Where Is The Soul? Where Do We Go After Death?

“To be reborn as Angels, Humans, animals, or in Hell is not commanded by God. It is one’s own Karma that destined one’s own fate.”

Buddha discovered that everything in this World is in energy form from coarse to very fine level. Human consists of two parts: Physical Body and Mind Energy.

The Soul or Mind Energy is in every part of the body. Any part of the body that has feelings is where the Soul or Mind Energy resides. A DEAD BODY has no feelings. Feelings define Humans. Therefore, every part of the body is where the Mind is.

Mind and body are different types of energy form; they join together for some time. When the body deteriorates to the point of what Buddhism calls ‘expiration of life’, the Mind will have to leave the body to find a new home.

By Law of Physics, Energy never disappears. It only changes form.

Death is a state of changing form. A Physical Body which is coarse changes to its original element of dirt. And for the Mind (Soul), it floats out of the body in the process of finding a new home or new form to live in again due to Karma (Deeds) residing in the subconscious.

The Soul’s new realm of rebirth is determined by its good Deeds or bad Deeds. Bad Deeds are heavy while good Deeds are light. The quality of the Mind Energy will classify itself on the next rebirth. To be reborn as Angels, Humans, animals, or in Hell is not commanded by God. It is one’s own Karma that destined one’s own fate. If the Mind is still not pure from embedded toxins or the Impurity Force, it will not be free from gravity and get pulled by magnetic waves. This causes rebirth over and over, travelling in the Samsara and being stuck in the Whirlpool of Energy.

Medical science only gives importance to the Physical Body because they can’t develop any tool that is fine enough to detect the Mind Energy.

The Mind Energy consists of four parts:

  1. Consciousness – It is awareness or knowing everything, near or far, or within oneself. Consciousness works as a sense of ethics, moral judgment of what’s right or wrong.
  2. Perception or Memory – In medical science, it says that the brain is responsible for memory. But how can a Spirit or a Soul without a Physical Body remember the past or people that they know, or even a past life? So, the brain is not our only memorization tool. It is this part of the Human Mind called Perception that stores the memory.
  3. Feelings or Sensations.
  4. Subconscious or Mental Formations – It acts as the emotional warehouse, recording mental formations from all strong emotions such anger, hatred, and illusion.

 

These four parts of the Mind work simultaneously and faster than an ordinary Mind can detect. Scientific instruments are not advanced enough to capture the energy wave of a Soul or Spirit.

This is the story of a nun who could recall her past lives. In her previous life, she was born as an elephant that was separated from her mother and eventually died of grief. As her Soul was back to rebirth and pulled by her own Karma, she felt trapped in a small, confined space. It was difficult to move. It was when her Soul found a home inside a woman’s womb. After nine months, her new mother gave birth to her.

Now a newborn baby, she cried. Her Soul, now residing in the body, still thought of herself as an elephant with big body and became curious why everything was so tiny and that she couldn’t move or talk as she wanted.

The transition between different dimensions or realms creates a connection, leading to confusion usually reflected in the bewildered eyes of newborns. We see their expression as adorable and innocent because the World of Ignorance often turns things upside down.
