What do you believe?

We live in mundane times. Things of a fantastic nature seem to be a thing of the past. One of the few things we have that can take us away from the rut of our day to day lives is the mystery surrounding the great beyond. It is one of mankind’s greatest mysteries, also one that can never truly be explained. Aside from the mostly undiscovered Antarctic, it is probably that last true adventure mankind can ever embark on. No pun intended when I say “last.”   With so many different systems of belief about what happens when we die, how can we ever begin to guess what is the actual truth?

Some people take solace in that they are going to a better place. Some people believe the righteous go up, and the sinners go down. Some religions have purgatory, while some have hell. There are also those who believe there is nothing beyond that point. That it is just over. So how could we ever begin to understand such a cosmic existential thing as what happens once we pass on? Could it be that some beliefs are right while some are wrong? Could it be that all are right or all are wrong? Even this as outside of the box as it is, is still a possibility that even within our vast variety of beliefs we are all missing the truth completely. However, with no real guide save that of those various beliefs, how could we even form any new thoughts or opinions?

I am not in any rush to go on that adventure yet, I have a lot of living that I want to do for a long time to come. The thought however is one we all still think about. What happens when we get to that point?  What steps can we take in this life to ensure that our immortal soul is protected, for those who believe in the immortal soul?  That one I would have to say is an easy one. The better person you are, the better chance you have at going to a good place. This is where the paranormal talk truly starts.

For all the ghost experiences that happen, it is hard to think that there is nothing beyond this life. Granted there are a great many skeptics out there who do not believe in the afterlife or paranormal. However, I obliviously believe there is a vast afterlife out there which I want to learn the truth about.  With these ghosts and apparitions that happen, you hear tales of the spectre that appears to save the traveller from going a dangerous route. You hear stories of the phantom that directs a person out of harm’s way then is never found. Some are beings that are seemingly benevolent spirits out to help people in need.  So if this is a good entity, why is it trapped here? What about its immortal soul? 

There are such things as the crisis apparitions, beings with unfinished business, all of which seem to disappear after they have accomplished their goal. If we see them for the time in which they have to do something, where do they go when they are done? I have my beliefs and am sure you all out there have your own. Share your thoughts with me. I want to hear about what your beliefs are and how you see things.

In a strange way my beliefs are almost like a bank account. With the more good you put out, the more income you have. While the more bad you do the more debt you have. If you have more income than debt you are safe (Heaven), if your debt gets too high you go bankrupt (Hell). Perhaps that is an over simplification. I think that it is one we all can relate too though.
