what happens after death

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:50:18 UTC

plato says there is a transitioning period after death

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:50:36 UTC

hoped for another god that was wise & good

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:50:55 UTC

he was a peace with leaving earth ( you should not be afraid of the next phase)

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:51:21 UTC

during the transition, he said there will be separation of body & soul

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:53:16 UTC

when we are on earth, our body at times does not relate to soul

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:53:36 UTC

our souls are imprisoned by our bodies

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:54:25 UTC

our soul uses our body as an instrument of perception

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:54:59 UTC

plato believed in three parts of the soul

1. The Appetites

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:55:40 UTC

includes pleasures, comforts, physical satisfactions and bodily ease

2. The Spirited

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:56:34 UTC

"hot blooded part" this part of us overcomes and stands up for injustice

3. The Mind

tenaa77 — 2024-10-24 01:56:54 UTC

our conscious awareness

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 17:46:02 UTC

Plato believed that philosophy was a way to prepare for death

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 17:47:17 UTC

death is natural and not something we should fear

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 17:51:02 UTC

soul is immortal

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 18:07:20 UTC

the body prevents the soul from acquiring wisdom until it is release after death

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 18:15:31 UTC

Plato believed what mortals do while they are alive will be returned to them when they die. They will be either rewarded or punished.

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 18:20:30 UTC

the reward would be for their soul to be able to leave their body completely.

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 18:23:24 UTC

Punished would mean they will remain and enter another body, enduring death again

tenaa77 — 2024-10-25 18:25:05 UTC

souls that are corrupt will remain in-between. With no body or complete freedom
