After the separation of the soul from the body, an independent life begins for it in the invisible world. The spiritual experience accumulated by the Church makes it possible to build a clear and coherent teaching about the afterlife of man.The disciple of St. Macarius of Alexandria (+ 395) tells: “when we were walking through the desert, I saw two angels who accompanied St. Macarius, one with right side, the other - on the left ". One of them spoke about what the soul does in the first 40 days after death: “When on the third day there is an offering in the Church, the soul of the deceased receives relief from the angel guarding it in sorrow, which it feels from separation from the body; receives because the doxology and offering in the Church of God has been completed for her, which is why a good hope is born in her. For in the course of two days the soul, together with the angels who are with it, is allowed to walk the earth wherever it wishes. Therefore the soul body loving, sometimes wanders around the house in which she parted from the body, sometimes around the coffin in which the body is laid<…>And the virtuous soul goes to those places where it used to do the right thing. On the third day, He who rose from the dead on the third day - the God of all - commands, in imitation of His Resurrection, to ascend to heaven for every Christian soul to worship the God of all. So it is the custom of the good Church to make an offering and prayer for the soul on the third day.
After worshiping God, He is commanded to show the soul the various and pleasant abodes of the saints and the beauty of paradise. All this is considered by the soul for six days, wondering and glorifying the Creator of all this - God. Contemplating all this, she changes and forgets the sorrow she had while in the body. But if she is guilty of sins, then at the sight of the pleasures of the saints, she begins to grieve and reproach herself, saying: “Alas!” to me! How I fussed in that world! Carried away by the satisfaction of lusts, I spent most of my life in carelessness and did not serve God as I should, so that I could also be rewarded with this goodness.<…>After considering all the joys of the righteous for six days, she again ascends by angels to worship God. So, the Church does well, making services and offerings for the deceased on the ninth day.
After the second worship, the Lord of all again commands to take the soul to hell and show it the places of torment located there, the different sections of hell and the various wicked torments.<…>Through these various places of torment the soul rushes about for thirty days, trembling, lest it itself be condemned to imprisonment in them. On the fortieth day, she again ascends to worship God; and then the Judge determines a decent place for her in deeds<…>So, the Church does the right thing, making commemorations of the departed and those who received Baptism ”(St. Macarius of Alexandria. A word on the exodus of the souls of the righteous and sinners ..., - “Christian Reading”, 1831, part 43, p. 123-31; “How to conduct soul for the first forty days after leaving the body, M., 1999, pp. 13-19).
The great ascetic of our time, St. John (Maximovich) writes: “It should be borne in mind that the description of the first two days after death gives general rule, which by no means covers all situations<…>saints who were not at all attached to worldly things, lived in constant expectation of a transition to another world, are not even attracted to places where they did good deeds, but immediately begin their ascent to heaven ”(Blessed St. John the Wonderworker, M., 2003 , p. 792) .
The Orthodox Church attaches great importance to the doctrine of aerial ordeals, which begin on the third day after the separation of the soul from the body. She passes through the airspace of the “outpost”, where evil spirits convict her of the sins she has committed and seek to keep her as akin to them. The holy fathers write about this (Ephraim the Syrian, Athanasius the Great, Macarius the Great, John Chrysostom, and others).
The soul of a person who lived according to the commandments of God and the statutes of St. The Church painlessly passes through these "outposts" and after the fortieth day receives a place of temporary rest. It is necessary that loved ones pray in the Church and at home for the departed, remembering what doomsday much depends on these prayers. “Truly, truly, I say to you, the time is coming, and it is already here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and when they hear, they will live” (John 5:25).
Father Afanasy Gumerov
Not so long ago, in my blog, you read my story about a school friend Galina, who, after the death of her beloved human became terrified of death . We spent a lot of time together, fighting this terrible phobia, until she finally got better. She continues to think about of death , but in a different way.
After our conversations regarding the death of a person, Galya began to literally collect articles, books and films on this topic. And it infected me with everything. Fuel to the fire was added by my own son. He, after listening to our exchange of opinions on these topics, became interested in the concepts of human consciousness and the topics how modern scientists are trying to digitize it and place it in the virtual world. Son, you see, dreams of the appearance computer games, in which it would be possible to introduce such digitized souls of players who will live and develop in an alternative reality under the supervision of their own living prototypes.
Scientistsfigured outwhere people fall after of death?
As a result of our collective efforts, a lot of information has accumulated in my laptop regarding all these issues, which, by the way, have always worried humanity - not only religious people, but also atheists. Perhaps atheists and agnostics in our time are even more interested in all this than sincere believers in God, because they are more afraid to die. They are afraid to disappear into the abyss of nothingness completely and without a trace, while religions speak of the obligatory continuation of life in its other form. Perhaps that is why it was the unbelievers who became the first rational researchers of the phenomenon of continuing life after the death of the body. They wanted to test the ancient revelations by scientific means. I have read a lot on this topic and with all reason I can say that almost every one of scientists, who was at first a typical unbelieving Thomas, eventually came to the conclusion that after the physical death of the body, a person continues to exist.
Where do people go after they die? said in all ancient beliefs and world religions. They were born in different parts of the planet, often completely independently of each other, but at the same time about the life of the soul human after his death they said almost the same thing.
All without exception 
The ancestors of modern mankind were absolutely sure that that the gods
death at the moment appointed by fate force the soul to leave the body, afterwhat begins for a disembodied entity new life in the world of the dead. Each religion describes in detail both the path to non-existence and the very place where souls reside after the death of a person. Be sure to tell about the difficulties and trials that the soul must endure during the journey to the kingdom of the dead. The other world itself is drawn full of miracles and secrets, divine and demonic entities that judge the soul and determine its place in its kingdom. Some of them (primarily Hinduism and Buddhism) argue that the soul incarnates into new bodies before finally merging with the divine Absolute an incalculable number of times.
Many skeptics who do not believe in any mysticism say that all such stories about the soul and its responsibility for lifetime actions human invented the priests, who were profitable to intimidate and subjugate people . And all sorts of mystical meetings and visions, supposedly confirming religious stories about the other world, are also fictions or tricks of the same cultists.
Okay, but what about cases when such visions visit completely unbelieving people? Take, for example, my aunt, who was a communist, a hero of labor and did not even come close to any church all her life. Once, in the early 70s of the last century, she was in Moscow on a business trip. Just before leaving home, I decided to take a walk along Kalininsky Prospekt (now Novy Arbat). She walked to herself, looked at shop windows, hurried to the Book World for new products. And suddenly, near the Vesna store, she saw her subordinate, who did not understand what he was doing there instead of being at his workplace in Perm. He greeted her and turned to the store. Auntie was taken aback at first, then followed him, but she did not find him inside the store. And when she returned home and came to work, she found out that this comrade had just been buried. On the day she saw him in Moscow, he was already in the morgue. After this incident, my aunt did not start going to churches, but she began to read the Bible and was interested in all sorts of mystical cases.
What does science say?
Many scientists from worldwide famous names were also originally believers or through their personal life experience came to the conclusion that a life
person afterthe death of his bodily shell as such does not stop. E the best minds of all time have said starting with the ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Pythagoras. The materialists Galileo, Newton, Pascal, Pasteur, Einstein, Pavlov, Tsiolkovsky and many others were also people convinced of the existence of a higher reality, a divine principle and an afterlife. They cannot be called blind believers, since they came to their conclusions through purely Scientific research and reflections that led them to evidence of a reasonable, multidimensional and animate structure of the universe. All researchers of the other world, with the help of experiments and observations, tried to answer very specific questions.
- How true are people's stories about meetings or other communication with the dead?
- How gradually (or, conversely, simultaneously) does the separation of the soul and body occur?
- Can the posthumous life of a person be recorded by any scientific methods?
- Is it possible to catch with the help of modern instruments the processes of separation of the physical body and subtle essence (soul) from each other?
- Are the physical and spiritual essences of a person equally separated from each other in the case of a calm and tragic deaths?
- Where does the soul go after the death of the body?
I found a wide variety of scientific hypotheses and described discoveries, which indicate that the life of a person, or rather his soul, continues in the so-called subtle dimension. I will give just a few examples.
Emmanuel Swedenborg
was probably the first scientists , which the 
systematically approached the study of the otherworldly existence of the soul. In the 18th century, he made technical inventions, lectured at the largest Swedish university, Uppsala, and wrote more than 150 scientific papers, including those on the life of the soul in other worlds. Swedenborg said that personality after death essentially does not change, but continues to evolve. He, long before the emergence of quantum theories, suggested that the world consists of particles, which are flows and swirls of energy. Souls are also energy bundles, invisible to the eye. Swedenborg conducted experiments on communication with the other world for more than 20 years and published the results. Many contemporaries (including the Queen of Sweden) were forced to believe him, since scientist told them secrets that could only be known to their deceased relatives.
R 
Russian biologist V. Lepeshkin
in the 30s. The twentieth century has managed to register special energy bursts that are spread around by dying bodies. He concluded that at the moment of death of a living being, a certain special biofield separates from it. During such experiments, biofields leaving the earth's shell even illuminated photographic film of special sensitivity.
K.G. Korotkov
- Doctor of Technical Sciences of the St. Petersburg Technical 
university - directs the research of subtle bodies that leave the physical flesh after its of death . The generator of high-voltage electromagnetic radiation during laboratory experiments captures the exit from the dead human his astral form and transmits the waves of her energy field to the display. The outcome of the soul is fixed as a special pulsating glow, which then fades, then again intensifies. Scientist convinced that after bodily death human his destiny continues in another dimension.
Physicists
Michael Scott of Edinburgh and Fred Alan 
Wolf from California prove the existence of multiple parallel universes. They may be similar to our own reality or differ significantly from it. Scientists conclude: everyone who has ever lived not only does not die, but exists in these parallel spaces forever. In this way, death as there is none at all, but the spiritual essences of people and animals are presented in a plurality of incarnations.
Robert Lantz , a professor from North Carolina, compares the continuous life of a person with how There are plants that die off in the winter and grow back in the spring. In fact, Lanz agrees with Eastern theories of reincarnation and that the same soul is physically reborn many times in parallel worlds and again and again comes to Earth. The professor suggests that death and rebirth happen at the same time, so how particles subtle matter, of which the spirit consists (photons, neutrinos, etc.), are able to be present at the same moment in different dimensions.
Stuart Hammeroff , an anesthesiologist at the University of Arizona, as a result long work convinced of the quantum nature of the soul. He argues that it does not consist of neurons, but of a special fabric of the universe. So after death information about the personality goes into space and exists in it in the form of free consciousness.
In general, these and other scientists came to the same conclusions 
to which, long before them, mankind was led by a variety of religions. These conclusions were voiced in his speech at one of the international symposia by the researcher of the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University A.V. Mikheev.
- Not a single skeptic could prove through experiments that after the death of a personeverything stops for him that life has no continuation in some other form or place.
- After the physical (in our understanding) death of peopletheir so-called subtle bodies remain. They are carriers of various information about individuals: this is their self-consciousness, memory, emotions, the whole inner world.
- The continuation of the existence of an individual after death is one of the natural laws of nature and human life.
- Subsequent realities numerous and differ from each other by different energy frequencies on which they are located.
- Where specifically it hitsthe soul of the deceased is most likely determined by his earthly actions, feelings and thoughts. This works on the principle of electromagnetic radiation, the spectrum of which depends on its composition. What is the inner component of the soul, such is its new place after death.
- Heaven and Hell words it is possible to define two poles of the posthumous state I am. Between these poles there are many intermediate states. Soul hit in them according to the emotional and mental load that she formed on Earth. Therefore, negative emotional states, bad deeds, the desire to destroy, any fanaticism are very badly reflected in the future fate of the individual. Thus, the responsibility of the soul for everything that its bearer did during his earthly life is inevitable.
I don’t know about you, but I have all these hypotheses and conclusions scientists with world-famous names struck me and forced me to re-evaluate my own life. It turns out that science fully confirms the ethical side of religion. Secret Eastern teachings, Christianity, Islam have long told people that earthly experience and knowledge play a huge role in the posthumous fate of the soul. They pointed to the personal and inevitable responsibility of a person for what he did on this earth. now and people from science they say that absolutely everything lived by a person is recorded, weighed and entails consequences after death her physical shell. So, one main conclusion remains: it is not worth living in this world in such a way that one would later be ashamed of it in other habitats of the spirit. I also somehow don’t want to get into a bad dimension through my own fault.
The Bible says that "the dust will return to the earth from where it came from, and the spirit will return to the Creator, Who gave it" ... Pardon the pun, but today only the dead do not try to find out or find out what happens to the soul when the person dies. This is what I was wondering about.
Human death - what is it?
From a biological and physical point of view, the death of a person is a complete stop of all processes of his life. This is an irreversible phenomenon that none of us can avoid. At the moment of death of a person, processes occur that are inversely proportional to his creation. The brain is irreversibly destroyed, losing its functionality. The emotional world is erased.
Where is she - the edge of being?
The Bible says that "the dust will return to the earth from whence it came, and the spirit will return to the Creator, Who gave it." In accordance with this, today some scientists have derived a formula. In writing, it will have the following two options:
- earthly dust + breath of life = the living soul of a person;
- lifeless body + breath of the Creator = living person.
The formula shows that each of us is endowed with a body and a thinking mind. And as long as we breathe (we have the breath of God in us), we are living beings. Our soul is alive. Death is any cessation of life, it is non-existence. The human body becomes dust, the breath (the spirit of life) returns back to the Creator - to God. When we leave, our soul slowly dies, subsequently being reborn. A decaying corpse remains in the ground. More on this later.
What happens to the soul when a person dies?
Our soul is released from the body for several days, having gone through several stages of purification:
So what happens to the soul when a person dies? From all of the above, we can conclude that she returns back to the Creator, and does not go to heaven or hell. However, let me! But what about the Bible, which says that ours goes either to heaven or to hell? More on this later.
Where do the souls of dead people go?
Today, scientists are trying to prove the existence of heaven and hell, collecting testimonies of people who have returned "from the other world." Who did not understand - I'm talking about the survivors. Their testimonies coincide to the smallest detail! Unbelieving people say that they saw hell with their own eyes: they were surrounded by snakes, demons and a terrible stench. Those who "visited" paradise speak of light, fragrance and lightness.
Where are the souls of dead people?
Priests and doctors who communicated with such people noticed interesting feature: "those who have been" in paradise have returned to their physical body enlightened and calm, and those who "saw" hell tried for a very long time to recover from the nightmare. Experts summarized all the testimonies and memories of "dead" people, after which they concluded that heaven and hell really exist, with the first being at the top and the second at the bottom. Everything is exactly the same as in the description of the afterlife according to the Bible and the Koran. As we can see, there is no consensus. And this is absolutely fair. In addition, the Bible says that "the day of judgment will come, and the dead will rise from their graves." Friends, it remains to be hoped that the zombie apocalypse will not fall in our age!
So, friends, we have considered some aspects of a person. I have tried to most accurately state some of the opinions of modern scientists regarding this problem. Now seriously. Do you know what happens to the soul when a person dies? So I don't know! Why hide a sin, no one knows the answer to this question: neither I, nor you, friends, nor scientists ... We can only speculate based on certain unproven facts clinical death people. There is no direct evidence of life after death or death after death, so we can only operate on the unproven arguments that science provides us with. As they say, all the dead take the secret with them to the grave...
We, students of the Institute of Reincarnation, at the group lesson, with a wonderful number 13, spent our
The topic of the transition from the earthly plane to the subtle world is not easy, because everyone has a personal story of the departure of loved ones.
We, so different, but similar and passionate about the topic of past lives, want to tell what happens to the soul after death.
The loved ones who have departed from the earthly plane “have not quite died.” Often they continue to communicate for some time, to give subtle signs to us.
It happens that Souls do not linger and immediately rush to another world. This topic is multifaceted, each case is unique.
Death does not exist
Butyrina Naila
I remember when my attitude towards death changed. I stopped being afraid of her when I looked at her differently.
When I realized, understood and accepted that death is just a transition to another form of existence. Death as such does not exist.
When my husband died, the bitterness of loss and loss overwhelmed me, did not allow me to live in peace. I began to look for an opportunity to at least somehow confirm my hopes that he was alive.
He could not say goodbye to me forever! Eight years ago there was so little information that I collected it bit by bit.
But a miracle happened! I found what I was looking for or the miracle itself was looking for me. The Institute of Reincarnation appeared in my life. Now I can say with confidence that I have found all the answers to my questions.
I present to your attention the story of one of my incarnations, which I saw through the eyes of my Soul. This is the hunting episode. Paleolithic time, I'm a man.
“We hunted in the forest. They walked in a semicircle in a chain in width. And then the beast appeared. Everyone hunkered down and got ready. I commanded, and everyone rushed towards the beast. They began to throw spears and sharp plates (like a knife).
I was in front, and someone's sharp plate cut off - cut off my head.
The soul abruptly jumped out of the body with an exhaust! From suddenness, it looks like a clot of uneven shape. Then such a dense weightlessness blurred ... it was blue, then it became light, translucent.
The soul stood three meters above the body. She did not want to leave this body. She regrets: "It was not the time, it was still early, this should not have happened."
And she tries to enter this body again. The soul does not know what to do next, she is at a loss. The soul cries, understands that there is no body.
Soul clings to her. The feeling is very tender and warm. The wife does not yet know that no one will return from the hunt. The soul asks for forgiveness for what happened.
Parents are completely calm, and the Soul says goodbye with reverence, gratitude, respect and love. She clings to her mother, but there is no such tenderness and love as for a wife.”
Some are more filled with light and transparent, Souls are whitish, I see one yellow. Everyone is different in form, but the form is not constant, it changes.
Sizes are also bigger and smaller. Some move slower, some calmer, and some faster. There are those who rush about as if in a panic.
Here they have no contact, they do not intersect. Here everyone is busy with their own business. These are the souls that haven't left yet. Someone moves somewhere, someone goes high - everyone has their own way. Time is not felt.
Meanwhile, the tribe brought my body on sticks crossed among themselves. There is no screaming, everything is going smoothly. The wife is upset, but crying is not accepted here.
The soul moves to the next day - the day of the funeral. Burial ritual. Shaman, old women, tambourines or something similar to them. Hands knock out music.
My body is in a hut, in the form of a "hut". The head is attached to the body. Around the body of a woman on one side, a man on the other. The women prepared the body, put on the bracelets.
The body is beautiful and strong. The soul is nearby. Thought: “I have to go, everything is done.” Burial procedure. The body is burned at the stake. I look at the fire. Flashes of fire. Tongues of flame rise to the sky.
The soul is now calm and has become the correct form: beautiful, translucent, semi-white. The size of a small ball, like a soft cloud with even soft edges. The procession is over.
I fly up diagonally. I look at my family, wife and children. I turn around and fly faster and faster.
Trumpet and soft muted gray light. There are two Souls ahead, but they are far away. It flew out of the pipe. I accelerate faster and faster and fly home.
I understand, I feel, I just know, I want to fly more, even faster ...!
Soul Embrace
Kalnitskaya Alina
I saw dying in one of the incarnations, where I am an elderly woman. At that moment, something light and light came out of my chest.
The soul saw her lifeless body below. I observe the actions of the Soul and understand that it is watching and ready for this exit upward.
The soul wants to hug the sons. She flies up to one, as if hugging him. The Soul wants to give him some strength, to give warmth, so that he is calm for the Mother's Soul.
Then the Soul flies up to the second son. Strokes him and wants to support. The soul knows that the son does not show emotions, but in fact he worries deep down.
There is only one thought: to say goodbye and leave.
The sensations are pleasant, as if you are sitting on a cloud, and you are shaking. There are no thoughts, emptiness, as if all the problems have been pulled out, and a feeling of weightlessness.
Dying is not scary
Lydia Hanson
When I learned that at the Institute of Reincarnation we would be going through, at first there was a feeling of interest and alertness.
But, after going through this experience, I understand that it was not scary at all! What happens next is simply amazing! Here is one of my experiences.
I am a young woman in modern Europe. Her life was cut short quite early by a soldier's shot. When the woman was shot, the Soul left the body and saw him lying alone on the floor.
Looking at its physical shell, the Soul experiences a feeling of regret: "It's a pity ... so beautiful and young ..."
The soul does not linger, does not even look at what is left there. She flies up. No one meets her, she just reads to leave slowly, gradually accelerating.
I look like a blue cloud etheric body- blue iridescent ether. I catch the thoughts of my Soul: "Far away from here."
She doesn't have much joy. satisfaction is everything, there are no negative feelings! Feeling relaxed and calm, that everything will be fine now.
It is round, but there are no borders, it somehow stands out in density. And the Soul moves in it not immediately upwards, but as if along an inclined upwards. “I see a shimmering light in front of me, and joy from it.
I still see it far away, but I am overwhelmed with joy, and I want to go there. And I'm going there!"
Soul needs to be released
Alena Obukhova
My opinion is that this area should not be moved much. That's why this is the afterlife, to see off loved ones with all the rituals, according to their confessions.
And then with gratitude to give the necessary honors and attention and remember for the holidays. The main thing is to let go.
She had enough time to say goodbye to her loved ones. In other cases, when life ended suddenly, when the Soul was not yet ready to leave, it was met by kindred Souls.
Once, at a difficult departure, the Soul came out to meet the whole Family. It was a solemn spectacle. I was shocked when I saw on the inner screen how unexpectedly, out of nowhere under a virtual requiem, the shadows of ancestors appear - many, many people.
They line up and take this wounded Soul by the arms and help her go Home. I realized that under no circumstances will not a single Soul be left behind.
These Essences meeting outwardly take on the appearance of those whom the Soul trusted in this incarnation, or Spiritual Guides, or family members.
There on the other side of life there is no hell. There are resting places along the way if the corridor is long and tiring. Meetings on the other side are always friendly.
I have researched about 20 treatments and trust my inner world. The soul returns to a cozy and familiar Home.
Soul decides to leave
Zinaida Schmidt
I spent a significant part of my life trying to figure out my life.
Previously, I even turned to the deceased dad and asked him to send me a loved one, whom I knew for sure that I should meet in this life! I always subconsciously knew this!
Like many others, she recently passed away loved one. In the family, we discussed this topic -.
Often the answers came to me in dreams, which opened the pages of my past for me and gave answers to questions. I still have so much to understand, read, and comprehend!
Here is my exploration of the experience of dying by the method of Reincarnation. I wondered how is the departure from the earthly plane after a protracted illness.
The answer was unexpected, because in the subtle world, as it turned out, everything is seen a little differently. The thoughts of the Soul were also unusual for me.
I watched the departure of the Soul in one of its incarnations. The room is dark, cobwebs and indifference to everything. No longer life, but lethargy, many hours of immobility.
This woman is weakened and is constantly half asleep. The soul thinks that it is pointless to stay any longer, you don’t want to stay.
Done what needs to be done and The soul decides to leave.
I watched how the Soul separates from the body. This happens very easily. The soul separates and rises rapidly. She doesn't even want to stay near this body.
This is such a light transparent substance, like a cloud of indefinite shape. She strives upwards in order to quickly disappear from the earthly plane.
The soul thinks: “I have done everything that is needed in this life, and freedom. Such freedom! The soul aspires to the starry sky. She is in free float.
Encounter in the World of Souls
Olga Malinovskaya
In the lesson, the transition through dying into the space between lives, I moved into the past harmonious, feminine incarnation.
I am an elderly woman, and I was consciously preparing for this transition. She confessed and just waited for this hour.
I saw and felt the exit of the Soul from the body. It was very easy, without emotion, without resistance or regret. It's as easy as breathing.
It was a natural dying, and it was in a dream. I saw how in one moment disappeared magnetism between body and soul how the physical body suddenly became immensely heavy relative to the body of the Soul, and it freely soared into more subtle dimensions.
What happened next is hard to describe in words. It would be easier to draw. Absolutely everything - the flow, the direction of energy, the edges and outlines of incoming silhouettes - were as if underlined or circled in an iridescent refracted glow.
I saw a group of Souls who were meeting me. They were strangely lined up in several rows, forming the shape of a temple.
In the center of the base there was a strong glow, like a passage and at the same time similar to a canvas, in which one could wrap oneself and thus consecrate the body of the Soul.
The World of Souls is a very beautiful and unlike our world space, in which other laws operate. All the matter I have seen is extraordinarily alive, more alive than on this plane.
This is multidimensionality, this other, not Earthly, palette of colors!
Soul is eternal
Valery Karnaukh
I am a monk, maybe a Jesuit, or a member of some other order. I'm fighting with someone. I have a sword in my hand, and so does he.
Then I enter the body and at that moment I see the blade of the sword flying towards me. Shine it in the sun and it cuts off my head.
Instant death - no pain, no fear, no understanding. A light haze emerges from the hole formed and begins to rise up.
My Soul was freed from the flesh and became free. She leaves this flesh.
The next incarnation was in 1388 in the forest. A young hidalgo came to a secret meeting with his beloved.
I feel how a lump rolls up to my throat, how I don’t want to part. We love each other. I'm young, I'm only 32 years old. Suddenly, a moment of pain grips my shoulders.
I can't move, it's hard for me to breathe. I try to see what happened, but the body is all shackled. I leave the body and see her husband along with his servants.
They hold bows and crossbows in their hands, and I have an arrow sticking out between my shoulder blades. The girl covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with horror and tears.
At this moment, I see that my body falls to the ground. Smoke comes out of the body in the form of a seahorse. I do not consciously understand that this is me. I don't care what happens to the body. I am a light and free soul, and I fly up.
I think that the spent body is to be left, and not to cry over it.
It's like a floppy disk with information. The Institute of Reincarnation helps to open access and provides tools for reading the information that is on this diskette.
During the learning process, students learn how to use these tools, as well as transfer knowledge to others.
Signs for loved ones
Alexandra Elkin: What an important topic for me! After the sudden death of my mother, the bitterness of loss tormented my Soul for many years.
And so, I unexpectedly ended up at the institute and looked death in the eyes many many times.
Sometimes the Soul passed away calmly and wisely, and sometimes it protested against the sudden death so much that then it did not want to leave the Earth for a long time.
My Soul, after leaving the body, sometimes tried to give signs to my loved ones, but, alas, they were so absorbed in suffering!
And I so wanted to be heard, to feel my subtle vibrations, to be with me on the same light wave.
Only here, at the Institute of Reincarnation, I finally freed from the pain of loss. Thank you, Institute, Captains, I now know how I can help those who continue to suffer after losing their loved ones!
We bring to your attention an excerpt from a group lesson for 1st year students, from which you will learn what happens to the Soul after death.
Despite such a sad topic, we were inspired, and we had ideas and a great desire to help people who have suddenly lost their loved ones.
Our research as a group seeks to develop into an important and people need project. After its launch, we will be happy to share it in a new article for our magazine.
Prepared jointly by group #13,

The afterlife and its uncertainty is what most often leads a person to think about God and the Church. After all, according to the doctrine Orthodox Church and any other Christian doctrines, the human soul is immortal and, unlike the body, it exists forever.
A person is always interested in the question, what will happen to him after death, where will he go? The answers to these questions can be found in the teachings of the Church.
The soul after the death of the bodily shell awaits the Judgment of God
Death and the Christian
Death always remains a kind of constant companion of a person: relatives, celebrities, relatives die, and all these losses make you think about what will happen when this guest comes to me? Attitude towards the end largely determines the course human life- the expectation of it is painful or the person has lived such a life that at any moment he is ready to appear before the Creator.
The desire not to think about it, deleting it from thoughts is the wrong approach, because then life ceases to have value.
Christians believe that God gave man eternal soul, as opposed to a perishable body. And this determines the course of the entire Christian life - after all, the soul does not disappear, which means that it will definitely see the Creator and give an answer for every deed. This constantly keeps the believer in good shape, not allowing him to live his days thoughtlessly. Death in Christianity is a certain point of transition from worldly to heavenly life., and that's where the spirit to go after this crossroads directly depends on the quality of life on earth.
Orthodox asceticism has in its writings the expression "memory of death" - the constant retention in thoughts of the concept of the end of worldly existence and the expectation of a transition to eternity. That is why Christians lead a meaningful life, not allowing themselves to waste minutes.
The approach of death from this point of view is not something terrible, but quite a logical and expected action, joyful. As Elder Joseph of Vatopedsky said: “I was waiting for the train, but it still does not come.”
First days after leaving
Orthodoxy has a special concept of the first days in afterlife. This is not a strict dogma of faith, but the position that the Synod adheres to.
Death in Christianity is a certain point of transition from worldly to heavenly life.
special days after death are considered:
- Third- This is traditionally a day of commemoration. This time is spiritually connected with the Resurrection of Christ, which took place on the third day. St. Isidore Pelusiot writes that the process of the Resurrection of Christ took 3 days, hence the idea was formed that the human spirit also passes into eternal life. Other authors write that the number 3 has a special meaning, it is called God's number and it symbolizes faith in the Holy Trinity, therefore it is necessary to commemorate a person on this day. It is in the memorial service of the third day that the Triune God is asked to forgive the deceased for sins and forgive;
- Ninth- another day of remembrance of the dead. St. Simeon of Thessalonica wrote about this day as a time to remember 9 angelic ranks, which may include the spirit of the deceased. That is how many days are given to the soul of the deceased for the full realization of their transition. This is mentioned by St. Paisius in his writings, comparing a sinner with a drunkard who sobers up during this period. During this period, the soul comes to terms with its transition and says goodbye to worldly life;
- Fortieth- This is a special day of remembrance, because according to the legends of St. Thessalonica, this number is of particular importance, because Christ was exalted on the 40th day, which means that the one who died on this day appears before the Lord. Likewise, the people of Israel mourned their leader Moses at just such a time. On this day, not only a prayer-petition for mercy for the deceased from God should be heard, but also a magpie.
The above three dates are necessary for special remembrance and prayer for the departed. During this period, their fervent prayers for the deceased are brought to the Lord and, in accordance with the teachings of the Church, can affect the final decision of the Creator regarding the soul.
Where does the human spirit go after life?
Where exactly does the spirit of the deceased reside? No one has an exact answer to this question, since this is a secret hidden from man by the Lord. Everyone will know the answer to this question after his repose. The only thing that is known for sure is the transition of the human spirit from one state to another - from a worldly body to an eternal spirit.
Only the Lord can determine the place of eternal residence of the soul
Here it is much more important to find out not “where”, but “to whom”, because it does not matter where the person will be after, the main thing is with the Lord?
Christians believe that after the transition to eternity, the Lord calls a person to judgment, where he determines his place of eternal residence - heaven with angels and other believers, or hell, with sinners and demons.
The teaching of the Orthodox Church says that only the Lord can determine the place of eternal residence of the soul and no one can influence His sovereign will. This decision is a response to the life of the soul in the body and its actions. What did she choose during her lifetime: good or evil, repentance or proud exaltation, mercy or cruelty? Only the actions of a person determine the eternal stay and according to them the Lord judges.
According to the book of Revelation of John Chrysostom, we can conclude that the human race is waiting for two judgments - individual for each soul, and general, when all the dead are resurrected after the end of the world. Orthodox theologians are convinced that in the period between an individual judgment and a common one, the soul has the opportunity to change its sentence, through the prayers of its loved ones, good deeds who create in his memory, memories in Divine Liturgy and commemoration with alms.
ordeal
The Orthodox Church believes that the spirit goes through certain ordeals or trials on its way to the throne of God. The traditions of the holy fathers say that ordeals consist in denunciation evil spirits that make you doubt your own salvation, the Lord or His Sacrifice.
The word ordeal comes from the old Russian "mytnya" - a place for collecting fines. That is, the spirit must pay a certain fine or be tested by certain sins. To help pass this test can be their own virtues, which the deceased acquired while on earth.
From a spiritual point of view, this is not a tribute to the Lord, but a complete awareness and recognition of everything that tormented a person during his lifetime and with which he was not able to fully cope. Only hope in Christ and His mercy can help the soul overcome this line.
The Orthodox Lives of the Saints contain many descriptions of ordeals. Their stories are extremely vivid and written in sufficient detail so that one can vividly imagine all the pictures described.
Icon of the Ordeal of Blessed Theodora
Especially detailed description can be found at St. Basil the New, in his life, which contains the story of the blessed Theodora about her ordeals. She mentions 20 trials by sins, among which are:
- the word - it can heal or kill, it is the beginning of the world, according to the Gospel of John. The sins that are contained in the word are not empty statements, they have the same sin as material, perfect deeds. There is no difference between cheating on your husband or saying it out loud while dreaming - the sin is the same. Such sins include rudeness, obscenity, idle talk, incitement, blasphemy;
- lie or deceit - any untruth spoken by a person is a sin. This also includes perjury and perjury, which are serious sins, as well as dishonest trial and undertaking;
- gluttony is not only the delight of one's stomach, but also any indulgence of carnal passion: drunkenness, nicotine addiction or drug addiction;
- laziness, along with hack-work and parasitism;
- theft - any act, the consequence of which is the appropriation of someone else's, belong here: theft, fraud, fraud, etc .;
- stinginess is not only greed, but also thoughtless acquisition of everything, i.e. hoarding. This category also includes bribery, and denial of alms, as well as extortion and extortion;
- envy - visual theft and greed for someone else's;

- fortune-telling - turning to grandmothers or psychics is a sin, it is written there in Scripture;
- fornication is any lascivious actions: watching pornography, masturbation, erotic fantasies, etc.;

memorial days
This includes not only the first three important days(third, ninth and fortieth), but any holidays and simple days when loved ones remember the deceased, they commemorate him.
The word "commemoration" means commemoration, i.e. memory. And first of all, it is a prayer, and not just a thought or bitterness from separation from the dead.
Advice! Prayer is performed in order to ask the Creator for mercy for the deceased and justify him, even if he did not deserve it himself. According to the canons of the Orthodox Church, the Lord can change His decision about the deceased if his relatives actively pray and ask for him, doing alms and good deeds in his memory.
It is especially important to do this in the first month and the 40th day, when the soul comes before God. For all 40 days, magpie is read, by prayer every day, and in special days funeral service ordered. Together with prayer, relatives visit the church and cemetery these days, serve alms and distribute memorial treats in memory of the deceased. Such memorial dates include subsequent anniversaries of death, as well as special church holidays to commemorate the dead.
The Holy Fathers also write that the deeds and good deeds of the living can also cause a change in God's judgment on the deceased. The afterlife is full of secrets and mysteries, none of the living knows anything about it for sure. But the worldly path of each is the indicator that can point to the place where the spirit of man will spend all eternity.
