Hi Ndungu,
When we lose a loved one, we try to make-believe that he is in a "better place" which could be true, but one thing is.. we all know that the body of the person is in a grave somewhere. So is it that the grave is the better place or are we a different entity from out bodies? I believe we are not our body. I am not myu body just the same as I am not my shirt. But when you look at me, you see my body and my shirt and everything else [almost, heh heh] that is on me. That therefore means that there is an inner being. The one who loves, hates, feels, thinks etc, and that being is unseen, trapped in this body. I believe that when we die, the body remains here, but that inner being drifts into a different dimension. This might not make sense, which is understandable, seeing as none of us has ever died, but have you ever watched a person die? They talk of seeing things that you don't see yourself. Could it be that the inner being is drifting to a different dimension hence the "hallucinations"? They could be real, you never know. But that is just what I believe. As for where we go, I believe in what the Bible teaches, not because i have been taught to believe in its teachings, but because of a personal experience from which I reckoned that the Bible is true. It talks of where people go when their lives on earth is done. I believe in what it teaches about that.
