Bad news.  You will die (sort of). You can be certain of it.  However, what happens after you die, and does it even matter?

I think it does.  Allow me to explain why.

There are thousands, if not more, experiences from people who have physically died, and come back.  What I mean by this is that these people were clinically dead.  They were, by all accounts, dead.  No heartbeat, no breathing, no brain activity.   D. E. A. D.  Dead.

Now, it is a known fact that we do not fully understand consciousness from a scientific standpoint but I would suspect the most common scientific explanation would be that the brain triggers a number of chemicals (like DMT) that cause these out of body experiences.

But there seems to be much more to these experiences than that.  People report back details such as tools used during surgeries or even words spoken that indicate a presence when the brain is clinically dead.  Science says this is not possible.  But science is not always right.  Once, science said the earth was the centre of the universe.

Note everyone thinks this and obviously other views tell us this is it, and that’s it.  That is a very ‘hard’ way to look at it.  It is a tough guy’s point of view that says “This is it and that is all there is”.  Contrary to those things that we believe in wholeheartedly,  but never see ever (but in our own mind).

I understand this scientific point of view and the atheists point of view also.  Completely logical. But something about it bothers me.  It seems cold, hard and lacking in any kind of hope or faith. I have seen or experienced too many weird or odd coincidences in my own life to feel there is something more.  Do you have to see something to believe in it?  Of course not.  I suspect you believe in love but I suspect you have never actually seen it.

If you understand that your actions in this world potentially impact your next life or life in the hereafter you may behave very, very differently.  The clear example of this is the known aspect of karma (known colloquially as ‘what goes around comes around’).

This clear understanding has happened to millions of people around the world.

More than that, there are many reported experiences of children remembering past lives accurately describing aspects of those lives.  Does that mean we live after we die?  I honestly don’t know but I do believe there is something that connects everything and if we die our consciousness, logically has to go somewhere. (nonsense)

I think what I am trying to say is that your life matters.  It REALLY matters.  You, by virtue of being born, are interconnected with hundreds or even thousands of people.  Some of those people have had their lives changed by you.  Some of them have had it created by you.

What you do here really does matter and being here as you is an astronomical miracle.  We are all stardust and we should all shine.

I hope this site allows people to recognise that in some way we all did.  In our own individual way, and that each of us had a lesson to give that could help someone else.

Leave a legacy.  Use After I Am Gone and share you lessons in life with the rest of the world. We need it.

Much Love,

After I Am Gone
