We sometimes hear people claim that they know, without a doubt, that in the afterlife you don't have a body. They feel sure that you don't eat or drink, and you float around as a kind of blissful disembodied awareness.

While that might have been what they were taught, or even what they experienced during a NDE, it is important to keep an open mind. Many lines of evidence suggest that in the initial stages people find themselves at a "receiving station" in a world that is very physical and similar to life here. Then gradually through 'continuous refinement' they can make their way upward through ever more beautiful and less physical levels and planes of existence.

Modern afterlife researchers have thousands of sources from which to gather information - the best mental and physical mediums, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, after-death contacts, instrumental transcommunication, deathbed reunions, etc. They analyse the credibility of the witnesses and compare and contrast the experiences across different countries and cultures, and time. And from them the verdict is in.

OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCERS AGREE ON THE SOLIDITY OF THE AFTERLIFE

Out-of-body explorers are unanimous that the lower levels of the astral world are solid and earth-like. Jurgen Ziewe has been having out-of-body experiences for hours in full waking consciousness for over forty-five years. He explains that we need to get used to the fact that our "afterlife" will be more real not less real, more "physical" not less "physical". To get inspiration and more in-depth knowledge of the astral worlds, see Jurgen's recent book "Elysium Unveiled". The video below is set to open at the description of where the average person finds themself.
