Afterlife

The Afterlife involves the belief that the human soul or spirit, the essence and personal identity of a person, survives after it leaves the body.

Alternating Viewpoints
 In some views, this existence takes place in a spiritual realm such as heaven, hell, or nirvana, but in other views, the individual may be reincarnated to begin the life cycle over again. In this latter view, such rebirths may take place over and over again until the individual gains entry to a spiritual realm.
