Is there that light and what is there. High councils and high courts

After death, what awaits us? Probably each of us asked this question. Death scares many people. Usually it is fear that makes us look for an answer to the question: "After death, what awaits us?" However, not only him. People often cannot come to terms with the loss of loved ones, and this forces them to look for evidence that there is life after death. Sometimes simple curiosity drives us in this matter. One way or another, life after death interests many.

Afterlife of the Hellenes

Perhaps non-existence is the most terrible thing in death. People are afraid of the unknown, the emptiness. In this respect, the ancient inhabitants of the Earth were more protected than us. Ellin, for example, knew for sure that he would be brought to trial, and then passed through the corridor of Erebus (the underworld). If she turns out to be unworthy, she will go to Tartarus. If she proves herself well, she will receive immortality and will be on the Champs Elysees in bliss and joy. Therefore, the Greek lived without fear of uncertainty. However, our contemporaries are not so simple. Many of those living today doubt what awaits us after death.

This is what all religions agree on

Religions and scriptures of all times and peoples of the world, differing in many provisions and issues, show unanimity that the existence of people after death continues. In ancient Egypt, Greece, India, Babylon, they believed in the immortality of the soul. Therefore, we can say that this is the collective experience of mankind. However, could he have appeared by chance? Is there any other basis in it than the desire for eternal life, and from what do modern church fathers start, who do not doubt that the soul is immortal?

You can say that, of course, everything is clear with them. Everyone knows the story of hell and heaven. The Church Fathers in this matter are like the Hellenes, who are clad in the armor of faith and are not afraid of anything. Really, Holy Scriptures(New and old testaments) for Christians are the main source of their faith in life after death. It is reinforced by the Epistles of the Apostles and others. Believers are not afraid of physical death, since it seems to them just an entrance into another life, into existence together with Christ.

Life after death in terms of Christianity

According to the Bible, earthly existence is a preparation for the future life. After death, the soul remains with everything that she did, good and bad. Therefore, from the very death of the physical body (even before the Judgment), joys or sufferings begin for her. This is determined by how this or that soul lived on earth. The days of commemoration after death are 3, 9 and 40 days. Why exactly them? Let's figure it out.

Immediately after death, the soul leaves the body. In the first 2 days, she, freed from his shackles, enjoys freedom. At this time, the soul can visit those places on earth that were especially dear to her during her lifetime. However, on the 3rd day after death, she is already in other areas. Christianity knows the revelation given by St. Macarius of Alexandria (died 395) as an angel. He said that when an offering is made in the church on the 3rd day, the soul of the deceased receives from the angel guarding her, relief in grief due to separation from the body. She receives it because an offering and a doxology have been made in the church, which is why a good hope appears in her soul. The angel also said that for 2 days the deceased is allowed to walk the earth along with the angels who are with him. If the soul loves the body, then sometimes it wanders near the house in which it parted with it, or near the coffin where it is laid. And the virtuous soul goes to the places where it did the right thing. On the third day, she ascends to heaven to worship God. Then, after worshiping him, he shows her the beauty of paradise and the abode of the saints. The soul considers all this for 6 days, glorifying the Creator. Admiring all this beauty, she changes and ceases to mourn. However, if the soul is guilty of any sins, then it begins to reproach itself, seeing the pleasures of the saints. She realizes that in her earthly life she was engaged in the satisfaction of her lusts and did not serve God, therefore she has no right to be rewarded with his goodness.

After the soul has considered all the joys of the righteous for 6 days, that is, on the 9th day after death, it again ascends to the worship of God by angels. That is why the church on the 9th day makes services and offerings for the deceased. God, after the second worship, now commands to send the soul to hell and show the places of torment that are there. For 30 days, the soul rushes through these places, trembling. She doesn't want to be condemned to hell. What happens 40 days after death? The soul ascends again to worship God. After that, he determines the place that she deserves, according to her deeds. Thus, the 40th day is the boundary that finally separates earthly life from eternal life. From a religious point of view, this is an even more tragic date than the fact of physical death. 3, 9 and 40 days after death - this is the time when you should especially actively pray for the deceased. Prayers can help his soul in the afterlife.

The question arises about what happens to a person after a year of death. Why are commemorations held every year? It must be said that they are no longer needed for the deceased, but for us, so that we remember the deceased person. The anniversary has nothing to do with ordeals, which end on the 40th day. By the way, if the soul is sent to hell, this does not mean that it has finally died. During the Last Judgment, the fate of all people, including the dead, is decided.

Opinion of Muslims, Jews and Buddhists

The Muslim is also convinced that his soul after physical death moves to another world. Here she waits for judgment day. Buddhists believe that she is constantly reborn, changing her body. After death, she again incarnates in a different guise - reincarnation occurs. Judaism, perhaps, speaks least of all about the afterlife. Extraterrestrial existence in the books of Moses is mentioned very rarely. Most Jews believe that both hell and heaven exist on earth. However, they are convinced that life is eternal. It continues after death in children and grandchildren.

According to Hare Krishnas

And only Hare Krishnas, who are also convinced of turning to empirical and logical arguments. Numerous information about clinical deaths experienced by different people come to their aid. Many of them described that they rose above the bodies and soared through an unknown light to the tunnel. also comes to the aid of the Hare Krishnas. One well-known Vedic argument for the soul being immortal is that we, while living in the body, observe its changes. We turn through the years from a child into an old man. However, the very fact that we are able to contemplate these changes indicates that we exist outside the changes of the body, since the observer is always aloof.

What do the doctor's say

According to common sense, we cannot know what happens to a person after death. It is all the more surprising that a number of scientists hold a different opinion. First of all, they are doctors. The medical practice of many of them refutes the axiom that no one managed to return from the next world. Doctors are familiar firsthand with hundreds of "returnees". Yes, and many of you probably at least heard something about clinical death.

The scenario of the exit of the soul from the body after clinical death

Everything usually happens according to one scenario. During the operation, the patient's heart stops. After that, doctors ascertain the onset of clinical death. They begin resuscitation, trying with all their might to start the heart. The count goes to seconds, since the brain and other vital organs begin to suffer from a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) in 5-6 minutes, which is fraught with sad consequences.

Meanwhile, the patient "leaves" the body, observes himself and the actions of the doctors from above for some time, and then floats towards the light along a long corridor. And then, according to the statistics that British scientists have collected over the past 20 years, about 72% of the "dead" end up in paradise. Grace descends on them, they see angels or dead friends and relatives. Everyone laughs and cheers. However, the other 28% describe a far from happy picture. These are those who after "death" find themselves in hell. Therefore, when some divine entity, appearing most often as a clot of light, informs them that their time has not yet come, they are very happy, and then return to the body. Doctors pump out a patient whose heart starts beating again. Those who managed to look beyond the threshold of death remember this all their lives. And many of them share with close relatives and attending physicians the received revelation.

Arguments of skeptics

In the 1970s, research began on so-called near-death experiences. They continue to this day, although many copies have been broken on this score. Someone saw in the phenomenon of these experiences proof of eternal life, while others, on the contrary, even today strive to convince everyone that hell and paradise, and in general the "other world" are somewhere inside us. These are supposedly not real places, but hallucinations that occur when consciousness fades. One can agree with this assumption, but why then are these hallucinations so similar for everyone? And skeptics give their answer to this question. They say the brain is being deprived of oxygenated blood. Very quickly, parts of the visual lobe of the hemispheres are turned off, but the poles of the occipital lobes, which have a dual blood supply system, are still functioning. Because of this, the field of view is significantly narrowed. Only a narrow strip remains, which provides "tube", central vision. This is the desired tunnel. So, at least, says Sergei Levitsky, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

case of dentures

However, those who managed to return from the other world object to him. They describe in detail the actions of a team of doctors who, during a cardiac arrest, "conjured" over the body. Patients also talk about their relatives who grieved in the corridors. For example, one patient, having come to his senses 7 days after clinical death, asked the doctors to give him a denture that was removed during the operation. The doctors could not remember where they had placed it in the confusion. And then the waking up patient accurately named the place where the prosthesis was located, while saying that during the "journey" he remembered it. It turns out that medicine today does not have irrefutable evidence that there is no life after death.

Testimony of Natalia Bekhtereva

There is an opportunity to look at this problem from the other side. First, we can recall the law of conservation of energy. In addition, one can refer to the fact that the energy principle underlies any kind of substance. It also exists in man. Of course, after the death of the body, it does not disappear anywhere. This beginning remains in the energy-informational field of our planet. However, there are also exceptions.

In particular, Natalya Bekhtereva testified that her husband's human brain became a mystery to her. The fact is that the ghost of her husband began to appear to the woman even during the day. He gave her advice, shared his thoughts, suggested where to find something. Note that Bekhterev is a world-famous scientist. However, she did not doubt the reality of what was happening. Natalya says she doesn't know if this vision was a product of her own mind, which was in a state of stress, or something else. But the woman claims that she knows for sure - she did not imagine her husband, she actually saw him.

"The Solaris Effect"

Scientists call the appearance of "ghosts" of loved ones or relatives who have died, the "Solaris effect". Another name is materialization according to the Lemma method. However, this happens extremely rarely. Most likely, the "Solaris effect" is observed only in cases where the mourners have a fairly large energy force in order to "pull" the phantom of a dear person from the field of our planet.

Experience of Vsevolod Zaporozhets

If the forces are not enough, mediums come to the rescue. This is exactly what happened to Vsevolod Zaporozhets, a geophysicist. He was a supporter of scientific materialism long years. However, at the age of 70, after the death of his wife, he changed his mind. The scientist could not come to terms with the loss and began to study the literature on spirits and spiritualism. In total, he performed about 460 sessions, and also created the book "Contours of the Universe", where he described a technique by which one can prove the reality of the existence of life after death. Most importantly, he managed to contact his wife. In the afterlife, she is young and beautiful, like all the others living there. According to Zaporozhets, the explanation for this is simple: the world of the dead is the product of the embodiment of their desires. In this it is similar to the earthly world and even better than it. Usually the souls that dwell in it are represented in a beautiful form and at a young age. They feel material, like the inhabitants of the Earth. Those who inhabit the afterlife are aware of their physicality and can enjoy life. Clothes are created by the desire and thought of the departed. Love in this world remains or is found again. However, the relationship between the sexes is devoid of sexuality, but still different from ordinary friendships. There is no procreation in this world. One does not need to eat to sustain life, but some eat for pleasure or earthly habit. They mainly eat fruits, which grow in abundance and are very beautiful. Such is interesting story. After death, perhaps this is what awaits us. If so, then, apart from your own desires, there is nothing to be afraid of.

We examined the most popular answers to the question: "After death, what awaits us?". Of course, this is to some extent only guesswork that can be taken on faith. After all, science in this matter is still powerless. The methods she uses today are unlikely to help figure out what awaits us after death. Probably, this riddle will torment scientists and many of us for a long time to come. However, we can state that there is much more evidence that life after death is real than the arguments of skeptics.

Love each other only with sincere love and remember that the Soul offended by the Soul is very painful and scary at the same time.

HIGHER SOVIETS AND HIGHER COURTS

The first advice determines when a person should die

The day comes, and the Guardian Angel, tirelessly watching us day and night, having completed his task, having gained strength, can finally return home - to God. But when we return and with what we stand before the eyes of the Lord, it depends only on you and me and no one else.

Returning to Heaven, our Angel takes with him a complete dossier on a person, with our good and bad deeds and aspirations, the most secret and innermost thoughts and desires.

Immediately after his arrival, a so-called council meets in Heaven, at which a decision is made when and under what circumstances a person should be taken away.

This death is unexpected for us, in fact, everything is predetermined, for some people even many years in advance. Someone went their way with honor, someone, on the contrary, closed the program ahead of schedule.

The timing of our life depends not only on ourselves, but also on those who meet on our way.

We live according to a scenario planned from Above, and if someone has gone too far aside, lost his way, then they try to help him, but if necessary, they will remove him so that he does not harm himself and does not interfere with others.

Years of life can be extended

If our program is completed to the end, but we are still needed here on Earth, if we are valued and needed, then our program can be revised and the time spent on the planet can be increased.

Then we are again given an Angel who wished to protect and support us on our difficult path.

The fate of a person is changeable, and how it develops depends on our actions and thoughts, because it is not for nothing that there is an expression: “Man is the blacksmith of his own happiness”, which came to us from antiquity.

Many of us have found ourselves in situations where we were on the verge of death or when life seemed further empty and unbearable, but time passed, and everything fell into place.

In such cases, it is worth stopping and thinking, understanding what it was - a warning from above or another test, and draw appropriate conclusions from this.

A person goes to Heaven at the request of relatives

At the council, a determination is made - whether a person will leave life, or he will still be left on Earth.

If a decision is made that it is time to take a person to Heaven, then the Angel is shown where his ward will be determined and which of the living he will be able to take with him to the afterlife in the future.

Sometimes the Angel is allowed to show a person all this before death, but this is extremely rare. In any case, if a person died, it means one thing - it means that someone there, in Heaven, took care of it.

It looks like this: first, your closest relative - or father, or mother, or grandmother, or grandfather - who died before you, petitions the higher Angels: “I ask you to allow my son, daughter, grandson, etc. leave the Earth and move to us here in Heaven."

And if the time has come, the first Supreme Council convenes. It is attended by all the relatives and friends of the candidate for the transition to another world. The council is headed by one of the Heavenly Angels.

First of all, the Guardian Angel of the one who must leave is called for advice, and in his presence the consideration of the case begins.

Before the whole council, the whole life of a person is analyzed in detail, his good and evil deeds and thoughts are weighed, and everything that he has already managed to do is evaluated.

Then the verdict is passed. A person is given permission with honor or shame to leave the Earth and go to the Heavenly world. Or they give you the opportunity to stay on Earth and fix something in your life.

Then God himself confirms this judgment. Or gives Good, or says: "It's not time yet." God's decision is final.

It will be much easier for your deceased loved ones to ask the Angels to help you in a difficult situation if you yourself, in turn, turn to Heaven with a similar request.

All the desires of a person in Heaven are taken into account, everyone is sent what he most wants. Your dead relatives fuss for you before the Angels, they, in turn, convey your request to the Archangels, and only they have the right to ask for you before God.

That is why it was previously forbidden to pronounce both the name of God and the name of the devil once again. In the first case, they were afraid to anger the owner of the name, in the second - to invite trouble.

All circumstances of a person's death are discussed in advance in Heaven

If a decision is made to move to another world, then the question is immediately discussed: where and how should a person die? The most optimal and well-deserved option is chosen - someone will be killed, someone will die of illness, someone will have an accident, etc.

The man himself, living on Earth, does not remember the details of this Supreme Court. His Angel was present at the meeting, but nothing remained in his memory. His subconscious already has a program of imminent death.

It often happens that a still living person begins to inexorably pull into the place of his future death. He can't wait to get out of this world. And when in the end what should happen happens, all friends and relatives begin to lament in chorus:

“Well, why did he go to these mountains, because he was warned that it was dangerous there. That in the end he will break his neck there ...

... He was also told that the weather was non-flying. Why did he fly in a helicopter on that particular day, couldn’t he wait it out…

... Why did he get behind the wheel of this car, why did he drive so fast, they told him that it would not end well ...

…Why did he go to this city? He was pulled there like a magnet. It was in this city that he was killed ...

... Why did he buy this gun? He loved this gun so much, he carried it around like crazy. It was from this gun that they shot him ... "

That's why I bought it, that's why I went, that's why I got behind the wheel, because - it's time, it's time, it's necessary.

Very often, before death, a person commits acts that are inexplicable by human logic. It seems that he himself unconsciously seeks death. It really is.

After the decision on death has been made in Heaven, a person no longer belongs to himself, as it were. He only obeys the will of Heaven. And in the end, each person dies at a precisely specified time, in a precisely specified place, in full accordance with the scenario of death that was drawn up in Heaven.

There is nothing accidental - neither death itself, nor its circumstances. Everything is thought out, everything is calculated from Above.

There are no accidental deaths

If a person died, left this world for that world, then we, who remained on Earth, should treat this with understanding and humility. So, the Almighty decided so. God gave life, God took life.

You can’t talk on the topic “But if only ...”, “But suddenly ...”, rant: “If doctors had arrived at Vladimir Vysotsky in time, he would have remained alive; if Dantes had missed with a pistol, then Pushkin would not have died; if Viktor Tsoi had not fallen asleep at the wheel, then he would not have crashed his car into an oncoming car.

No ifs, no maybes. The time has come, and the human soul passed into another world at the appointed hour. To protest against this is to go against the will of God.

A truly believing person should not be afraid of death, because he knows that there is life in the afterlife. The soul is immortal, so there should be no fear when going there.

But there is no need to rush into that world either. It is a sin. Everyone will die at the appointed hour, and this hour should not be brought closer, nor be afraid of the inevitable.

Lyubov Ivanovna Panova says: “About three years have passed since I started talking with spirits. I came on vacation from the North.

My distant relative, Aunt Marusya, had a tumor removed from her chest, the operation was delayed, and the doctors did not give any guarantee. Many relatives and acquaintances, not hiding their feelings, came to the hospital to say goodbye to her.

We went with my mom. I loved this woman very much, she had no children of her own until the age of forty-five, and in her childhood she was very kind to me.

I asked the Angels and they told me that her time had not yet come. They didn’t tell me exactly when she would leave this world, but they promised that my aunt would definitely get better and return home.

In the hospital, I said: “Aunt Marusya, you know, I can talk with my dead grandmother, she told me that you will get better.” But when she asked how I do it, I could not explain anything intelligibly.

And then she told me: “You know, when your grandmother and I were younger, even before her death, we agreed that the one of us who dies first should somehow come to the rest and tell whether that world or priests exists. it was just invented.

And before I went to the hospital, I had a dream - your grandmother and three other women, they also died, I ran after them and shouted: “Dunya, do you remember, we agreed with you?”

Grandmother stopped, looked at me sternly and said: “Everything is here, only you and I are not allowed to talk! And you don’t follow me, it’s not time for you yet. ”

Aunt Marusya really recovered and lived for another five years, and her story helped me understand a lot.”

clinical death

A person who saw that light, but then returned to Earth again, can no longer continue to live the way he lived before.

After clinical death, people become more merciful, kinder, and their faith in God and the existence of the afterlife becomes strong and firm.

If they see that others are distrustful of their stories about the afterlife, then they close in on themselves and try not to discuss this topic anymore.

Many people who have experienced clinical death open their creative abilities - they begin to write poetry, draw pictures, compose music.

And most importantly, they all absolutely cease to be afraid of death.

spirit world

After death, the souls of the dead enter the world of spirits - this is a place in Heaven, located in front of the gates to the Kingdom of Heaven.

All the dead on Earth initially fall into this place. On average, about one hundred and fifty thousand people die every day on our planet. All these souls accumulate in a huge picturesque valley, framed on the sides by high mountains. In this valley, the sun constantly shines, many times brighter than our earthly luminary.

At first, not all who have fallen into the world of spirits understand what is happening to them. They, dumbfounded, stand still and twist their heads around in bewilderment, trying to understand what is happening around. They suddenly find themselves standing in a long line of ten to fifteen kilometers, which is slowly moving in an unknown direction.

Some even think that they are still alive and are on Earth. Because all the people around them look exactly the same as at the time of death - children, old people, adults, men and women. All are dressed in the clothes in which they died.

All new arrivals - Europeans, Indians, Japanese, and Arabs - understand each other perfectly, because there is no longer a language barrier between them. Everyone understands each other's thoughts, and no one needs to open their mouths to communicate.

Gradually, all the spirits that have fallen into the world begin to realize that they are in the afterlife. Some are even frightened by this discovery, one can read a bewildered question on their faces: “How, is it really true, is it really so? This is what happens, in fact, both Heaven and Hell exist? And what will happen to us next?

People are beginning to convulsively recall everything that they have heard on Earth about Heaven and Hell, to exchange opinions and impressions with each other. Those dead who imagined the afterlife in the right way in advance feel much more confident and calm. They begin to reassure their neighbors, explain to them where they got to and why, and what will happen to them next.

Each newcomer is approached by his relatives who died earlier. Relatives cannot get close to a person, so from afar they mentally begin to explain to the guest what Paradise and Purgatory are, where he got to and what will happen to him next.

Even if a person on Earth has sinned a lot and all his Guardian Angels have turned away from him, all the same, one remains with him - the same Angel that is given by God to each of us at birth. This Angel guards us inseparably from the first minute of our life to the last breath.

From the world of spirits one can get into the Kingdom of Heaven, which, in turn, is divided into Purgatory and Paradise.

Both in Purgatory and Paradise, all the dead pass through the same gate. There is no separate entrance to Paradise and a separate entrance to Purgatory.

First three days after death

After death, the soul of a person stays near his body for three days, regardless of where this body is located. If a person loved his body, then he will not leave his body.

If he was not strongly attached to his body, then in these three days he will say goodbye to all his close and distant relatives, visit their homes, come to them in a dream. Someone will hear a strange knock, someone's heart will tremble, if a person is somewhere far away, someone will invisibly push him.

Who meets the deceased

On the third day, the soul, wherever it is, begins a journey to the gates of the kingdom of heaven. Even if the body is not found, if the person is missing, then regardless of this, on the third day (no wonder Christians have this lucky number), the soul goes through the intervals of its memory - past and present.

And in front of the deceased, people stand in two lines - on the left side the dead, on the right - the living. Those people to whom the deceased has done Good stand with kind faces, those to whom he has done Evil, with gloomy faces.

Sometimes one and the same person can stand with a “double” face, if Good was done to him and Evil was done right there. He will first stand with a gloomy face, and then with a cheerful one.

First, the deceased will understand by their faces who he offended. And then he will be shown these moments, whom and how exactly he offended.

And you will have to approach everyone, forgive your offenders and receive forgiveness from those who suffered from you.

If everyone and everything forgive each other, then your soul, having been cleansed, throwing off the burden of sins, will ascend to the highest floors of the Kingdom of Heaven.

If someone does not want to forgive you, then you will be forced to sit on the lower floors of the Kingdom of Heaven and wait until those who once suffered from you on Earth die. You will wait for this moment and suffer because of your mistakes.

In the same way, those who once offended us in earthly life are waiting for us in Heaven. They can't wait for us to join them, forgive them, and thereby allow them to rise above.

About dead or good or nothing

If you do not want your deceased friend, relative or acquaintance to suffer there in Heaven, forgive him all his sins. From a pure heart, forgive everything, let go of his soul. He will be so grateful to you for it!

Say: “Lord, I forgive him everything!”

But this must be said sincerely. How sincerely you forgive him, how much you will help him there. If you forgave him absolutely everything, then it will be credited to him in full. To forgive means to forget the offense and never return to it, no matter in conversation or mentally.

And if you say: “I forgive you,” and then you yourself continue to be angry with him in your soul, then he will be tormented upstairs.

You can’t keep anything in yourself, you shouldn’t have a drop of regret in your soul. No wonder it is said: "About the dead, or good, or nothing."

Now you understand what Jesus meant when he said, "If you are struck on your left cheek, turn your right."

If you have been offended, forgive this sinner, and this will certainly be credited to you.

If you forgive your offenders, then all the negativity sent by them to you will come back to them. And you will be cleansed of all negativity, of all troubles.

From the third to the ninth day

At this time, a person is shown all the levels of Paradise and Purgatory.

If he is shown Paradise, then he experiences an extraordinary feeling of flight and joy.

If he is shown Purgatory, then he experiences a feeling of bitterness. Let's explain with an example. The child grows up in a family of alcoholics, where constant drinking occurs and the boy is beaten daily.

And suddenly this child is taken to her by a sweet, kind woman who tells him fairy tales, kisses him at night, strokes him. He begins to live as in Paradise, and sees beauty, cleanliness, carpets, toys around him. And most importantly, they love him. The child sees this love, he is imbued with reciprocal love for this woman, he idolizes her, he hugs her.

And suddenly he is unexpectedly returned back to where he came from, back to a family of alcoholics and sadists.

What the child experiences at this moment is similar to the feelings that a person experiences when he sees Purgatory.

Second Supreme Council - from the ninth day to the fortieth

From the ninth day to the fortieth, the deceased person is shown in detail his whole life. One day they show the good that he managed to do, the next - all the bad, then again the good, then the bad. Along the way, an assessment is given to all his thoughts and actions, it is explained how much Good and Evil he gave and caused to people and how this affected their destinies.

It is during this period that a person begins to understand with surprise that he actually did not live on his own, not alone, but was connected with the people around him with thin inseparable threads.

He begins to understand that not a single person got in his way by chance, just like that, they were all sent to him from Above. God, creating certain situations in a person’s life, arranged exams for him and then looked at whether the person under test had overcome this obstacle or not, whether he had come out of a difficult situation with dignity or failed in disgrace.

The sensations that a person experiences at this moment are similar to if you suddenly found out one fine day that your whole life is being secretly filmed. hidden cam and you actually find yourself a participant in the TV show "Behind the Glass" without even knowing it. And all your neighbors, casual acquaintances, friends, relatives - they are all pre-prepared participants in this show. And the whole world is watching your adventures with interest, issuing comments after watching the next series: “Well done, how beautifully he did, a real hero!” - or: "Oh, what a scoundrel!"

You will be shown in detail who and how you have offended throughout your life, whom and how you have made happy, to whom your life has been broken, and whom, on the contrary, you have saved.

For all your actions and thoughts, you will be awarded, as it were, prize and penalty points. For example, he loved his mother and helped her, let's give him so many points for this. And here he was cruel to his girlfriend, minus so many points.

And this is how they add up - all his accumulations are taken away throughout his life. And in the end, on the fortieth day, a person pronounces a sentence on himself and goes to where he deserves to serve his allotted time.

The Third High Court is the court of your conscience

The Third Supreme Council is the most important and most difficult, when a person who has come home after a magnificent reception is shown why he left Heaven for Earth and what kind of life program he had planned.

They explain to him where, when and at what moment he went astray, why he did not do what he should have done, who prevented him from doing this.

At the same time, a person is shown how others treated him, who was his true friend, and who lied to him and hypocrite, who and what said about him in his absence.

Believe me, finding out the real truth about your life is unbearably painful, especially if you believed people, loved them, were ready to do anything for their good, even to undeservedly offend or insult someone, and then it turned out that to you were treated differently than you thought.

You will scream, repent, but what can you do there if you could not do anything here? ..

And, having realized how you lived on Earth, you will judge yourself. And voluntarily determine for yourself in what place you should be in Heaven, in what area of ​​that level of Paradise or Purgatory, which you yourself determined by your life on Earth.

God does not punish anyone, He loves everyone equally. A person chooses his own punishment when he comes to the other world and learns there the truth about God, the Universe, and the role of man in this world.

After reviewing his whole life, a person begins to execute himself after that. This is the worst judgment ever. judgment of your conscience.

In the Heavenly world, your conscience cannot be drowned out by various abstract reasoning, as we often do here on Earth. There, in Heaven, everyone's mind becomes so purified and enlightened that nothing can obscure it.

Remorse of conscience can be so strong that a Person does not need to be scolded and educated - he himself will do this with himself better than any judges and prosecutors.

By the way, when you communicate with the souls of dead people, you are always surprised at how easily and willingly they begin to talk about their mistakes and shortcomings.

If we, who live on Earth, on the contrary, try not to disturb our pride once again, then they behave more openly and truthfully. They already know that there is nothing secret, sooner or later everything becomes clear, so there is no point in dissembling and prevaricating, with the soul.

There are no lies and deceit in the Heavenly world, because such things are simply impossible there. All people's thoughts are readable, so you can't say one thing and think another, as we often do on Earth.

Every person living on Earth is protected by his deceased relatives who are in Heaven. They, now knowing everything about that world, are trying to help us properly prepare for the transition to the Heavenly World, naturally, if they are allowed to do this from Above. Nevertheless, our loved ones closely monitor our lives and tirelessly day and night ask for us.

Where are Paradise and Purgatory

Heaven and Purgatory are in the Heavens above us.

The first - the lowest - level of Purgatory begins at a height of 1 km from the surface of the Earth. The height of this level is approximately 1.5-1.8 km.

Then follows 200-500 m of emptiness. By the way, between all the floors and Purgatory and Paradise there are layers of emptiness of several hundred meters. Given these voids, the following scale is built:

2nd level of Purgatory - from 3 km from the Earth's surface to 6 km;

3rd level - from 6 to 9 km;

4th level - from 9 to 11 km;

5th level - from 11 to 12 km;

6th level - from 12 to 13 km;

7th level - from 13 to 14 km;

From 14 to 20 km there is a void separating Purgatory and Paradise.

The first level of Paradise begins at 20 km from the surface of the Earth and ends at 21 km;

2nd level - from 21 to 23 km;

3rd level - from 23 to 25 km; 4th level - from 25 to 27 km;

5th level - from 27 to 29 km;

b-th level - from 29 to 31 km;

7th level - from 31 to 38 km.

Apostle Peter is responsible for the seventh level of Paradise BUT Archangel Gabriel.

The sixth level - app. Pavel and Arch. Michael.

Fifth - app. Andrew the First-Called and arch. Zadkiel.

Fourth - app. Jacob Zavedeev and arch. Uriel.

The third one is app. Jacob Alfeev and arch. Raphael.

The second one is app. John the Theologian and arch. Chamuel.

The first one is app. Foma and arch. Jophiel.

Each layer of Paradise and Purgatory evenly surrounds the Earth at its height.

Paradise and Purgatory are invisible human eye. Therefore, planes calmly cross the various levels of Purgatory without noticing or feeling anything.

Of the total number of dead, about 15 percent of the souls go to Paradise, 75 percent - to Purgatory, and the remaining 10 percent remain at the gates to the Kingdom of Heaven, awaiting their fate. This is the worst punishment when you are not even allowed into Purgatory.

This fate awaits those who have violated all God's laws too much - suicides, accomplices of the devil, misanthropes.

Moving souls in the underworld

After death, the soul goes to Heaven. After the Supreme Court, a person is placed on one of the levels of Purgatory or Paradise. Gradually purifying, the soul slowly rises up from floor to floor, from Purgatory to Paradise, until it reaches the highest, seventh level of Paradise.

Only from this level can the soul return to Earth again. Only pure and bright souls God sends down to fight the devil.

But the devil does not sleep. He meets pure souls sent from Above by God, and immediately begins to re-educate them in his own way.

And here each person has to pass the test - whether he will resist the spell of the devil or not, whether he will fulfill his destiny or break.

There is an eternal struggle between God and the devil, and the battlefield is our human souls.

But no matter how the devil enslaves the human soul, in the end, after death, it again returns to God in Heaven. Good still triumphs over Evil.

Differences Between Angels

An angel can be strong or weak depending on his past lives.

If the soul is in Purgatory, then it can escape from there only at the request of a person. If your Guardian Angel lives in Purgatory, then you can greatly help him by calling him for help.

To do this, you need to know by name all your Guardian Angels and, turning to them for help, talk to them like living people, report to them for everything that you did during the day, ask them for help tomorrow.

When a person believes in his Guardian Angels, he greatly facilitates their life in Heaven.

If the Guardian Angel gave you any advice, then be sure to try to follow it. You will benefit yourself and help your Heavenly patron,

The number of Guardian Angels for each person is determined in Heaven, at the High Council. This is the same council that decides when you should die and leave Earth.

Your relatives, Guardian Angels, the supreme heavenly Angels watch over you from above and make a decision - for some actions they send you protection from Above, additional Guardian Angels, for some sins they deprive Guardian Angels, according to the results of life, they determine the date of death and a well-deserved place in Heaven.

All decisions of the Supreme Council come into force after they are approved by God himself.

We are being watched from above all the time! Know about it and do not sin again!

Good people have more Guardian Angels

For example, Alla Pugacheva has 13 Guardian Angels, because she is inherently a very kind person - she is always trying to help someone, bring this or that person to the big stage, make him a career in show business. These noble Impulses of the soul are highly valued by our Heavenly patrons. In addition, she is a believer and sincerely believes in Angels.

Unfortunately, much more often one has to see a completely different picture - a person who has achieved success, entrenched on Olympus, is jealous of the successes of beginners and does not want to help those who have just come to the foot of the Mount of Glory.

Alla Borisovna loves people. And no matter how obstinate her character is, no matter how much she causes problems to others, all the same her whole life is devoted to people whom she wants to bring joy with all her might.

She gives people her love. People, listening to her songs, are charged with positive energy from them, become kinder and cleaner. They get rid of irritability and nervousness, they begin to love and feel sorry for everyone.

Alla Pugacheva is protected by so many Guardian Angels because she makes people happy.

Gateway to the Kingdom of Heaven

Saint Peter and Paul do not stand at the gates of the heavenly kingdom with the keys in their hands. This image was invented by the priests in order to show ordinary people that the gates to Heaven are not open to everyone, they can be locked.

There are no locks on these gates, no ingenious locks and bolts. These gates are always open, but only those who have earned this right can pass through them. You can stand in front of the open doors for a hundred or two hundred years and not be able to step over the forbidden line.

The queue in front of the gate is truly gigantic - hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting for their fate for centuries, because even the right to enter Purgatory must be earned. Many souls from such a long wait are in despondency and confusion, they are exhausted from impotence and fatigue.

Everyone has their own waiting period - someone crosses the cherished threshold in a few years, someone suffers in front of the gates for millennia, looking with envy at the new arrivals, who, without a moment's delay, easily and freely pass into the Kingdom of Heaven.

For a very long time they stand in front of the suicide gates. Those who themselves begged death from God, or those whose death was begged for by their own parents.

Sometimes it happens like this - a mother, not wanting to accept her daughter-in-law, says: "It's easier for me to bury my son than to give him to this slut."

Time passes, and the mother already forgets that she once cursed her daughter-in-law, and reconciles herself with her, gets used to the new member of her family. The grandchildren have already appeared in the house. And suddenly that old wish comes true - for no reason, the beloved son suddenly dies.

The thought materialized in such a terrible way.

cleansing

The soul is in Purgatory until all earthly vices are erased from its memory - anger, harshness, envy, hatred. Purified, these souls lose the ability to be angry, nervous, irritated and move to the levels of Paradise.

And vice versa, souls in Purgatory can behave like ordinary earthly people - swear, swear, be offended.

As the soul is purified, it moves higher and higher, from one level to another. When the soul is completely cleansed and reaches the seventh level of Paradise, the first desire that arises in it is to return to Earth and kill the devil, destroy this Hell in which we are all now.

But coming to Earth, this person again meets with the devil's accomplices, illiterate parents and teachers, who begin to educate God's creation in their own way. And again everything continues in a circle - God turns into the devil. Our task is to stop this vicious circle.

Whysome souls return to Earth after 10 years, and others after 500

It depends on what level of Paradise or Purgatory you are. The closer to the seventh level of Paradise, the faster you have the opportunity to return to Earth.

If dying Small child, then he automatically enters the highest floors of Paradise. After all, he has not yet had time to sin, he has not had time to do dirty deeds, and his soul is pure, like a baby's tear.

A dying child does not yet know anything about death, so he is not afraid of it like an adult. The baby does not blame anyone for his death - neither doctors, nor God, nor fate, nor parents.

He does not know that his early death is due to the fact that, for example, his father's mother was categorically against the birth of this child.

If he knew this, if before his death he blamed his grandmother, then all the sins of his grandmother would have passed on to his childish soul.

If you accuse someone of something, then all the sins of this person are automatically transferred to you. Know how to forgive everyone - both the living and the dead, both the guilty and the innocent. Only then will you be happy.

How many lives does a person live.

The best option is nine lives. Although there are people who manage to purify themselves in fewer lives. And there are those who do not have time even for nine and are forced to return to Earth again and again.

The Miracle of the Resurrection of Claudia Ustyuzhanina
(FORMER IN BARNAUL IN 1964)

(Written down from the words of Claudia Ustyuzhanina herself)

I was an atheist, strongly, terribly blasphemed God and persecuted the Holy Church, led a sinful life and was completely dead in spirit, darkened by devilish charm. But the mercy of the Lord did not allow His creation to perish, and the Lord called me to repentance. I got cancer and was sick for three years. I did not lie down, but worked, and was treated by earthly doctors, I had the hope of being cured, but there was no benefit, and every day I got worse. For the last six months, I have been completely ill, I could not even drink water - I started vomiting violently, and I was admitted to the hospital. I was a very active communist, and a professor was called for me from Moscow, and they decided to have an operation.

In 1964, on February 19 at 11 o'clock in the afternoon, I was operated on, a malignant tumor with decomposed intestines was discovered. I died during the operation. When they cut open my stomach, I stood between two doctors and looked with horror at my illness. The entire stomach was in cancerous nodes, as well as small intestines. I looked and thought: why are there two of us: I stand and I lie? Then the doctors put my insides on the table and said: - where the duodenum should be, there was only liquid, that is, it was completely rotten, and they pumped out one and a half liters of rot, - the doctors said: she already has nothing to live on, she has nothing healthy, everything rotted from cancer.

I kept looking and thinking: why are there two of us: I am lying and I am standing? Then the doctors put my insides in randomly and put brackets on my stomach. This operation was performed on me by a professor, a Jew, Israel Isaevich Neimark, in the presence of ten doctors. When the brackets were put on, the doctors said: it should be given to young doctors for practice. And then my body was taken to the dead room, and I followed him and kept wondering: why are there two of us? They took me to the dead room, and I lay naked, then they covered me with a sheet up to my chest. Here, in the dead room, my brother came with my boy Andryusha. My son ran up to me and kissed me on the forehead, wept bitterly, saying: Mommy, why did you die, I'm still small; How will I live without you, I don't have a dad. I hugged and kissed him, but he did not pay any attention to me. My brother was crying.

And then I found myself at home. The mother-in-law of my first husband, the legitimate one, came there; and there was mine Native sister. I did not live with my first husband, because he believed in God. And so, in my house, the division of my things began. My sister began to choose the best things, and my mother-in-law asked me to leave something for the boy. But my sister did not give anything, she began to scold my mother-in-law in every possible way. When my sister cursed, here I saw demons, they wrote down every swear word in their charters and rejoiced. And then the sister and mother-in-law closed the house and left. The sister carried a huge bundle to her home. And I, sinful Claudia, flew up at four o'clock. And I was very surprised how I was flying over Barnaul. And then he disappeared and it became dark. The darkness continued for a long time. On the way, they showed me the places where I was and when, from my youth. On what I flew, I don’t know, in the air or on a cloud, I can’t explain. When I flew, the day was cloudy, then it became very light, so that it was even impossible to look.

They put me on a black platform; although in flight I was in a supine position; I don’t know what it was lying on - like plywood, but soft and black. There, instead of a street, there was an alley, along which there were bushes, low and unfamiliar to me, twigs very thin, leaves pointed at both ends. Huge trees could be seen further, they had very beautiful “leaves of different colors. Between the trees there were low houses, but I didn’t see anyone in them. And in this valley it was very beautiful grass. I think: where am I, where did I arrive, in the village or in the city? There are no factories, no factories, and no people to be seen. Who lives here? I look, not far from me is a woman, very beautiful and tall, her clothes are long, and on top is a brocade cape. A young man followed Her, cried a lot, and asked something from Her, but She did not pay any attention to him. I think: what kind of mother is this? - he cries, and she does not pay attention to his requests. When She approached me, the young man fell at Her feet and again asked Her for something, but I did not understand anything.

I wanted to ask: where am I? But suddenly She came up to me and said: Lord, where is she? She stood with her arms folded across her chest and her eyes raised. Then I shuddered greatly, realizing that I had died, and the soul was in heaven, and the body was on earth; and I immediately realized that I had many sins and I would have to answer for them. I began to cry bitterly. I turned my head to see the Lord, but I see no one, but I hear the voice of the Lord. He said: bring her back to earth, she did not come at the right time, the virtue of her father and his unceasing prayers propitiated Me. And then I just realized that this woman is the Queen of Heaven, and the young man who followed Her and wept, pleading with Her, is my guardian angel. The Lord continued to say: I was tired of her blasphemy and stinking life, I wanted to wipe her off the face of the earth without repentance, but her father begged Me. The Lord said: she needs to be shown the place she deserves, and in an instant I found myself in hell. Terrible fiery snakes climbed on me, their tongues are long, and fire flies out of their tongues; and there were all sorts of other bastards. The stench is unbearable there, and these snakes dug into me, and crawled over me, thick as a finger, and a quarter long, and with tails, spiked needles on their tails, crawled into my ears, into my eyes, into my mouth, into my nostrils, into all the passages , the pain is unbearable. I began to scream in a voice that was not my own, but there was no mercy and help from anyone there. Immediately, a woman who had died from an abortion appeared, crying, she began to ask the Lord for forgiveness, mercy. The Lord answered her: How did you live on earth? She did not recognize me and did not call me, but she destroyed the children in her womb and advised people: "There is no need to breed poverty"; you have extra children, but I don’t have extra ones, and I give you everything, I have enough for My creation. Then the Lord said to me: I gave you a disease so that you would repent, and you blasphemed Me to the end.

Then the earth spun along with me, and I flew out of there, a stench began, and the earth leveled out, there was a rumble, and then I saw my church, which I scolded. When the door opened and the priest came out in all white, shining rays came from the clothes. He stood with bowed head. Then the Lord asked me: who is this? I answered: this is our priest. And the voice answered me: and you said that he was a parasite; no, he is not a parasite, but a hard worker, he is a true shepherd, not a hireling. So know, no matter how small he may be, but he serves Me, the Lord, and if the priest does not read a permissive prayer over you, then I will not forgive you either. Then I began to ask the Lord: Lord, let me go to earth, I have a boy there. The Lord said to me: I know that you have a boy. And do you feel sorry for him? I say very sorry. - You feel sorry for one, but I have no number of you, and I feel sorry for all of you three times. But what an unrighteous path you have chosen for yourself! Why do you strive to amass great wealth for yourself, why do you do all sorts of lies? Do you see how your property is now being plundered? To whom did your belongings go? Your property was stolen, your child was given to Orphanage and your dirty soul came here. She served the demon and made sacrifices to him: she went to the cinema, the theater. You don't go to God's church... I'm waiting for you to wake up from the sleep of sin and repent. Then the Lord said: save your own souls; pray, for a meager age remains, soon, soon I will come to judge the world, pray. -

I asked the Lord: how should I pray? I don't know prayer. - Pray, - the Lord answered, - not that prayer is dear, which is read and memorized, but that prayer is dear, which you say from a pure heart, from the depths of your soul. Say: Lord, forgive me; Lord, help me, and sincerely, with tears in your eyes - this is what kind of prayer and petition will be pleasing and pleasing to Me, - thus said the Lord.

Then the Mother of God appeared, and I found myself on the same platform, but I did not lie, but stood. Then the Queen of Heaven says: Lord, why let her go? she has short hair. And I hear the voice of the Lord: give her a scythe in right hand the color of her hair. When the Queen of Heaven went for the scythe, I see: She came to the big gates or doors, whose structure and bindings were in an oblique line, like the gates of an altar, but of indescribable beauty; from them came a light so that it was impossible to see. When the Queen of Heaven approached them, they opened themselves before Her, She went inside some kind of palace or garden, and I remained in my place, and my Angel remained near me, but he did not show his face to me. I had a desire to ask the Lord to show me paradise. I say: Lord, they say there is a paradise here? The Lord did not give me an answer.

When the Queen of Heaven came, the Lord said to Her: get up and show her paradise.

The Queen of Heaven passed her hand over me and said to me: you have paradise on earth; and here for sinners, this is what a paradise is, - and I lifted it up like a veil or a curtain, and on the left side I saw: there are black burnt people, like skeletons, a myriad of them and a stinking smell emanates from them. When I remember now, I feel that unbearable stench and I'm afraid not to get there again. They all moan, their larynxes are dried up, they ask to drink, drink, at least a drop of someone gave them water. I was scared, as they said: this soul came from the earthly paradise, from her fragrant smell. A person on earth has been given the right and time so that he can acquire a heavenly paradise, and if he does not work on earth for the sake of the Lord to save his soul, then he will not escape the fate of this place.

The Queen of Heaven pointed to these evil-smelling black people and said: alms are dear to you in your earthly paradise, even this water. Give alms, as much as you can, from a pure heart, as the Lord Himself said in the Gospel: even if the cup cold water who gives in my name, he will receive a reward from the Lord. And you not only have a lot of water, but everything else is in abundance, and therefore you should try to give alms to those in need. And especially, that water, with which an uncountable number of people can be satisfied with one drop. You have whole rivers and seas of this grace, never exhausted.

And suddenly, in an instant, I found myself in tartare - it is even worse here than in the first place that I saw. In the beginning, there was darkness and fire, demons with charters ran up to me and showed me all my bad deeds, and said: here we are, whom you served on earth; and I read my own cases. The demons fire out of their mouths, they began to beat me on the head, and fiery sparks dug into me. I began to scream from unbearable pain, but, alas, I heard only weak moans. They asked for drink, drink; and when the fire illuminated them, I saw: they are terribly thin, their necks are stretched out, their eyes are bulging, and they say to me: here you have come to us, my friend, you will now live with us. Both you and we lived on earth and did not love anyone, neither the servants of God, nor the poor, but were only proud, they blasphemed God, listened to the apostates, and reviled Orthodox pastors, and never repented. And those who are sinners, just like us, but sincerely repented, went to the temple of God, received strangers, gave to the poor, helped everyone in need, did good deeds, they are up there.

I trembled from the horror I saw, and they continued: you will live with us and suffer forever, just like we do.

Then the Mother of God appeared and it became light, the demons all fell on their faces, and the souls all turned to Her: - Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, do not leave us here. Some say: we have suffered so much here; others: we have suffered so much, there is not a drop of water, and the heat is unbearable; and shed bitter tears.

And the Mother of God wept a lot and said to them: they lived on earth, then they didn’t call me and didn’t ask for help, and they didn’t repent to My Son and your God, and now I can’t help you, I can’t transgress the will of My Son, and He cannot transgress the will of His Heavenly Father, and therefore I cannot help you, and there is no intercessor for you. I will have mercy only on those suffering in hell for whom the church and close relatives pray.

When I was in hell, they gave me all kinds of worms to eat: live and dead, smelly, - and I screamed and said: how am I going to eat them ?! And they answered me: I didn’t observe fasts when I lived on earth, did you eat meat? You did not eat meat, but worms, eat worms here too. Here, instead of milk, they gave all kinds of reptiles, reptiles, toads, all kinds.

Then we began to rise, and those who remained in hell shouted loudly: do not leave us, Mother of God.

Then darkness fell again, and I found myself on the same platform. The Queen of Heaven also folded her arms on her chest and raised her eyes to the sky, asked: what should I do with her and where to put her? The Lord said: bring her down to the ground by her hair.

And then, wheelbarrows appeared from somewhere, 12 pieces, without wheels, but moving. The Queen of Heaven tells me: stand with your right foot and go forward, put your left foot next to it. She herself walked next to me, and when they approached the last wheelbarrow, it turned out to be without a bottom, there was an abyss that had no end.

The Queen of Heaven says: lower your right leg, and then your left. I say: I'm afraid I'll fall. And She replies: we need you to fall. - So I'll kill myself! - No, you won't be killed, - She answered, gave me a scythe in my right hand with a thick end, and took Herself with a thin end. The braid was woven in three rows. Then She shook her scythe and I flew to the ground.

And I see how cars run along the ground and people go to work. I see that I am flying to the new market square, but I do not land, but quietly fly to the glacier where my body lies, and I instantly stopped on the ground - it was at 1 hour 30 minutes in the afternoon.

After that world, I did not like it on earth. I went to the hospital. I went to the morgue, went into it, I looked: my body was lying dead, my head hung a little and my arm, and the other arm and side were pressed by the dead man. And how I entered the body, I don’t know, I just felt an icy cold.

Somehow she released her pressed side, and, strongly bending her knees, bent to her elbows. At this time, a man was brought on a stretcher, dead with his legs cut off, by train. I opened my eyes and moved. They saw me bend over, and fled in fright, leaving that dead man behind. Then the orderlies and two doctors came, they ordered me to be carried to the hospital as soon as possible. And the doctors gathered there and said: she needs to warm her brain with light bulbs. It was February 23 at four o'clock in the afternoon. There were 8 stitches on my body, three on my chest, and the rest on my arms and legs, as they practiced on me.

When they warmed my head and all of me, I opened my eyes and spoke after two hours. My corpse was half-frozen, gradually moving away, as well as the brain. At first they fed me artificially, and on the twentieth day they brought me breakfast: pancakes with sour cream and coffee. I immediately stopped eating.

My sister, frightened, ran away from me and everyone in the ward turned their attention to me. Immediately the doctor came and began to ask why I did not want to eat. I answered him: today is Friday, and I will not eat fast food.

And she also said to the doctor: it’s better to sit down, I’ll tell you everything, where I was and what I saw. He sat down and everyone listened. Whoever does not observe fasts and does not honor Wednesday and Friday, then instead of milk they give all kinds of toads and reptiles. This awaits all sinners who have not repented before the priest in hell, so I will not eat fast food these days.

The doctor at my story blushed, then turned pale, and the patients listened attentively.

Then many doctors and other people gathered, and I talked to them. She said everything she saw and heard, and that nothing hurts me. After that, a lot of people came to me and I showed them my wounds and told them about everything.

Then the police began to drive people away from me, and I was transferred to city ​​hospital. This is where I got better. I asked the doctors to heal my wounds faster. All the doctors who saw me were wondering how I could come to life when all my intestines were half-rotten and all the insides were stricken with cancer, and all the more so since everything was abandoned after the operation at random and hastily sewn up.

They decided to perform the operation on me again, for certification.

And here I am again on the operating table. When the chief doctor, Valentina Vasilievna Alyabyeva, removed the brackets and opened her stomach, she said: why did they cut a person? She is completely healthy.

I asked not to close my eyes and not to give anesthesia, because I told them: nothing hurts me. The doctors took my insides out on the table again. I look at the ceiling and see everything that I have and what the doctors are doing to me. I asked the doctors what was wrong with me and what kind of disease I have? The doctor said: the whole inside is like a child's, clean.

Immediately, a doctor appeared, who then performed the first operation on me, and many other doctors were with him. I look at them, and they look at me and my insides, and they say: where is her illness? She had everything rotten and affected, but she became completely healthy. They stepped closer and gasped, wondered, and asked each other: where did she have the disease she had?

Doctors asked: does it hurt you, Klava? No, I say. The doctors were surprised, then they were convinced that I answered sensibly; and they began to joke: here, Klava, now you will recover and get married. And I tell them: hurry up and do my operation.

During the operation, they asked me three times: Klava, are you in pain? “No, not at all,” I replied. Other doctors present, and there were many of them, walked and ran around the operating room, as if beside themselves, grabbed their heads and hands, and were as pale as dead men.

I told them: it was the Lord who showed His mercy on me so that I could live and speak to others; and to you for admonishment that over us there is the power of the Most High.

And then I said to Professor Neimark Israel Isaevich: how could you be wrong? - I had an operation. He replied: it was impossible to make a mistake, you were all stricken with cancer. Then I asked him: what do you think now? He replied: the Almighty has reborn you.

Then I told him: if you believe this, be baptized, accept the faith of Christ and get married. He is Jewish. He blushed with embarrassment and was in terrible perplexity about what had happened.

I saw and heard everything, how my insides were put back; and when the last suture was made, the head physician Valentina Vasilievna (she operated) left the operating room, fell into a chair and sobbed. Everyone asks her in fright: what, Klava died? She answered: no, she did not die, I am amazed at where her strength came from, she did not utter a single groan: is this not a miracle again? It was clear that God helped her.

And she fearlessly told me when I was in the city hospital under her supervision that the Jewish professor who performed the first operation on me, Neimark Israel Isaevich, repeatedly persuaded Valentina Vasilyevna to kill me in any way, but she categorically refused, and at first she herself she personally looked after me, fearing that someone would kill me, she herself gave food and drink. A lot of doctors were present at the second operation, including the director of the medical institute, who said that this was an unprecedented case in world practice.

When I left the hospital, I immediately invited the priest whom I scolded and mocked as a parasite, but in essence he is a true servant of the Lord's altar. I told him everything, confessed and partook of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. The priest served a prayer service in my house and consecrated it. Before that, there was only filth in the house, booze, fights, and you can’t retell everything that I did. On the second day after repentance, I went to the district committee and handed in my party card. Since that former Claudia, an atheist and an activist, does not exist, for she died at the age of 40. By the grace of the Queen of Heaven and the Most High God, I go to church and lead a Christian life. I go to institutions and tell everything that happened to me, and the Lord helps me in everything. I accept everyone who comes, and I tell everyone about what happened.

And now I advise everyone who does not want to accept the torments that she told about - repent of all your sins and know God.

Scientists are sure that one person out of every two thousand who survived clinical death has a chance to see the afterlife.

“The last thing I remember is a huge garbage truck coming around the corner. It was no longer possible to slow down or turn off his path ... Then I flew in a long gray tunnel. How long it lasted, I don't know. Finally, an unbearably bright light appeared ahead. I closed my eyes, then nevertheless opened my eyes... An elderly nurse stood in front of me: "Sick, here is your duck"... Numerous books and Internet pages devoted to the phenomenon of "life after death" are filled with such or very similar stories.

Thank you resuscitation

The essence of the phenomenon is known - some people who have been in a state of clinical death and safely returned to consciousness by doctors talk about strange visions - tunnels, bright lights, someone saw angels, dead relatives. All these stories were born only in the 20th century thanks to the success of resuscitation. Defibrillators appeared, doctors mastered injections into the heart muscle, direct heart massage. As a result, by the present century, hundreds of thousands of those who have suffered clinical death and, having been in the next world, returned, have accumulated. Not all "resurrected" were then able to remember at least something. And yet there are enough people who have reported strange visions - near-death experiences, as they are now called. Scientists have no right to neglect them. You need to somehow explain.

Interest in the problem is still fueled by the repeatedly reprinted book "Life after Life" by the famous psychiatrist Raymond Moody. He was the first to collect and summarize the most striking manifestations of near-death experiences. Which, it seems, should not leave any doubts: the afterlife exists. But the same Moody claims that the stories of the “immigrants from the other world” are surprisingly similar for some reason:

“Dying, a person hears at the moment of extreme physical exhaustion how the doctor states his death. An unpleasant noise is heard - a loud ringing or hum. At the same time, he feels that he is rapidly rushing along a long dark tunnel... He is met by some creatures, and among them he recognizes dead relatives and friends...”

Diagnosis - narcolepsy

Scientists gathered 55 people who survived the state of clinical death and claimed to have been in that very mysterious tunnel. Scientists have made sure that all these people have sleep disorders. In particular, they have problems with the phase of the so-called REM or paradoxical sleep - either they were often tormented by terrible dreams, or at least once in their lives they suffered from such a rare phenomenon as an instant transition from wakefulness to REM sleep. This disease scientists have known for a long time - narcolepsy. People suffering from this disease can be both asleep and awake at the same time. The cause of the disease is associated with the human immune system, which suddenly begins to attack its own cells in an unexpected way - specific orexin neurons. But why this happens and how to deal with it, while doctors do not know.

Death is like a dream

I have never dealt with the problem of “life after death”, but I have seen many people suffering from a severe form of narcolepsy, says Roman Buzunov, Doctor of Medical Sciences. - Imagine that you are talking calmly with a normal serious person, and he suddenly begins to assert that, for example, the Virgin Mary or green men from Alpha Centauri are looking at him from the corner of the room. The nature of the vision depends on the worldview of the person - in my example, this is either a believer or a big fan of science fiction. AT mild degree narcolepsy has probably been experienced by many. For example, in the form of "sleep paralysis" - in a half-sleep you feel that you cannot move a single muscle. But it often happens that a person suffering from a severe or moderate form of narcolepsy seems to bifurcate. And ... watching himself from the side.

The author of all our dreams is the brain, the scientist continues. - How they arise is not completely clear. But if American scientists are sure that those who visited the next world suffered from narcolepsy, then we can assume that their visions are generated by certain processes going on in the brain, suffocating from lack of oxygen. This, by the way, is in good agreement with the fact that not all people who survived the state of clinical death experienced visions.

Narcolepsy

According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 2,000 people suffer from some form of narcolepsy. True, severe forms of the disease are very rare. The exact nature of this disease is unknown.

Narcolepsy is a chronic, possibly hereditary disease that affects both men and women.

EVERYTHING IS VERY SIMPLE

So, three mysterious things happen to a dying person, which, it would seem, have no other explanations than mystical ones:

In the 21st century, scientists seriously tried to understand what is behind such phenomena - the afterlife or physiology.

MYSTERY #1

Do not express yourself in the operating room - the dead person may be offended!

Devices show that the heart has stopped. What can a person actually hear?

Doctor of Medical Sciences, Honored Medical Worker of Russia, resuscitator Sergei Sarychev:

For obvious reasons, I can’t say this for sure, but I think that almost all patients who die in hospitals under the supervision of doctors, nurses, really hear their voices reporting “cardiac arrest”, “zero pulse”, etc.

After all, the brain “turns off” not instantly, but “layer by layer”. It has been proven that the working capacity of those parts of the head cortex that are responsible for auditory perception last the longest. They are the first to recover. If the patient can be brought out of a state of clinical death. In other words, at the moment when the heart stops and breathing stops, hearing can still work.

A well-known fact, - says the scientist, - in many textbooks for medical schools, especially when it comes to the ethics of a surgeon, you can often find a warning about the inadmissibility of a doctor displaying excessive emotions if a patient dies on his table. After all, it is possible that a person will still be able to revive - the word "resurrect" is inappropriate here - and negative emotions will not add health to him.

MYSTERY #2

Where does the tunnel lead

A rare near-death experience is complete without a tunnel through which one either wanders or rushes towards a bright light. Medicine does not see anything paranormal here either. For example, a well-known psychiatrist, corresponding member of the International Academy of Medical Sciences Sergey Levitsky explains this “vision” as follows:

When the heart stops beating, oxygenated blood stops flowing to the brain. Hypoxia begins. But if parts of the visual lobe of the cerebral cortex of the brain "turn off" very quickly, then the poles of the occipital lobes, which have a dual blood supply system, still continue to function. And the field of view is sharply narrowed! There remains only a narrow strip that provides central, "pipe" vision - the desired tunnel.

MYSTERY #3

All life before my eyes

And doctors associate this effect with the peculiarities of the functioning of the brain of a dying person.

For example, the British professor of medicine, Dr. Paul Wallace, is repelled by the same idea that the brain does not die “at once”. And he believes: the extinction begins with the youngest, from the point of view of evolution, brain structures. And ends - more ancient. The return to life goes in the reverse order - first, more ancient parts of the cerebral cortex are restored. And in the memory of a person, first of all, the most persistently imprinted "pictures" that have a bright emotional coloring emerge. These may well be memories of important events that happened to this person, the most emotional scenes of the funeral of friends, beloved relatives.

Analyzing the memories of "people from the other world", Dr. Wallace showed that the scenes from the life or faces of loved ones that surfaced in the course of "moving along the posthumous" tunnel "were lined up in chronological order - the reverse of how they happened in real life person.

BY THE WAY

Does the soul look at the body?

Yet the most mysterious phenomenon known in near-death mythology is out-of-body. Approximately a quarter of the resurrected dead, who remembered their journey to the afterlife, saw themselves from the outside. Dr. Olaf Blanke from the University Hospital in Geneva believes he has found a reasonable explanation. In his article, published in the respected scientific journal Nature, he described an experiment with a 43-year-old patient suffering from epilepsy. To investigate her illness, the scientist implanted electrodes in the woman's brain that stimulated the right temporal lobe. And he accidentally excited the angular gyrus located there - a structure that is connected with the organs of vision, touch and balance. As a result, a completely alive patient left the body - she saw herself from the outside.

Blanke, astounded, suggested that perhaps the dying, but still retaining nerve connections with the body, brain also somehow excites this gyrus. And with her participation sends information about the position of the body in space to the visual cortex. She perceives it in her own way, mixes it with the pictures obtained before consciousness had already turned off, and projects it onto the retina of the eye. There is an effect of vision turned inside out, and at the same time it seems to a person that he sees himself from the outside.

But what about the hidden teeth and other items that the clinically dead followed? Here materialistic skeptics refer to experiments in English Wales. Local doctors observed the clinical death of 39 patients. At the same time, they drew and placed leaflets with large symbols drawn on them near the temporarily deceased. And none of those who left their body "saw" the symbols.

Mysterious vision

The early orphaned biologist Kaneto Miyagi was raised by his grandmother, whom he loved more than anyone in the world, says Victor POTAPOV, a researcher of anomalous phenomena, a well-known writer, journalist and author of the book Great Mystical Miracles of the 20th Century. - So when he was informed that 82-year-old Katsuko-san had fallen and suffered a head injury, it was a big blow for Miyagi. He did not leave her bed for days. A few days later, my grandmother passed away. But her last moments before her death puzzled her grandson, who at the time was studying to be a biologist. Literally a moment before departing to another world, the peacefully lying old woman suddenly sat up on the bed and, gazing into space with horror, waved her hands, as if driving away someone. Then a desperate cry broke out from her: “Why did you come? Go away from me!"

For several years, Miyagi did not stop thinking about the mysterious vision of the dying woman. Who came to her? After interviewing many people who witnessed the death of their loved ones, he learned that similar episodes happened to others. Then the grandson, who by that time had already become a doctor of biological sciences, decided to take up the clarification of the "identity" of the mysterious "messengers of death." To do this, after consulting with experts in the field of extrasensory perception, Kaneto Miyagi ordered a universal device with a computer, sensors and a laser camera from electronics specialists. It only remained to find a suitable object for research.

indistinct shadows

Soon such a case presented itself, - continues Potapov. - In the house next to Miyagi, a lonely sick old man, Nabuki Shindo, was dying. With his written consent, Miyagi connected the sensors on his head to various points that correspond to the main parts of the brain, including visual and auditory. And he sat down in front of the computer screen.

As soon as the old man's agony began, Kaneto Miyagi turned on his equipment, and vague shadows appeared on the screen. A second before Shindou breathed his last, what appeared to be a figure detached from the dark clot, which soon turned into beautiful woman. The dying man perked up for a moment and smiled. And the beauty went to the bed and took his hand, as if inviting him to follow her. At that moment, Nabuki died.

The scientist was so amazed by what he saw that he immediately went to the Tokyo Center for the Study of Anomalous Phenomena. Director, Professor Alex Rinoko unexpectedly advised to stop further research into the unexplained phenomenon. He said that it was dangerous, because otherworldly forces do not tolerate attempts to penetrate the secrets of the afterlife. However, the scientist, not heeding the warnings, began to look for new objects for experiments.

wave of terror

The biologist managed to negotiate with the chief physician of a hospital for the poor on the island of Hokkaido. He promised to notify him by phone call if one of the patients died. And soon the long-awaited call rang. The first "client" was a 70-year-old old woman. At the last moment before her death, a laughing girl flashed on the computer screen, disappearing along with a cloud that separated from the body of the deceased. And for a 65-year-old cancer patient, an elderly man appeared. And then something unusual happened. In previous episodes, the "messengers of death" did not seem to see the scientist. But this time, the man who emerged from nothingness paid attention to him. The ghost looked at the biologist from the monitor so angrily that he almost fainted from the wave of horror that washed over him. A few days later, the researcher died in a car accident. Did Professor Rinoko's warning come true?

FROM THE ARCHIVE "KP"

What is beyond the "boundary"?

Near-death experience is not a very sonorous term that has become entrenched in the Russian language. This is a tracing-paper from the English phrase near-death experiences (NDE), denoting the state experienced by some during near-death experiences. The concept itself appeared about 40 years ago. American researcher Raymond Moody used it to describe the state of many people who have been "beyond" people who claim that at the moment of saying goodbye to life they saw dead relatives, a chronicle of their lives and felt an all-consuming sense of calm. And then they resurrected.

If these stories are ever confirmed, says Professor Sam Parnia of Harvard University, it will be proof that our current understanding of the mind, body, and brain is imperfect.

NUMBER

Less than 10 percent return from the afterlife, but, as a rule, they are struck by atherosclerosis. Only a few return triumphantly. For example, George P., at the age of 75, suffered five consecutive cardiac arrests and lived for another 12 years. And 40-year-old Lyudmila O., after returning, lived for another 27 years.
