Throughout time, people have been conditioned to perceive death as a finish to the experience of life. Religions have taught us about the existence of eternal life. Yet, we are saddled with kernels of doubt. We wonder if the promise of eternal life is real.
What is death?
When the heart stops beating, death occurs. This is known as death by cardiopulmonary standards, and that is how most people define death. When a person stops breathing, their brain shuts down, and all life functions halt. Doctors may now keep a patient’s heart beating longer because of modern critical care medicine and the ability to artificially maintain people’s hearts beating.
When people experience irreversible brain injury and brain death, the brain dies. Still, the person’s heart continues to beat, and they are legally declared dead based on irreversible brain death. This occurs in a small percentage of cases where people are proclaimed dead.
The Afterlife
The afterlife, often known as life after death, is an existence in which an individual’s essential stream of consciousness or identity survives the death of their physical body. The remaining vital characteristic varies according to each religious system; it may be a partial portion or an individual’s full soul or spirit, which carries with it and may provide personal identity or, on the contrary, nirvana.
According to some, this continuous existence occurs in a spiritual dimension; however, according to others, the individual may be reincarnated into this world and begin the life cycle again, most likely with no memory of what they have done in the past. According to this latter viewpoint, such rebirths and deaths can occur indefinitely until the individual accesses the spiritual realm. Religion, esotericism, and metaphysics all have significant perspectives on the afterlife.
Some belief systems, such as the Abrahamic tradition, hold that the deceased go to a particular place after death, as determined by God or another divine judgment, depending on their conduct or beliefs during life. In contrast, in reincarnation systems, the nature of the prolonged existence is directly dictated by the individual’s conduct throughout their life.
Reincarnation
At each death, an aspect of a living entity begins a new existence in a different physical body or form, according to the philosophical or theological idea of reincarnation. This concept is part of the karma doctrine of cyclic existence and is also known as rebirth or transmigration.
In my experience as a psychic medium, I can say with absolute certainty that life after death exists. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed – only converted from one form of energy to another. Since we are energy, we must therefore be transformed. The information I receive during a reading comes directly from the spirit world. I share details and evidence that I could not have known otherwise. This should give us all hope that our loved ones are very much alive and well, doing their work on the other side.
At the age of sixteen, Scott embarked on a lifelong pursuit to guide others through the most challenging time of their life – the loss of a loved one. A former funeral director and embalmer, his opening to mediumship was as surprising as it was unsettling. Misconstrued initially as an attachment or haunting, the series of frightening events leading up to his mediumistic unfoldment was, in actuality, the genesis of a deep relationship with spirit, coming forth to awaken Scott and paving the way for him to deliver heartfelt messages of love and hope from the other side.
