After Death

There are an infinite amount of events that could follow our death. Throughout the last couple of months, I have been debating with myself different scenarios that could come of our subconsciouse. Do our minds or souls live on when we die? Do we even have souls or our existence just a combination of experiences and advancements in evolution? People’s views vary depending on whether they look at the world empirically and rationally, or spiritually. However, the world isn’t black and white and in my opinion, it is illogical to have starkly fundamental beliefs. There is no way to know for sure what happens; no one can prove anything for certain. So why kill one another on the theory of a mythological power? It begins to become apparent that the question of an afterlife is incredibly objective. What is true for one man is not necessarily true for another, and definitely not true for the majority. Many of our world societies suffer because of different and intolerant beliefs that were most likely force fed upon them. I have stepped back from a Christian upbringing and really thought to myself about a lot of different views, and I am still not quite sure what I believe in. I have gained new perspectives on the world and believe that I have grown into a better person; not being a follower and actually thinking for myself, I believe I have obtained a better understanding of myself and our universe.
Is it healthier to worry about what happens to you, and maybe follow some random beliefs that makes you feel comfortable or think about life yourself and live life for yourself and for the ones you love?

Good song for this blog post
Oh Jesus, I love You
And I love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed

Why do some people say
That there is just one way
To love You, God, and come to You?
We are all a part of You

You are un-nameable
You are unknowable
All we have is metaphor
that´s what time and space are for

Is the universe Your thought?
You are and You are not
You are many, You are one
Ever ending, just begun

Alright, alright, alright
I love You and Buddha too

Oh Jesus, I love You
And I love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed

Why do some people say
That there is just one way
To love You, God and come to You?
We are all a part of You

Alright, alright, alright
I love You and Buddha too


Oh Jesus, I love You
(I love You, Jesus)
And I love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed

Why do some people say
(I love You, Jesus)
That there is just one way
To love You God and come to You?
We are all a part of You

You are un-nameable
(I love You, Jesus)
You are unknowable
All we have is metaphor
that´s what time and space are for

Is the universe Your thought?
(I love You, Jesus)
You are and You are not
You are many, You are one
Ever ending, just begun

Alright, alright, alright
(I love You, Jesus)
I love You and Buddha too
Alright, alright, alright
(I love You, Jesus)
I love You and Buddha too

And Buddha too, and Buddha
too, and Buddha too
(I love You, Jesus)
And Buddha too, and Buddha
too, and Buddha too
(I love You, Jesus)
And Buddha too, and Buddha
too, and Buddha too
(I love You, Jesus)
And Buddha too, and
Buddha too, oh yeah
