torture, the remains are restored and subjected to suffering again.

In Muslim hell, as in Christian hell, there are several levels that differ in the degree of punishment depending on the severity of the sins committed. Enough detailed description heaven and hell can be found in the Quran and Hadith of the Prophet.

Judaism

According to Judaism, life is essentially eternal, therefore, after the death of the physical body, life simply moves to another, higher, so to speak, level.

The Torah describes the moments of the soul's transition from one dimension to another, depending on what inheritance the soul has accumulated from its actions during life.

For example, if the soul was too strongly attached to physical pleasures, then after death it experiences unspeakable suffering, since in the spiritual world, not having a physical body, it does not have the opportunity to satisfy them.

In general, we can say that in the Jewish tradition, the transition to higher, spiritual parallel worlds reflects the life of the soul in the body. If in the physical world life was joyful, happy and filled with love for God, then the transition will be easy and painless.

If the soul, while living in the body, did not know peace, was filled with hatred, envy and other poisons, all this will turn into afterworld and intensify many times over.

Also, according to the book “Zaor”, the souls of people are under the constant protection and supervision of the souls of the righteous and ancestors. Souls from the subtle worlds help and guide the living, because they know that the physical world is only one of the worlds created by God.

But, although our familiar world is only one of the worlds, souls always return to this world in new bodies, therefore, while caring for the living, the souls of ancestors also take care of the world in which they will live in the future.

Buddhism

In the Buddhist tradition there is a very important book that describes in detail the process of dying and the journey of the soul after the death of the body - the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It is customary to read this text in the ear of the deceased for 9 days.

Accordingly, within 9 days after death they do not commit funeral rite. All this time, the soul gets the opportunity to hear step-by-step instructions about what it can see and where it can go. To convey the essence, we can say that the soul will feel and experience what it was inclined to love and hate during life.

What the human soul felt for strong love, attachment or fear and disgust will determine what kind of pictures a person will see during his 40-day journey in the spiritual world (bardo). And in what world is the soul destined to be reborn in the next incarnation?

According to the Tibetan book of the dead", during the journey in the posthumous bardo, a person still has a chance to liberate the soul from karma and further incarnations. In this case, the soul does not receive a new body, but is sent to bright lands Buddhas or subtle worlds of Gods and Demigods.

If a person experienced too much anger and showed aggression during life, such energies can attract the soul to the worlds of asuras or half-demons. Excessive attachment to physical pleasures, which does not dissolve even with the death of the body, can cause rebirth in the worlds of hungry ghosts.

A completely primitive way of existence, aimed only at survival, can lead to birth in the animal world.

In the absence of any strong or excessive attachments and aversions, but in the presence of attachment to the physical world as a whole, the soul will take birth in a human body.

Hinduism

The view of the life of the soul after death in Hinduism is very similar to that of Buddhism. Which is not surprising, since Buddhism has Hindu roots. There are slight differences in the descriptions and names of the worlds in which the soul can be reborn. But the point is also that the soul receives rebirth according to karma (the consequences of the actions that a person performed during life).

The fate of a person’s soul after death - can it get stuck in this world?

There is evidence that the soul can become stuck in the physical world for some time. This can happen if there is strong attachment or pain towards those who remain or if there is a need to complete an important task.

This often happens due to unexpected death. In such cases, as a rule, death is too great a shock for the soul itself and for the relatives of the deceased. The intense pain of loved ones, their reluctance to come to terms with the loss, and important unfinished business do not give the soul the opportunity to move on.

Unlike those who die of illness or old age, people who die unexpectedly do not have the opportunity to make a will. And often the soul wants to say goodbye to everyone, to help, to ask for forgiveness.

And if the soul does not have any painful attachments to a place, a person, or physical pleasure, then, as a rule, it, having completed all its affairs, leaves our earthly world.

Soul on the day of funeral

On the day of the burial or cremation ceremony, the soul of a person is usually present next to the body among relatives and friends. Therefore, it is considered important in any tradition to pray for the easy return of the soul home.

In Christian customs, these are funeral services; in Hinduism, these are sacred texts and mantras, or simply good and good words uttered over the body of the deceased.

Scientific evidence for the existence of life after death

If the testimony of eyewitnesses who have experienced near-death experiences, psychics who see souls and people who are able to leave the body can be considered evidence, then there are now, without exaggeration, hundreds of thousands of such confirmations.

A large number of recorded stories of people who experienced coma or clinical death, with comments from medical researchers, can be found in Moody's book Life After Life.

Several thousand different unique stories about life after death obtained as a result of regressive hypnosis by Dr. Michael Newthan are described in his books, dedicated to travel souls. Some of the most famous are “The Journey of the Soul” and “The Destination of the Soul.”

In the second book, “A Long Journey,” he describes in detail what exactly happens to the soul after death, where it goes and what difficulties it may encounter on its way to other worlds.

Quantum physicists and neuroscientists have now learned to measure the energy of consciousness. They haven't yet come up with a name for it, but they have recorded a subtle difference in movement electromagnetic waves in a conscious and unconscious state.

And if it is possible to measure the invisible, to measure consciousness, which is often equated to the immortal soul, then it will become obvious that our soul is also a type of very subtle energy.

Which, as you know, from Newton’s first law is never born, never destroyed, energy only passes from one state to another. And this means that the death of the physical body is not the end - it is just another stop on the endless journey of the immortal soul.

9 signs that deceased loved ones are nearby

Sometimes, when a soul lingers in this world, it remains for a while in order to complete its earthly affairs and say goodbye to loved ones.

Eat sensitive people and psychics who clearly sense the presence of the souls of the dead. For them, this is the same part of reality as our world is for ordinary people, without psychic abilities. However, even people without special abilities talk about feeling the presence of a deceased person.

Since communication with souls is possible only at the level of intuition, this contact often occurs in dreams, or manifests itself in subtle, psychic sensations that are accompanied by pictures from the past, or the voice of the deceased sounding in the head. In those moments when the soul is open, many are able to look into the spiritual world.

The following events may be a sign that the soul of a deceased person is near you

• Frequent appearance of the deceased in dreams. Especially if in a dream the deceased asks you for something.
• A sudden and unexplained change in smells near you. For example, the unexpected smell of flowers, despite the fact that there are no flowers nearby, or coolness. And if you suddenly smell the perfume of the deceased or his favorite aroma, then you can be sure that his soul is nearby.
• The movement of objects is unclear. If you suddenly discover things where they could not possibly be. Especially if these are the things of the deceased. Or you suddenly began to discover unexpected objects on your way. Perhaps the deceased is attracting attention and wants to say something.
• A clear, undeniable feeling of the presence of a departed person nearby. Your brain, your feelings, still remember what it was like to be with the deceased before he died. If this feeling becomes as clear as during his life, rest assured that his soul is nearby.
• Frequent and obvious disruptions in work electrical appliances and electronics can be one of the signs of the presence of a deceased soul nearby.
• Unexpectedly hearing your favorite or meaningful music for both of you while you are thinking about the departed is another sure sign that his soul is nearby.
• Explicit sensations of touch when you are alone. Although for many it is a frightening experience.
• If any animal suddenly shows you Special attention, or persistently attracts you with his behavior. Especially if it was the deceased person’s favorite animal. This could also be news from him.

Death carries with it an imprint of mystery, horror and mysticism. And some have disgust. Indeed, what happens to a person after death, and in particular to his body, is an unpleasant sight. It is difficult for a person to come to terms with the fact that he himself, as well as his loved ones, will sooner or later cease to exist forever. And all that will remain of them is a decomposing body.

Life after death

Fortunately, all world religions claim that death is not the end, but only the beginning. And the testimonies of people who have experienced a terminal condition make us believe in the fact of the existence afterlife. Each religion has its own explanation of what happens to a person after leaving. But all religious teachings are one in one thing: the soul is immortal.

Inevitability, unpredictability, and sometimes insignificance of reasons fatal outcome brought the concept of physical death beyond human perception. Some religions presented sudden death as punishment for sins. Others are like a divine gift, after which an eternal and happy life without suffering.

All major world religions have their own explanation for where the soul goes after death. Most teachings speak of the existence of an immaterial soul. After the death of the body, depending on the teaching, reincarnation, eternal life or the achievement of nirvana awaits her.

Physical cessation of life

Death is the final stop of all physiological and biological processes of the body. The most common causes of death are:

The cessation of the body’s vital functions is divided into three main stages:

What happens to the soul

What happens to his soul after the death of a person can be suggested by those people who were brought back to life during a terminal state. Everyone who has experienced such an experience claims to have seen their body and everything that happened to it from the outside. They continued to feel, see and hear. Some even tried to contact their family or doctors, but were horrified to realize that no one was listening to them.

As a result, the soul was fully aware of what had happened. After that, she began to be pulled upward. Angels appeared to some of the dead, to others - beloved deceased relatives. In such company the soul rose to the light. Sometimes a spirit would go through a dark tunnel and emerge into the light all alone.

Many people who experienced similar experiences claimed that they felt very good, were not afraid, and did not want to return. Some were asked by an invisible voice if they wanted to return. Others were literally forcibly sent back, saying that the time had not yet come.

All those who returned talk about that they had no fear. In the first minutes, they simply did not understand what was happening. But then they became completely indifferent to earthly life and calmed down. Some people said that they continued to feel intense love for loved ones. However, even this feeling could not weaken the desire to go towards the light, from which warmth, kindness, compassion and love emanated.

Unfortunately, no one can tell in detail what happens next. There are no living eyewitnesses. All further journey of the soul occurs only under the condition of complete physical death of the body. And those who returned to this world did not stay in the afterlife long enough to find out what would happen next.

What world religions say

The main world religions answer in the affirmative about whether there is life after death. For them, death is just the death of the human body, but not the personality itself, which continues its further existence in the form of a spirit.

Different religious teachings their versions of where the soul goes after it leaves the earth:

The teachings of the philosopher Plato

Great ancient Greek philosopher Plato also thought a lot about the fate of the soul. He believed that the immortal spirit comes into the human body from the sacred upper world. And birth on earth is sleep and oblivion. Immortal Essence, enclosed in the body, forgets the truth, as it passes from deep, higher knowledge to the lower, and death is an awakening.

Plato argued that when separated from the body, the soul is able to reason more clearly. Her vision, hearing, and senses become sharper. A judge appears in front of the deceased, who shows him all the cases during his lifetime - both good and bad.

And Plato also warned that an accurate description of all the details of the other world is only a probability. Even a person who has experienced clinical death is unable to reliably describe everything that he managed to see. People are too limited by their physical experience. Our souls are unable to clearly see reality as long as they are connected to the physical senses.

A human language unable to formulate and correctly describe true realities. There are no words that could qualitatively and reliably designate otherworldly reality.

Understanding death in Christianity

In Christianity, it is believed that for 40 days after death, the soul remains where the person lived. This is why relatives may feel that someone invisible is present at home. It is very important, as far as possible, to pull yourself together, not to cry and not to grieve for the deceased. Say goodbye with humility. The spirit hears and feels everything, and such behavior of loved ones will cause him even more pain.

The best thing relatives can do is pray. And also read the Holy Scriptures, helping to understand what the soul should do next. It is important to remember that until the ninth day all mirrors in the house must be closed. Otherwise, the ghost will experience pain and shock when looking in the mirror and not seeing itself.

TO God's judgment the soul must be prepared for 40 days. Therefore, in Christianity the most important days after the death of a person are considered to be the third, ninth and fortieth day. These days, loved ones must do everything possible to help the soul prepare for a meeting with God.

Third day after leaving

The priests say that it is impossible to bury the deceased before the third day. The soul at this time still remains attached to the body and is located next to the coffin. At this time, you cannot break the connection between the spirit and its dead body. This process established by God is necessary for the soul to finally understand and accept its physical death.

On the third day the soul sees God for the first time. She ascends to his throne along with her guardian angel, after which she goes to see Paradise. But this is not forever. Then you have to see Hell. The trial will take place only on the 40th day. It is believed that any soul can be prayed for, which means that at this time loving relatives should pray intensely for the deceased.

What does the ninth day mean?

On the ninth day the soul again appears before the Lord. At this time, relatives can help the deceased with humble prayers. You only need to remember his good deeds.

After a second visit to the Almighty, the angels take the spirit of the deceased to hell. There he will have the opportunity to observe the torment of unrepentant sinners. It is believed that in special cases If the deceased led a righteous life and did many good deeds, his fate can be decided on the ninth day. Such a soul becomes a happy inhabitant of Paradise before the 40th day.

The decisive fortieth day

The fortieth day is very important date. At this time, the future fate of the deceased is decided. His soul comes to bow to the Creator for the third time, where the judgment takes place, and now the final decision will follow as to where the spirit will be destined - to Heaven or Hell.

On day 40, the soul descends to earth for the last time. She can go around all the places that are most dear to her. Many people who have lost loved ones see the dead in their dreams. But it is after 40 days that they stop physically feeling their presence nearby.

There are people who are interested in what happens in cases where an unbaptized person dies. There is no funeral service. Such a person is outside the jurisdiction of the church. His future fate is only in the hands of God. Therefore, on the anniversary of the death of an unbaptized relative, loved ones should pray for him as sincerely as possible and with the hope that this will ease his fate at trial.

Facts about the existence of the afterlife

Scientists have been able to prove the existence of the soul. To do this, doctors weighed terminally ill people at the time of death and immediately after it. It turned out that all the deceased at the time of death lost the same weight - 21 grams.

Opponents of this scientific theory of the existence of the soul tried to explain the change in the weight of the deceased by certain oxidative processes. But modern research They have proven with a 100% guarantee that chemistry has nothing to do with it. And the weight loss of all the deceased is strikingly the same. Only 21 grams.

Evidence of the materiality of the spirit

Many scientists are looking for an answer to the question of whether there is life after death. Testimonies of people who experienced clinical death claim that there is. But pundits are not accustomed to taking their word for it. They need material evidence.

One of the first to try to photograph human soul, became the French doctor Hippolyte Baraduc. He photographed patients at the moment of death. In most photographs, a small translucent cloud was clearly visible above the bodies.

Russian doctors used infrared vision devices for similar purposes. They recorded something that looked like a foggy object that gradually dissolved into thin air.

Professor Pavel Guskov from Barnaul proved that each person’s soul is individual, like fingerprints. For this he used ordinary water. Purified from any impurities pure water placed next to the person for 10 minutes. After this, its structure was carefully studied. The water changed significantly and was different in all cases. If the experiment was repeated with the same person, the structure of the water remained the same.

There is life after death or not, but from all the assurances, descriptions and discoveries one thing follows: no matter what is there, beyond, there is no need to be afraid of it.

What happens after death

What will happen after death?

According to eyewitness reports, the first thing is that the spirit leaves the body and lives completely separate from it. As a rule, he observes everything that happens, including those that belonged to him during his lifetime physical body, and through the efforts of doctors to revive him; he feels that he is in a position of painless warmth and airiness, as if he were floating; he is completely unable to influence his surroundings by speech or touch, and this makes him feel enormous loneliness; his thought processes traditionally become much faster than when he was in the body. Here are some of short stories about this kind of experience:

“The day was very cold, but while I was in this blackness, I felt only warmth and the utmost calm that I had ever experienced ... I remember thinking: “I must be dead.”

“I had amazing feelings. I felt nothing but peace, calm, airiness—just calm.”

“I watched as they tried to revive me, it was really unusual. I was not very high, as if on some kind of eminence, a little higher than them; just might have been looking down on them. I tried to talk to them, but none of them heard me.”

“There were people coming from all directions toward the scene of the car accident... When they got really close, I tried to duck to get out of their way, but they just walked right through me.”

“I couldn’t touch anything, I couldn’t talk to anyone around me. This is a terrible feeling of loneliness, a feeling of complete isolation. I knew that I was completely alone, alone with myself.”

There is amazing objective evidence that a person is actually outside the body at this moment - sometimes people retell conversations or report exact details of events that took place even in neighboring rooms or even further away while they were dead.

Dr. Kübler-Ross talks about one amazing case when a blind woman saw and then clearly conveyed everything that happened in the room where she “died”, although when she was brought back to life, she was again blind - this convincing proof that it is not the eye that sees (and not the brain that thinks, because after death mental abilities increase), but rather the soul, and while the body is alive, it performs these actions through physiological organs.

There are many examples of this kind.

Andrey M. from Arkhangelsk recalled the car accident he got into in 2007. After the jeep rushed into the oncoming lane and ended up in front of his car, Andrei first felt a powerful blow, and then a sharp, but short-lived pain. And suddenly, to his amazement, he saw his own body, surrounded by a group of doctors who were trying to resuscitate him. Very soon Andrei felt himself begin to be carried away somewhere upward, while he seemed unusually free and calm. He soon realized that he was drawn to a milky-white light that burned somewhere ahead.

He ran quite a long distance until he realized that some force was trying to bring him back. The realization of this at first was disappointing. young man, because he knew that freedom awaited him ahead: from vanity and excitement. And a moment later, Andrei discovered that his motionless body was quickly moving towards him. Here it was, as if in a vice, squeezing him from all sides, powerful pain penetrated every cell of him, and in the next second Andrei opened his eyes.

Dear ones, evil spirits and planes of existence

First of all, if the spirit consists of psychic energy - to put it another way, if the spirit and the mind are a single whole - then it turns out that we classify as spirits what is actually considered part of the physical world. This is material matter, no matter how imperceptible it may seem, because energy in any form combines part of the physiological universe. We are not able to see the hydrogen atom, but despite this, it is a physical quantity. We know his real weight.

It is obvious that the material world is considered one of the especially dense worlds on the lower planes of existence and in its own impenetrability is much greater. If cultural spirits have every chance of descending to the lower levels of existence, they are absolutely fit to be in the physical world. The astral bodies of the deceased can remain on the earthly plane only for a short period of time, and the spirit has the opportunity to descend to a lower tier and remain for some time, if it so wishes. This means that after the disintegration of the astral body, the immortal spirit, which is the seat of consciousness, is able to return to Earth if desired.

If this is so, then what can prevent you from being in the material world again to cause pain to people? On the other hand, apparently, they also have every chance of returning to Earth to help their loved ones and all of humanity in overcoming difficulties and becoming a human being. These stunning predictions are based on the stories of people who had the experience of communicating with both evil and good spirit spirits.

If the spirit living in the Astral World can establish contact with our physical world, then it has the ability to influence our thoughts and actions. And such an impact can be both positive and negative, depending on the level of formation of a particular spirit. For this reason, many of the church and mystical schools teach that when we make a significant decision, we need to make sure that it is only our decision that coincides with our personal beliefs. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid impulsive actions that may be dictated by opposition.

So, based on the studied academic evidence and paranormal phenomena, we can draw the following conclusions.

It is possible that a person's instincts and emotions that make up his astral body continue to exist for some time along with memories and basic personality traits. Over time, this astral body gradually collapses. Meanwhile, the conscious personality, or ego, called spirit, rests for some time in the Astral world, and then moves on to the corresponding mental or, depending on the level of its development.

There the spirit lives, works, sometimes creating works of art similar to those that it created during its life in the physical world. Sometimes these works manifest themselves in the physical world thanks to the people who become objects direct impact from the spirit side.

In the astral world, life seems as real as on the earthly plane, because every physical or spiritual being identifies itself with the plane on which it lives. Because the matter of each plane matches the vibrations of the beings on it, they perceive this plane as the true reality.

The mysterious and incomprehensible astral world reveals itself to us in all its splendor in dreams. That is why the phantasmagoric world of dreams seems so real when we sleep. We simply travel with the help of our subtle body in the astral world, where our spirit belongs. In a state of sleep, we move between the subplanes of the astral world, experiencing joyful or frightening experiences. They only help us understand that we are asleep and are capable of modifying the circumstances or events of the astral world at will.

According to the ancient teachings, the life of the spirit in the astral world is the real life, while life on the physical plane is only a theater, a training, a temporary state, a kind of journey on which the spirit goes for a certain period of time, at the end of which it returns to its home, to the astral world.

Meetings on the other side

Those who have visited another world often say that they met there with deceased relatives, acquaintances and friends. As a rule, people see those with whom they were close in earthly life or were related.

Such visions cannot be considered a law; rather, they are deviations from it, which do not occur very often. Typically, this kind of meeting acts as an edification for those who are too early to die and who need to return to earth and change their own lives.

Sometimes people see what they would like to see. Christians observe angels, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, saints. Non-religious people see certain temples, people in white, and sometimes they don’t notice anything, but they feel a “presence”.

According to the stories of some people, during their near-death experiences they passed through a dark tunnel, at the end of which they met an angel or Christ himself. In other cases, deceased friends and relatives would meet them to accompany them to the spirit's new location. This habitat is located in the astral world, woven from electromagnetic vibrations of different densities and sizes. After death, each spirit is at a certain energy level of existence, which coincides with the level of its development and vibrations. After death, the soul remains in its original state of loneliness for a very short time.

Raymond Moody, the author of a widely known book called “Life After Life,” cites several facts when, even before death, people unexpectedly saw deceased relatives and friends. Here are some excerpts from his book.

“The doctor told my family that I had died... I realized that all these people were there, there were many of them, they were hovering under the ceiling of the room. These are people I knew in earthly life, but they died earlier. I saw my grandmother and the girl I knew as a student, and many other relatives and friends... It was a very joyful phenomenon, and I felt that they had come to protect and see me off.”

This experience of meeting deceased friends and relatives at the onset of clinical death is not considered an unprecedented discovery today. Almost a century ago he became the subject of a small dissertation by a pioneer of modern parapsychology and psychological research, Sir William Barrett (Deathbed Visions).

Dr. Moody gives an example of a meeting of a dying person not with relatives or an exalted being, but with a completely stranger: “One lady told me that during her exit from the body she observed not only her own pure spiritual body, but also the body of another person who had died completely shortly. She didn't know who it was." (“Life after life”).

As we delve deeper into this study of the experience of the lost and of death itself, we are obliged to remember the considerable difference between the universal experience of the lost, something that now attracts such great attention. This can help us better understand the many mysterious aspects of death that are monitored in real time and depicted in literature. Awareness of this difference, for example, can help us identify the phenomena that those who are dying observe. Do relatives and friends really come from the kingdom of the dead to visit the dying? And are these actions themselves different from recent phenomena holy righteous people?

To answer these questions, let us remember that Doctors Osis and Haraldson report that many dying Hindus observe the gods of the close Hindu pantheon (Krishna, Shiva, Kali, etc.), and not close relatives and friends, as is usually the case.

They believe that the assimilation of the beings encountered is largely considered the result of personal interpretation based on ecclesiastical, civilized and private premises; this opinion seems reasonable and suitable to the bulk of cases.

Having outlined the Orthodox teaching, based on the Holy Scriptures, that “the souls of the dead are in a place where they do not see what is happening and what happens in this mortal life,” and his own opinion that cases of apparent appearances of the dead by the living, as a rule, turn out to be or “the work of Angels”, or “evil visions” induced by demons, for example, with the aim of creating in people misrepresentation about the afterlife, St. Augustine proceeds to distinguish between the apparent appearances of the dead and the true appearances of the saints.

Indeed, let's take one example. The holy fathers of the recent past, such as Elder Ambrose of Optina, teach that the creatures with whom they communicate are demons, and not the souls of the dead; and those who deeply studied spiritualistic phenomena, if they had at least some Christian standards for their judgments, came to the same conclusions.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the saints are actually righteous at the time of death, as is described in many lives. Ordinary sinners often experience apparitions of relatives, friends, or “gods,” according to what the dying expect or are ready to see.

The exact nature of these latter phenomena is difficult to determine; this is, without a doubt, not a hallucination, but part of the natural experience of death, as if a sign to the dying person that he is on the threshold of a new kingdom where the laws of ordinary physical reality are no longer valid. There is nothing extraordinary in this state; it is apparently unchanged for different times, places, and religions. “Meeting others” usually occurs just before death.”

According to Christian beliefs, after death a person continues to live, but in a different capacity. His spirit, having left the physical shell, begins its path to God. What is ordeal, where does the soul go after death, should it fly away and what happens to it after separation from the body? After death, the spirit of the deceased is tested by trials. IN Christian culture they are called "ordeal". There are twenty of them in total, each more complex than the previous one, depending on the sins committed by a person during his lifetime. After this, the spirit of the deceased goes to Heaven or is cast into the Underworld.

Is there life after death

Two topics that will always be discussed are life and death. Since the creation of the world, philosophers, literary figures, doctors, and prophets have been arguing about what happens to the soul when it leaves the human body. What happens after death and is there life at all after the spirit leaves the physical shell? It just so happens that a person will always think about these burning topics in order to know the truth - turn to the Christian religion or other teachings.

What happens to a person when he dies

Having passed your life path, the person dies. From the physiological side, this is the process of stopping all systems and processes of the body: brain activity, breathing, digestion. Proteins and other substrates of life decompose. Approaching death also affects a person's emotional state. There is a change in the emotional background: loss of interest in everything, isolation, isolation from contacts with the outside world, conversations about imminent death, hallucinations (past and present are mixed).

What happens to the soul after death

The question of where the soul goes after death is always interpreted differently. However, the clergy are unanimous in one thing: after a complete cardiac arrest, a person continues to live in a new status. Christians believe that the spirit of the departed, who lived a righteous life, is transferred by angels to Paradise, while the sinner is destined to go to Hell. The deceased needs prayers that will save him from eternal torment, help the spirit pass tests and get to Paradise. The prayers of loved ones, not tears, can work miracles.

Christian doctrine says that a person will live forever. Where does the soul go after a person dies? His spirit goes to the kingdom of heaven to meet the Father. This path is very difficult and depends on how a person lived his worldly life. Many clergy perceive their departure not as a tragedy, but as a long-awaited meeting with God.

Third day after death

For the first two days, the spirits of the dead fly around the earth. This is the period when they are close to their body, to their home, wander through places dear to them, say goodbye to their relatives, and end their earthly existence. Not only angels, but also demons are nearby at this time. They are trying to win her over to their side. On the third day, the ordeal of the soul begins after death. This is the time to worship the Lord. Relatives and friends should pray. Prayers are performed in honor of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On day 9

Where does a person go after death on the 9th day? After the 3rd day, the Angel accompanies the spirit to the gates of Paradise so that he can see all the beauty heavenly abode. Immortal souls stay there for six days. They temporarily forget the sadness of leaving their body. While enjoying the sight of beauty, the soul, if it has sins, must repent. If this does not happen, then she will be in hell. On the 9th day, the Angels again present the soul to the Lord.

At this time, the church and relatives perform a prayer service for the deceased with a request for mercy. Commemorations are held in honor of 9 angelic ranks, who are defenders during the Last Judgment and servants of the Almighty. For the deceased, the “burden” is no longer so heavy, but very important, because the Lord uses it to determine the future path of the spirit. Relatives remember only good things about the deceased and behave very calmly and quietly.

There are certain traditions that help the spirit of the departed. They symbolize eternal life. At this time, relatives:

1. They perform a prayer service in the church for the repose of the spirit.
2. At home they cook kutya from wheat seeds. It is mixed with sweets: honey or sugar. Seeds are reincarnation. Honey or sugar is sweet life in another world, helping to avoid a difficult afterlife fate.

On day 40

The number “40” can be found very often in the pages of the Holy Scriptures. Jesus Christ ascended to the Father on the fortieth day. For the Orthodox Church, this became the basis for organizing commemorations of the deceased on the fortieth day after death. Catholic Church does this on the thirtieth day. However, the meaning of all events is the same: the soul of the deceased ascended to the holy Mount Sinai and achieved bliss.

After the spirit is reintroduced before the Lord on the 9th day by the Angels, it goes to Hell, where it sees the souls of sinners. The spirit remains in the Underworld until the 40th day, and appears before God for the third time. This is the period when a person’s fate is determined by his earthly affairs. In posthumous fate, it is important that the soul repents of everything it has done and prepares for the future correct life. Remembrances atone for the sins of the deceased. For the subsequent resurrection of the dead, it is important how the spirit passes through purgatory.

Six months

Where does the soul go after death six months later? The Almighty has decided on the future fate of the spirit of the deceased person; it is no longer possible to change anything. You can't sob and cry. This will only harm the soul and cause severe torment. However, relatives can help and ease the fate with prayers and remembrances. It is necessary to pray, calming the soul, showing it Right way. Six months later, the spirit comes to her family for the penultimate time.

Anniversary

It is important to remember the anniversary of death. Prayers performed before this time helped determine where the soul would go after death. A year after death, relatives and friends perform a prayer service in the temple. You can simply remember the deceased from a heartfelt heart if it is not possible to attend church. On this day, souls come to their families for the last time to say goodbye, then a new body awaits them. For a believer, a righteous person, the anniversary gives a start to a new, eternal life. The annual circle is the liturgical cycle after which all holidays are permitted.

Where does the soul go after death?

There are several versions of where people live after death. Astrologers believe that the immortal soul ends up in space, where it settles on other planets. According to another version, it hovers in the upper atmosphere. The emotions that a spirit experiences influence whether it ends up on highest level(Heaven) or lower (Hell). In the Buddhist religion it is said that having found eternal peace, a person’s spirit moves into another body.

Mediums and psychics claim that the soul is connected with other world. It often happens that after death she remains close to loved ones. Spirits who have not finished their work appear in the form of ghosts, astral bodies, phantoms. Some protect their relatives, others want to punish their offenders. They contact the living through knocks, sounds, the movement of things, and the short-term appearance of themselves in visible form.

In the Vedas, scriptures Earth, it is said that after leaving the body, souls pass through tunnels. Many people who have experienced clinical death describe them as channels in their own body. There are 9 of them in total: ears, eyes, mouth, nostrils (separately left and right), anus, genitals, crown, navel. It was believed that if the spirit came out of the left nostril, it went to the moon, from the right - to the sun, through the navel - to other planets, through the mouth - to the earth, through the genitals - to the lower layers of existence.

Souls of dead people

As soon as the souls of deceased people leave their physical shells, they do not immediately understand that they are in a subtle body. At first, the spirit of the deceased floats in the air, and only when he sees his body does he realize that he has separated from it. The qualities of a deceased person during life determine his emotions after death. Thoughts and feelings, character traits do not change, but become open to the Almighty.

Soul of a child

It is believed that a child who dies before the age of 14 immediately goes to the First Heaven. The child has not yet reached the age of desires and is not responsible for actions. The child remembers his past incarnations. The First Heaven is the place where the soul awaits rebirth. A deceased child is awaited by a deceased relative or a person who loved children very much during his lifetime. He meets the child immediately after the hour of death and escorts him to the waiting place.

In the First Heaven, a child has everything he wants, his life resembles a beautiful game, he learns goodness, receives visual lessons on how evil deeds affect a person. All emotions and knowledge remain in the baby’s memory even after rebirth. People who live nobly in ordinary life are believed to owe these lessons learned and experiences in First Heaven.

Soul of a Suicidal Man

Any teaching and belief states that a person does not have the right to take his own life. The actions of any suicide are dictated by Satan. After death, the soul of a suicided person strives for Paradise, the gates of which are closed to it. The spirit is forced to return, but it cannot find its body. The ordeal lasts until the time of natural death. Then the Lord makes a decision according to his soul. Previously people Those who committed suicide were not buried in the cemetery; suicide items were destroyed.

Animal souls

The Bible says that everything has a soul, but “they are taken from dust and will return to dust.” Confessors sometimes agree that some pets are capable of transformation, but it is impossible to say exactly where the animal’s soul ends up after death. It is given and taken away by the Lord himself; the soul of an animal is not eternal. However, Jews believe that it is equal to human meat, so there are various prohibitions on eating meat.

Video

This is the first article of two. It is about what awaits us after death from the point of view of the Christian religion. The second article will be about the life of the soul according to Eastern religions and traditions.

What is death in Christianity?

There are two sides to this.

First.

We are mortal for perfection original sin. Death is his punishment. We already born in sin.

Second side.

Death is simply a continuation of the life of the soul, but without a body. By dying, we gain immortality, because the soul is eternal. Death is a cure, a cure for sin.

What follows from this? There is no death. This is just a separation of body and soul. There, beyond the threshold of death, the soul is alive, there the Lord is waiting for us. There is no death thanks to the atonement of sin by Jesus Christ for the entire human race.

What awaits us after death, beyond the threshold?

There are no clear answers. I think it is impossible to understand this with our standard ordinary thinking and judgment. Therefore, the information that exists exists in the form of metaphors and allegories, images, symbols, for understanding general essence of what awaits us there.

We want specifics. But faith is a matter of the soul. Specificity and clarity are the needs of the rational mind, brain, and body. Life after death is the life of the soul, not the body. And to describe the categories of spiritual concepts as material and familiar, I think, is not entirely correct.

Everything that is written must be passed through the filter of the soul.

The life of the soul after death is the Last Judgment.

Christianity speaks of the Last Judgment, when the Son of Man will come with His angels in the glory of His Father. And everyone will be rewarded according to their deeds.

For everyone, the Last Judgment will end differently. After it, you can go to hell, or you can, by the grace of the Lord, go to heaven.

Everyone will be judged, both dead and living. It is difficult to say exactly what form the Court will take. But everyone knows and understands what laws He will follow. By God's laws, according to His commandments.

The commandments of God are the main law of the human soul. If all people lived according to the commandments, then we would not need state laws - throughout the entire Earth.

Everyone will be judged according to his deeds, in relation to these deeds, according to repentance and contrition for sins. There will be no hypocrisy, masks and lies. There will only be naked a pure soul standing before God. And everything will be in full view. You can’t hide or hide anything.

At one o'clock Last Judgment a final decision will be made: either you stay with the Lord, or you leave Him forever. That's why he's Scary.

Hell is inside the human heart. And if there is hell in your heart, then you will go there after the Last Judgment. If all your life you have done evil that has become a part of you. Then you will receive it in eternal life. It will be your choice.

Who will pass the test By judgment - he will be resurrected into eternal life. This became possible thanks to the Great Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which He made for the benefit of all mankind.

“...suddenly, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed” (1 Cor 15:52).

It is God’s great mercy to resurrect a person after all his sins. The grace of resurrection cannot be described by any words or concepts. This is something to realize and imagine to an ordinary person It's simply impossible.

Life of the soul after death. Soul in Christianity

Immortality of the soul and resurrection- These are the main pillars of the Christian religion. A person lives by this and, thanks to the knowledge of this, overcomes the most difficult difficulties of life.

There is such an opinion, once upon a time, ancient Christian church even accepted the idea of ​​reincarnation. This, of course, was not the main idea, but they treated it calmly.

But since 553 it has been clearly and specifically established that there is no transmigration of souls, and anyone who disagrees with this is anathema.

After death, the soul retains all the feelings and thoughts that it had during life in the body. And these feelings are getting stronger and worse. Therefore, if a person lives a righteous life, in accordance with God’s commandments, then, upon leaving the body, the soul will be able to feel the presence of God and calm down.

If a person was very attached to the body, was overwhelmed by passions and desires, then they will remain with him and will torment him further, and it will no longer be possible to get rid of them. After all, the body will no longer be there. Next to such a soul there will be many demons and unclean spirits. They were with him during his life, they will remain with him after death.

It turns out that the soul in Christianity continues the life of the body. Therefore, it is very important to repent before death. This important point, last chance to get clean. At this moment you determine the main direction and life of the soul after death. Where will she go: to God - light, or to Satan - darkness.

Where did the soul go more during life? Who is closer to her? A serious test of temptation awaits us, a clash of good and evil.

Death in Christianity. First 2 days.

For the first 2 days after leaving the body, the soul is somewhere near the body, near those places that were dear to it during life, to which it was attached.

But it is also worth saying that holy people who lived only in soul without attachment to the body immediately go to heaven, bypassing all the trials that await the souls of ordinary people.

Of course, no one can say exactly what awaits us after death and what exactly the soul does there immediately after leaving the body. But it is believed that in the first 2 days it is relatively free and is located near the closest and dearest places or near the body.

Next to the soul are Angels, with whose permission it goes where it wants.

The third day. Ordeal.

Next, the soul must go through obstacles called “ordeals.” She encounters many demons and spirits who interfere with her, tempt her, and convict her of sin. It is believed that there are twenty such obstacles.

Idle talk and foul language, lies, condemnation and slander, gluttony and drunkenness, laziness, theft, love of money and stinginess, covetousness (bribery, flattery), untruth and vanity, envy, pride, anger, rancor, robbery, witchcraft (magic, occultism, spiritualism , fortune telling), fornication, adultery, sodomy, idolatry and heresy, unmercifulness, hard-heartedness.

Step by step the soul must pass the test of every sin. And to go further, tests must be passed. It's like exams, to put it simply.

Demons may not necessarily be terrible and frightening. They can appear in a variety of forms, perhaps even beautiful, to seduce the soul. And as soon as the soul is deceived and succumbs, demons carry it to where it belongs.

Again, remember that everything needs to be perceived figuratively without being tied to concepts. Everything is metaphorical and allegorical. "Trials", for example, admits Orthodox Church. The Catholic one talks about "purgatory", which differs from “ordeals.” The ordeal lasts one day, but purgatory cleanses the soul until it is ready to go to heaven. Only those souls who lived righteously, with sins, but without mortal sins, come to purgatory.

In Christianity, the soul undergoes tests after death. And it is important to remember and realize that it Only God determines fate, Creator of everything. But no way evil forces. It is important to live life with the Lord, for the Lord’s sake and in His name, and to go to another world without fear, knowing that fate is in the hands of God.

If the soul successfully passes the test of "ordeals", then it wanders around for another 37 days. heavenly kingdom- heaven and hellish abyss. But he learns his fate only on the fortieth day. Before that, she gets acquainted with the place where she will be.

Remaining days.

From the fourth to the ninth day—six days—the soul contemplates heaven. From the tenth day to the fortieth - forty days - she will experience the horrors of hell.

And on the last day the soul is again brought to the Lord, and a decision is made about its final place.

What awaits us after death? Heaven and Hell.

What is heaven and hell? It is probably impossible to answer this question. Whatever you expect from heaven, no matter what great place you did not imagine it, both in your mind and in your heart, it cannot be compared with what appears before you. It is impossible to describe it. It is also impossible to describe the beauty of God.

It's the same with hell. What the soul will experience there is beyond our understanding. The sufferings of hell are endlessly terrible. And there is no clear answer to the question of whether this suffering is eternal.

There are opinions that “yes” are eternal. But there is also the opposite view, that hell is final, and the soul, having paid its price, can leave it.

It's better not to know, of course.

But for this you need to live right life Christian.

Life of a Christian.

Life on Earth is preparation for eternal life. And how we live this life depends on what we receive in heaven.

The second coming of Christ can take place at any moment, and we must be prepared for it. And whatever the Lord finds us with, he will judge us with. Therefore, there is no way to delay the moment of coming to church. There is no way to live without God in the soul. There is no way to mindlessly waste your life and not think about anything. . No one knows the moment of his death.

But this must be understood correctly. Because many people understand it this way: if I can die tomorrow, then I must take everything from life. And you can smoke, and drink, and just have a blast. But if you are a Christian, you must understand that you you won't die, you'll just go to God. And most importantly, what kind of soul will come to him.

Therefore, one must live in such a way as to be ready to appear before the eyes of the Creator right now. This is impossible, of course, especially for an ordinary “civilized” person, but the desire for this should be maximum.

Great joy may await you in heaven. Prepare for this your whole life. Remember where you will end up after death. All in our hands.

You need to live according to your conscience, with thoughts of God, pray, go to church, take communion and follow the commandments of God, observe fasts, holidays, and resurrections. Everything must be accompanied by sincerity in prayers, repentance for sins, and humility. There should be no place for hypocrisy and vanity.

Live in love, become a conductor of the Lord's love!
