Life Beyond Life (Part 2) 

A new born child is a new entrant in a new home with new parents. Each day thousands of new-borns get new homes and new parents. These births are accompanied by celebrations for the parents and other family members. But have you ever stopped to wonder that behind the curtains of these celebrations are feelings of loss in the family members where these souls or spiritual energies leave old physical bodies, what we commonly call death. We can call it Life Beyond Life. The concept of birth and re-birth or life beyond life has been a topic of debate since time immemorial. Over the ages, many philosophers, the spiritually inclined, the religious minded and people associated with medicine have talked in favour of this reality, which they believe is embedded in the fabric of life. On the other hand, some have been non-committal or unsure in their approach and some have even expressed disbelief at the idea because of lack of ample evidence. Though today, proof in its favour has surfaced in various corners of the world through past life regression, near death experiences and case studies by medical journals, accompanied by records of a significant number of people who have remembered their past birth. 

So, living in a world giving ample proof for the concept today, accompanied by deep experiences of the existence of the soul and its immortality (it never dies) by good meditators and people who are followers of different religions all across the world, one needs to develop strong faith in it. A faith that my family member, who has left me, has transferred himself/herself to a new reality, a new joy filled and love filled existence, a new set of parents, a new healthy body and a new set of friends, relatives and brothers and sisters. So it’s not death but a new life beyond this life. This is a more positive perception.
