Would it make any difference if all people understood the real nature of the afterlife? We hope that it would/will make a big difference! We only need to look at the life-changing effects of Near-Death Experiences on those who have them to get some idea of how transformative such knowledge can be.

1) First and foremost it would reduce the hopeless and helpless grief that comes from the false belief that we will never see our loved ones again after they die.

2) It would take away the needless fear of death, judgment, and hellfire.

3) It would take away the hostility between different religions and help people to realise that there are many paths to spiritual growth.

4) Once we realise that qualities like unselfishness, compassion, gentleness, and kindness prepare people best for the afterlife, our society will come to value and nurture these qualities and transform the world.

5) It would automatically reduce the work of the many millions of wonderful souls in the afterlife who have to counsel the uninformed on crossing over.
