Answering Questions on Life After Death 💭

Common life after death questions include – What happens? Where do we go? Do we see loved ones? The videos below show the research that different people have done into answering these questions, starting with a video from The Infographics Show named ‘Science Experiment Proves Afterlife is Real’ that summarizes on many of these questions.

This article links with our Near Death Experiences article and past life memories article (especially those from children who had no way of knowing the information provided, which also includes interesting work from some mediums/psychics). Note that NDEs have become more frequent since developments in technology giving the ability to revive people from cardiac arrests and other critical conditions. In summary, people share similar experiences. These experiences include leaving the body, but still perceiving everything and going into another reality where you meet passed loved ones, ‘angels’ and ‘god’.

It is also worth reflecting on the Double Slit Experiment that links to the Holographic Universe theory. This experiment shows that the act of consciousness observing matter affects the way that matter behaves. As such, leading physicists in the World Science Festival, as well as Elon Musk and former NASA physicist Tom Campbell believe that consciousness is the infinite source and reality is a simulation.

“You don’t die, as a consciousness you never die,” Deepak Chopra.

“You can’t divide or multiply consciousness. It’s formless, infinite, spaceless, timeless, irreducible, fundamental, unimaginable, but the source of imagination. It cannot be conceptualized, but is the source of conception. It cannot be perceived, but is the source of perception.” Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger, one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics.

“We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming,” Ludwig Wittgenstein.

When looking into the life after death YouTube videos, stories, documentaries and podcasts below, they all tend have the same message that you are infinite awareness having a human experience; you’re a soul that has embodied your body which filters everything else out so that you only perceive this level of reality for this experience. These include life after death insights from professors, researchers, Dolores Cannon, Peter Fenwick, David Icke, Anita Moorjani, Sadhguru, and Tom Campbell.

Lessons from Near Death Experiences 🧠

Do we see Passed Loved Ones again? 😇

Here’s a quote regarding the question, ‘Do we see loved ones again?’:

‘Imagine you’re in primary school and you have a friend who is a couple of years older that’s leaving to go to secondary school. You’ll miss them for the years that they’re gone, but know you’ll be with them again in the future.’

Also, Bill Letson‘s NDE video below touches on this and has accumulating a high number of views. He mentions a number of things including feeling back where he belonged and that, “All passed loved ones are fine, they are just a bit further down the path than you in the afterlife dimension.” He also discusses life purpose, saying that we are all here for a reason; to live life to the fullest and learn/grow as a soul. He says “Make those on the other side proud of what you do here”.

An interesting counter-take of this is shared by David Icke. He says that the initial afterlife perceived could still be part of this same simulation we experience in life and that we are being manipulated to go to ‘the light’ to encourage reincarnation, but we should ascend this reality to a higher dimension. He also believes that any loved ones that we initially perceive are just projections taken from the Akashic Records (a record stored in another dimension of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred) to encourage us to go towards the light and reincarnation. He touches on this in the video below.

This links with the Native American beliefs to not walk straight into the “dazzling bright light”, but to orientate yourself and wait for the right, “warmer light”. Across several Native American traditions, the general theme is, “The soul must not rush toward the first bright phenomenon it sees.” The first “light” may represent confusion, the shock of leaving the body, trickster forces, the land of the dead who are not at peace, the realm of ghosts, or simply the initial disorientation of the spirit leaving the physical world. Instead, the newly departed must wait for true guides (ancestors, spirits, helpers), orient toward the correct direction or trail, choose the proper kind of light (gentle, warm, ancestral) over a blinding or chaotic one. This is conceptually very close to Tibetan, Egyptian, and even some Gnostic afterlife teachings about deceptive or confusing lights. Also, in the Buddhist Saṃsāra reincarnation wheel, it is said one has to ‘be enlightened’ to detach from it.

In addition, in the ‘Emerald Tablets‘, Thoth describes that in the regions reached after death, there exist “shadows” or “dark brothers” who travel only in straight, linear paths. He warns that these beings seek to bind or trap the unprepared soul (this potentially links to David Icke’s findings to not walk towards the initial bright light observed after death, as he believes it is a reincarnation trap). He then instructs that by moving in a curved or circular path, one can break free of their line of influence, since the dark beings cannot follow motion that is not straight. He adds that curved motion aligns with the geometry of higher realms, while straight-line movement is characteristic of lower astral entities. He doesn’t say that loved ones aren’t waiting for us, but that initial visuals could be manipulations and not true.

Another theory that links to this is that of John Lear. He suggests that when your soul leaves the body there’s a structure on the moon that sends your soul back to earth to be reincarnated like a reincarnation trap, rather than choosing to reincarnate for more soul growth and life experiences.

Non-Human Insights? 👽

The video below shares an alleged encounter with a non-human intelligence that was being observed in a controlled setting in a military base. This anonymous record (perhaps to safeguard themselves from breaches of secrecy) ‘unearthed’ deep information that resonates with many. Described as a non-hostile being that was questioned about death and it explained what happens and why humanity exists as it does. According to the entity, humans are not accidental; consciousness is not produced by the brain, but temporarily interfaced with it and the brain shapes/decodes this reality (our 5 senses; what we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel), filters perception and limits access, but it does not generate the self.
Death is not annihilation, but a disengagement, after which identity, memory, and selfhood do not dissolve, but continue with greater clarity. It emphasises death as continuity over change.

“What falls away are the distortions imposed by physical survival, fear, impulse, and limitation. When the body can no longer sustain the interface, consciousness withdraws. Withdrawal is not violent or disorienting, it’s a transition. It follows a structure as predictable as birth, though far less understood. It’s something that’s observed repeatedly across different species and worlds, as a consistent pattern rather than a mystery.”

After death, this consciousness clarity is what humans experience as judgment. It explained that there is no external judgment, no “being” weighing actions on a scale. Instead, judgment is immediate recognition through clarity. Consciousness fully recognizes itself, confronting its own intentions and moral choices without distortion. What religions call heaven and hell are not places/geographic locations, but states of alignment or misalignment with truth and selflessness. Suffering or peace arise naturally from what consciousness has become, not from imposed punishment or reward.

“Identity remains intact. Memory persists. The sense of self does not dissolve into nothingness. What falls away are the distortions imposed by physical survival, fear, impulse, and limitation. Consciousness becomes clearer, not altered. This clarity is what humans experience as judgment, though not in the way it is often taught. There is no external tribunal, no “being” weighing actions on a scale. Instead, judgment is immediate self-recognition. Every intention, every choice, every moral compromise becomes visible without distortion.”

“There is no escape from this awareness. Not because it is enforced, but because it is complete. The separation of soul and body occurs. Moral accountability remains. The self continues. What differs is the mechanism. Judgment is not arbitrary and it is not punitive in intent. It is revelatory. Consciousness does not suffer because it is sentenced to suffering. It suffers when it recognizes its own misalignment. This recognition is not cruel. It is necessary. Without it, growth would be impossible. This is why moral choice matters so deeply during physical life.”

“Alignment with truth, selflessness, and what humans often call God produces expansion, connection, and peace. Misalignment produces isolation, contraction, and separation. These are not emotions that pass. They are environments created by the nature of consciousness itself. Heaven and hell are not rewards or punishments imposed from outside. They are outcomes that arise naturally from what consciousness has become. No soul is forced into torment for the sake of balance. Suffering emerges from resistance to alignment just as peace emerges from acceptance of it.”

It continued communicating that uncertainty during life is intentional. Humans forget pre-birth and post-death knowledge so moral choice remains meaningful (although some children remember pre-birth experiences and past lives, which Dolores Canon also discovered through hypnotherapy which included soul contracts, plans for life, choosing family, and life experiences, more of which can be read in this post). Faith, doubt, courage, and sacrifice only matter under uncertainty; certainty would reduce life to calculation.

Scripture is described as symbolic guidance rather than literal instruction, meant to orient individuals morally rather than provide technical truth. God is not denied, but spoken about seriously (not distantly) and understood as alignment with the fundamental structure of consciousness. The entity did not validate atheism, nor did it elevate belief systems above one another.

“The core truths contained within scripture are preserved though imperfectly expressed. Human language, culture, and history shaped how those truths were recorded and interpretation introduced division where guidance was intended. The message was never meant to serve institutions more than individuals. The purpose of scripture was not control, but orientation, not dominance but direction.”

“Humans often confuse the message of God with the structure built around it. Institutions evolve, interpretations fracture, but the central call toward humility, responsibility, love, and moral accountability remains intact. Truth does not belong to institutions. It belongs to alignment and alignment is revealed through action, not labels.”

The entity also shared that humanity is observed by other intelligences not for technology or intelligence, but for its rare capacity to choose good under pressure, fear, and limited knowledge. Intervention is avoided because it would invalidate genuine choice. However, it warned that humanity is approaching a moral threshold: power is growing faster than wisdom. Observation is temporary and when moral choice is compromised, observation may shift to participation, though what that entails is left unexplained (this links to UFO sightings often recorded around nuclear installations).
