What is the meaning of the afterlife?

Question

Hello

I have seen the signs that say that something will happen after my death, and after this awful life of mine to which I have had an incredible amount of problems; I have had several heart attacks at the age of 25 or so.

I have had many paranormal experiences and things that suggest something good would happen one day.

They include the following things...

A feeling inside since the age of about 3 years old that I long for something intensely, feeling a sick like feeling (not nausea) as a result of the emotion.

It is a longing sensation.

I have also felt that something will happen that's good one day.

As time went on, this feeling has got more and more intense.

When I developed cardiac arrhythmia previously, when it reached September 1st 2002, the emotion was so strong (feeling something good was going to happen) that I had a heart attack that day; but this is not the cause of the heart problem (that was caused by a chemical).

I told my mother about this feeling, and she just says "You have a special meaning or purpose" which it's self doesn't tell me anything about what is to happen, but she says "You will go to the highest place when you die".

She has no scientific proof of this.

She then said that this 'special meaning I have' was due to the disability of the mind, something she claimed to believe in accordance to her religion.

But my research showed nothing of the sort is mentioned in her religion's texts at all, so it makes me wonder how she could make such a claim.

Although something that was similar in nature that has been found is the information about 'Indigo children', but I don't think she know anything from this....

I am aware of a feeling of being drawn to freezing temperatures, I can withstand incredibly cold weather and I mean incredible cold.

How does this related to what she thinks?

Then I thought that I must have been in a place like the Arctic in the pre-mortal existence and that I would be going back to the freezing world.

I wanted to be there that much that it has resulted in these emotions.

I want to communicate what this feeling is like, feeling that something is going to happen. I called it 'Phoenix phenomenon', but unless you have felt it, you couldn't understand what I mean.

It feels like an extremely pleasant, very strange and a kind of forbidden feeling; kind of like you get when you eat chocolate when you’re on a diet.

It is profoundly extreme, deep and emotional (through the spirit and deep down).

I associate many things with it.

The phoenix means 'the new age', hence the name.

It is represented by shocking pink to me.

I remind me of how I like the cold.

However, one thing that cannot be explained is that before my mother told me anything about this; I felt this feeling strongly about 30 seconds before hand; she hadn't mentioned this issue before hand for about 10 years.

Back then, I thought she was crazy.

Today, many things happen; they have included flashes of light, amazing co-incidences and all kinds of incredible events.

Mystical incidents are common place now; many people have made comments about them when they knew nothing of it previously.

It will not be long before I die, I can feel I will die soon.

I don't know what to expect.

I can't stop asking "What is gonna to happen to me?"

Although there is this excitement in a pleasant way, the mysteriousness is making me feeling a feeling of slight fear, not real fear, but a feeling of "Uh-oh!”

It is like standing in a corridor that is ‘pitch dark’ at the other end, and I know what I want is supposed to be at the other end; but I can't be sure that it isn’t really h**l.

It is really strange to think about.

But I know I want to go into that pitch blackness to get to the other side, I will die regardless of what I do, so I may as well go down there.

It is a feeling like being in a room that is absolutely ‘pitch black’.

What is going to happen to me? Will I be OK?

I only wish someone can be with me as I go there, but they probably won't be.

I want to go there so very much, even though it feels really dark and mysterious.

The pleasure of going down there greatly outweighs the feeling of disconcertedness. (I want to go so very much; and the fear is slight, but still very real) It is best described as a feeling of 'awe'.

What do you think of going to happen to me?

Answer 1

After life is death.  Do you know anyone who's come back to tell about it in any other sense?

Answer 2

I was listening to this song just now, and I saw your question at the same time....so I offer you this musical bit of Winter.

Never have I met a question so disconnected to its details.

Paragraph 1: We all have delusions of granduer. My mom used to have 12 heart attacks a day, all imaginary.

Paragraph 2: Easy prediction used by every fake psychic: Something good/bad will happen.

P3: Longing is not a "good thing happening."

P4: Mom is crazy too. My mom says I will become a priest.

P5: A disability known as "mental illness." Divine crazys are ubiquitous in all religions. It explains away the crazy.

P6: Indigo Children, another psychic bs for dollars book.

P7: I like the cold too, am I an "indigo child"?

P8: Phoenix is a mythological bird that flies up from the ashes of a fire, not a "new age" anything.

P9: I am glad you are having pleasant hallucinations and ascribing spiritual meanings to them. Pink = cold. I turn pink when I am cold.

P10: often we psychologically recreate memories to match what we think people said to us. Sometimes people imagine they dreamt of a relative dying before a plane crash or whatever. You may be mythologizing your own spiritual experience.

P11: As our education system goes to pieces mysticism and literary "patent medicine" have taken over society. We are so dumb we will believe any kind of grabage.

P12: I have been sure of my immanent death for at least 40 years now. Don't be too disappointed if you live.

P13: It sounds like you are going through what most people go through when they approach 30. It is called realization of your own mortality. It is virtually a universal experience and you will get past it, usually without dying.

P14: You will die and be eatern by worms like the rest of us.

And lo, Yahoo Saith (when I copy their OWN statements!):

"You can use research to help support your answer."

"Hmm...it looks like you have a lot of punctuation."

"Oops! It looks like you have 1 misspelling(s)."

Answer 4

There's no afterlife, thus it has no meaning. You might do better with such questions in Religion & Spirituality, or Mythology & Folklore.  

Answer 5

afterlife is just another wording for upchuck

Answer 6

well done, but actually after die is meaningless, you better don't think about it too much... do what is need to do now..
