what happens to small stars when they die

Life after expiry: Where do we get after we die, and what happens in the afterlife?

The innumerable recorded and researched cases of by life experiences clearly point to life later decease. Various institutions take performed research about the afterlife, near death experiences, or about consciousness after decease, finding proof that life continues afterward death. In that location have been many cases of near death experiences where people take had an encounter with the afterlife, such as 'seeing the lite', or coming together their loved ones who passed away. In all the recorded cases of reincarnations, information technology was also found that after expiry and before adjacent birth on Earth, in that location was a variable fourth dimension lag.

So, where exercise nosotros go after decease till our reincarnation on Earth?  What is life similar in the afterlife? Is there a single plane of being or are there a variety of planes of being?  If then, what are the factors that decide where we become after decease? In this article, we present the answers to these and other questions virtually life later on death. These answers are obtained through spiritual research washed past seekers of the Spiritual Science Enquiry Foundation (SSRF) with highly developed sixth sense (ESP).

one. What happens after death?

Spiritual research has shown that man is comprised of the following four basic bodies:

• Concrete
• Mental
• Causal or intellectual
• Supracausal or subtle ego

The pic below is a diagrammatic representation of what a human being is comprised of.

When a person dies the physical torso ceases to exist. All the same, the residue of the existence or consciousness continues. The existence of the person minus the physical body is known as the subtle torso (linga-dēha ) and it comprises of the mental, causal (intellect) and supracausal (subtle ego) bodies. In the afterlife, this subtle torso then goes to 1 of the 13 subtle planes of existence other than the Earth plane.

2. Where we get subsequently decease: 14 planes of existence in the Universe

There are 14 chief planes of existence in the Universe. Vii of them are positive and seven are negative. The seven negative planes are commonly known as Hell (Pātāl ). There are numerous sub-planes within these master planes.

According to an evolved Saint, Adi Shankaracharya from India (8th - ninth century AD), Righteousness (Dharma) is that which accomplishes the 3 tasks of :

1. Keeping the social system in an excellent condition
2. Bringing about the worldly progress of every living being
3. Causing progress in the spiritual realm as well.

 – Shri Adi Shankaracharya

Seven positive planes of existence: Occupied generally by living persons and subtle bodies after death doing righteous deeds and engaged in spiritual practise co-ordinate to the positive path of spiritual practice, they are too known every bit the seven positive regions or saptalok. By positive path, nosotros mean the orientation of spiritual exercise is towards God-realisation, which is the ultimate in spiritual growth.

The World plane is the just physical plane of beingness in the Universe and is besides the beginning one in the bureaucracy of the positive planes in the Universe.

Seven Negative planes of being: These are occupied more often than not past subtle bodies after death that have washed unrighteous deeds and are engaged in spiritual practice according to the negative path. By negative path, nosotros mean the orientation of spiritual practice is towards attaining spiritual power, e.g. supernatural powers. This spiritual power is primarily used to enhance 1's control over others or for negative purposes. Thus all subtle bodies that go to any one of the planes of existence of Hell, by virtue of their evil intentions get ghosts.

Refer to the article on, 'What is a ghost'?

Sub planes of Hell (Narak): Every region of Hell has a sub-plane known as Narak. For example, the starting time level of Hell volition take within it a sub-plane that is known as the starting time Narak. Narak is reserved for the worst ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) in Hell. The ghosts occupying the first Narak face more severe punishment and for a longer duration than those occupying the showtime level of Hell.

The diagram below shows the xiv planes of existence in the Universe.

Life continues afterwards death either in positive or in negative planes of being

Please note:
1. For the sake of simplicity, though nosotros have shown the planes of existence one on top of the other in this diagram, in reality they are around u.s.a. in all directions. It'southward merely that World existence the physically tangible plane is seen; whereas the other planes are progressively more and more subtle and hence invisible to the gross center. In fact different people, though living on the Globe plane experience thoughts and emotions corresponding to the different planes as per their spiritual level or thoughts. For case Saints, i.e. spiritually evolved people beyond the 70% spiritual level, lead an existence respective to the positive planes of existence of Heaven and across. In contrast a person planning theft experiences thoughts corresponding to the 1st plane of Hell, i planning some act aimed at harming others at the 2nd airplane of Hell and and then on. A person planning murder experiences thoughts corresponding to the 7th airplane of Hell. Still no 2 planes can be experienced simultaneously, i.e. a person cannot experience thoughts respective to 2 different planes, e.1000. Sky and Mahārlok.

2. The Nether region (Bhuvarlok) to be precise is a region that is aligned away from God. Nosotros have notwithstanding depicted it as a positive plane as after death, the subtle bodies from this region nonetheless have a gamble to be born on Earth to progress spiritually.
One time subtle bodies backslide to any of the regions of Hell, then there is a remote possibility of their existence born on Globe and progressing towards God.

An explanation backside the colour scheme used

• Earth is depicted ruby as it represents activity (i.e. subtle bones Raja component), as it is the only plane where nosotros have the concrete body to exercise something.
• Heaven has been depicted in pink, which represents an affluence of happiness.
• Yellow represents spiritual knowledge and an increase in the subtle bones Sattva component. It finally becomes nearly white at the highest phase, which represents the shut proximity to the unmanifest God principle.
• The regions of Hell are represented by darker shades to black, every bit there is an increase in the subtle bones Tama component.

Footnotes (based on the numbers in red in the above table):

1. Each positive and negative plane of beingness beyond the Globe (concrete) region becomes more and more subtle. By subtle, nosotros mean, that which is beyond the comprehension of the five senses, heed and intellect. Satyalok is the subtlest positive airplane, and therefore is the almost hard to perceive or cover unless the highest sixth sense (ESP) level is attained.
2. Due to lack of spiritual practise and a higher proportion of demerits (sins), well-nigh people in the current era go to either the Nether world or one of the planes of existence of Hell in their life afterwards death. We generally become to the Nether world later decease when the proportion of demerits (incurred due to incorrect doings on Earth) is approximately 30%. Demerits typically include malice towards others and a lot of desires. In the afterlife, the likelihood of existence attacked in the Nether world past higher-level ghosts from the lower airplane of beingness of Hell is virtually certain.
3. Earth is the only airplane where there is an amalgamation of people with varying spiritual levels. However, in afterlife, we go to the precise subtle region respective to our spiritual level.
4. The minimum spiritual level required to attain Heaven in life after death is xl%. Please refer to the article, which describes what spiritual level is and the breakdown of the world population in 2016 according to spiritual level. This breakdown is valid up until the coming World War 3. Basically from the Spiritual science perspective, meritorious acts to attain Heaven or the higher positive planes of existence in afterlife are those acts washed without expectation with the objective of God-realisation. The post-obit 3 criteria can be applied in life later on death:
   • Acts done without doership, i.e., with the outlook that God Himself is getting it done from me and hence I cannot lay claim to whatever credit.
   • Done without expectation of acclaim or appreciation.
   • Washed without expectation of results. More than the acts per se, it is the attitude or outlook behind the acts that counts more than.

   Information technology is important to note that subtle bodies in their life afterwards death at the borderline of just xl% and thereabouts often become pulled back by negative energies and hence remain in the Under globe (Bhuvarlok).

5. To attain a higher aeroplane of existence in the afterlife that is beyond Sky in the afterlife, one needs to be at a spiritual level college than 60%. This tin but exist achieved by consistent spiritual exercise according to the half-dozen bones laws of spiritual exercise along with a major reduction in ego.
6. By predominant body, nosotros hateful the body that is most active, i.eastward., mental, intellect or the subtle ego. For example, in the Nether region (Bhuvarlok), the subtle bodies nevertheless have a lot of desires and attachments. Every bit a consequence, quite often they become ghosts trying to fulfil some desire of theirs through their descendants or people on Earth. This leaves them open to college-level negative energies from the lower regions of Hell; who take reward of their cravings then as to affect people on Earth.
7. In the Under world, subtle bodies experience but unhappiness equally desires cannot be fulfilled.
8. In Heaven, subtle bodies feel an overabundance of happiness. This happiness is much beyond the happiness experienced on Earth in quantity, quality and elapsing. As we go up the positive planes, there is an increase in the quality of happiness and no unhappiness.
9. Sāttvik happiness means happiness derived from helping others without any expectations or strings attached. When ego is involved in the act, it becomes rājasik.
10. Serenity is a higher spiritual experience than Bliss.

3.1 Life after death in positive planes of existence and reincarnation on Earth

After expiry, from the subtle planes beneath Maharlok, people demand to exist reincarnated on the World airplane in order to settle their destiny and complete their give-and-take accounts. If after death 1 attains higher regions such every bit Maharlok or Janalok due to college spiritual level, i does not need to be reincarnated as all of the individual's remaining destiny (accumulated account) can exist worked out from these planes themselves. Nevertheless, these evolved subtle bodies in their life afterward death may choose to be built-in of their ain will. They do and then because of their expansive nature primarily to act every bit spiritual guides for humanity and to help gild grow spiritually.

In some circumstances people even below the spiritual level of lx% can attain Maharlok. Here the person'due south potential for further spiritual growth in the afterlife is considered. Through spiritual research nosotros have plant that that there are five factors that influence this potential for further spiritual growth.

• Having a high corporeality of spiritual emotion (bhāv),
• Having a low ego,
• Having an intense desire for spiritual growth,
• Doing regular spiritual practice of increasingly higher levels,
• Afflicted or not afflicted by negative energies. Being afflicted/possessed past negative energies tin severely obstruct the ability for spiritual growth. In the afterlife such affected subtle bodies even if they are at a spiritual level of 60% can exist obstructed from reaching the higher subtle regions of the Universe past negative energies.

3.2 The importance of the Globe plane

The World is very important. It is the but region where we can make rapid spiritual growth and settle our requite-and-have account in the shortest period of time. The main reason for this is that with the help of the physical torso, nosotros can do many things to enhance our spiritual growth and spiritual level and reduce the basic subtle Tama component.

Other than Earth, spiritual growth after death is mostly likely to occur simply in the regions beyond Heaven such every bit Maharlok etc. This is because afterwards death in Heaven, the subtle bodies run the adventure of getting caught up in the unending pleasures information technology offers. The punishment in Life later decease in the Nether and Hell regions is so severe and besides the distress from the other college-level ghosts is such that information technology becomes very difficult to rise above the suffering to undertake any spiritual practice of value.

4. Afterlife in the negative regions: Who goes to Hell afterwards death and what is Hell like?

Aeroplane of being of Hell (Pātāl)	% of Sattva component	Type of person	Predominant body	Predominant emotion
1st	28%	↓	Physical	↓
2nd	25%	↓	Desires part of  the mental body	↓
3rd	22%	↓	Mental torso	↓
4th	xix%	Increasingly tāmasik	Intellect / Causal	Increasing unhappiness
5th	16%	↓	Intellect / Causal	↓
sixth	thirteen%	↓	Intellect / Causal	↓
seventh	x%	↓	Intellect / Causal	↓

• As one goes to lower planes of existence of Hell, the subtle basic Sattva component progressively reduces the environs becomes less conducive to the feel of happiness.
• Within Hell, there are some ghosts who do certain types of spiritual practice to proceeds spiritual power. The highest in the hierarchy of ghosts are sorcerers from the seventh region of Hell. They have immense spiritual power most equivalent to a Saint at the 90% spiritual level. They control all the other types of ghosts with lesser spiritual power.
• As one goes deeper into the various regions of Hell, i.due east. from 1st to 7th, the extent of happiness experienced past the subtle bodies therein goes on decreasing and the extent of unhappiness goes on multiplying. The minimal experience of happiness is also due to being engrossed in memories of past positive events, pleasant memories of wealth in a past life, etc. The feel of unhappiness is due to memories of physical pain and insulting events, memories of unfulfilled desires, e.chiliad. regarding pedagogy, house, career, expectation of happiness from children in past life.
• The extent of punishment/pain to be endured in Hell and their associated Narak goes on increasing with the subsequent aeroplane. Too, the catamenia of punishment to be endured in each Narak is in backlog compared to the corresponding plane of existence of Hell. If we consider the punishment in offset level of Hell as 100%, and so the punishment in the respective first Narak region is 50% more, i.e. 150%.

The following table is a description of examples along with the average intensity of happiness and unhappiness we feel in the diverse planes of existence of Hell.

Plane of Hell (Pātāl)	% of happiness1	Case of happiness	% of unhappinessi	Example of unhappiness
1st	30%	Experience of happiness by existence engrossed in memories of positive events in past life	50%	Experience of unhappiness due to memories of physical pain and insulting events in past life
2d	25%	Pleasant memories of wealthy in the worldly transactions	55%	Experience of unhappiness due to memories of unfulfilled desires, e.g. pedagogy, house, career, happiness from children
3rd	20%	Experience of happiness by remembering the fulfilled desires in past life	60%	Unhappiness due to unfulfilled desires owing to lack of a physical body
4th	fifteen%	Momentary happiness by viewing suffering of others and the feeling that there are others in the same gunkhole, that one is non alone in suffering	seventy%	Beginning of mental suffering due the innumerable sufferings in Hell and the foul smell
5th	10%	Momentary happiness with the thought that someone someday volition rellieve one of the suffering	lxxx%	A life of slavery to sorcerers, an overwhelming extreme dejection due the thoughts that one volition never escape the suffering
6th	–	None	90%	Severe mental torture due to extreme suffering
7th	–	None	100%	The abiding suffering bringing most a feeling of apathy
Note 1:In the nigh cases, columns of happiness and unhappiness exercise non add up to 100%. The reason is that the remaining pct is when the subtle bodies in Hell are in a state of neutral emotion. For example, when doing some mundane chore and not having happy or unhappy thoughts.

v. Movement of subtle bodies betwixt subtle planes of being in the Universe after expiry

In the afterlife, ane is assigned that plane of existence which matches one'south basic nature in terms of Sattva, Raja and Tama after death. This is also a function of 1's spiritual level. Hence, subtle bodies from lower positive subtle regions in the afterlife cannot go to higher positive subtle regions and those from showtime or 2nd negative planes of beingness cannot get to the deeper planes of Hell. This is similar to how people living in the planes find breathing difficult at higher altitudes, merely people staying at higher altitudes manage fine.

six. What decides where we go later on death?

At the fourth dimension of death, every bit the concrete trunk becomes inactive the vital energy used for the functioning of the physical body is liberated into the Universe. This vital energy at the time of death propels the subtle body abroad from the Earth region. Just equally the weight of a projectile decides how far a rocket will propel information technology, similarly the weight of the subtle body decides which plane of existence information technology goes to in its life later decease.

The 'weight' of the subtle body is primarily a role of the amount of the subtle bones Tama component in our being.

Where we go in the afterlife depends on our deeds
and on the proportion of the three bones components in u.s.

The 3 subtle basic components: Each 1 of usa is made up of 3 subtle basic components orguṇas . These components are spiritual in nature and cannot be seen simply they define our personalities. They are:

• Sattva: Purity and cognition
• Raja: Activity and passion
• Tama: Ignorance and inertia In an average person in the current era, the basic subtle Tama component is as loftier as 50%.

Please read the article on the 3 subtle basic components.

The more than we are filled with the Raja and Tama components the more we display the post-obit characteristics which add to our 'weight' and impact which subtle region we go to in our life after decease:

• More attachment to worldly things and selfishness
• More than unfulfilled desires
• Feelings of revenge
• Higher amount of demerits or wrong-doings
• Higher amount of personality defects such as anger, greed, fear, etc.
• A higher amount of ego: By ego we hateful how much a person identifies himself with his body, mind and intellect as opposed to the soul inside
• Resulting in lower spiritual level

A permanent reduction in the proportion of the subtle basic Tama component and the related characteristics mentioned above come virtually only with sustained spiritual practice according to the half dozen bones laws of spiritual practice and will help us in our life after death. Psychological improvements with self-help books or trying to exist dainty are at best superficial and temporary.

6.ane Importance of the mental state at the time of death

The mental state at the bespeak of decease, apart from what has been mentioned to a higher place, is very important. Our mental state is generally relative to the proportion of the subtle bones components in our beingness.

If a person is actually doing his spiritual practise such as chanting the Name of God at the time of death and so the influence of desires, attachments, ghosts, etc. are minimal possible for that person compared to his state when not chanting. This makes his subtle body lighter. Hence, if he passes abroad while chanting, he attains a better plane of being in life later on decease among the sub-planes than what he would have attained were he to pass abroad without chanting.

At the time of death, if a person is chanting the Name of God and is also in a country of give up to God'southward will, so he attains an even improve plane of beingness in his life after decease and his sojourn is undertaken with lightning speed. This is because the person being in a land of surrender on Earth region itself, has very less chance of increasing his ego in his life later death. Besides, the unabridged responsibleness of his well-being in the afterlife is undertaken by his evolved spiritual guide (Guru).

6.2 Who goes to Hell afterward death?

The following are the types of deeds in our life on Earth that typically state u.s. in one of the regions of Hell in life afterward death.

Plane of Hell (Pātāl)	% of demerits	Case of the type of demerit
1st	xl%	Causing impairment limited to individuals
2nd	50%	Causing harm to parts of society like swindling many people simultaneously equally in large scale fraud
3rd	55%	Causing harm to big parts of society similar adulterating food or medicines, etc.
quaternary	sixty%	Organized harm to parts of order – violence associated with firearms included
5th	seventy%	Instigating others to cause harm to society
6th	80%	Causing harm within/to office of a nation
7th	ninety%	Causing harm to a nation as a whole and to those working for society

The extent, duration and intention backside the wrong-doings are important factors deciding the level of Hell attained after death rather than just the action itself.

7. Life subsequently death in case of suicide

Coming soon..

8. After death and earlier next birth – Why is there a time lag between two reincarnations?

In the course of research by using hypnotic trance to trace the past lives of the person, it has been establish that the time lag between two reincarnations on World could exist on average 50 to 400 years. The reasons for this time lag are every bit follows:

• After decease, the subtle body remains in the Heaven or the Under region for variable periods of time to undergo its merits and demerits (sins).
• Circumstances on Earth need to be favourable to complete the discussion account from previous births with various people. This is in accordance with the police of Karma. The reincarnation of the subtle torso is postponed until the fourth dimension various other people who they take a requite-and-accept account with are also preparing to take reincarnation.
• Sometimes in past life regression, a person does not written report a reincarnation in the trance state. The reason for this is that a certain reincarnation has been very uneventful or brief and the person may not remember any details of it.

In the case of subtle bodies that have been relegated to the deeper regions of Hell after expiry, the time lag between ii reincarnations may be thousands of years. They stay in their respective region of Hell until such time they have completed their punishment. In virtually cases, this means languishing in plane of beingness of Hell in their life after death till the dissolution of the Universe.

ix. Life after death – in summary

The above facts about the various planes of existence give united states a fair idea of the possible consequences in our life after death of how nosotros alive our lives. Only with spiritual practice or with extreme meritorious deeds can ane go to the college subtle regions and thereby avert unhappiness and punishment and savor college levels of happiness in life afterward death. At that place are also meliorate chances of a reincarnation on Earth plane in circumstances conducive to spiritual practice. This is so that one moves further upward in the subtle planes in the Universe. As we get further into the electric current Era of Strife (Kaliyug), there is lesser likelihood of people going to the higher planes of existence after decease.

Once we become to the lower subtle planes such as the Nether region or other regions of Hell after expiry, nosotros stay in that location and feel severe unhappiness for centuries until we completely pay for our demerits (sins) by suffering the intense punishments meted there and go a risk to be reincarnated on Earth.

To practise consequent spiritual practice on the World airplane of existence according to the 6 basic laws of spiritual practise is similar swimming confronting the tide in the electric current era. However, it is too a guaranteed way of advancing to higher subtle regions in our life afterward expiry.
