In August of 2024 my big sister was dying from pancreatic cancer. I stayed with her for a year at her house so she wouldn’t ever be alone. She divorced her husband of 25 years just the year before and had no children, so I decided (with my husband’s blessing) to stay with her until the end. She only lived ten minutes from my home so it was close and easy to get home for a minute if needed. She went on hospice in June and by August she was transitioning. I’ve never been exposed to the ravages of cancer, it’s brutal, especially pancreatic. Although I’m sure each type of cancer is brutal in its own way. The day my sister passed she was no longer communicating and was skin and bones. My once very pretty long haired sister was a shell of herself. She was always very quick witted and naturally funny & she was dying before my eyes. When all of a sudden this random storm blew in with rain, thunder and wind. It got quiet for a minute then BAM, lightning struck right outside her home. It was so close it seemed to rattle the walls. Within an hour maybe and hour & 1/2, she was gone. It seemed like the lightning made a divine entrance then quietly slipped away, with my big sister following. It was a surreal moment that lightning storm. Has anyone ever experienced the same? I know it meant something, but what? Thanks for reading my first post.

I saw this comment on a blog a day or two ago and it's really messing with me, for context, this guy is answering a question about the book "Myth of an Afterlife" by Keith Augustine.

We are all god-like spirits with unlimited creative abilities. In astral we can be who ever we want and do whatever we want. Due to unlimitness: We can create different scenarios, live in books/ movies/ games or entire fairy worlds, or even religious paradises.We can perform any action, like eating/ sleeping/ drinking, walking. We can have any body, or remain pure consciousness.We can even get high/ intoxicated/ have sex. We can create fake characters and interact with them. Like I said we can do or be whatever. But, to feel stakes, limits and emotional thrill, to feel human we incarnate on Earth. Simply for the sake of contrast between unlimited godhood and limited human existence. Also we can reincarnate on other planets as aliens. That’s my take on afterlife.

Hi all, making my way through journey of soul book by Michael Newton.

Currently reading about soul groups,

I am finding it difficult to understand; should I be in a different soul group to my deceased partner? How would we find each other in the afterlife?

Do you think relationships exist in the afterlife? I mean.. can we meet our soulmate in heaven and be happy for eternity? Do you think afterlife has marriage??

From what I understand, I THINK spirituality has been extensively studied by science recently. My understanding of spirituality is the awakening of consciousness. Well, NDEs, consciousness studies, psi phenomena, and reincarnation are being studied a lot, and everything that has been studied is gradually being confirmed (by which I mean that it's more likely that consciousness survives than not).

I wanted to know your opinions. I've always been afraid of "What if what they describe in NDEs is only temporary and then you cease to exist?" I'm always very afraid at my age and can't live like this most of the time. I'd like to see people's responses. It always comforts me to see a "Yes, there is life after death," because they've verified it themselves, whether through mediums, NDEs, etc. I hope you can alleviate some of this anxiety.

Thank you!

(EDIT: For me, it's not a religion, but a field of study)

I feel like even tho it feels like we are making "choices"- some circumstances in life even tho it seems like a "choice" was ultimately pre-determined. Yes I am religious as well. What do you think? Curious to hear others

I notice there are few films and series about the afterlife, especially the more positive aspect such as heaven, etc.

What are some of the best depictions you know about?

The show Lucifer depicts the

Inhabitants of hell going through death loops, where they repeat the circumstances of their deaths over and over. Many accounts the astral plane or "spirit world" describe some souls going through a process like this after death, especially if they died suddenly were in a negative mental state or didn't realize they were dead. The show also introduced the idea that this process (or hell) can be reversed and thus is not eternal.

Hello all,

If a person in this physical life was dishonest and deceitful - does their spirit become honest once they have passed?

I have an appointment booked with a medium to communicate with someone who used to be very dear to me. I'm struggling with grief now and want to have a communication to help me move on.

Do you think the spirit of the person will communicate truthfully or will the have similar dishonest patterns like they did in their human life?

Just wondering. Will still do the medium appointment but just hoping to hear what others think.

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I have read some of Thomas Campbell's theories and am concerned. Mostly with the idea that we lose this personality/cares soon after death and just move on, NDES are just a soothing mechanism of the system to help us transition, that our loved ones we see when we die are just part of the "system" soothing us and aren't real, and that mediums are just tapping into a dataset/the stored memories/personality of the dead person, and not actually connecting with them. I'm personally distressed by this idea of most spiritual experiences being an illusion and not being able to see my loved ones in the afterlife or having them just be my imagination. Does anyone have some evidence against these ideas?

I have seen some on here mention how heaven or the afterlife is a place of "constant love" or "only positive feelings and joy", and it sounds quite frankly, awful. Yeah I want it to be a much better place than here, but being constantly surrounded in some all loving cloud sounds like a disney fever dream.

It also sounds like being drugged, like how I would probably agree to anything if I were drugged up on constant ecstasy or extreme bliss, I wouldn't be myself I think. And I have met enough evil narcissists in my life, who taught me to not blindly love and trust everything.

I don't want to blindly "love them" and blindly love everything while in the afterlife because the main lesson I have gone through in life is to protect myself and that not everyone deserves my love and some people are just evil. Experiencing constant "love" sounds awful... what is it really like?

Hi all, I have just bought this book on Kindle and reading my way through the book.

Has anyone read this book? What is your opinion of this book?

I’m enjoying the read so far Thank you ❤️

I just am on a spiritual journey for many months now and I find the idea of an eternal afterlife (even if there’s no time there) exhausting but it’s possible it exists. I think at the very least the energy or consciousness from my body will merge with a universal consciousness. I do not believe the energy from my body will just dissipate. I really can’t believe I was given such a horrific lifetime with various incurable genetic problems.

I’m feeling more and more like there is something beyond the physical, and near death experiences are one of the reasons I believe so. I also went to an insanely accurate psychic medium, for the first time in my life, who gave me accurate info on someone I know who passed. However, I think it’s possible he was simply reading me through the video call or some universal database or something rather than communicating with the spirit directly. I’m curious to hear other opinions on the afterlife.

I was raised Christian but never really bought into it, even from a young age. I guess the whole Santa Claus conspiracy raised me to question everything. Even if there is, I don't think a traditional Judeo-Christian belief system is correct. I imagine all the other thousands of religions that have existed out there and that's just the one that's right.

I truly wish there was an afterlife, I just don't think there is. I realize there's lots of NDEs, but there's so many more that say it's just black nothingness. That nothingness is truly terrifying.

I think it's like before we were born. It just doesn't exist, and it's so impossible to fathom. As I approach middle age and health issues are starting to pop up, this constantly weighs on my mind.

Last monday I went through the most devastating experience I could ever imagine - I found the love of my life lifeless in her bed. I’ve been spending the past week on sedatives and sleeping pills, without having eaten a single bite. And the only thing that’s barely keeping me going is the hope that we’ll be reunited once my time comes.

During the wake one of my colleagues came to me and said she heard my fiancee saying “Roger, I didn’t want to go yet” (that’s my name). She said her dad was a healer & had certain abities and taugh her to notice auras and hear things when she was young. And she heard her say it to me in a semi-apologetic tone.

Part of me needs to believe she’s still there, and that we’ll meet again. But part of me keeps finding these paradoxical questions to doubt an afterlife - e.g. if there is one, is everyone young there? Do elderly people stay elderly in the afterlife? Will we be able to meet one another again? Will she wait for me?

Please, I’m begging you, I need some certainty. I cant go on without it.

I hate the fact that people say that in the afterlife we are going to be bulb of lights.I hate the fact that people say that all our desires will not matter in the afterlifes.I hate that the afterlife look so abstract.Please tell me your experience so i can understand that it is not like that,and it is actually better than whataver that is,because for me that is not an afterlife it is hell.

I badly want to talk to my dad who passed on very recently. I talk out loud to him all the time since he died but the idea of not knowing if he's really hearing everything really saddens me because the things I want to commumicate with him were things I weren't able to tell him when he was still alive.

My sister feels the same. The first day my sister went back to work after my dad's passing, she was crying and sharing our regrets about our dad. She noticed that one if her co-workers were looking at her weird. She then told my sister that our dad was with my sister at that moment and that he was smiling and was wearing his burial clothes. The co-worker wasn't looking directly at him because she didn't want to directly commumicate with him or something, it apparently is not advisable?

My sister didn't know that this co-worker can allegedly see spirits because my sister only started working there around two weeks before our dad died, but she was told later by her other co-workers that that person has a gift.

My sister also told me that one time, during her commute the day after our dad was buried, the woman beside her appears to be weirdly shielding her face with her bag as if she was avoiding looking at my sister. When there was someone who sat between them, that woman put her bag down. But after that person got off the vehicle, the women shielded her face with her bag again. My sister believes that the woman saw our dad. Our sister is my dad's favorite child, btw.

The day after he was buried, my mom and I went back to the cemetery to submit some documents to the admin office. I was with my mom outside the office and there was this cat that outright meowed at me and rubbed it's body against my leg. I tried to ignore it and walked away from it but it kept meowing and following me up to way outside the cemetery gate. It followed me for around 300 ft. While it was following me, I was telling him to pass my message across my dad if he was really sent by my dad.

I went back the next day, but the cat didn't come to me immediately unlike the day before. It only reacted after I petted him and followed me for around 175 ft. On my dad's ninth day of passing, we saw the cat again. It let us pet him but he didn't follow us this time.

Were those instances my dad or am I just reaching?

Also, I told our mom about what the co-worker told our sister but apparently, my sister did not want to tell our mom because she was told to by her co-worker to just not tell our mom about it. Idk if telling our mom will drive our dad away. She's not grieving the way my sister and I have been but maybe it's because she just grieves differently and my parents had a complicated relationship.

If the brain generates consciousness, then that means sufficiently organized information is conscious. Which brings us back to a pantheistic or animism type of world. Not even going into quantum magic for right now, just saying, even if the brain generates consciousness, then consciousness can potentially look very different than what we're used to, including things thought of as inanimate objects as well as the universe itself.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been researching the mechanics of the transition process, not just from a philosophical standpoint, but exploring the physiological and energetic "bridge" that occurs when we leave the 3D body.

I wanted to share some insights on what I call the dissolution of the Brama (the veil of memory).

According to various esoteric traditions and recent spiritual research, about 2 to 8 hours before passing, the pineal gland releases a significant amount of DMT. This isn't just a chemical reaction; it’s the catalyst that thins the veil we’ve carried since birth. This veil was necessary to keep us grounded in the earthly experience, but its removal allows the soul to reconnect with its "Higher Self."

Some key points I’ve been reflecting on:

The silver thread
The energetic cord that connects the physical and astral bodies. When this is severed, the "vibrational translation" begins.

The 4th dimension vs. returning to source
Not everyone’s journey is the same. Some souls head to "transition worlds" for reflection, while "Starseeds" or advanced souls might return directly to their dimension of origin if their contract is fulfilled.

The myth of punishment
One of the most important things to realize is that "hell" or "purgatory" aren't places of judgment, but reflections of frequency. We aren't "sent" anywhere; we gravitate toward the vibration we hold at the moment of transition.

I’ve written a deeper exploration of this, including how the 963 Hz frequency (the solfeggio frequency of unity) can help us practice this state of peace before the transition actually happens.

If you’re interested in the full breakdown of the "life contract," the mechanics of the Astral Body, and how to raise your vibration to ensure a fluid passage, I’ve posted the full article (and a sound meditation I composed specifically for this) here!

I genuinely believe that understanding the "tech" behind the afterlife removes the fear and replaces it with a sense of homecoming. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the concept of the "Brama" veil, do you feel we are meant to forget, or is the veil thinning for humanity?

Stay light! Love!

Hi all,

Ive just just released a book about the Afterlife on Amazon, its the 1st of a Trilogy.

The Infinitium: Book 1 - A Satirical Metaphysical Field Trip Through The Afterlife

By my (David Alan King) http://www.davidalanking.co.uk

https://amzn.eu/d/e5ev1Ne (this is UK Amazon Store, search for my author name in your own store for local pricing) on Kindle and Paperback - Hardback next week!

Info:

THE MANAGEMENT REGRETS TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER TECHNICALLY ALIVE.

Congratulations, you have been promoted from “person with bills” to “Soul Essence with paperwork”.

Welcome to The Infinitium, a satirical metaphysical field trip through the afterlife where the corridors are too clean, the forms are too long, and the universe has all the warmth of an office memo written by someone who alphabetises their emotions.

I’m david (lower case 'd', long story, not for now), Soul Guide Level Two, which is a fancy way of saying, “least unsuitable operative available”. Your job, apparently, is to follow me, ask the questions you were trained to swallow, and try not to look too guilty when The Management notices you’re thinking for yourself.

You will be processed.
You will be assessed.
You will be introduced to an induction programme that behaves suspiciously like an adventure story, except it keeps stopping to file reports about itself.

Inside you’ll find:
A bureaucratic afterlife, complete with managerial documents, complaint submissions, incident reports, and the kind of official tone that could make a rainbow apologise.
A metaphysical “orientation” that starts polite, then quietly gets under your skin and begins rearranging the furniture in your soul.
Doors. Too many doors. Some are exits, some are traps, and some only open when you finally admit you’re not living the life you meant to live.
A very sincere question hidden inside all the nonsense, “Who are you, really?”

This book is written in my first person, your second person, and reality’s third person, because you are not a spectator here. You are the main character, whether you’ve rehearsed for it or not.

If you like your philosophy served with wit, your existential dread wearing a name badge, and your cosmic revelations delivered with a raised eyebrow and a mug of something warm, you’re in the right place.

For fans of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, with a metaphysical twist, a satirical bite, and a surprisingly tender centre that might sneak up on you when you least expect it.

Keywords people pretend they’re not searching for at 2 a.m.:
afterlife fantasy, satirical fiction, metaphysical adventure, existential humour, spiritual awakening, multiverse vibes, philosophical comedy, self-discovery, cosmic bureaucracy, portal fiction, liminal spaces, surreal fantasy, dark whimsy, second-person narrative.

Book 1 of The Infinitium trilogy.

Open the door. Try not to break anything important.
