Question Can dead people see us?

Based on your personal beliefs, do you think dead people can see everything we're doing? For example, close family members?

If we're doing something that a dead relative did not agree with when he or she was alive, do you think we're somehow letting them down if we do it when they are dead?

Your question comes from being afraid of doing something a dead person would not approve of.

What are you afraid of?

Are dead people really dead, or simply still alive in another form? To be dead requires a state of non existence, yet that would only be possible in a void. Yet perhaps it could be argued there is no such thing as a void, otherwise existence would not be.

So yes, I do believe 'dead', to use your term, people can be aware of the living. Perhaps the question should really be whether we are still relevant to them in their fresh existence / incarnation.

You have to live 'your' life for yourself. Love yourself first and the rest comes. Also why would the opinion of someone dead matter more than someone who was still alive (speaking conventionally). The key word here is 'thought / think'. Surely their status of existence is neither here nor there?

"Seeing" requires eyes - Souls/spirits don't have eyes.

The Ego of that person no longer exists, and their spirit is merged back into The ALL (unless you believe in reincarnation, in which case it could be in a different body with a different Ego).
