Think About This…

A friend of mine had been talking about how she felt that her grandmother, when she passed, had become a part of her new born son. Many religions and beliefs believe in an after life. So, I was pondering this thought.

There was a scientific study, where they weighed a person moments before they died and then just after they died and found that a person loses about 10% of their body weight when they die. Now, if you ask me to quote the study, I can not because I read this years ago. As I get older, I can’t remember where I have read things, but at least I am still remembering what I have read.

Yes, the “haters” as I have seen it quoted will say that it was the weight of the oxygen on the final exhale as well as the loss of bodily functions. Well, I do not believe that you lose that much in excrements and oxygen. There is something else that goes as well. As we have come to know, energy can not be created or destroyed, so the “energy” of your body is being transposed. Call it a soul or what you will, but I do believe this does happen.

The reason I bring this up is because I, too, often wonder if my father was passed on into my daughter. No, not by my genes, but by some Ultimate Power, if you will, it is my father. My grandmother gave me a picture of my father when he was about two or so. The other day, I compared it to a picture of my youngest daughter when she was the same age. Other then one being male and the other female, they had the same facial expressions and looked exactly alike. It was eerie, but I wonder if my father interceded because at the time my ex found out she was pregnant with Kenzie, we were separated. I truly wonder if he got involved and brought me back long enough to see her born and go through the trials of her being premature.

If he was trying to help save my family, I applaud his efforts, but sadly that did not come about. But here is the thing; I still see facial expressions in Kenz that are my dad’s. Just little smiles, mannerisms, etc. make me truly believe that he is inside of her or at least a part of him is.

So, what are your thoughts? Are we insane for believing this or is there something truly there. The ancient Hebrews believed in what is known as the “Guf” which is known as the hall of souls. As I stated, most religions believe in an after life, so, what do we do in it? Where do we go and how do we continue on? Hmmm
