Hmmn...When I lost my sis, this was the question I kept asking her each time she appeared in my dreams. I would ask: "Where are you now? What is the name of the place? Are they treating you well?"

My sis would complain how one man was not treating her fine...bla..bla... Recently, I noticed she longer complains and seems happier. Life is indeed a mystery!

It is folklore, and it is also truth. It's not a story we tell for fun, but a way of life. For us, it's a different way of seeing the world, where the dead remain part of the family

prayers like the "Eternal Rest" prayer ask for God's mercy for the souls of the departed. It's not praying to them as deities, but it is a sacred act of remembering and including them in our spiritual family, asking for their peace. It's a different expression of the same core idea that the bonds of family and community transcend death.
And where did you learn that souls exist and do not die?

When people die. Where do they go. I want to know.
This question has already been answered by ancient people thousands of years ago before the age of religions.

The ancients said there's no death, life has no end, rather it recycles itself just like you recycle old plastics or bottles to make new ones. It continues like that non-stop forever. You can read more details about that on my blog africason.com

Before the age of religions, ancient people didn't believe in death. Example, in ancient Egyptian literature, all you see is people preparing for life after the so called death, in fact, it's the ancients that invented the concept of life after death.

As I said, go to my blog and read more details. Look for the article that says death doesn't exist, there's no end, life has no end

It is religions that created the falsehood of death to put fear in the masses in order to control them to obedience

So if life has no end, why does new ones have to be made?

Re: When People Die. Where Do They Go. I Want To Know. by SeriouslySense(m):
As a Christian, death is a door, and is not something to be afraid of, after we die, we go to be with the Lord.

Jesus conquered death for our sake, so we may have life and have it abundantly. God created us in his image and to have eternal life.

So i have faith that we are going to a beautiful world after death smiley

All the prove you need in Jesus, there are evidences that he rose again from the dead, this is my Joy and it is the good news.

Let me attempt to explain why there is an amazing life after death, the evidence is found very clearly only with Jesus, the shroud of turin.

EXPLANTION#######

To understand why the shroud of turin is important, we have to ask, how was that image created and when. And can the process be reproduced with human technology. Scientist have attempted to create this image of a man on a cloth. They have tried printing it and discovered even using printers required so much energy, that cannot be supplied using our energy sources. It required a lot of power and the flash of light has to be within a short time in order not to destroy the fabric. Looking at the cloth you would not see a a lot of information, but in a dark room and viewing the cloth from other spectrum of light, you can see more information that is in 3d format.

If the information is in three 3d form, it means to produce that image you cannot use a 2d printer, you need an object or a person that would be rapped in cloth and then that person or object will release a lot of energy within Nano seconds. And using current dating technology, that cloth is dated to have being in existence for more than 1500 years or 1800 years ( due to poor collection for samples the cloth was not dated to exactly Jesus time, samples were collected from the edges, it was known that the cloth was maintained by attaching new pieces when it was affected by fire)

From carrying tests on the fabric, they found plant remains that only grow around Israel. They also discovered Jewish writings on the cloth that talks about Jesus.

So, to cut the story short, let me explain what happened. On the third day after Jesus was laid in the tomb, probably before the sun came out during the dawn. When the Lord Spirit came back to the body to transform his body to a new type of physical body that cannot die or perish. within nano seconds, an intense bright light of great energy flashed, and the image of his body was imprinted into that cloth. Jesus phased out of that cloth, his body can move through solid. After Peter was informed that Jesus is alive and he went back to the tomb, he saw the fabric still wrapped or still coiled as if Jesus body disappeared from the cloth without the fabric been unwrapped.

If you really want to be sure of life after death, just go and research on the shroud of turin, i can't explain all the details, but it will blow your mind and you just have to prepare for eternal life. cool

You need to know the tricks Satan uses to catch people...

God is the Creator of all the herbs...

These atheists don't believe in the Bible..


So it's either you choose God's word or the atheists claiming scientists...
The Hindus, Koreans and Africans have different perspectives on afterlife, that you claim the one from Europe tells the truth.

Satan only exists within the same stories of God, so without reading the bible you wouldn't know Satan and without evidence you are forced to believe.

God didn't come up with anything. It is the trial and error of man, that lead man to utilizing herbs for illnesses... Moreso, the book claims the devil is the one causing illnesses... God preferred man to be a dummy eating rotten fruits and decaying meat, because he wouldn't have knowledge of good and evil.

On going back, will they be serving chicken and fried rice in heaven? If they would, is the chicken resurrected too?

God's word if one were not indoctrinated, one would never choose it nor call it the word of God... It must interest you to know that many of those who are atheists became atheist because they didn't just read the bible, they studied and know it, where Christians believe it, even when it is obviously faulty...

Because your school teacher introduced maths to you doesn't mean he is the originator of mathematics, because the English man brought Bible to you doesn't mean he is the author.

There is 100% evidence that Satan exists and that he is controlling mankind just as the book Bible says. 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19

All you need to do is ask for proof!🙂

So are you saying that all the perspectives of afterlife from every region of the world is false?

I would like to ask you...
How did life and the universe begin?
What is the purpose of humans on earth and how did we get here?
Why is there so much suffering in the world and what is the solution to all suffering?
What do you think is the standard for good and evil if you believe they exist?

MikeofKd:
Well For the Christian religious folks it either heaven or hell , for others I don't know.
Everyone has a belief system subconsciously governing them, for the Christians the fear of hell frightens them to behave morally upright.
But there's no prove that heaven or hell exists , because if the body dies , then the spirit departs from the body , making the body an empty vessel. A spirit outside a body flows up air, it doesn't follow the laws of gravity , a spirit is similar to air precisely , it cannot hold it cannot feel , it cannot touch like a active human body can , so if hell was real how then do you explain fire burning a spirit , since the body is left back on earth , it doesn't make any sense.


In the other the concept of wether heaven or hell is real is purely theoretical , there's also no prove that heaven exists , some brainwashed Christian folks would say heaven is in the sky or above the earth , that's gibberish, backed up with no scientific accuracy or data.

But to answer your question , I don't think anyone fully understands the concept of death but I do to an extent , you see death just like time is an illusion, it's not real , there are traditional ways you can communicate with the dead which leaves you with only more curiosity that if death was actually real why then can we communicate with the dead.

Death is like a trance , leaving one experience ( physical ) to another experience ( spiritual )
I for one think when one dies , there's a switch between 2 worlds which are the ( physical and spiritual world)

so when one dies , he/she goes into the spirits world , now the spirits world is complex unlike the physical world , no one can describe what the spirit world looks like , even people that have died and came back , they didn't enter into the spirit world , you can't return once Ur in the spirit world.
Whatever happens in the spirit world stays in the spirit world but then there's reincarnation so can come back to earth as a human , animal or any living thing. The circle continues until God get bored and pulls the plug I guess.
I love this ...
There is a Yoruba adage that says .

( It's only an ignorance person that is afraid of death because it serves as the end of the non and beginning of the unknown) But that life is a cycle we reincarnate over time in the same family or sometimes among other family members.
That's why we have names like babatunde, iyabo, atunde, iyabode etc and truly this new born will look like the dead person as he/she grow up 🤔

Life is a multidimensional path no one can actually explain the spiritual aspect to the peak 😢

THE TRUTH IS NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE GOING AFTER DEATH. ALL LIVING ORGANISM ARE JUST AN EMBODIMENT OF ENERGY. WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE YOU WERE BIRTHED? YOU DONT KNOW, LIKEWISEYOU NOT KNOWING WHERE YOU WILL GO WHEN YOU DIE. CREATOR HAS PUT CREATION INTO AN EVERLASTING LOOP CALLED REPRODUCTION. PEOPEL KEEPDYING AND PEOPLE KEEP GIVING BIRTH ON A DAILY.

WHAT BIRTHED YOU OR CREATED YOU IS THE MIXTURE OF CODE AND ENERGY. YOUR PARENTS EXCHANGED FLUIDS AND MADE YOU, SAME WAY ANIMALS EXCHANGE FLUIDS AND BIRTH THEIR OFFSPRING. WE ARE ALL ENERGY WALKING, TALKING AND DOING GREAT THINGS. WHEN YOU DIE, YOU ENERGY IS TAKEN BACK INTO THE EARTH AND YOUR PHYSICAL AWARENESS ( THIS WORLD) IS GONE. YOU BECOME MANURE, AND YOUR ENERGY FLOWS BACK INTO THE EARTH. WE ARE BEING RECYCLED. YOUR DEAD BODY IS GIVING TO THE EARTH AS DUST, SAND, MANURE ETC, PLANTS GET ENERGY FROM YOUR DEAD AND ROTTEN BODY, HAVE YOU TRIED LEAVING A DEAD BODY IN FIELD, WHAT HAPPENS, IT ROTS AND THE ENERGY IS TAKEN BY THE EARTH AND TRANSFORMED INTO ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY, MAYBE NEW PLANT, MUCOUS, FUNGUS ETC..

THE QUSETION ABOUT WHERE WE GO IS ANSWERED IN THIS WRITE UP, WE ARE GOING NO WHERE, WE ONLY TRANSFORM ENERGY THROUGH THE POWER OF THE EARTH(SOIL), WE ARE ALWAYS HERE 100% OF THE TIME. DO YOU IF YOU HAVE EATEN THE ENERGY FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL OR HUMAN, THE PLANT , ANIMALS AND HUMANS ALL GET AND GIVE ENERGY TO ONE ANOTHER.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE SPIRITUAL OR RELIGIOUS ANGLE, I WILL SAY THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM. BUT AS FAR AS AM CONCERNED, IF HUMANS DIE, THEY GO NOWHERE, THEY ARE STILL A PART OF THE UNIVERSE..

WHAT MADE YOU ASK THIS QUESTION IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS TO QUESTION THINGS, TAKE THAT AWAY AND YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ANIMALS I THE FIELD, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT IS BEGGING THIS QUESTION. WE ALL DONT ACTUALLY DIE, WE JUST ADD TO WHATS INTHE UNIVERSE, WE ARE GOING NOWHERE....
According to yourba traditional religion

Re: When People Die. Where Do They Go. I Want To Know. by lilsmart(m): 8:43am On Nov 22, 2025
My Argument

We have never seen a soul.
Yet, we universally know and talk about souls.
We only see the body die, not the soul part of a person.
Therefore, the soul must be an invisible, immortal part of us that continues after the body dies.( just like gravity we know it’s there and as been there from the beginning of time but can not see it)

This is the core of the mind body dualism argument, famously proposed by the philosopher René Descartes. He argued that the mind (or soul) is a non physical substance distinct from the physical body.

Truthseeker10:
And where did you learn that souls exist and do not die?

The soul, as a Christian, i don't think we will experience any loss after death, because to my understanding, immediately we are closing our eyes upon death, we will see the light, we will see life immediately.

Irrespective of the process, we will see the evidence so quickly, the bible says our soul goes to the lord, its either we go to the lord and we see things as spirit form and later we get new bodies that are incorruptible, or we sleep without any awareness, but on Judgment day, we will open our eyes again, and since you are not aware that you were sleeping, even if one thousand years passes, it will be like one second, as if you closed your eyes in death and opened them in one second, cheesy cheesy

Alusiizizi:
No satisfactory explanation of consciousness has yet been presented, indeed, the very definition of the word is hazy at best. Personally, I prefer Dr. Roger Penroses attempt at its description. For those who don't know, Dr. Penrose is a notable theoretical Physics and a Nobel laureate(2023 prize for his theory of trapped surfaces beyond the event horizon of a black hole, thus proving that, given the current understanding of General Relativity, a singularity must form at its center). Basically, his thesis centers around the theory of computation and the Godel incompleteness theorem, which basically asserts that all mathematical systems contains axioms that cannot be proven from within aforementioned mathematical system. What this essentially implies for computation machines, whether we are talking hard code software or even the most advanced A.I, is that the product of any computing machine must directly be correlated to an input, i.e. computing machines cannot create information that was not already fed into it.

Which brings us to the problem of humans. It is a matter of fact that humans routinely create new information, and this is where Penroses theses come to play: Human minds do not obey the Godel incompleteness theorem because the source of human consciousness is not a classical system but a quantum mechanical one, in other words, human minds are actually quantum computers and not classical computers.

Now, what does all this have to do with the final destination of human consciousness? Well, we know that something called "entanglement" is the very center of all quantum processes, which means that human minds, and therefore consciousness, is entangled with the rest of the universe, so perhaps, when a human dies, his body might die but his consciousness could very well linger on.
All these rambling just to end up telling us you and everyone else knows fu, rck all about what happens after humans demise.
