Scientology: Do you believe in an afterlife?

Steph asked: Do you believe in an afterlife?

Depends on your definition of afterlife. I have personal certainty that I am an individual spiritual being who has lived before and will live again. It's like you buy a car and it eventually breaks down and you go buy another one. That is how I view bodies. The body I had last lifetime died, so I got myself another one and when this one dies I'll get another. It's a very simple concept.

Thanks to the auditing I have had, I can easily recall my past lives, so I have a strong personal certainty about this.

Other ideas of what constitutes an afterlife are things like "heaven" and "hell". There is no data in Scientology about those, so an individual can make up his or her own mind about them.

Past Lives - Easy to Prove

The fact that one has lived before this life becomes very clear after a person has had Scientology Auditing. How long it takes a person to recall some past-life experience varies depending on the individual. Of course, no one insists that a person recalls a previous existence, it just happens as part of increasing ones spiritual awareness.

Because the idea of having lived before has been suppressed in the western world for thousands of years, when people a past life they will usually shy away from the memory or think it is from a movie or something they dreamed up from a book they read. But despite this. it is possible to recall past-lives without auditing, and there have been numerous such cases in the past (such as the Bridey Murphy case). Where the idea hasn't been suppressed for so long, reincarnation is a common idea. For example, it is part of most eastern religions.

So when a young boy in the USA starts to remember his life and death as a pilot during WWII, it doesn't really surprise me, but perhaps it will be of interest to you. Here is the video:
