Do You Know Where You Will Go After You Die?

People live without knowing the reason they were born and then they die and pass on to the next world. Since the beginning of time countless people have lived and died. The correct answer to the title above can only be known after one dies and goes to the next world. No one has ever known the answer because no one has ever truly died.

In the Bible and Buddhist scriptures, it is said that "good" people will go to heaven and that "bad" people will go to hell. Everyone who is born in the world must eventually die, but those who are fearful of death are comforted by their religion. However only a few people, or perhaps none, are certain of where they go after they die. Many have put in a great effort to find the answer, but there is no one who actually knows.

While man is living in the world, he lives from the energy drawn from the food he eats. What happens when his body disappears? Man does not have the answer to this question. Only the sky - Truth, the great Universe, the Creator- knows the answer.

Let's think about things from the perspective of the sky, the great Universe. Where did and where will the many people who lived or are now living in the world go? Those who live inside their minds worlds - which are illusions and pictures that overlap the real world- will go to their mind worlds because it is all they have. Those who have become one with the world will be reborn and live in the world. It is the mind that sees, hears, speaks and smells. Therefore, even when the body passes away, one who is reborn in the true world will live forever because he is Truth and without death.

From the viewpoint of the sky, the Universe, the world of illusion copied from the real world does not exist - therefore a person who lives within the world also does not exist.

Hell exists, but does not exist; does no exist and yet exists. Hell does not exist. The self-made non-existent world that one traps himself into of his own accord is hell. Just as everyone lives according to what they have in their minds, a person who has the illusionary world in his mind mistakenly believes that he is alive. Everyone who dies, without exception, goes to hell that is death itself. Only those who have been resurrected as Truth while they are living will live forever in the land of Truth. We must go to heaven and attain eternal life while we are still alive.

People commonly believe that they will go to heaven or hell after they die. No one knows what heaven is, because they are already living in hell. Only a person who has been born in heaven knows both heaven and hell. Only when one's self disappears from the world is it possible to be resurrected in the complete world of God. There is a Korean saying that you can know the afterworld only after you die. Man can only know the afterworld if he has completely died while he is still living and only such a person will be reborn as Truth and live forever. One must die in order to be reborn or resurrected for how can it happen otherwise?
