Life After Death
Is there life after we die in this world? What happens after we die, do we cease to exist or
do we move on the another world, another life? This is a question that hunts humans and all
living things since the beginning of life have wanted to know. I myself have experienced death
and have seen things that can’t be experienced in this life, however, that alone will not convince
you of the existence of the other side so here are some numbers. About 90% of people that have
had a near death experience have had an out of body experience, where they are able to see
themselves and everything else around them with explicit detail, afterwards they describe a
situation where they go to another place( heaven ). With in does 90% of people 10% of them
have a frightening experience at first where they see a place full of fear ( hell ) ( Jeffrey Long,
M.D. Near-Death Researcher).
People being able to seen another side when their heart stops may sound odd. Neurologist
see, that even in the dead state were the human brain starts to die it becomes hectic, the visual
will activate in a sense of panic and people will be able to see a white light. Since the brain will
be in a panic stage the person will have hallucinations where they believe they are someplace
else, heaven in this case (Kevin Nelson M.D. Neurologist). By this explanation people can tell if
they are in a dream or if they are in really. Both of their consciousness dream and realistic will be
mixed until they die.
Studies done by doctors to people have showed that even when people aren’t counsies

or dead, somehow they can still react for a short while before flat line on their brain activity.”
With in that short period of time their conscious state is the same as a person that is alive and
kicking”(Lakhmir S. Chawla M.D. Critical Care Physician). As long as the person blood
pressure goes to zero they will have does spikes. In the transition were the soul is starting to
detach from the body the mind has this episodes to were in tries to get it back to come back to
life but can’t.
Dr. Jeffrey Long author of Evidence of the Afterlife has researched people who are blind
from birth have had visual near-death experience something they shouldn’t be able to have.
Near-death experience is not something that is cultural influence. From over 1000 people around
the world, from different cultures they all have had the similar experience, they see the light,
heaven, and god. Children in the age of 5-10 and even younger have had the same experience as
a full grown adults. The studies by Dr. Jeffrey explain that there is something more after death
something everyone will experience. Whether is heaven or another place there is something
more on the other side.
Whether after reading this you want to believe in the existence of the other side or not is
up to you; however the evidence is cleared that there is something else after this life. We don’t
just live and disappear from the face of this existence, we can continue on living with all our
memories and with our love ones. Everyone will die that’s something you can’t undo but
learning that there may be more to death then a void of nothingness its comforting. The real truth
will be revealed soon we just have to be patient.
