What's after death?

[Anasa]

many cultures and languages think wind/breath/air is soul,so i believe death is just a fog fly out from mouth and nose.

At that point you will be Q from Star Trek. And The Federation with all their knowledge never really could figure out what he was on about. Now imagine being on that level with today's mundane people. TBH I'd rather die than deal with that kind of boredom.

what boredom do you mean?

An insufferable prick?

Much of esoteric research is finding what resonates with us internally. Valentinian Gnosticism is currently what resonates with me the most. We are divine sparks that fell into this physical Matrix. On our way down we picked up 7 "garments" or layers of consciousness that form our ego and fate, ruled by the 7 planets and 12 astrological archetypes. When we die, each of those layers is stripped as we ascend the 7 Heavens which are still part of this Matrix. If we can make it above the 7th Heaven by knowing our true origin - the Pleroma and the Monad - the fate/karma of the Matrix no longer can keep us trapped in the cycle of memory wipes and reincarnation. I believe the Pneuma (our divine spark) or its equivalent, the Neshama, remembers not just this lifetime, but all other lifetimes from the perspective of our Higher Self or Holy Guardian Angel. Performing the right rituals can help us practice this ascent while we're still alive.

What do you believe happens after death?

Rebirth on Earth as a new human?​

​

Rebirth on Earth as a different species?​

​

Rebirth on a different plane/dimension?​

​

Continuing on in a different plane/dimension? Like heaven or hell...​

​

Continuing on in a parallel universe where you never died... on and on forever till you're the last person alive?​

​

Something, but something inexplicable...?​

​

Nothing?​

Let me know your thoughts...

A Sacramento Shaman and Transpersonal Psychologist suggested to me that those who experience heaven/hell in the afterlife are doing so because of their own strongly held beliefs and expectations, and do so on the astral plane, moving on to higher spiritual planes when they are ready. This sounds like a Theosophical outlook, to me.
