Life After Death Part 1 - Serious Thread

[shazzz]

I have no idea

Perhaps I never got there or perhaps this is the only part of the past life I can remember...

Im not even sure if its a past life? just thrown another option into the thread

[Amaris]

As I read it, it seemed that hkev was asking if mediums do communicate with the dead then what are the descriptions of the afterlife from said dead people? I didn't think it was meant to offend but then I do like to see the good in people and I would never want to offend lowrider

[lowrider]

Really i didn't

Have the psychics who have talked to beings on the "other side" revealed to us what the after life is like ?

Small point,it is mediums not psychic but you either don't or can't be bothered to know the difference

All I can recall hearing is platitudes like:
"It's nice here, we're all very happy, your Uncle Ernie is with us."

Platitude,well first sorry if i tell anyone if their loved ones are fine.
Two,once again you seem to mix up a message from a reading and any serious investigation by mediums on what the other side maybe like.

So have the psychics revealed to us any facts of the afterlife ?

Once again psychics and what makes sceptics or anyone so important that mediums have to reveal anything.
Are we some font of knowledge waiting ready and primed to leap out and answer any general question anyone asks.
My point is that if anyone had posted saying something like,"i was reading this article on mediums and the afterlife and this point struck me as odd".
This at least shows the person was an interested enough to do some research and they bring a point to the board to discuss as a starting point,the debate may of course widen but it is a start.
Otherwise i could just post something along the lines of" The world Eh,its a bugger", debate.
A little general.

Perhaps we do have some memories!!!

I have the same recurring dream over and over again, and its all very weird. its set in Victorian times and there is an ols swimming pool involved, but ive been having this same dream as long as I can remember def from childhood

im the same, i always have had one about a light house, constantly since about the age of 10, but it has happened less as ive gotten older, is it a memory that is fading?? If there IS a heaven, i think it would change depending on the individual, everyone has their own idea what they would like it to be, so why cant it be just that?

Good answer Claire but it rather debunks the idea of an after world if each of us have a different idea of it. I would call that imagination

[shazzz]

Not really

Perhaps there is a different afterworld for each of us. perhaps we go on different leves of the afterworld...

Im confusing myself, ie if you are to beleive the thoery where you get reincarnated in life in order to reach the next level to get where you want to be in the afterlife

I hope you understand what I mean

[claire]

no it doesnt, because whos to say heaven cant be of your own making? different things make different people happy, for all we know heaven could be a state of mind, just a thought

[oh2bhappy]

My mum always hoped that death meant sleeping forever...

I know that I've had experiences (only 2 or 3 - and not for over 7 years now), that I can only put down to my mum - so maybe death wasn't quite what she hoped it was...

[claire]

i understand what you mean shazzz, IF heaven exists, then i hope its our own idea of heaven and not just all clouds and angels, my idea of heaven would be to be with people i love that i have lost, being happy together. No one else would want my ideal, so they would have their own. makes perfect sense to me

[Koolg]

Claire and Shazzz You may well both be right, but mediums such as DA, make it seem that as we pass over, we all go to this one place. Once we are there we can choose what we do, after we have had our "rest period".

But then no two mediums seem to agree what the "other side" is like.So it must just be their own Idea of "heaven". Makes your theories about right

[shazzz]

Cheers koolg

I just live in my own world and go along with my own little theories, ill find out one way or another if im right when I get there

[claire]

perfectly put shazzz

I do know there is a difference between psychics and mediums and I AM guilty of using one when I should use the other. Sorry.

I was not demanding that any psychic/medium bring forth information for my own satisfaction, I was just asking if they had done so ( I have read a lot about the subject over the years, but have not read everything, I'm sure there are many important facts I am still not aware of.)

I apologise for the use of the word PLATITUDES, although it does describe some of the messages given, it is not right to use it for all.

I want to expand my knowledge of the subject, I have visited libraries and searched the net, but I am also interested in peoples opinions and experiences, hence the thread.

And if you did start a thread on "The world Eh,its a bugger" I'm sure they'd be plenty of replies

[Kim]

hmmmm are we getting onto the many worlds theory, as everyone has there own idea of the afterlife?

I haven't given it a great deal of thought if I am honest! May be go somewhere, maybe we don't. I have read several times that there are different levels. Does that mean then that when you die and you go to "your level" that you might not neccesarily meet up with your loved ones?

[lowrider]

hkev
Fair enough,could be i picked up the tone of your post wrong.
If that was the case i am sorry.

[hkev]

OK, LR.
Sometimes I may try to be funny and fail,
sometimes I may come across as sarcastic,
but honestly, I'm not the type to take the p*ss !

Oooh before I say anything I just want to say this reply is not meant as argumentative Lowrider. But I just felt I had to say that I didn't think hkev meant it as a "well you should know you tell us" kind of thing But that if mediums are giving messages from loved ones as they say they are, then surely these loved ones would be giving at least an indication of the hereafter? And so what is that description?

<----- For lowrider

That is also part of my first post on this thread.
There is a world of difference between giving info to a loved one in a reading and some prat [Not h kev] posting on here without doing any work themselves or with the intention of taking the piss.
Also again some mediums claim to have visited the spirit world and looked at what and how it works there.
That is another matter again.
So you see there are major differences in the reason info is given or demanded.
Sorry but my brain just don't seem switched on this morning so i hope that makes sense.
