Part 7 - Urge for Life After Death

One mystery that has confounded man for ages is the wonder of what happens after we leave this physical form. 

As your body is placed in the ground and rots until it is part of the earth that it came from, the question that is asked is, “Is this it?. I work and have trials and tribulations, joy and happiness to come down to this?”  

From ancient times, people have understood that we live on spiritually after we die.  There is a finer and more subtle aspect of ourselves that can be dominated by the prevalent physical part that we see.  

The ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Tibetans and other societies have manuals or so-called Books of the Dead that show how to navigate the underworld in order to get to heaven.  Many people worship God and try to be on their best behavior in order to go to heaven and not have their soul tortured by wicked demons in hell for eternity.  

Others say that earth is in space or in the heavens already and make their heaven here on earth.  They may accomplish so much and effect so many people in a positive (or negative) way that they live on after they die.  They exist in the minds of people, books are written about their exploits, monuments are carved in their effigy, streets are named after them and buildings are erected in their honor.  

Ancient Egyptians said that as long as people spoke your name, remember you deeds and continue your legacy, you are still alive.  

How will you make your mark? 

How many lives have you effected?  

What works have you started that will be continued after you are gone so that you may have life after death?
