LiFe aFter DeatH...
Ever what happens to life after death? Just visualise yourself now...and your grandparents or any old folk...it's like one day you will be like them...and when that time comes...lieing on your death bed...your heart pounding slower and slower...and after years of beating...finally comes to a standstill...YOU'RE DEAD!! yes...i'm crazy...but on a serious note...where do you really go?
You will probably be thinking..."not go to heaven then hell lo!"
But...does your soul(if you think there is) rise up from your body(like you see on TV) and float up to heaven or down to hell? On a more scientific explaination, inside you consists of only veins, nerves, bones, and your working brain which keeps you thinking...and people believe that "something" will rise up (soul)...or becomes a ghost or something...depending on which side of the world you hear from.
Sciencists or philosophers are characteristically concerned with the origin of life, the existence of the soul, the entrance of evil into the world, and death. Thus while these topics appear to be contemporary, they have always occupied man's spirit.
Another belief of life after death is to be born again or you call it reincarnation. Egyptians believed in reincarnation or the transmigration of the soul. They thought the soul transmigrated from body to body and this was a reason why they embalmed the body in order to preserve it so that it could journey along with ka, an animating force that was believed to be counterpart of the body, which would accompany it in the next world or life. Ka might be considered equivalent to the term of soul.
This establishes the dating of the concept of reincarnation back to the ancient Egyptian religion but many think it dates beyond antiquity. The belief is thought to have been an necessity among primitive peoples. Certainly long before ancient Egypt peoples believed in transmigration of the soul. If they were not sophisticated enough to understand the concept of a soul, then they may have simply called it life. An individual or object which moved had life, and the one which did not, did not have life. This is analogous to the belief of animism.
So depends on which side of the story you believe in...you will never find out the truth...until the day comes for you to leave this world...or do you?....
