Well, I'm not quite sure how to begin. What happens when we die? I'm not so sure anybody really knows exactly what happens after death, but we have hints on earth from many different places such as the Mayan calendar and maybe even movies in the cinemas or religious figures who claim to predict the future and everything like that. WELL I guess I'm writing this article to convey to you my personal belief of the afterlife. Maybe my beliefs have been formed by the years I spent growing up in a Christian environment, and they always try to terrify you as well as make you feel comfortable about the afterlife and about what happens when we die.

I personally believe that when the body dies, the soul lives on. Now depending on one's shadow, the soul will then take its place, in heaven, or in hell. In heaven, the soul is at its happiest point and has everything it desires, no exceptions. Heaven is completely the perfect paradise, with nothing unavailable. Hell, on the other hand, is perfectly opposite. Hell is the most terrifying place one can imagine. Hell is filled with man's fears; your worst fears float around for the sole purpose of scaring the soul to its most uncomfortable position. hell is also where the soul is assigned (or at least what I have been led to believe) to a body, and that body is put through the most torture imaginable to a human being before death, and then once the body dies, the soul still lives on, and is either assigned to another body or maybe the same body, only resurrected. The newly resurrected or assigned body is then put through the same thing, over and over and over. Basically, hell is never-ending torture and fear. Now this only happens when you have assembled a shadow throughout your life on earth. Or it seems to be a shadow anyhow. The shadow is something that has followed every human being since they have been born. The shadow is basically a history of one's bad deeds throughout life, and the shadow grows with every bad deed. The shadow has a certain limit which once it gets past; it becomes a sure ticket to hell. However, there may still be a chance to get into heaven, but a sudden lifestyle change is in order. One must do good deeds and be absolutely serious when asking God in prayer for forgiveness.
So, when one dies, the soul lives on and whether it goes to heaven or hell, is the decision of God himself.
