In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.

Salaam (Peace) to all.

The saying "You only live once" is reflective of a gross lack of understanding, and an inordinate degree of selfishness due to ignorance (lack of knowledge).

"You only live once" assumes that the only LIFE is the life we know in this realm. We may only live THIS PHASE of LIfe "once", but the end of THIS phase of Life is not the end of LIFE. How can I prove it? Well, proof is in the eye of the beholder; but I can present the evidence which leads me to this conclusion.

Relatively speaking, the sperm lives an entire lifetime. The "death" of the sperm is not the end of the Life that was IN the sperm...it just takes on a new phase and form. That new form, an embryo, grows into a fetus like a plant, its roots embedded in the earth (uterine wall). When that plant "dies" that is just the end of that PHASE, but NOT the end of the LIFE. It is born into a new phase, and takes on a new form.

Now, here we are, living out our lives...like the sperm...like the fetus...headed for yet another "end" of the "life" we know. But is it really the end of the LIFE?...or just the end of this PHASE of LIFE?

Everything we encounter in this life teaches us that LIFE is full of repeating Cycles. Is our existence any different?

Is man really so arrogant as to believe that his present state and form is the apex of existence? Is there nothing more? Is there no higher truth to be discovered and manifested? If not, then shoot me now!!!...lol.

Just my two.

SALAAM,

WELL, NO BODY EVER CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD TO, TELL ME ANYTHING!

BESIDES PEOPLES' "BELIEF", I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE HAS HAD THAT EXPERIENCE.

IF YOU HAVE,TELL US ABOUT IT!

Of course no one came back from the dead to tell you anything, nor could they...any more than you could go back into your mother's womb, or the fetus go back to being a sperm. There is no going back to that which you leave behind, but that does not make it the end of LIFE...just the end of a particular phase or form of Life.

When your body dies your soul will move on. The soul and spirit are real. For those who want more proof then there has been souls caught on video. While usually in another dimension the human naked eye cant see it can travel interdimensionally.

Having said that your soul is shaped like a human body and usually trapped inside the body unless you are able to travel with it without are body. If you can do that then you would have boundless traveling potential. Some call it astral traveling, an outer body experience(OBE) all depending on what level you are able to perform with it.

So where does it go when you die? Hell , somewhere in between , or Heaven. Those places can be anywhere.

Hell is like a weight lifting machine in a way. It makes you stronger to have more discipline from temptation, evilness,etc. in your next life. But I dont think its a very good feeling at all.I would make sure I get to heaven. If you dont make at least maybe youll be in between.

Heaven can be your best dreams x nine to the ninth power.

Your soul is why you have the good emotions such as compassion. Your spirit is your life force. Its the main ingredient in life. All life including plants have a spirit which would also mean they have intelligence.

People who havebeen taken over by the evil one have been forced to put their soul in the background and their good spirit has been replaced with the evil ones spirit.

And I did not get this from that White man that comes on BET at 3 AMthat says he istelling facts. He and BET are together and ona completely diffrent team than me.

Doesn't matter where you got it from, it's wrong anyway. Talking about the soul in the third person normally is a dead give away.

If the following is you're idea of "telling more.." then it's you who needs to do more "research".

Everyone, I tend to believethe Soul does travel on and on, and whether it be good or evil. I also tend to believethat dreams do tell some stories.

Back in 1994, I had such a vivid and wonderful dream, and upon wakening, I felt like I'd lived before. I was in Africa, was an African woman,and what gave thataway was that I was speaking another lanquage, and the visions of my surroundings looked straight out of Africa.

Myself and some other women were near a grove of trees, sort of short and rounded type of trees. There was a big open area of beautiful green grass all around. The sun shone brightly in the sky. It was astunningly beautiful area. Our children were insight andplaying. We were doing some type of chores. I want to say, we were picking berries or plants, or gathering something. It feltso natural, andseemed as ifwe did those chores most often. Although with the good feelings abound, they didn't feel like chores. Our hearts were free and filled up with good cheer and love.

We all had on sarong type of colorful dresses that wrapped around our breasts and fell to the ground. We were barefoot, etc. I could tellwe were very happy, and we were chatting away and laughing in between. It seemed very clear that we had husbands, because we discussed them and giggled about them. I was aware they were away hunting or doing whatever chores they did.

Again, it was a very wonderful dream, and it is only one of about three dreams I've ever had in my life where they was so clear and vivid. The other dreams I had, I knew the main characters. One of which was about a friend I had as a teen in Germany. In that dream, I was back there, and myself and another friend would always go back to the neighborhood we once lived looking for the other friend. But the dream out of Africa was new, fresh and from centuries ago, or at least a couple of them. I can honestly say that from thetime of that dreamuntil now,IbelieveI lived before as an African woman and in Africa. So may haps, my soul has lived more than once.

It was thestrongest feeling I've ever experienced as it pertained to wishing I was still in a dream. I was almost shaken with the intensity of how I remembered everything about the dream. Did I mention how beautiful everything was in it? LOL!

IT IS A FOREVER TAKING PROCESS WHICH IS A LONG TIME. YOU DONT SEE IT BECAUSE THE HUMAN LIFE ON EARTH IS LIKE A PEBBLE ON THE BEACH AS FOR AS TIME IS CONCERNED.

salaam,

Brother "one zero seven", what you have stated makes sense.


So where does it go when you die? Hell , somewhere in between , or Heaven. Those places can be anywhere.

Is thereany proof these are "places"?

TO TIMELINE: Those are good questions.

There is existense outside of space and time in a way.But as long as you are in your human body there will be a past , present , and future. If you are just the soul and or spirit by itself then space and time is really meaningless because you wouldnt be concerned with such things.

TO SOLOMON: Proof is not the same for everybody. It can be right in front of a person and they still wont see it. Some people look for it and find it. Others run away from it and remain in denial. I call that running away from the truth or ignoring the truth.(Ignorance)
