The afterlife begins with three days when the disembodied soul remains locally and in relationship to the surviving family. The three day stay is followed by the departure of the soul to eternity. Many ancient cultures, especially the Chumash Amerindians of California, report three days for the soul's localization. Might this be culturally important to the Christian story of Jesus Christ rising on the third day? Afterlife begins with 3 local days followed by departure of the soul to eternity according to Chumash Indians.
Scientists and the U.S. Department of Defense are taking reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP/UFO) much more seriously now. Does this amount to a sea change beyond the giggle factor? Are UFOs Real? A seachange of acceptance among scientists.
New Age Astral bodies. Ancient Egyptian Ka's. Jewish Angels. Are these what the afterlife holds? How does an immortal body compare to the mortal one we shed at death? Astral body? Ka? Angel? Who'll you be in the afterlife?
Death in naturalism is considered natural. Only natural. When yer dead, yer dead. Get over it. Don't ask for more. That's answer to the afterlife question. Death in naturalism means: when yer dead, yer dead! Get over it.
Even though the Grim Reaper comes to us all, our anxiety leads us to deny death as long as we can. But, denial of death leads to sin, to trying to steal the life force from our neighbors. Can faith relieve our anxiety and reduce our sinning against our neighbors? Denial of death enkindles the fires of sin. Ugh!
