For the sake of argument, let’s say tomorrow we are given undeniable, irrefutable proof there is life after death.
For example:
In science labs, all over the world, pens seeming float to boards and start writing.
A name is written. Age, sex, family members names, place where lived, time place and cause of death.
Everything needed to find out whom all these people were.
Everything matches up perfectly, and in every lab is a different name and information for that specific person.
Most of these events are even captured on recording equipment.
So, basically undeniable proof. BUT, NO INFORMATION ON WHAT IT IS LIKE THERE.
So, here is the question, or questions I have.
First, the main one.
Do you think this would make people change their behavior, striving to be better people?
Personally, I think a lot of people would. But I really don’t think it would for people whom are inherently bad. In fact, I think some bad people would try to use this information to control others.
I also wonder, how would religions handle this information?
Would it cause a panic?
Would people just sigh in relief, finally knowing the answer of life after death, or would they still want specifics of what “life” was like over there?
For these questions, I think some religions would of course use this to control their people, while others may not change at all and just have a “see, we told you” attitude and continue on their path.
And I think there would be a bit of everything, people panicking, sighing and questioning.
The pessimist in me says that after all the initial hoopla, everything would die down and life would go back to the way it is, for the most part.
The optimist in me hopes that if it did happen, most people would change for the better, at least striving to be better people, helping others, thinking before acting, worrying about the consequences of their actions, whether out of fear of a deity, having to return to “try again” or just the unknown of what might happen after this life.
Would you change, or feel you needed to?
Just something I’ve been pondering the last couple days.
And thanks to Wildtimes for a great reading referral!

We have 100% undeniable proof that smoking is bad for you...people still smoke.
We have 100% proof that if you commit murder (in some states in the USA) that you will put on death row and eventually 'extinguished'...people still kill.
We have 100% proof that your chances of surviving a road traffic accident are increased if you wear a seatbelt...people still don't buckle up.
Would people 'change' if proof of God or an afterlife existed? Not sure...I think some would, some wouldn't.

The reason is very simple. The spirituality is for each individual to experience.
It cannot be set up in experiments as the experience is not repeatable. Each spiritual experience is one-off.
However people who experience a spiritual event normally get shaken enough to believe.

PROVING WHAT NO OTHER IN HISTORY EVER HAS BEFORE...US!
But, For someone that acts like they got a clue and proceed to tell everyone how simple it is about our Spirituality, you haven't, my troubled friend, none, as not in the first clue about us, as we all are not humans haveing Spiritual experiences, but we are Spirit Being havein human experiences, as it is us, as Spirit Beings that are actually haveing a human experience and as you some how think it cannot be measured, as to our Spiritual experiences when we live, as Spirit Beings everyday of our lives and when, in fact, also it can be measured, because we all are A Spirit Being and A Spirit Force of Energy that was, in fact, made in God's image, as the one and only that created everything into our creation, as He is The Great Spirit Force of All Energy, as it has to be and is, as He is The Spirit Force of Energy that is what, that was what, that did create us into creation of this universe, as to who we have become now and as A Spirit Force of Energy to be Reclkoned with, as to each and everyone one of us...all those that get it, that is, will be and are.
So, this Spirit Being and or Living Ghost that we all are and have to be, as we now know and it is THE FACTS OF IT, all of matter is void of anything and that only leaves us, as Spirit Beings and or The Living Ghost that we all are and as I said, have to be and are, as A Spirit Force of Energy, as we all have to be and are because we are made in His image, of which, we know used His Spirit Force of All Energy to create everything into creation and the mere fact, also, we can be measured, as this Spirit Force of Energy, because of the mere fact all Energy can be measured, because all Energy can be either transformed, manipulated and or and here is the big one...COMBINED, as to make for a greater Energy Force, as we too can be and it is I that has not only devised away, but many of many ways that do, in fact, prove who we all really are, as made in His image, as A Spirit Force of Energy, because you can combine 2 Spirit Forces of Energy and create a greater Spirit Force of Energy, thus and therefore PROOF POSITIVE of who we all really are and have to be, as made in God's image, as A Spirit Force of Energy that we all are and of what all can be proven and has been by I, but told I have to do it in something else...till I don't prove it...by one of fame, in radio talk show and host of the a paranormal show, as in one Rob Simone, who said after I did show him real proof positive of who we all really are, as in A Spirit Being and as A Spirit Force of Energy, at that, but YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT NOR SHOWN ANY REAL PROOF OF IT, because it falls under The Secrete Sciences of The Forbidden Knowledge, as he said his producer said I had to prove it in something where I don't prove it, but I am putting my arse on the line for you and us all, as so WE ALL CAN REALLY KNOW THE TRUTH...WHO YOU/WE REALLY ARE...A SPIRIT BEING made in God's image!
Now, if you'd like to replicate my many ways to prove it..we can, as all we have to do is set it up and it will be wroth millions upon millions of dollars to anyone that will, as in whomever helps, as that is what they are offering up to anyone that can prove the paranormal, as in the many sites that think it can't be proven & offering up a MILLION DOLLARS EACH, but as I said, they do not want this known nor made known, as we are up against lots of people that are against us proving it, but all we have to do is...DO IT! as I tell you we can, if we can get some off their lazy backsides and get busy on this, as to contact me and I'll tell you what we need to do in order to get it done and prove to the world what no other in the history of the world has ever been able to do...prove what that can't be explained, as in the para, but also we will prove of yet another Fundamental Force of Energy, all the while at it, as in other than the only known 4 of as to date, as in Gravity, Electromagnetism, Super & Lower Atomic Energies, but also prove we are made in His image...while we are at it also and of what they do not want made known either...US, as a real Spirit Force!...as we are The Force!
SO, E-MAIL ME and I'll show YOU HOW TO SHAKE UP THE WORLD!...as if any 2 believe it shall be done, as it is written. Any 2!
