Reincarnation

dies. And so, the question is, is that it? What happens to you after you die? Human beings are the only animals on earth who understand they will one day die. I do believe there is life after death due to believing in Christianity, Resurrection, Reincarnation and then Paranormal phenomena. The ideas that make the least amount of sense to me would be that we cease to exist after death and the dependence of the mind. Christianity developed from Judaism. This religion believed originally that when…

The Death Traditions of World Religions There is no questioning that all beings on Earth inevitably die, however; each global religion has their own traditions pertaining to life’s final chapter. As a matter of fact, there is no concrete knowledge of the after life. Each religion reflects their personal values and teachings through their beliefs of the events that follow death. While researching, I discovered that some religious beliefs are alike, some very different, and some intertwined with…

I believe that it is possible for human life to be meaningful. I have this way of thinking because embracing our values can bring meaning to our lives, if we truly embrace them (Rachels, 2012, p. 173). Having personal relationships that are meaningful can also add a sense of happiness to our lives. There is nothing more worthwhile then having people that reciprocate your love. Therefore, family and friends are essential. In addition to this, a meaningful life can be one in which you are proud…

The three earliest letters of Paul combined present an in depth view of life after death and resurrection of Christ. This essay will aim to uncover texts of particular relevance through 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15. Paul titles his teachings “the gospel I preached you” (1 Corr 15:1), which is strong indication of the emphasis and passion he puts forth in issues of such particular nature. He is aware of his following within the community and understands that his teaching has a crucial…

Religion and culture both have influence on views regarding death and dying in the Western World. This essay will show the impact this influence may have on views today. Religion is defined in the Oxford English dictionary as “Belief… which is typically manifested in obedience, reverence, and worship; such a belief as part of a system defining a code of living, esp. as a means of achieving spiritual or material improvement.” (2014). Culture on the other hand is defined as “The distinctive ideas…

Death is depressingly an inevitable consequence of life on all living things. Although life on Earth maybe very similar for all human beings, their belief in what happens after one passes away are very different. Some argue that there is no life after death at all, and life on earth is everything. While, on the other hand, others argue that there is life after death but even so, their interpretation of what life after death will exactly be like, also differs a lot from one another. This further…

Plato’s Phaedo is set in the city of Philius where a follower of Socrates, named Phaedo, meets Echecrates, a thinker. Echecrates was very interested in Socrates’s final hours before he died and Phaedo was the best person to tell the story since he was present on Socrates’s last day. In Phaedo, there are two separate degrees of narration: Phaedo is telling Echecrates the story of Socrates and Socrates’s final philosophical discussion prior to his death. The reason for Socrates’s death was that…

The idea of karma in Western Civilization has grown to an exponential misunderstanding of the true meaning behind the word. We see karma in almost every TV/Movie program and all, give the wrong definition of the truth behind the word karma. Karma is the “sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.”(Wikipedia) Karma is not about helping an old man cross the street and then you being rewarded with the winning numbers to…
