Does the soul of a deceased person see loved ones, relatives and his own death? How do they become angels? Do the dead have a guardian angel?

In these cases, the deceased is usually met by two Angels. This is how the author of “Incredible for Many...” describes them: “And as soon as she (the old nurse) uttered these words (“Heavenly kingdom, eternal rest...”), two Angels appeared next to me, in one of which I for some reason - “I recognized my Guardian Angel, but the other was unknown to me.” Later, one pious wanderer explained to him that it was a “counter angel.” St. Theodore, whose path after death through aerial ordeals is described in the life of St. Basil the New (10th century, March 26), says: “When I was completely exhausted, I saw two Angels of God approaching me in the form of beautiful young men; their faces were bright, their eyes looked with love, the hair on their heads was white as snow and shone like gold; the clothes looked like the light of lightning, and on the chest they were girded crosswise with golden belts.” 6th century Gallic bishop, St. Salvius describes his experience of death as follows: “When my cell shook four days ago and you saw me lying dead, I was raised by two Angels and carried to the very top of heaven” (St. Gregory of Tours. History of the Franks. VII, 1).

The duty of these Angels is to accompany the soul of the deceased on its journey to the afterlife. There is nothing uncertain either in their appearance or in their actions - having a human appearance, they firmly grasp the “subtle body” of the soul and lead it away. “The Bright Angels took her (soul) into their arms” (St. Theodore). “Taking me by the arms, the Angels carried me straight out of the room through the wall...” (“Incredible for many...”). St. Salvius was "raised up by two Angels." Similar examples could be continued.

Therefore, it cannot be argued that the “luminous being” from modern cases, which has no visible form, does not accompany the soul anywhere, which draws the soul into conversation and shows it “reverse frames” of its past life, is an Angel accompanying it to the afterlife. Not every being who appears as an Angel is really an Angel, because Satan himself takes the form of an Angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14). And therefore, about creatures that do not even have the appearance of Angels, we can say with confidence that they are not Angels. For a reason that we will try to explain below, in modern “post-mortem” experiences there seem to never be certain encounters with Angels.

Then could it not be that in reality the “luminous being” was a demon masquerading as an Angel of Light to tempt the dying person as his soul left the body? Dr. Moody (Life After Life, pp. 107-108, Reflections, pp. 58-60) and other researchers do raise this question, but only to dismiss this possibility in connection with the "good" the effect that this phenomenon produces on the dying person. Of course, the views of these researchers on evil are naive to the extreme. Dr. Moody believes that "Satan seems to command his servants to follow the path of hatred and destruction" (Life After Life, p. 108) and appears to be completely unfamiliar with Christian literature describing the real nature of demonic temptations, which are invariably presented to their victims as something “good”.

What is the Orthodox teaching about demonic temptations at the hour of death? St. Basil the Great in his interpretation of the words of the psalm: save me from all my persecutors and deliver me; lest he, like a lion, pluck out my soul (Ps. 7:2-3), gives the following explanation: “I think that about the courageous ascetics of God, who throughout their entire lives fought quite invisible enemies, when they have escaped all their persecution, being at the end of their lives, the prince of this age inquires in order to keep them with him, if there are wounds on them received during the struggle, or any stains and imprints of sin. And if they are found unwounded and unsullied, then as invincible, as free, they will be laid to rest by Christ. Therefore, the Prophet prays for the future and real life. Here he says: save me from those who persecute, and there during the trial: deliver me, lest a lion snatch away my soul. And you can learn this from the Lord Himself, Who, before suffering, says: The prince of this world comes, and has nothing in Me (John 14:30)” (vol. 1, p. 104).

Indeed, not only Christian ascetics have to face the demonic test at the hour of death. St. John Chrysostom in his “Conversations on the Evangelist Matthew” figuratively describes what happens to ordinary sinners during death: “Therefore you will hear many stories about horrors at the last end and terrible phenomena, the very sight of which is unbearable for the dying, so that those lying on the bed shake it with great force and look fearfully at those ahead, while the soul tries to stay in the body and does not want to be separated from it, horrified by the vision of the approaching Angels. For if we, looking at terrible people, tremble, then what will be our torment, how will we see the approaching angels of terrible and inexorable forces, when they will drag our soul and tear it away from the body, when it will cry a lot, but in vain and to no avail" ( Conversation 53, vol. 3, pp. 414-415).

Orthodox lives of saints are full of stories about such demonic spectacles at the moment of death, the purpose of which is usually to frighten the dying person and make him despair of his own salvation. For example, St. Gregory in his “Conversations” talks about one rich man who was a slave to many passions: “Shortly before his death he saw vile spirits standing in front of him, fiercely threatening to carry him into the depths of hell... The whole family gathered around him, crying and groaning. Although they could not, according to the patient himself, by the pallor of his face and by the trembling of his body, understand that there were evil spirits there. In mortal fear of these terrible visions, he tossed on his bed from side to side... And now almost exhausted and despairing of any relief, he shouted:

“Give me until the morning! Just be patient until the morning!” And with this his life was interrupted” (IV, 40). St. Gregory talks about other similar cases, as does Bede in his “History of the English Church and People” (Book V, ch. 13, 15). Even in 19th-century America, such cases were not uncommon; a recently published anthology contains stories from the last century with titles like: “I'm on fire, get me out!”, “Oh, save me, they're dragging me away!”, “I'm going to hell!” and “The Devil Comes to Drag My Soul to Hell” (John Myers. Voices on the Edge of Eternity. Spire Books, Old Tappan, N.J., 1973, pp. 71, 109, 167, 196).

However, Dr. Moody reports no such thing: in fact, in his book, all the experiences of dying people (with the noteworthy exception of suicide, see pp. 127-128) are pleasant ones - whether Christians or non-Christians, religious people or not. On the other hand, Drs. Osis and Haraldson found something not so far from this experience in their research.

These scientists found in their studies of American cases the same thing as Dr. Moody: the appearance of otherworldly visitors is perceived as something positive, the patient accepts death, the experience is pleasant, causes calm and elation and often the cessation of pain before death. In studies of Indian cases, at least one third of the patients who saw the phenomena experienced fear, oppression and anxiety as a result of the appearance of "yamduts" ("death harbingers", Hindi) or other creatures; these Indians resist or try to avoid otherworldly messengers. Thus, in one case, a dying Indian office worker said: “Someone is standing here! He has a cart, it’s probably Yamdut. He must be taking someone with him. He’s teasing me that he wants to take me!.. Please hold me, I don’t want to!” His pain increased, and he died (“At the Hour of Death,” p. 90). One dying Indian suddenly said: “Here comes Yamdut to take me away. Take me out of bed so that Yamdut doesn’t find me.” He pointed out and up: “There he is.” The hospital room was on the first floor. Outside against the wall of the building there was a big tree, on whose branches many crows sat. As soon as the patient had this vision, all the crows suddenly left the tree with great noise, as if someone had fired a gun. We were surprised by this and ran out through open door rooms, but did not see anything that could disturb the crows. Usually they were very calm, so all of us present were very fond of the fact that the crows flew away with great noise just when the patient had a vision. It was as if they, too, felt something terrible. When this happened, the patient lost consciousness and a few minutes later gave up the ghost (pp. 41-42). Some yamduts have a terrible appearance and cause even greater fear in the dying person.

This is the biggest difference between the American and Indian dying experiences in the studies of Drs. Osis and Haraldson, but the authors do not find an explanation for it. Naturally, the question arises: why is there one element almost completely absent from the modern American experience - the fear caused by terrible otherworldly phenomena, so common both to the Christian experience of the past and to the present Indian experience?

We do not need to define precisely the nature of the appearances to the dying person to understand that, as we have seen, they depend to some extent on what the dying person expects or is prepared to see. Therefore, Christians of past centuries, who had a living belief in hell and whose conscience at the end of life accused them, often saw demons before death... Modern Hindus, who, of course, are more “primitive” than Americans in their beliefs and their understanding, often see creatures that live up to their still very real fears regarding the afterlife. And modern "enlightened" Americans see phenomena consistent with their "comfortable" lives and beliefs, which generally do not include any real fear of hell or belief in the existence of demons.

In fact, the demons themselves offer temptations that are consistent with the spiritual consciousness or expectations of those being tempted. For those who fear hell, demons can appear in a terrible form so that a person dies in a state of despair. But to those who do not believe in hell (or to Protestants who believe that they are securely saved and therefore do not fear hell), demons would naturally offer some other temptations that would not reveal their evil intentions so clearly. In the same way, to a Christian ascetic who has already suffered enough, demons can appear in such a form in order to tempt him, and not to intimidate him.

A good example of this kind is the temptation by demons at the hour of death of the martyr Maura (3rd century). After she was crucified on the cross for nine days with her husband, the martyr Timothy, the devil tempted her. The lives of these saints tell how the martyr Mavra herself told about her temptations to her husband and partner in suffering: “Cheer up, my brother, and drive away sleep from yourself; Wake and understand what I saw: it seemed to me that before me, as if in admiration, there was a man who had in his hand a cup filled with milk and honey. This man said to me: “Take this and drink it.” But I told him: “Who are you?” He answered: “I am the Angel of God.” Then I told him: “Let’s pray to the Lord.” Then he told me: “I came to you in order to ease your suffering. I saw that you were very hungry and thirsty, since until now you had not eaten any food.” Again I said to him: “Who prompted you to show me this favor? And what do you care about my patience and fasting? Don’t you know that God is able to create even what is impossible for people?” When I prayed, I saw that the man was turning his face to the west. From this I understood that it was a satanic deception; Satan wanted to tempt us on the cross. Then soon the vision disappeared. Then another man came up, and it seemed to me that he led me to a river flowing with milk and honey, and said to me: “Drink.” But I answered: “I have already told you that I will not drink water or any other earthly drink until I drink the cup of death for Christ my Lord, which He Himself will dissolve for me with salvation and immortality of eternal life.” When I said this, that man drank from the river, and suddenly both he and the river disappeared with him” (“The Life of the Holy Martyrs Timothy and Maura,” May 3). It is clear what caution a Christian must exercise when receiving “revelations” at the time of death.

So, the hour of death is truly a time of demonic temptations, and those spiritual experiences that people receive at this time (even if it seems that this happens “after death,” which will be discussed below) should be assessed according to the same Christian the same standards as any other spiritual experience. Likewise, the spirits that may be encountered at this time must be subjected to a comprehensive test, which the Apostle John expresses as follows: test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1).

Some of the critics of modern “posthumous” experiences have already pointed out the similarity of the “luminous being” with the “spirit guides” and “spirit friends” of mediumistic spiritualism. Therefore, let us briefly consider the spiritualistic teaching in that part where it speaks of “luminous beings” and their messages. One classic work on Spiritualism (J. Arthur Hill. Spiritualism. Its History, Phenomena and Teachings. George H. Doran Co., New York, 1919) states that Spiritualist “teaching is always, or practically always, in accordance with high moral standards; in relation to faith it is always theistic, always respectful of it, but not very interested in such intellectual subtleties as interested the Fathers of the Church Councils” (p. 235). The book then notes that the "key" and "central doctrine" of spiritualistic teaching is love (p. 283), and that from spirits spiritualists receive "glorious knowledge" which obliges them to carry out missionary work to spread "the knowledge that life after there really are deaths” (pp. 185-186) and that “perfect” spirits lose the “limitations” of personality and become more “influences” than personalities, becoming more and more filled with “light” (pp. 300-301). Indeed, in their hymns the spiritualists literally invoke “luminous beings”:

"Blessed servants of light,

Hidden from mortal eyes...

The messengers of light went in the middle of the night,

To open the eyes of our hearts..."

(pp. 186-187)

All this is enough to doubt the “luminous being” that is now appearing to people who know nothing about the nature and insidiousness of demonic tricks. Our suspicion only increases when we hear from Dr. Moody that some describe this creature as an "amusing personality" with a "sense of humor" who "entertains" and "amuses" the dying person (Life After Life, p. 49, 51). Such a being, with its “love and understanding,” is in fact remarkably similar to the trivial and often good-natured spirits at seances, which, without any doubt, are demons (if the seances themselves are not scams).

This fact has led some to dismiss as demonic deception all reports of “after-death” experiences, and one book written by evangelical Protestants argues that “there are new and unknown dangers in all this life-and-death deception. Even vague belief in reported clinical experiences, we believe, can have serious consequences for those who believe in the Bible. More than one sincere Christian has fully believed that the luminous being is none other than Jesus Christ and, unfortunately, these people can be fooled very easily." (John Weldon and Zola Levitt, "Is There Life After Death?", Harvest House Publishers, Irvine, Calif., 1977, p. 76). In addition to pointing out the undoubted fact that a number of post-mortem experience researchers are also interested in the occult and even have contact with mediums, the book's authors, in support of this assertion, draw a number of remarkable parallels between modern post-mortem experiences and the experiences of mediums and occultists of the recent past (p. 64-70).

There is, of course, a lot of truth in these observations. Unfortunately, without a complete Christian teaching about the afterlife, even the most well-intentioned “Bible believers” are mistaken, rejecting along with an experience that may turn out to be a demonic deception, and a genuine afterlife experience of the soul. And, as we will see, these people themselves are capable of believing the deceptive “posthumous” experience.

Drs Osis and Haraldson, who both had "direct experience with mediums", note some similarities between the phenomena of the dying and the experience of spiritualism. However, they note a significant, “conspicuous discrepancy” between them: “Instead of continuing the mundane life (as described by mediums), death survivors choose to begin an entirely new way of life and activity” (“At the Hour of Death,” p. 200). In fact, the realm of “posthumous” experience does not seem completely different from the realm of ordinary mediumship and spiritualism, but it is still a realm where demonic deceptions and suggestions are not only possible, but positively to be expected, especially in those times of death. last days, in which we live, when we witness more and more subtle spiritual temptations, even great signs and wonders, in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect (Matthew 24:24).

Therefore, we should at least be very careful with the “light beings” that seem to appear at the moment of death. They are very similar to demons who introduce themselves as “Angels of Light” in order to seduce not only the dying person himself, but also those to whom he will subsequently tell his story if he is brought back to life (the possibility of which, of course, the demons are well aware of).

Ultimately, however, our judgment of this and other "after-death" phenomena must be based on the teaching that follows from them, whether it is given by some spiritual being seen at the moment of death, or is simply implied, or is inferred from these phenomena.

Some of those who "died" and were brought back to life - usually those who were or became very religious - identified the "luminous being" they encountered not with an Angel, but with the invisible presence of Christ himself. For these people, such an experience is often associated with another phenomenon, which for Orthodox Christians is perhaps the most mysterious at first glance phenomenon encountered in modern after-death experiences - the vision of "heaven."

Can a deceased relative become a Guardian Angel?

Deceased relatives sometimes take care of the living. But not always. Why? Firstly, a relative who has passed on to another world must be in sufficient high world, that is, not to go to the so-called hell, because from there he will not be able to help anyone. Secondly, this person must love the relatives remaining on earth so much that he can help them correctly. And thirdly, the relatives living on earth should really need his care.

Deceased people rarely become guardian angels of their earthly relatives, since when they find themselves in less dense worlds after earthly life, they, at least at first, enjoy their stay there and relax. A person gets tired of earthly life, physical death deprives him of many difficulties, and, finding himself in the so-called paradise, he can completely forget himself and be enchanted by the charm of extraphysical existence. If you think about a departed relative and ask him for help, then it is more likely that he will turn his attention to your problems. But this is not entirely correct. Why bother the dead with the problems of the living? Man has lived his life, used up the energy given to him for earthly life, why would we return him to earthly problems again? By attracting people who have left the earth with earthly problems, telling them that we miss them, that we miss them, we thereby interfere with their journey in the subtle world, ground them, burden their soul.

There is no need to disturb those who have left unless absolutely necessary. We can help them rise to higher and more beautiful worlds by our non-attachment to them. A loved one left you, and therefore not only your life, but also his, has changed a lot. He may need strength to transition to another world and to adapt to a new life. With our sighs and tears we will only complicate the movement of his soul. When a person who left the earth settles down in the subtle world, he himself will decide whether to help us or whether there is no point in it.

If you once established a deep spiritual connection with someone who is now in the other world, perhaps this person will take care of you to the best of his ability. Especially if your White Moon is in the sign of Cancer.

As a rule, a person feels when one of his ancestors is helping him. If you do not feel the support of your deceased loved ones, then do not ask them to provide it to you. It would be more accurate to cry out for help to God, to your Guardian Angel.

D Good afternoon, dear visitors of the Orthodox website “Family and Faith”!

What happens to the soul when it leaves the body worries every believer (and not so much)! This topic is burning!

Who meets the soul on the other side of life? The Guardian Angel comes right away, or not? Ordeals - what is it?

Priest Daniel (Sysoev) gives an explanation to all these questions, adding stories from the other life to his explanations!

« A The Guardian Angel, of course, meets a person after death. The Christian is met by two Angels: the Guardian Angel and the Guide Angel. They lead a person to the afterlife. He is also met by at least two evil spirits: the tempting angel and the downward guiding angel. This usually happens on the third day or on the very first day if a person really wants to go to heaven. The saints usually didn’t linger, didn’t wait for anything, they immediately went to heaven and that’s it. “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:2C. If a person has great property in heaven, what should he expect? Maybe he wants to quickly take over his rights? So, if he has a beloved groom there, what should he to do on earth? When a person rises into the air, he encounters the outposts of the princes of darkness, which are usually called ordeals. Even the Mother of God, when she went to her Son, before the Assumption of Ero, prayed that He would protect Her from the aerial ordeals. And the holy martyr Eustratius, whose Our prayer is read on midnight Saturday, I also prayed to God that He would deign to pass by the tollhouses, and therefore we, too, must pray to God to protect us.

Ordeals are the last attempt to tempt a person. Ordeals are the last attempt of a person to seduce and destroy. They are inevitable for people, because they will have to go through this area. The question is how inevitable? As I said, whoever takes communion immediately rises to heaven, and he bypasses the ordeal, but the demons scatter in different directions...

There was one famous deacon in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, he died in 1960. Father Tikhon Agrikov said that this hierodeacon served the Liturgy and received communion, consumed the Holy Lara and went to his cell to rest. Fell asleep and didn't wake up. And then, right in his cell, Fr. Tikhon prayed to God that his afterlife would be revealed.

He appeared to him on the fortieth day, happy, glowing with joy. And then Fr. Tikhon asks: “How did you go through the ordeal?” He says: “You know, by virtue of Holy Communion I flew past,” and the demons fled in different directions, because he received the Body and Blood of the Lord. Do you understand? This is the best protection.

And at the same time, intense prayer provokes attacks from demons. Ascetics who lead a spiritual life are constantly attacked by demons. And those who do not lead - they do not intimidate them. If you don’t want demons to scare you at ordeals, lead a bad life, they will simply deceive you.

As Theophan the Recluse said, a person who is accustomed to gluttony will be deceived by demons. If the soul leaves the body, and a person is used to living for the stomach, what will it see? Feofan the Recluse says that she will see a luxurious table, and there will be black caviar, red caviar, balyk, cakes, wine, and so on. What will the soul do? Where will it go? And then they catch her - he went himself, you understand? Hence all these stories about the astral worlds, astral blissful abodes - this is a description of the very traps of Satan that he sets on the afterlife. What is being described here is a well-organized reality. The reality of traps made to catch people... People definitely fall into these traps, everyone except those who confessed.

In the ordeals of Blessed Theodora, twenty ordeals are described, in other sources there are a slightly different number. The essence of the ordeal is this: all sins are checked. How? At this moment, evil spirits remember, pull out all their notes that they had, and try, based on the sins that a person has committed, to ruin the soul, to take it for themselves by right. But remember that they cannot find a single confessed sin there. They may remember him, but they have no physical evidence, so they need to confess as often as possible.”

Yesterday the famous saint was celebrated - the Great Martyr Barbara! If we pray to her daily, she will arrange for us our final confession and Communion. And then we will soar unhindered to Heaven, where it is so beautiful and gracious that words cannot describe it!

It's all true, I've lived through it clinical death I was met while still alive by two angels, I also thought, why are there two of them? But they seemed like the closest people in the world to me. It seemed to me that I knew them all my life and that I had communication with them all my life... one was like my good thoughts, which corrected, admonished, helped me do good all my sinful life... I then realized that everything I tried to do good, it was the angel who guided me... and all good things are his merits, not mine...
The angels mentally told me, it’s time for you... get ready... after giving birth I had terrible endrymetriosis and blood poisoning, and then uterine bleeding began and every drop of blood came out... and so they took me to the operating table... I wasn’t scared at all with the angels... the angels I was inspired to say goodbye to everyone with all my heart, forgive everyone and repent of all my sins... I didn’t go to church then, I was 20 years old, I led a sinful life, offended everyone, quarreled, did not respect my husband and parents, the center of my last years was mine ego, terrible pride and selfishness...there were other terrible sins...
And at that moment, I realized, now I’m going to go somewhere where you can’t take everything that my heart was so attached to, no things, no jewelry, no cosmetics... it all seemed so insignificant and empty, and a terrible repentance appeared for the sins I had committed. , such repentance that I offended everyone and wasted my life on nothing, at that moment it was revealed to me - THAT THE ENTIRE MEANING OF LIFE IS ONLY IN LOVE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, FOR ALL PEOPLE... ONLY LOVE... I BECAME SO SICK FOR A MUTUALLY LIVED LIFE... And I felt love in in my heart... I have never experienced this feeling and I fell in love with it so much, I still can’t forget this feeling... one love with compassion for every person, for my husband, my child, who was taken from me for a while to a children’s hospital, because the doctors were afraid to give it to my husband, because they thought that he wouldn’t cope...
The doctors said to each other about me: “She’s in preagonia.”
And so the angels grabbed my soul, accompanying me on both sides and led me carefully on both sides... I was lying down, floating feet first in a black tunnel... there was darkness all around... and suddenly ahead I saw the Light and my soul dived into this Light... and I I was happy, forgetting about everything in the world... well, I’m almost home... how nice it is here...
But suddenly a stern voice was heard addressing the angels: “Why did you bring her here? It’s not her time yet.” The angels trembled before God the Father, and a voice said to me: “Come down to earth, you sinner.” I said: “I believe in Jesus Christ... I don’t want to go back... (having forgotten my child, without whom, I recently went crazy from separation... when the child was taken away from me to the children’s department at the other end of the city.

But they didn’t listen to me and I quickly rushed down and entered my body... it was rough, disgusting, dirty, smelly, completely paralyzed... my arms and legs didn’t obey, I couldn’t speak... they completely poured blood into me and took me to another place. district of the city for an operation that lasted from 11 am to 4 pm... I cleaned the uterus, which they wanted to remove, but then they regretted it... because I began shouting to the whole ward: “Lord, Jesus Christ, forgive me, I am guilty before you, forgive me, For the sake of Jesus Christ, cure me, I want to improve...Lord forgive me.” I screamed and repented as much as I could, so that I was ashamed of my life in front of people... and the doctor said to another, let’s save her uterus, because she is only 20 years old... and they went to great lengths... cleaned the uterus bit by bit... and saved her... Thanks to God, I soon had two more children...
I recovered quickly in a month... although God allowed the blood disease during the transfusion... but God had mercy on this disease... I always remember my death... I repented of all my sins and God forgave everything. I realized that if then the Lord had not admonished me to repent and had not shown the state of my sinful soul, then I would have gone to eternal torment..to hell..
And my soul was exactly the same as my body, only without flesh... soul.. a copy of the body to the very ends of the hair... I saw that pure souls have long white dresses... I am a complete zero and an empty place...
How true are the words: “I do not want the death of the sinner, but repentance.” UNTIL IT'S LATE LET'S VALUE EARTHLY LIFE FOR THE SAKE OF REPENTANCE...DON'T WAIT WITH REPENTANCE..HOLD FIRMLY TO GOD, FAITH, PRAYER, CHURCH, SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH, LOVE, CHASTITY, PATIENCE, SILENCE..ALL THE VIRTUES OF CHRIST...GIVEAWAY TO SHOW ALL PASSION IS THE DEATH OF THE SOUL. .DARKNESS AND COLD, EMPTY AND LONELINESS...LOVE IS THE LORD - IT IS GIVEN ONLY THROUGH COMMUNION...THROUGH UNION WITH CHRIST AND WITH ALL PEOPLE...THROUGH PRAYER, THE CROSS-BREATH OF THE CHURCH...ALL THROUGH THE CHURCH..I AM A SINNER AND MY LEVEL IS GOD... REPENTANCE AND THE COMMUNION..WITHOUT THEM I AM A CORPSE STINKING IN EVIL. ALL POWER IS IN GOD.

The connection between the soul and a living person

Followers of religious and esoteric teachings consider it as a small particle of Divine consciousness. On Earth the soul manifests itself through best qualities person: kindness, honesty, nobility, generosity, ability to forgive. Creative skills are considered a gift from God, which means they are also realized through the soul.

She is immortal, but the human body has a limited lifespan. Therefore, the soul leaves the body and goes to another level of the universe.

Basic theories about afterlife

Myths and religious views of peoples offer their vision of what happens to a person after death. For example, the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” describes step by step all the stages through which the soul passes from the moment of dying to the next incarnation on Earth.

Heaven and Hell, Heavenly Court

In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, a Heavenly court in which one's earthly deeds are judged. Depending on the number of mistakes and good deeds, God, angels or apostles divide dead people into sinners and righteous people in order to send them either to Heaven for eternal bliss or to hell for eternal torment.

However, the ancient Greeks had something similar, where all the dead were sent to the underground kingdom of Hades under the guardianship of Cerberus. Souls were also distributed according to their level of righteousness. Pious people were placed in Elysium, and vicious people were placed in Tartarus.

The judgment of souls is present in different variations in ancient myths. In particular, the Egyptians had a deity, Anubis, who weighed the heart of the deceased with an ostrich feather to measure the severity of his sins. Pure souls headed to the paradise fields of the solar god Ra, where the rest were not allowed to go.

The souls of the righteous go to heaven

Evolution of the soul, Karma, Reincarnation

The religions of ancient India look at the fate of the soul differently. According to traditions, she comes to Earth more than once and each time she gains invaluable experience necessary for spiritual evolution.

The souls of loved ones who passed away earlier appear nearby. They look like living substances emitting light, but the traveler knows exactly who he has met. These essences help to move on to the next stage, where the Angel awaits - a guide to the higher spheres.

The path the soul follows is illuminated by Light

People find it difficult to describe the image of the Divine being on the path of the soul in words. This is the embodiment of Love and a sincere desire to help. According to one version, this is a Guardian Angel. According to another, he is the progenitor of all human souls. The guide communicates with the newcomer using telepathy, without words, in the ancient language of images. He demonstrates the events and misdeeds of his past life, but without the slightest hint of condemnation.

The road passes through space filled with Light. Those who have experienced clinical death talk about the feeling of an invisible barrier, which probably serves as the border between the world of the living and the kingdom of the dead. None of those who returned comprehended beyond the veil. What lies beyond the line is not given to the living to know.

Can the soul of the deceased come to visit?

The religion condemns the practice of spiritualism. This is considered a sin, since a tempting demon may appear under the guise of a deceased relative. Serious esotericists also do not approve of such sessions, since at this moment a portal opens through which dark entities can penetrate into our world.

The Church condemns seances for communicating with the dead

However, such visits can occur on the initiative of those who left Earth. If there was a strong connection between people in earthly life, then death will not break it. For at least 40 days, the soul of the deceased can visit relatives and friends and observe them from the side. People with high sensitivity sense this presence.

Russian biologist Vasily Lepeshkin

In the 1930s, a Russian biochemist discovered energy emissions emanating from a dying body. The bursts were recorded on ultra-sensitive photographic film. Based on observations, the scientist came to the conclusion that a special substance is separated from the dying body, which in religions is usually called the soul.

Professor Konstantin Korotkov

Doctor of Technical Sciences has developed a method of gas discharge visualization (GDV), which makes it possible to record fine-material radiation from the human body and obtain an image of the aura in real time.

Using the GDV method, the professor recorded energy processes at the moment of death. In fact, Korotkov’s experiments gave a picture of how a subtle component emerges from a dying person. The scientist believes that then consciousness, together with the subtle body, goes to another dimension.

Physicists Michael Scott from Edinburgh and Fred Alan Wolf from California

Adherents of the theory of many parallel Universes. Some of their options coincide with reality, others radically differ from it.

Any living being (more precisely, its spiritual center) never dies. It is simultaneously embodied in different versions of reality, and each individual part is unaware of its doubles from parallel worlds.

Professor Robert Lantz

He drew an analogy between the continuous existence of humans and the life cycles of plants, which die in the winter, but begin to grow again in the spring. Thus, Lanz’s views are close to the Eastern doctrine of personal reincarnation.

The professor admits the existence of parallel worlds in which the same soul lives at the same time.

Anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff

Due to the specifics of my work, I observed people on the verge of life and death. Now he is sure that the soul has a quantum nature. Stewart believes that it is not formed by neurons, but by the unique substance of the Universe. After the death of the physical body, spiritual information about the personality is transmitted into space and lives there as free consciousness.

Conclusion

As you can see, neither religion nor modern science don't deny . Scientists, by the way, even named its exact weight - 21 grams. Having left this world, the soul continues to live in another dimension.

However, while remaining on Earth, we cannot voluntarily make contact with departed relatives. We can only keep good memories of them and believe that they also remember us.

When someone close to us dies, the living want to know whether the dead can hear or see us after physical death, whether it is possible to contact them and get answers to questions. There are many real stories, confirming this hypothesis. They talk about the intervention of the other world in our lives. Different religions also do not deny that souls of the dead are close to loved ones.

What does a person see when he dies?

About what a person sees and feels when he dies physical body, can only be judged by the stories of those who experienced clinical death. The stories of many patients whom doctors were able to save have much in common. They all talk about similar sensations:

1. A man watches other people bending over his body from the side.
2. At first one feels strong anxiety, as if the soul does not want to leave the body and say goodbye to the usual earthly life, but then calm comes.
3. Pain and fear disappear, the state of consciousness changes.
4. The person doesn't want to go back.
5. After passing through a long tunnel, a creature appears in a circle of light and calls for you.

Scientists believe that these impressions do not relate to what the person who has passed on to another world feels. They explain such visions as a hormonal surge, the effects of medications, and brain hypoxia. Although different religions, describing the process of separation of the soul from the body, talk about the same phenomena - observing what is happening, the appearance of an angel, saying goodbye to loved ones.

Is it true that dead people can see us?

To answer whether deceased relatives and other people see us, we need to study different theories about the afterlife. Christianity talks about two opposite places where the soul can go after death - heaven and hell. Depending on how a person lived, how righteously, he is rewarded with eternal bliss or doomed to endless suffering for his sins.

When discussing whether the dead see us after death, we should turn to the Bible, which says that souls resting in paradise remember their lives, can observe earthly events, but do not experience passions. People who were recognized as saints after death appear to sinners, trying to guide them on the true path. According to esoteric theories, the spirit of the deceased has a close connection with loved ones only when he has unfulfilled tasks.

Does the soul of a deceased person see his loved ones?

After death, the life of the body ends, but the soul continues to live. Before going to heaven, she stays with her loved ones for another 40 days, trying to console them and ease the pain of loss. Therefore, in many religions it is customary to schedule a funeral for this time in order to escort the soul to the world of the dead. It is believed that ancestors see and hear us even many years after death. Priests advise not to speculate about whether the dead see us after death, but to try to grieve less about the loss, because the suffering of relatives is difficult for the deceased.

Can the soul of the deceased come to visit?

When the connection between loved ones was strong during life, this relationship is difficult to interrupt. Relatives can feel the presence of the deceased and even see his silhouette. This phenomenon is called a phantom or ghost. Another theory says that the spirit comes to visit for communication only in a dream, when our body is asleep and our soul is awake. During this period, you can ask for help from deceased relatives.

Can a deceased person become a guardian angel?

After the loss of a loved one, the pain of loss can be very great. I would like to know if our deceased relatives can hear us and tell us about their troubles and sorrows. Religious teaching does not deny that dead people become guardian angels for their kind. However, in order to receive such an appointment, a person during his lifetime must be a deeply religious person, not sin and follow God’s commandments. Often the guardian angels of a family become children who left early, or people who devoted themselves to worship.

Is there a connection with the dead?

According to people with psychic abilities, there is a connection between the real world and the afterlife, and it is very strong, so it is possible to perform such an action as talking to the deceased. To contact the deceased from the other world, some psychics conduct spiritualistic séances, where you can communicate with a deceased relative and ask him questions.
