Why we’re unlikely to ever know God and afterlife
I’ve written we’re unlikely to ever know God and afterlife rather than never because life tends to surprise us and who knows what’s discovered tomorrow. But, for now, as it’s been for thousands of years, the veil between life and death is impenetrable. It’s one thing to theorize about what awaits us after death. It’s another to make categorical claims about afterlife. A religious scholar, a priest, or a rabbi who says, ”I don’t know what awaits us in the afterlife,” shows humility and understanding that some things aren’t for us to know when we’re on this side of the veil. Some things are God’s. And God is beyond our perception. We label God as just or cruel, but these are our labels. God just is. How can you imagine a self-aware infinity?
What about the psychics, ouija boards, and others? What about near-death experiences and electronic voice phenomena, where people allegedly use electronic devices to communicate with the dead? Indeed, there’s a whole town in the US where psychics claim to make it oh-so-easy to communicate with the deceased.
One religious scholar told me that the, ”spiritual reality isn’t something we should be thinking too much about.” He didn’t mean to censor anyone; rather, the spiritual reality is so far-removed from our experience, trying to make sense out of it while here, on Earth, is a waste of time, because all our theorizing and philosophizing might be in vain when we finally pass on. Then, there are those who believe whatever your state of mind is when you die, that’s exactly what you’re going to recreate over there, on the other side. If it exists, of course.
Perhaps the spirit guide phenomenon can tell us a bit about afterlife in a sort of reverse-engineering manner. Instead of asking questions about the afterlife, let’s look at what we could already know about the afterlife and what it could tell us about the world beyond the veil. Let’s say spirit guides are real. Who are they? There are all sorts of spirit guides, apparently, but I mean people who once lived on Earth. Now, on the other side of the veil, they either choose someone to help out here on Earth or are assigned people to help here on Earth. We don’t know. If they are assigned people to help, it could be some sort of penance for them, for example. I can certainly see, say, a Z-propagandist who is ordered by God to help guide a Ukrainian. Logical, right? Well, it’s our human logic. Spirit guides are people who share some sort of connection with the person they are helping. Maybe they went through similar experiences in life, maybe they share similar passions, who knows, there are many reasons. If God assigns or orders these punished souls in the afterlife to guide people on Earth, then the Creator is the best matchmaker ever and His choices are flawless. Spirit guides can be total strangers who God pairs with people on Earth because they are a perfect match.
Spirit guides allegedly communicate via synchronicities and all sorts of signs. Music is big, too. So, you have a problem and your spirit guide obviously knows that. And right there and then, you hear lyrics that hit you hard. Somewhere in those lyrics, there’s a sentence, or a word, that is exactly what you need to hear to solve your problem. Spirit guides also engineer events. Now, to do all that, they must have a level of understanding of reality far greater than us. They must see much more than we do here on Earth. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to engineer events. Either their perception becomes vastly greater after death or it’s God who helps these guides do their job. Fascinating, huh? The theory, if it even can be called a theory, that our awareness expands after death, has been around for a long time, just as the belief that consciousness creates the universe, and is fundamental to the universe, rather than a mere accident.
What about the rapture? That’s a controversial one to many. From what we can tell, the rapture doesn’t seem to respect any kind of Earthly bonds. In the movies about the rapture, people vanish, and it doesn’t matter if they are children and parents. A child can vanish and a parent can be left behind. It would mean the rapture is a highly individualized event where each person is judged by God or deemed by God to be worthy to be taken to heaven. The rapture, the way it’s described, is also eerily similar to alien abdctions. The whole thing is strange. The rapture is one of those things in Christianity that’s likely as controversial as purgatory. Heaven can be anything, hell can be anything, purgatory can be anything.
Maybe there’s a soul stuck in hell right now – the soul has offended a Chinese psychic who was actually God in disguise. The soul finds a way to write on more serious topics not to think about the teasing of demons. The soul must learn Hebrew and dance the Cha-Cha. Even that soul’s prayers aren’t taken that seriously by God anymore.
People who haven’t passed on are unlikely to ever know the truth, no matter how many claims are made. We could be right on the money or way off-base about everything.
As such, any ”We know we’re saved and you’re not because only we know the Divine Truth” statements scream ”We’re a cult.” I’m not sure if God likes that kind of mindset, truth be told. The ones who categorically claim to know what God wants from us just might be in for a shock right after they pass on to the other side.
