Blog post:
In our youth-obsessed culture, it's no wonder that most people fear aging and death. But what if there was more to life than what we can see and touch? What if consciousness continues after we move on from our physical body?
In this blog post, I'm going to share some anecdotal evidence that suggests consciousness does continue after death. I'm also going to talk about why we fear aging and death, and how we can overcome our fear.
Anecdotal evidence for consciousness after death
There is a growing body of anecdotal evidence that suggests consciousness continues after death. This evidence comes from near-death experiences (NDEs), out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and after-death communications (ADCs).
NDEs are experiences in which people who have been clinically dead report having vivid visions and experiences. Some people report seeing a bright light, while others report meeting deceased loved ones. In fact, one study found that 76% of people who had NDEs reported seeing or feeling the presence of deceased loved ones.
OBEs are experiences in which people feel like they are floating outside of their bodies. They are often able to see themselves from above and observe what is happening around them. Some people even report being able to travel to different places while in an OBE.
ADCs are communications that people have with deceased loved ones after their death. These communications can take many different forms, including dreams, visions, and auditory voices. Some people even report feeling the physical touch of their deceased loved ones.
Why do we fear aging and death?
There are a few reasons why most people fear aging and death. First, we are not culturally conditioned to accept aging and death as natural parts of life. Instead, we are bombarded with images of youth and beauty, and we are constantly told that we need to look and feel young in order to be valuable. This can lead to a lot of anxiety and shame about aging.
Second, we fear the unknown. We don't know what happens to us after we die. And this uncertainty can be very scary.
Finally, we fear death because it means losing the people we love. It means leaving behind everything we know and everything we are familiar with. This can be a very difficult thing to accept.
How can we overcome our fear of aging and death?
There are a few things we can do to overcome our fear of aging and death. First, we need to educate ourselves about the aging process and the death process. The more we know, the less afraid we will be.
Second, we need to develop a positive attitude towards aging and death. We need to see them as natural and inevitable parts of life.
Third, we need to build a strong support system of family and friends who will love and support us through the aging process and beyond.
Conclusion
Aging and death are natural parts of life. But that doesn't mean we have to fear them. By educating ourselves, developing a positive attitude, and building a strong support system, we can overcome our fear and live our lives to the fullest.
