Welcome to Tales' Well.
Many people feel uncertain
and have the same doubt: after death
will we live on
or is death the end?
Many believe we live on.
Believers from different religions
and non-believers as well,
look forward to another life.
But is there proof?
Nobody who has died
has returned.
Nobody?
Welcome to Tales' Well
If you like mysteries, this is the place for you.
Do you believe in life
after death?
There is no scientific proof,
therefore, I don't.
What a surprise.....Please, everyone
believes that something happens after we die.
For more than 450.000 years
funeral rituals have been performed...
Maybe for 450.000 years
the same mistake has been repeated.
But all the sacred books
coincide that after death
there is something more.
The Book of the Dead from ancient Egypt
describes the soul as a bird
that flies away
towards the divinity Maat
who had an ostrich feather
to weigh people's hearts on his scales.
If the heart was heavier than the feather
the soul could not enter the world of the afterlife.
A light heart is a metaphor
for the lack of guilt and worries.
Death, the trial of life,
and an eternal prize or punishment
are concepts which have been conserved
in the Judeo-Christian tradition,
in Islam and in other religions.
I prefer oriental philosophies
such as Buddhism or Hinduism.
According to these religions
after death we are born again,
in a cycle of reincarnation
so as to perfect the soul
until we reach Nirvana.
Nir...what??
When you no longer are reincarnated.
When you no longer want or desire anything
and are you are freed from the cycle of reincarnation.
You don't want anything and you aren't anything!
Well then, I prefer the Muslim's heaven.
All the sacred books: the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas
coincide that there is life after death.
Just because the majority believe in it, doesn't make it true.
But it can't be belittled
when all these holy texts
coincide on this element.
In any case,
it is a subject that has been of interest
to many philosophers.
Epicurus said:
if you are here, death is not
and if death is here, you are not.
So don't worry and just live.
Well, I guess you are right.
Death is of great scientific interest.
Some doctors have studied
near death experiences.
Patients who have suffered
a clinical death and then returned.
The most famous study was completed
by Dr. Raymond Moody
titled Life After Death.
Following its release many investigators
continued with these kind of studies.
Go on! Go on!
This is really interesting!
Patients that have had
near death experiences
have similar memories
such as going through a tunnel,
and the recognition of a threshold from which there is no return,
meeting deceased family members,
...among other things
such as the losing
their fear of death.
I know that book!
Scientists that endorse life
after death.
Scientists are like the priests of the 21st century. Aren't they?
Priests of the 21st century?
Ridiculous!
Surely there are physical
motives that explain everything:
lack of oxygen
errors in sensory perception
or neurological errors,
hallucinations or dreams...
But there must be a physical cause.
Very debatable objections!
There are testimonials from the dying
that have seen and heard things
from outside their own body
that have been checked and confirmed afterwards.
Even from deaf patients
that during the NDE telepathically
they heard information
that when they returned, has been proven to be correct.
Yeah right!
Some part of us survives!
How do you explain
that it is so common
to have a vision of a tunnel?
They've been influenced by films.
And Bosco,
what film did he see?
Frankly that's disturbing!
Recommend a film to me.
Flatliners
It is about some young
medicine students
that provoke
a near death experience
so they can study it.
I recommend: The Devil and the Blacksmith\i\i}
It's fantastic!
It is filmed in the Basque language
and mixes Christian traditions
and Basque traditions
that surround death.
How about a book?
This one:
Consciousness Beyond Life
it is written by a Dutch cardiologist,
Pim van Lommel.
He presents a panoramic look
at the state of the studies
about NDE.
I recommend this book:
It's so good!
That's it for Tales' Well
If you've lived though
a near death experience
or an incredible,
or paranormal experience
write to us.
And even if you are dead, write to us!!
