Where Do Spirits Go After A Person Dies?

I don't think we can possibly understand any world beyond our own, we may guess and those of a religious faith may quantify their answers with copious religious script but in the end we have no definitive answer. I believe (because of just one spiritual experience) that there is an afterlife but I could never quantify it. A very good book to read in this respect is 'The Magicians Nephew' by C.S.Lewis. In this book Digory, the main character travels via a pool to another life, however, once there he can remember nothing of the world he has left behind, only very gradually does this come back to him. We leave our human body with it's memory rather as we might leave a P.C. And without it we would be hard pressed to remember much of our former experiences. Perhaps this accounts for the varied time taken by spirits to get back in touch and our lack of awareness when they do.

I know this wasn't my post, but trust me when I say I was reading the replies often. Anne thank you. That made total sense to me... ❤

exglabrum, you are right and any disrespectful (not to mention downright hateful) comments will get a person banned immediately. I've deleted the inflammatory comments and will ban any member not respecting another. There are plenty of websites available where hard doctrinal faiths can take their message to. This is a website for psychic, astral, and remote viewing help, not a sounding board for faith and how wrong other faiths are. Period.

Thanks,
Anne

For future reference, any questions about the afterlife will bring every militant Christian and Muslim out of the woodworks to argue about it.

It really depends upon what religion he had. I believe that every person is judged by how well they followed the rules of their own religion. In a way, there is no real way to tell though, because it is between him and God, and you cannot ever truly trust outward signs of a persons spiritual well-being. However, i'm sure he is in heaven, based off of what you said, and the feeling i'm getting. People will often come to a person they love in a dream or some non-visible, yet physical state, to say their last goodbyes.

Everyone, please stop arguing. This person came here looking for help, not to start a religious argument.

I am very grateful to you Anne, Calvin, Humindigold and Catty for your insights. ❤ ❤ ❤

First, my condolences on losing your boyfriend. That must have been so difficult!

Second, despite what religious zealots say, there is no straight shot to heaven or hell. There are a ton of near death experiencers that speak to the contrary as well as numerous credible mediums. Life after life is in many ways what life is here; we have relationships, we experiences places, keep learning, can attend classes, continue with passions and hobbies and eventually, when we're healed from the scars of this life, can ask to do it over again so that we can deepen our learning and compassion.

All of this life and the next is vibration and waves. We go to where we resonate with in the afterlife. You can call it any number of names from heaven/hell, the astral, but the principle is the same. The point of this life is to be the best person you can be and seek service to others versus service to self so that when you pass on, you ascend to a higher dimension/plane, etc. And while "hell" does exist in the form of a very low plane, everyone gets a chance to work themselves out of that place should they end up there after passing.

Your boyfriend made mistakes. There is not a reader on this board who has not also made mistakes. We all do. It's part of being human! This does not mean hell. It means we make mistakes, hopefully learn from them and if not, we're reincarnated to try again and again and again. God is too loving to send us to hell for any great period of time and based on what I'm hearing he did, he is not there so do not worry.

When your boyfriend passed on, he got to do a life review (we all do). He got to see and feel every good and bad deed he's ever done. The only person judging a person during a life review is themselves. This is why they tell us not to be judgmental because that attitude gets applied to our self when we die. We do our own judging. Once the life review happens we then (generally), are greeted by loved ones and there is much rejoicing. We then go to a place of healing to get all this physical trauma out of our system. Even the best human life has layers of mental debris that has to be processed. Once we go through that, then we join the communities that resonate with us. Some of course are higher vibrationally while some are lower. And every person who embraces a religion joins that corresponding community.

In summary, your boyfriend is probably very happy. He also knows exactly what you're feeling right now. He knows your pain and suffering and feels it as deeply as you. Every dimension can peer into the lower one so he can sense your dimension because he's higher than the physical. In time, you'll dream of him and there you can communicate and eventually heal.

Jesus might help you too. He's one of the prophet from human race. Because most of you including me can't see the manifestation of God, the prophets will tell you. Still human's God not Jesus Christ. He's a savior for human and he is a prophet of Allah (God). Every human has two angels whom writes the good and bad things you made. And they are located at your front and at your back. Not your sides! Check your speech and watch your thoughts, someone always log the word. The one who will log your words doesn't belong either from human or jinn. They are 2 angels who will do the job.

As far as I know there are only 2 races that couldn't be seen by human physical eyes. The jinn and the angel. Even though they've always been there but still most human will can never see them unless God let you to see which might faint you. Subtle creatures doesn't have human physical characteristics. Angel and Jinn can shift shape to anything they like. You'll have a difficulty when you want to differentiate them even though you can see them.

Hahahaha their worlds are more complex than ours. We don't have the abilities like they do so just mind our own realm's business. Let them mind their own business.

...thank you for all those who have helped. I know I loved him, but was not sure he loved me. One of his secret was that he was unfaithful to many people who loved him. I just feel torn that the person I loved was not the person I thought he was. What can I do? He is gone, but because I loved him so much, I just want him to rest in peace because I know he had a lot of burdens in this world, not including the ones he didn't tell me about 😢 I just wish I could give you all a group hug ❤

First spirits stay in this realm, world, demention, what ever you want to call it because they can't move forward. They have regrets or they haven't fulfilled something they were supposed to and can't move on until they do. I'm sure your boyfriend will reach his destination, don't worry about that part too much. Just grieve his death and get on with your life. I'm sure he will give you some sort o sign when he reaches heaven, or wherever he's going. He could go to you in your dreams or show up and tell you he's alright or maybe you could one day just get a feeling of relief.

I will use the mantra, you are right; it does neither one of us any good for me to keep going the way I am. He always said, "you're the only one who wants nothing from me." I thank you for your positive energy, I'm trying to cope really I am. I just hope that one day I can see him again. He was my first love. ❤

Starrynights,i saw three names as I focused my energies on his soul.Darren,Derick,and John. Perhaps you can relate to this.I'm not sure. The vibrations attached to the first name was the strongest. I keep seeing a man, standing by the window, the look of death and apology on his face, as the moon frames his sad face.He's wearing denims, no shoes, a white singlet, with a sky blue short sleeved shirt over it.It's night time, and he's watching someone sleep.I'm certain this is your boyfriend. You must let go. The mantra my dear! Use the mantra!

Hello again starrynights! I do understand that you feel "betrayed",betrayed that he didn't trust you enough to confide in you, knowing how much you loved him. I know you're hurting. In fact, i can feel how much, see the tears, and your bleeding heart. When I focus my energies on your boyfriend's spirit, I feel his pain aswell, and honestly, it far quadruples yours, as he cannot carry on the heaviness of regret, and this pain on to the next dimension,hence,his soul stays with you to find the peace he's never known, but your hurting, and tears worsens his state. In truth, even though he cared about a few people in his lifetime, he truely loved one person ("YOU!"),whom he didn't want sharing the burdens he believed were his, and his alone to carry. Imagine his frame of mind when he kept those things from you.Frankly,he felt he was protecting you, protecting you from himself that is the pure misery, his once bearable life had become.Listen! You must let go, and look on. All of your suffering is unproductive in every sense I tell you. It will be as easy as you make it my dear. Repeat this mantra for the both of you as often as possible with CONVICTION, and INTENT "Now our lives begin anew, peace with me, and peace with you. Peace with me, and peace with you".These words will evoke for you both, the new realities you both essentially require. I send you energies of pure love,light,and support in your successful resolve. Blessed be! All is now made well.

I appreciate all those who are helping me get through this. I really want to forgive him because I loved him so much and do not want to cause him any pain. I know I want to, I really do but it just hurts for now. Humindigold, your words are especially soothing, as he used to call me "my dear" all the time. If there is more for you to share, I certainly would appreciate your input. ❤

Yea it is true as what Humindigold said. Their soul will shift realm to where they should belong. They don't roam the earth anymore. If you felt his presence, it was just false signal instinct. They are the jinn and not your Boyfriend. May him rest in peace 😢.

I hope your Boyfriend have at least small amount of light in his heart. So that he will know how to answer those angels. After a human deceased, they are no longer permitted by God to repentance. I really really hope your Boyfriend passed the questions from these angel of death whose duty is to decide which soul goes where. No intention of scaring you but this is what really happen while in death.

Just ask those people who've experienced NDE. Either they will see angels with black figures or angels as bright as the sun.

Hello Starrynights! After reading your story,it's rather easy to deduce that you infact, feel strongly that your boyfriend's soul is not at peace, and in a way, is seeking that by making attempts to get it across to you, that he needs your absolute forgiveness. You clearly stated that a part of you is still "angry" at him for keeping so many secrets from you.You're constantly conflicted by the presence of such two strong emotions towards him. That is,"anger",almost nearly bordering on hate and repulsion, and "love" that obviously isn't enough to eliminate the former emotion. I will state the spiritual facts. You loved your boyfriend very much, and still do in fact, but recent events have upset the "not perfect, but beautiful bond" between the both of you, as beings existing purposefully in this universe, and it's safe to conclude that your boyfriend's soul is reacting to this, by making attempts at re-kindling what you both shared on a higher level, and is soliciting your complete forgiveness,for,in fact,it's important to him as you've always been one to see past his flaws, to love, and respect him regardless. The two dreams affirm this Dear one. I would say more, but ponder on these words if you please, and you'll realise that the answer to your quertion is you, and with you. You have to forgive him sincerely, and let go. Truely give him your blessing to move on, to continue.It's important for the both of you. One more thing. He loves you. He does. And to your first question, souls go where "they must, and need to go".Naturally,a new dimension. It really depends My dear. Every soul is boundlessly unique, and perfect that it goes where it must when it must. Blessed be!

I feel so sorry for you 😢 creatures either from human, jinn (ghost) or animal who've died, their soul will return to God. If he was a good person when they live, they will see angels with bright white faces like the sun when they die. If he was a bad person when they live, they will see angels with dark faces and dark clothing when they die. This is where they will be interviewed by these angels and they will ask you "Who is your God?" & "What is your religion?".

If the soul is going to be the citizen of heaven, the soul will be pulled up to the sky, pass the gate of heaven and reach where he should belong. If he is going to be the citizen of hell, the soul will be pulled up just until the sky of earth and they will be thrown down back to earth and reach the gate of hell. When you don't wear this human body anymore, you can pass through anything that was not penetrable by human body. You can no longer touch physical object. You only able to touch subtle objects. I mean those objects that you couldn't touch or see while stays human but those can be touch and see when you've left your physical body.

I got these information from Islam teachings. The prophet named Muhammad who told this story was a human that had been allowed by God to see what's supposed to be very hidden to human sight. Jesus is just savior for the human and don't really tell much of the world we don't suppose to see while as a human in flesh.

Why human's physical senses are limited by God? Why don't just God give us the senses to experience penetrates every realm in this universe? Because your God doesn't want to torture you. If you can see heaven and hell, this will scare the crap out of you. You will live in earth as in jail and will do good things every day and fear of making sins. This is how God made human, God made you to choose. Because earth is a test zone of human soul. That's why what is unseen to us remain unseen to us until your time has come. When

I can only help you to always remember the name of our God "Allah". Don't forget of what I've told you when your time in this world has several seconds left. You will see it by yourself who will be coming right in front of you. The world that was unseen to you while a human will appear right in between your eyes after you died.

I have one message for any of you who doesn't believe in God. "How will you see God when you can't even see the true form of a Jinn while they live side by side with every human". When you can see angels, you are so near to see God. God isn't a human or creature. God is a light brighter than 1000 sun.

I actually would like to hear others thoughts on this also, I lost my significant other the love of my life my *one* a little over a month ago. I feel him here all the time, I at times sense him hugging me, or riding with me in my car. We were together a very long time and I miss him alot. I still need closure on this. But to go back to the original question. What happens to someones soul when they die? Do they fumble about in another plain? Are they instantly reincarnated? Does it depend on various things?
