All Souls Day
Today is the 2nd of November, All Souls Day. We're supposed to be praying for all the souls in purgatory, going to mass, and all that. However, it was quite a normal Saturday for us. We'll be praying in a short while, so I guess our spiritual aspect hasn't gone unremembered.
And it got me thinking... what would it feel like to cease living? I heard a friend say that when you're nearing death, a neurochemical would be triggered. It would send a message to the brain to have a pleasing feeling. I have no facts or studies to back up such an information, so yeah. Not the gospel truth.
... what does it feel not to live? I remembered my deceased brothers/sisters who weren't born alive before me. What was it like to almost live?
...what happens to us after we die? Do our spirits have the sense organs to perceive life after death? Is there a life after death? Do we get to know eternity, heaven, or any other place our religion promises us? Will God have a face that we'd be able to see, or would we have nerves that would send messages to our spirit-brain that He's embracing us?
Many questions niggle my mind.
