This life is very important.
It gives us a chance to learn our
Spiritual Truth. It gives us a chance
to work off Karma that we have accrued this lifetime,
and the Karma we brought from previous lifetimes.
The body will live and die, but the Soul
is eternal. So in Essence you are God living as you.
There is living proof of this within you. This truth can be
realized and experienced through deep Meditation.
Going within, past the incessant thoughts, past the Ego,
Awakening the Self in the stillness that is full of light.
Deep meditation with concentrated focus within the
Ajna Chakra (The Third eye) will open the door
to the oneness of Being.
Your question about the afterlife...When we leave our body we
travel to where our Karma takes us. There are many levels of consciousness.
One of my teachers, Swami Muktananda, wrote a book entitled
"Play of Consciousness" in which He describes a trip in a Golden Chariot
that appeared while he was in Deep meditation. He saw many worlds
of different levels of Karma. One was a world full of Cow Dung
in which all of the people were naked and sitting on piles of Dung.
Yuck...maybe some heavy Karma? There were many beautiful and lush
worlds as well...
Anyway,. ...So... we work out some Karma
in the afterlife, learn some things, Then who we are at that point
with our Karma and how much we have progressed along the path...
Our circumstances will dictate where we take another body
to continue our work on the path to enlightenment.

I think we are reborn over and over again, as humans or animals or as hungry ghosts or hell-beings. Very few of us get into heaven, and that isn't forever. The reason why there were so many of us boomers is because we are the people who died in WWII. I was a soldier and I remember dying.

I look at it that we each are here which is a miracle to begin with. Yet we all know our present lives don't really last that long. No one has come back from the dead and told us what its like after death. So either we dwell on death or just accept it and hope that after death we are reunited with our deceased families or have a deep eternal rest. Both sound fine to me. But this meme really explains it all for me.

What about beforelife? My thoughts are always open to change as life evolves me and teaches me more. But presently, I believe beforelife and afterlife are one in the same.

I always find it interesting when I hear the the topic of eternal life... as though it's something that begins when our human life ends. Because with eternal, there is no after. Eternal has no beginning or end... it always was and is.

I believe our soul, our spirit, our energy is our true self. An existence that is experiencing this flesh. Evolving and growing itself through this experience. We all come from the same existence, some closer than others, and there we will all find ourselves again. Actually, I believe we are there now... but we are experiencincing it through our human selves.

Like I said, I'm open to broadening my perspective on this🤭... but presently, this is what I believe.

If life is se01 then afterlife would be Se02

You don't know if there would be an afterlife for you or not?, how it would be?, which things you will have and which not?

What you have in your hand is your present life and the present time. Take the best use of it. Even if there is afterlife, it's always good to live with focus on your current life ad live the best possible way.

The afterlife better be better then this 😳

It’s been one hell of a test

If you can’t remember your existence before birth, it’s irrational to expect that you will exist after death. So placing the center of your life in an imagined afterlife is basically placing it nowhere.

I'm to the point I don't care about either fucking one

To make this life as similar as possible to the spiritual one.

We will only know when we die.

There had better be an afterlife and it had better be good, considering how difficult life can be.
