I suppose she missed my grandfather and felt lonely being on her own for so long and turned to the church... I would have turned to quite a few beers and burbon instead. She obviously truly believed in the afterlife and as you said the mind plays tricks. Phew... for a while there I thought I was a powerful evil entity and the only thing I was missing was a red fork.<BR/><BR/><I>Also, read the bible if you never have</I><BR/><BR/>Well I never have read the bible. As a kid we had to attend scripture classes at the Catholic church after school and I wasn't happy with what I was learning. I didn't believe half the crap they were coming out with so I didn't want to waste my time on a book that I wasn't too impressed with.<BR/>However if you think I should read it well then maybe I might.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the advice.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601621279156765067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031824543370830642.post-83806292693959016092008-10-22T20:09:00.000+11:002008-10-22T20:09:00.000+11:00Mikki:Thanks for stopping by...:)Interesting story...Mikki:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by...:)<BR/><BR/>Interesting story. My old gran was enthralled in death dreams for three days before she stopped. I sat with her and listened to some of the most amazing stories, was introduced to her childhood friends and watched her die with a smile on her face. She knew too, but there was no talk at all of religion although she was a staunch practicing Anglican her whole life.<BR/><BR/>I can see how that would make you think twice! The only advice I can give is that the mind plays tricks. Also, read the bible if you never have. The devil isn't mentioned till the NT and then only rarely until you get to Revelation, then he features in every second sentence. Where does that concept come from? Why the church of course...Plonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552546816593027504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031824543370830642.post-54425633116903452902008-10-19T16:29:00.000+11:002008-10-19T16:29:00.000+11:00Plonka your post was interesting indeed.

I think people want to believe in afterlife because they are trying to alleviate their fear of death itself. When my grandmother past away it made me think twice for a while. To cut a long story short, she was out cold for 3 days then awoke full of life. She then explained that it was her time and that they had sent her back to say her goodbyes. She also said that my grandfather (who died 35yrs earlier) was being called to tell him that she was on her way. She said her goodbyes to the family then it was my turn. She looked at me and king hit me and screamed that I was the devil. It freaked me out and like I said made me think twice. However if she was right and afterlife exists then I am the devil and earth must be hell.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601621279156765067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031824543370830642.post-26339048097846039352008-09-12T18:46:00.000+10:002008-09-12T18:46:00.000+10:00Nice one Dikkii.Maybe the body is the incubator an...Nice one Dikkii.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the body is the incubator and our time here is merely the gestation period?Plonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552546816593027504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031824543370830642.post-1138382975105825562008-09-12T13:14:00.000+10:002008-09-12T13:14:00.000+10:00Your post begged an interesting question actually....Your post begged an interesting question actually.<BR/><BR/>If there is a soul, and we require certain physiological, anatomical and biochemical attributes to think, feel and sense, then what is there to even tell a soul that it exists?<BR/><BR/>In other words, even if a soul came back (or "crossed over" if you like) how would it even comprehend existence? Let alone communicate it back?Dikkiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897381809885423712noreply@blogger.com
