I saw 2 small black butterflies (both with white dots) as it flew right before me in a circular motion against each other. Incidentally, it was my mother's first death anniversary, thus, I wish to know if it had some significance ?

  1. i think this means that she is watching over you. i dont think its a bad thing and i hope im right, for your sake


  2. Well, there is no meaning for that… but as you might be aware of what happens at death, the Bible give much enlightenment on soul It also contains comforting and cheering information on the condition of the dead, and it provides hope for our dead loved ones (like to your Mom and my Dad who died about 14 yrs ago). The Bible’s description of the human soul is found at Genesis 2:7, “Jehovah (God’s name) God proceeded to form the man out of the dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul [sātmaprāni, Skt.] ” Please note, man did not receive a soul, rather, he came to be a living soul. Hence man is a soul. Therefore, you do not possess a soul, but you yourself are a soul. A living human soul has two vital constituents: fleshly body plus life-force ((ātma). Separate the life-force from the body, and there is no living soul. The soul becomes nonexistent. Man is no longer “a breather,” and therefore, is no longer a soul. It is like water made of two gases, hydrogen and oxygen. By combining these two gases in correct proportions, water is formed. Extract one of the gases from the compound, and the water ceases to exist.

    Accordingly, at death you do not become a disembodied soul. No, for the simple reason that your fleshly body is a part of your soul. When the body dies, the soul is dead, it ceases to exist. Neither do you become a disembodied spirit, or ātma. Why not? Because the ātma is the impersonal life-force, or spirit, which animates the living soul, and which empowers the soul to think, move, and live. When the life-force, or ātma, is extinguished within the living soul, the effect is similar to what happens when electricity is withdrawn from a light bulb. The light is extinguished. Where does the light go? It simply becomes nonexistent. It is for this reason that death is the very opposite of life. And that is why death came to mankind as a punishment for disobedience to the Creator of life.

    The human soul is, therefore, not immortal, but mortal—subject to death and extinction. In confirmation of this, the Bible states: “Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul [prāni, Skt.] that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) Consequently, the condition of the dead is far different from what human rishis, or religious sages and gurus, have speculated it to be. The Bible, as God’s Word, authoritatively states: “Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going.”—Psalm 146:3, 4; Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.

    The Bible thus teaches that death brings total cessation to one’s thinking and consciousness. Death ends activity, work, devising, knowledge, and wisdom. Death is nonexistence. Assuredly there is no life after death! This explanation of the human soul and condition of the dead may come as a shock to many. But so did the discovery of the earth’s shape when it was found to be spherical. The human race had to reconcile itself to the truth. Likewise, when the emperor of Japan acknowledged his humanity and renounced his godship, the ideas of millions had to be readjusted in line with the facts. And when scientists put men on the moon, millions had to revise their religious ideas of the universe. So, too, millions of people around the world in this 20th century have already reconciled their beliefs to their discoveries of the Bible’s teachings regarding a destructible soul and the unconscious dead.

    But how is this knowledge about the dead comforting or cheering? Well, it is comforting to know that our dead loved ones are not suffering pain anywhere. They are not existing in a semiliving, inert state of Nirvana. Nor are they toiling along a remorseless and merciless series of rebirths, or samsaras. Nor are their identities lost forever, released (moksha) into a mass of impersonal World Spirit (paramātman). But the dead are dead. They are in a state of nonexistence. Moreover, there is a bright hope for our dead loved ones. This is why the foregoing information about the dead is comforting and cheering. But we now ask: What hope could there ever be for any renewal of life for the dead, and yes, what hope for the living?

    For the applying of Christ’s ransom to the world of mankind to take place, there must be a return to life of dead human souls from the memorial tombs. So God’s Kingdom by Christ will accomplish a resurrection of billions of dead humans just as God’s Word assures us: “And the se

  3. Well it very well could be a sign believe the gut feeling when it feels right , usually people come across those things I believe god is not ignorant he likes to make some sort of comfort for us the only thing he restricts is Souls contacting the physical what would the point in Repenting from our sins be if Some one just came back and said Hey!

    I was just in heaven, God made the earth perfect he went as far as Providing all thee events in one book so we can believe and know that Jesus Died took punishment for our Sins and for those who choose to believe in him get eternal life in heaven theres actually many views on that but would you believe a room full of scientists claiming the world will end in approximately 2700 they don't know until we are there get what im saying . they can only Speculate  listen to yourself if it feels right its right ,if you doubt it you doubt it ,if you don't believe you don't believe . People push something they haven't discovered  away (like a virgin who claims s*x isn't good well how do they know they haven't had s*x )and choose not too believe but its religion of chose we don't have too believe anything (unless we believe it) you said you believe that two butterfly's circled  around you on the day  as a sign maybe so I wouldn't call you a fool for believing you mum had something too do with that (: I took a road trip a month ago to get my mom there was A star following us the whole way since the day my grandfather died this star is always over the house I watched thee same star the whole time as it was with us the whole night from Ohio too New Jersey..

    No one could answer this for you only you can go with the gut feeling ..

    My Condolence's go out

    Ps. death is unknown ask yourself why we don't know what happens but yet scientists are able to find cures to cancer and solve other myths .. Death is one thing just like God (:

    hope I could help and sorry  I got off subject
