What happens when we die?
This is the oldest question, the first question, the most important question, for on this question, all else depends.
Mankind's many ancient spiritual traditions pretty much all agree that it is possible for people to survive the death of their physical bodies. But it is hard for many people to take much comfort in this apparent agreement, for these spiritual traditions all differ very dramatically on just what it is that they think survives death, and what (if anything) is necessary to enable that "whatever it is" to survive. Some traditions say that survival depends on certain things being just right, and if those things are not right, then the person will fail to survive death. Other traditions, however, insist that survival is guaranteed, and nothing can prevent it from occurring.
Modern research into paranormal phenomena (such as Near-Death Experiences, Past-Life Memories and Past-Life Regression, and ghosts, apparitions, poltergeists, and possession and exorcisms) leave us pretty much in the same boat. While all this phenomena seems to point in roughly the same direction, suggesting that survival does occur, these different phenomena paint very different pictures about just what it is that does survive, and what changes happen during the transition.
In short, both our traditions and our modern scientific research seems to disagree almost as much as they agree, leaving us wondering why we should believe any of them if they all seem to be telling us different stories.
But the ancient Binary Soul Doctrine provides a solution to this dilemma. Through an ancient
hypothesis substantiated by modern science, it presents an argument for the processes of death
and the afterlife that neatly explains virtually all the different traditions of mankind's past, as well
as all the afterlife phenomena being studied and reported by today's paranormal researchers.
