So is it that when you die you go to the astral plane, or at least you travel through the astral plane to get to the afterlife?
Im trying to better understand death. It doesnt scare me as much as i thought it would, even now that i usually answer my own questions with an atheist point of veiw.
Its just hard to talk about such things with the people i love who have so much faith in their religion because they are too afraid or dont want to hear about the posibility that there is nothing after our life on earth and that the ones they have lost are gone. I can accept the posibility, but it still scares me to an extent.
I have not been to the astral plane, as far as i know. but i wonder if its only subjective, like its just a intense dream, or if its a place only reached by conscious living beings and once your dead your just gone.
Im just having a hard time understanding since i have yet to have any strong experience with the paranormal. The closest ive gotten to any of the things talked about on this forum is a few short lucid dreams, but i am looking forward to better understanding life and death.
