For thousands of years, mankind has been interested in the question of what happens after physical death. In almost all world religious cults, it is believed that a person has a soul that leaves the body after death and goes to another world. But until now, science has not determined the exact characteristics of the soul and there is no evidence of its existence. It is also not known for certain what happens after death, so this riddle continues to excite the minds of not only researchers, but also ordinary people.
Soul research
Official science has repeatedly attempted to study the human soul in order to confirm its existence. The first experiments were carried out at the beginning of the 20th century, when researchers placed people on the verge of death on the scales. These experiments were carried out with the consent of the relatives of the dying people. As a result, it turned out that at the time of death, the person became several grams lighter. Similar studies were carried out in the 70-80s of the last century. The result was similar, and this allowed us to conclude that the weight of a person's soul is from 2 to 6 grams. However, the existence of the soul itself, as well as its definition, was still not proven.
At the same time, the stories of people who have experienced clinical death continue to accumulate. This evidence is paradoxical, since, according to experts, in a state of clinical death, the human brain stops functioning. This means that a person cannot memorize information in this state. Nevertheless, patients who have experienced clinical death often recall colorful visions that visit them in this state, as well as the journeys they made in an immaterial body. Some then describe in detail the events that took place in the operating room, which they could not see. There is a lot of such evidence, and this allows us to make the assumption that human consciousness functions separately and independently of the brain. In addition, in New York, in the laboratory of the Society for Psychical Research, experiments were repeatedly carried out on mindful exit from the body. In this case, the subjects were injected into an altered state of consciousness. Then they had to leave their body and get to a pre-agreed place, or complete the assigned tasks. After awakening, people talked about where they were and what they were doing. At the same time, it deserves special attention that the subjects could describe in detail the places in which they had never been in reality, which served as evidence of their exit from the body. This is a confirmation that the soul really exists. After awakening, people talked about where they were and what they were doing.

Does reincarnation exist
A person's life after death, according to many religious beliefs, does not end. In Buddhism, for example, it is believed that a person's soul goes through an endless series of rebirths, after death re-incarnating in a new form. Moreover, the next life can take place not only in the human body, but also in an animal, and even a plant. This, like fate, depends on the actions taken in a past life. Christianity denies the fact of reincarnation, since it is believed that each soul comes to this world only once.

However, during the existence of human civilization, many mysterious cases have accumulated that confirm the phenomenon of reincarnation. It was especially widespread among the hermits and lamas of Tibet. There are known stories when spiritually developed adepts could tell in detail not only about their past lives, but also about their future incarnation. At the same time, a detailed description of the place where this would happen and the time was given, which was further confirmed. Thus, the clergy found a new incarnation of their mentor. He was subjected to checks and after successfully passing them, he was taken with him to the temple. The check consisted in the following. The child, who was supposedly the next incarnation of the teacher, was given his things. If he recognized them, it means that the truth was his new incarnation. There were also other types of checks. Further,if he passed all the tests successfully, he was trained in the monastery, and he continued the activities of his predecessor. This phenomenon does exist in Tibetan monasteries, despite the fact that there is no rational explanation.
Until now, solid evidence of the existence of the soul has not been found, despite the fact that a lot of facts and results of experiments have already accumulated. One of the most interesting and plausible hypotheses in this case is the assumption that the soul and material body of a person is a complex multi-level system. At the same time, the body plays the role of an instrument necessary for knowing the physical world and interacting with it. Thanks to this, the essence, called the soul, gains the necessary experience, returning again and again to the earth.
