(Or:
"Critical on afterlife research and its attempts - with the help of radio waves, tapes and TV monitors - to capture voices and images from the afterlife")
Let's assume that there is one There is a soul and an afterlife - after all, these are concepts from the area of faith - then the messages from a soul would be those of a messenger from a new, exotic world. From this point of view, it seems downright unsatisfactory when only everyday things can be heard from the receivers of the afterlife researchers, such as: "I didn't want to leave you yet, but my time was up. I saw you crying." Etc.
Should we really just settle for trivial things? We could expect much more from a real voice from the afterlife - namely answers to certain precise, legitimate questions that have preoccupied humanity for millennia, but are predominantly of interest to modern people. For example:
1) What is the afterlife like? What exactly is happening “over there”? Are heaven, hell and purgatory a reality there or not? If so, what are the moments of heavenly bliss and hellish torment?
2) Can the soul perhaps “tell” us how God is structured? How many contacts of what kind has she had with him? What concept of the world does God actually have?
3) And angels - are they real? If so, what do they look like or how can they be recognized (for other spiritual beings) and distinguished from one another? What “daily routine” and what functions do they have?
4) Do “otherworldly” people also have an individual appearance? If yes - with what criteria? If not, how can they even recognize each other since there are no differences? Shouldn't there be absolute silence "over there" - how and with what do spirits articulate themselves? How and with what do astral bodies or similar things move?
5) How many billions of earthly souls and how many trillion/trillion (or even more?) extraterrestrial spirit beings are now moving in the “Eternal Hunting Grounds”? What comes out of the afterlife researchers' devices is at most a small voice, but one would expect (considering the massing) a jumble of voices, right?
6) What does “ALL day” look like in Nirvana? Is it the same for all spirits or is there some kind of division of tasks, even “class differences”? Do the “otherworldly” really manage to completely shed their previously earthly skin or are there “Terra relics” such as pressure to perform, competitive thinking and prestige posturing? What appearance and behavior do the “souls” of former babies who died before, during or shortly after birth show? They are without any earthly experience, "suffering-purification procedures" (for many they lead to human maturity) and evaluation criteria (sin register) for special qualifications for the afterlife (heaven, hell, etc.)!
7) How many known and (formerly) related spirit beings has the soul already gotten to know in its new home? How many "veterans of the afterlife" (famous on earth) - such as Adam and Eve, Caligula or Hitler - has she already met there? How do they behave in their new sphere of activity?
8) Where is “the afterlife” actually? Close to Earth, as the proximity of the voices in the receiver suggests, or somewhere in the depths of the cosmos - even beyond? Maybe in another universe (keyword “entrance gate black hole”)? Does it even have a spatial dimension?
