Living in the afterlife: clues from direct experiencers

The aim of this study is to obtain detailed information about the afterlife, and how discarnate entities live there by using for the first time 18 independent sources of information comprising seven selected participants claiming to be able to interview entities living in the afterlife, and eleven books written by different authors who claimed to be able to visit or communicate with entities from this dimension.The information obtained from these 18 sources was analyzed for their content consensus level using three artificial intelligence tools, namely ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude to control their agreement level.Among the main common characteristics related to the afterlife, it emerged that individual consciousness continues after physical death, that the afterlife is a realm of spiritual growth and evolution, consisting of multiple levels, dimensions, or planes of existence, and that it is thoughts and emotions responsive.Differences were noted in the description of individual soul’s appearance, the natural and artificial environment, types of communications, and types of mental activity. These variations may reflect different stages of spiritual evolution or different perspectives given by entities at various levels of understanding as well as representing the limitations of human language in capturing the essence of non-physical existence.Although most of the information obtained by our different sources converge on the general description of the afterlife, and how life proceeds in these realms, they cannot be considered conclusive evidence of the afterlife and its characteristics. However, they can be used as preliminary information for future studies using different sources of information and methods of investigation.
