The mystery of what happens after death!

(Edited)

I was raised in a Christian family and we had normalized being curious about any other topic except for religion. I was trained not to question all the prayers that have not been answered. But to rather be grateful for the life I have and write a prayer request to God while others were writing a wish list to Santa Clause.

I perceived this father Christmas guy to be a small red fish while Jesus was a whale and capable of granting all my wishes faster than all those who had to wait on Santa to deliver their prayers to Jesus.

When I got to university, I seemed to understand how the universe works and began to question most of the religious doctrines. I was interacting with Atheist scientists and those who strongly believed that science has no evidence to invalidate God's existence.

One night I prayed to God to give me a snapshot of what happens afterlife!

On that night I went to sleep after my daily prayer like any other night. But I dreamt of getting knocked by a train and seeing my soul leave my body.

I saw my soul elevate and appear in a place where people were relaxed having fun and feasting while others were busy with some cool gadgets and tech stuff.

On the other side, I saw people singing and looking all relaxed and peaceful. It looked exactly like what my pastor used to say "when we get to our father's palace, we will be singing songs of praise day and night with angels by our side". I thought so this must be Heaven, chai who needs such life singing and worshipping for eternity?

Hai no, I chose the first option without hesitation and ran through the gate without looking back. I heard my paternal grandma calling me on the other side, I acted like Peter and deny her three times pretending I couldn't recognize her.

Mind you, this is the woman who used to tell me stories about Heaven and I am not about that vibe to sing and worship forever with her there while others have the best modern life from the other side.

I went to the other side opposite my grandma's direction and I ran to the entrance that was written: "lleH" (read backward lol). I could smell my favorite lemon grass scent, there was a good vibe and it seemed like everyone is free to do whatever they want. I immediately ran to the buffet side to dish all the appetizing food.

Oh my Lord! just when I was about to sit and dig into my full-course meal! A funny-looking creature wearing Rock Python shoes with cobra laces and a belt made of crocodile skin came into the dining hall and screamed:

Time is up prats, happy 300th century but you can now all go back to work and if you reach our century target we will give you chance to also celebrate the 301st century with the same treats."

Before I could figure out where to go this little creature poked me with porcupine spines and instructed me to go to phase 1.

As I look around, everyone was rushing and I just followed the signs to the phase 1 check-in. when I got there I was given a list of tasks that needs to be done. I had to push the sun from sunrise to sunset in the southern hemisphere. At night I had to push the moon and polish all the stars to keep them shining.

I was a bit relieved when I noticed it will be raining in the next three days thinking this would give me time to rest. But to my shock, I was told I have to be opening sprinklers and monitor the pressure to make it rain.

And there were these huge fans I also had to blow to keep the wind blowing those who were used to it were blowing using even the back door. In addition, I had to paint and carry the rainbow on my head and move it to form its perfect arc shape.

I had to run like Usain Bolt to move a shooting star for a kid who was waiting for it down on earth to make a wish. I had to use a vacuum to keep the waves peaking especially at night!

While I was trying to process everything, I saw the guys on the other side busy with computers. I was told they control people's mind and body functionality. This is a senior position and I was a small fish not even qualified to do it.

They were programming people on earth on when each individual gets to poop, feel hungry, emotional, and go crazy. All those evil deeds on earth happen when the code gets corrupted or gets a bug or virus.

As we were pushing the sun, I started crying and calling my grandma. I was praying from sunrise to sunset pushing the sun and I just fell asleep at 11:59 am when the sun was meant to be fueled. Someone had to back me up and that location received sunshowers.

I woke up the following day in my room still on earth and ever since then I never uttered the words that I want to die and rest from the things of this world because the mystery of what happens after life still scares me to this day. There is no guarantee that one will rest afterlife.

Best life after death story ever! When I start my cult, there will definitely be a Gospel of Humbe.

😂😂 Oh my goodness!
Hmm the gospel of Humbe will fit well with your cult.

I will be honoured to come and give a keynote speech or should I say a testimony? 🤔🤭

Oh my! Who would have thought it'd be this fun to read about the after life lol

That mind controlling team got me laughing... So a bug or virus are to be blamed for the evil deeds on earth not the humans huh

So you denied your grandmother like Peter 😂 Funny grandchild, too bad!

This was a good read and like the other, those images are amazing!

True @amirtheawesome1. My version seems to be skewed to my imagination😅.

One thing I appreciate about the Quran and Bible is that they both agree on having an intermediate stage afterlife with the soul having to wait until the Day of Judgement to be led by Allah and Jesus respectively.
or
What's the Quran version?

Thanks for stopping by!😊🌺

Geez @comedyopenmic! That's the scary part.

I guess I would die for the second time on the other side because I doubt I would be able to cope with all those day-to-day tasks.😊

What's your thought on what happens after death?🤔

Thanks for stopping by!🌺

Wow. A sneak peek into the afterlife. But wait! 300 years before another feast? 😂

You have a very imaginative mind.
What was the first thing you said when you woke up?😂

And, I love the image graphics, they are giving!

Imagine @cheeamaka, we had to wait a whole century.😂

The first thing I did was to look up at the ceiling and say: "I'm so sorry grandma I know it's you and I love you so much"

Ey, I had to clear that out so she can still keep a place for me.🤭

Thank you!😊
And thanks for stopping by🌺
