Is there any proof of an afterlife?

Question

And I'm not talking about that Christian propaganda.

I feel so much sadder every day. I am convinced more and more every day that thee is no life after death.

Answer 1

While proof of an afterlife can be debated endlessly, there is a way to prove there's more-to-life than generally experienced ! Anyone can prove for themselves that what's commonly called, "life" is but a shadow of the real thing and then step into that realness. Almost everyone's interacting with what's outside of themselves through this 2-way filter that limits our actions and mutes life's pleasure. All that's needed to change that is an internal software upgrade that opens the senses and reveals what's hidden in reality. There are details and explanations in the sources listed below...

Answer 2

Youtube near death experience, all sorts of people of different faiths and background report essentially the same thing. The form it take differs from person to person, but they all say that the "other world" is more real than this one, and are reluctant to come back. Even atheist who have had a NDE report that life continues on after death.

Answer 3

Yes,

there is much proof and below is just

one of many books about the findings of Scientific experiments

which have proved such:

Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death

Answer 4

I'm afraid that you will, finally, have to accept that this is not something which can be known in advance. You will have to enter death, meaning you will have to die to "know" this. As you can see, even the term "knowing" loses its meaning when we talk of this state, because when you die, all cognitive functions of the brain, on which all knowledge is based, also come to an end.

There are many stories of people who have come back to report about their "experiences of death", but the only conclusion about this so-called "evidence" is that these people were nor really dead - if you've really died, you have also reached the point of no return.

Answer 5

There is evidence and there are paradigms that people are wedded to. Most people are wedded or should I say, "welded" to their paradigms and unable to keep their minds open to anything inconsistent with them. Evidence which is inconsistent to the paradigm that holds bodily death is the end includes:



> veridical out of body experiences where people have been clinically dead.



> death bed visions where the dying person sees someone known to them and their circle where none of them knew that person seen died. Sometimes it is discovered that the person died within minutes of the dying person.



> Young children under the age of 5 who have given detailed accounts of past lives that no one in their family knew of but researchers have established.



This evidence has been variously attacked as anecdotes, hallucinations, lies and dumb ridicule. But if you read some of the cases and see who is giving the evidence or is corroborating the evidence then these off-the-cuff dismissals seem to fall flat and keep the mind open and searching.



Here is an account by a renowned cardiac surgeon about some strange things he has come across in the operating room which he can't account for. Ask yourself, is he is lying, hallucinating,got something to gain, or mental etc.

Answer 6

just make the most of this life , enjoy everything you touch hear and see , in the morning think of each day as another to enjoy,

make sure you find something funny as often as you can and it will brighten your day,

if there is a life after death then it will just be a bonus

Answer 7

There's a difference between proof and evidence.



There is certainly no proof, but there is some 'evidence'.



The evidence comes from near death experiences, religious books and instances where reincarnation seems to have occurred.



Of course, all this evidence is highly questionable and I would tend to agree with you: there is no afterlife.



Also, people have been revived after being technically dead even for a couple of hours. You could call that an afterlife (or afterdeath). http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22154552

Answer 8

NO there is no proof of afterlife because if you go to your bible and read Ecclesiastes 9:5 it says the living are conscious that they will die but as for the dead they are conscious of nothing at all. And drop down to verse 6 and it says Also their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished. So what those scriptures mean is that once your dead you feel nothing because you no longer exist. You don't burn in hellfire, you don't pass on to an afterlife or whatever else lie they're telling you but instead your just dead. And that right there tells you things such as ghost and zombies and the spirit of dead relatives can't come back to kill or haunt you because the dead is just that dead. But there is a chance for the dead to live again. True we don't go to an afterlife but instead we are resurrected by the True God back to a paradise earth which will be under the rule of God and Jesus. But you know what if you want to know more I highly suggest going to this site Jw.Org there is no reason to fear that their won't be a life after death because the bible assures us that those who did God's will and have died will be resurrected. Please go to that site and there you can type in any question you may have and find the right answers like so many like you have.

Answer 9

No



At most there is hypnotism,schizophrenia, and anecdotes which just sound like what happens when your brain chemistry gets screwed up as it is starved of oxygen.



Oh and it is pretty much accepted that hypnotic recovered memories is straight out bunk.



Refusing to accept that you're mortal isn't the same as proof. It's just mental illness.

Answer 10

Why be sad? Mortals who live 80 years or so cannot imagine how ghastly it would become with the unimaginable boredom immortality. No matter how great heaven could be eventually you'll beg for it to stop. Isn't it enough to have lived at all? Why not cherish that? You didn't have to exist did you?

Answer 11

simply put



no



otherwise the whole world would know and people would do a lot more research on it to find out more about it



and for you it would have no point

because just like in this life-you just be sad in the afterlife for not having a life after that

so please

appreciate your life-countless others have lost theirs

Answer 12

I have experienced proof of this. I would have been dead already if it wasn't for this little girl. No word of a lie i seen this girl in a white night gown. She had strawberry blonde hair and very definate but strong facial features. I had just gotten off work and dropped a friend off at home. On my way out of my friend's driveway a little girl appeared and looked worried. I thought it was just my mind playin tricks so i started to move an pull out on the highway like normal. Well the girl then appeared in front of my car. So i stopped and the girl was gone. So i opened a windoe to get some air and proceeded to continue on to the highway home. But just as i started again the girl appeared and put her hands on the car and was pretty much like NO!. So as i continued i pulled on the oppisitw side of the road and as i did a truck came flyin by and ended up in the ditch where i was. So i got out only to find hand prints on my hood where the girl had touched. The girl i saw was my dead aunt.

Answer 13

It makes no functional difference to living whether consciousness continues. You have to live with you while you're here. If there is no afterlife, you will be in an eternal dreamless timeless sleep. If there is an afterlife, you'll find out what that means when you get there. Meanwhile, dwelling on campfire stories about unverifiable what-ifs, serves the same purpose as "If you had three wishes...." I thoroughly enjoy stretching my imagination, but I prefer to stress about the things I can knowingly control.

Answer 14

Its a nice comforting thought to think there is an afterlife, maybe that's why a lot of people believe it. Does it make them feel good to know that death is not the end? You shouldnt feel sad for living your life, enjoy it. No one can prove or disprove an afterlife, either you have faith or you live without faith in your life.

Answer 15

That kind of goes without saying; judging by the terms, 'life' and 'death'. I don't like to look at it in primitive, absolute, and archaic terms. I think that there are many levels of existence and non-existence where energies and other forces come together and creates harmonies or other realities. IDK...that's why I'm human. We see reality in such a limited spectrum that I can't(or Godel, for that matter) possibly believe that I see all there is to see...or experience all there is to experience. That's absurd; and people who continue their pitiful existence believing in a fairy tale are surely damned by it IMHO. I think our forms and 'souls', if you will, get 'repurposed' and reinvented; reintegrated in some fashion. Believe what you want. But proof? No. We simply lack the ability to determine that with our simple, myopic, human abilities.

Answer 16

Not if you believe in the illusion of self. Your energy/matter will never die but it will change forms billions of times. Your human "suit" will slowly decay and cease all functionality but every thing it consists of will be recycled. If you think part of our minds live on in another realm, well who knows. Maybe. I believe our subconscious mind is a shared mind, connected with the entire universe and that it is immortal. I don't think it leaves this realm though.

Answer 17

You are right. There is no life after death. Evangelists have invented this concept to scare you into believing in religion so that you attend church regularly, listen to their Bu**Sh** and they get donations. This applies not only to christianity but to all relgions.

Answer 18

None. Yet, the wishful thinkers still glom on to that lame notion. If there was actually any proof, this would be a much different world.

Answer 19

I hope not



Im in awful trouble otherwise

Answer 20

You may be right in the sense that there does seem to be no repeat of 'life' as we understand it in the physical sense...... but then I find it difficult to accept that the 'me' in myself can get totally erased into nothingness when even matter is known to be indestructible and continuing to exist in one form or another even when apparently destroyed...... in that sense our existence ought to continue some way even after our earthly demise..... in the absence of any proof, I presume that the existence after this life may well be in another dimension other than the 4-dimensional time-space that we presently occupy.

Answer 21

Some people who were temporarily dead before being revived have reported experiencing afterlife-y things, but no, there's no proof.
