Theory of heaven and hell


The process of influence by thoughts start much before our birth. When a person is in his mother's womb, he gets influenced by her mother's thoughts and how her mother perceives the world, start influencing his thoughts. That is the reason why it is said that a pregnant mother should think of good things happening around her. Also, it is advised for care to be taken so that she does not go through any negative emotions such as trauma, anger, depression,etc.

After birth, the newborn gets influenced depending on how people explain things to him and how much he reasons the explanations given to him. This influence continues throughout his life. But the amazing thing is death. No one has ever tried to explain what happens to our thoughts after death.

The thoughts play an important role even at the time of death. Suppose the person dying has done bad deeds throughout his life and he has been told by everyone that a person who has done bad deeds will have a bad death and will rot in hell and so on. He starts forming such thoughts at the time of his death.

Suppose a person is going to die in 30 seconds from now. First few seconds he will start feeling fear. His senses start fading, then he starts feeling difficulty in breathing, then his heartbeat stops. After all these natural events, what happened to his thoughts?

His thoughts still prevail. Many religions say that even after death the person can feel what is happening to him for a long time. That's because of his thoughts. His thoughts forces him to create an eternal illusion of getting tormented. He creates an illusion of hell depending upon the negative thoughts he has experienced and created throughout his life.

On the other hand, a person who has done good deeds and has no guilt at the end will feel the exact opposite. He will create his own illusion of heaven. Yes, you heard it right "an illusion" of heaven.

Now, hinduism, buddhism and several others has a concept of moksha. Moksha is not creating either heaven or hell. A person who has understood the fact that heaven and hell is an illusion. At the time of death, such a person feels complete and feels unified to the eternity.

But at the end, the thoughts at the time of death cannot be controlled voluntarily. You develop that kind of thought through your deeds during your life. So, if your deeds happen only because you want to go to heaven after death, then start thinking once again!
