	Egypt - Afterlife - Coffins - Mummy Masks - Crystalinks
		To enjoy the afterlife, all these elements had to be sustained and protected from harm.
		In effect, they democratized the afterlife, eliminating the royal exclusivity of the Pyramid Text.Mostly, as the modern name of this collection of spells implies, the text was found on Middle Kingdom coffins of officials and their subordinates.
		This vision is vividly depicted in the sculptures, reliefs, and wall paintings of Egyptian tombs, with the deceased portrayed in the way he or she wished to remain forever accompanied by images of family and servants.

	Afterlife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The afterlife (or life after death) is a generic term referring to a continuation of existence, typically spiritual and experiential, beyond this world, or after death.
		Another afterlife concept which is found among Hindus, Rosicrucians, Spiritists, and Wiccans is reincarnation, as evolving humans life after life in the physical world, that is, acquiring a superior grade of consciousness and altruism by means of successive reincarnations.
		Schopenhauer in particular argued that the idea of an afterlife or immortal soul is contradicted by the fact that it is impossible to attach sense to such a concept as the soul without reference to characteristics such as consciousness, which depend on such physical entities as the brain.

	Afterlife
		The "afterlife", or "life after death", is a generic term referring to a "continuation" of existence, typically spiritual, experiential, or ghost-like, beyond this world, or after death.

	Heaven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Those who believe in heaven generally hold that it (or Hell) is the afterlife destination of many or all humans.
		The Bahá'í teachings state that there exists a hierarchy of souls in the afterlife, where the merits of each soul determines their place in the hierarchy, and that souls lower in the hierarchy cannot completely understand the station of those above.
		Each soul can continue to progress in the afterlife, but the souls development is not dependent on their own conscious efforts, but instead on the grace of God, the prayers of others, and good deeds performed by others on Earth in the name of the person.

	Afterlife
		AfterLife, which has its London Film Festival premiere on Friday, was shot in five weeks on a budget of £200,000.
		AfterLife feels authentic, no doubt because Andrea Gibb's script was inspired by her own sister, Sharon, who has Down's.
		Although AfterLife celebrates being 'differently abled', Gibb is aware of the challenges that having a Down's child can place on a family (she finally decided to write the script when she read about a couple in their seventies who killed their son because they were terrified he would be abandoned after they died).

	Judaism 101: Olam Ha-Ba: The Afterlife
		It is possible for an Orthodox Jew to believe that the souls of the righteous dead go to a place similar to the Christian heaven, or that they are reincarnated through many lifetimes, or that they simply wait until the coming of the messiah, when they will be resurrected.
		When the messiah comes to initiate the perfect world of peace and prosperity, the righteous dead will be brought back to life and given the opportunity to experience the perfected world that their righteousness helped to create.
		The spiritual afterlife is referred to in Hebrew as Olam Ha-Ba (oh-LAHM hah-BAH), the World to Come, although this term is also used to refer to the messianic age.

	Afterlife
		Jewish teachings on the subject of afterlife are sparse: The Torah, the most important Jewish text, has no clear reference to afterlife at all.
		For example, belief in the afterlife motivated the men of the Spanish Inquisition to torture innocent human beings; they believed it was morally desirable to torture people for a few days in this world until they accepted Christ, and thereby save them from the eternal torments of hell.
		Thus, when someone says he or she believes in God but not in afterlife, it would seem that either they have not thought the issue through, or they don't believe in God, or the divine being in whom they believe is amoral or immoral.

	Afterlife for PC Review - PC Afterlife Review
		Afterlife represents one of the most unusual videogame concepts to ever make it to store shelves.
		As a semi-omnipotent being (I know that's a bit of an oxymoron, but this game's full of things like that), you are responsible for laying out a functional heaven and hell to reward or punish the denizens of a strange planet.
		Players wade through the difficulties of housing souls in their prospective areas and face “new” challenges in the form of bad vibes (equivalent to Sim City's crime), lost souls (equivalent to Sim City's dissatisfied residents), and powering rewards and punishments with a substance called ad infinitum (equivalent to Sim City's power plants and power lines).

	Amazon.co.uk: Afterlife [2005]: DVD: Lesley Sharp,Andrew Lincoln (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Although Afterlife is frightening, I found it interesting that I also felt empathy for most of the ghosts in the series because of the dilemmas they were in.
		Afterlife shows the point of view of the ghosts, as well as the live humans affected by them.
		Lesley Sharp is amazing in Afterlife- truly believable and a very different role from other things I've seen her in- The Full Monty, Bob and Rose and so on.

	TechnoFILE Looks at LucasArts' Afterlife
		In Afterlife, you’re a "Regional Spiritual Director," responsible for managing the growth of both Heaven and Hell and - even more difficult - keeping track of them to ensure the Heavenly Rewards (and Hellish punishments) are doled out efficiently and the people’s vibes remain good (or bad).
		Souls enter your Afterlife via gates; you zone and develop your Great Beyond’s unreal estate according to the seven deadly sins or their opposite virtues (gluttony vs. temperance, etc.).
		With billions of souls to punish and reward, and the game’s extensive graphing and statistical tools, it can be tempting to say "to Hell with it," and go back to the aimless thrills of Duke Nukem.

	Afterlife
		It is inevitable, though, that a religion as old as Judaism would develop some thoughts regarding the afterlife, particularly since association with people of other religions exposed the Jews to many theories.
		However, the disinclination to stress the afterlife resulted in diverse opinions that were never combined into one dominant theory.
		To aid the transition, many people buried in other countries request that a small amount of soil from Israel would be put under their head in their graves.

	Afterlife (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		But even in modern perspectives that downplay reward and punishment, it is taken for granted that conditions in the afterlife are morally benign — that persons are enabled to continue their lives in circumstances that are at least morally tolerable, and at best dramatically life-enhancing.
		The close connection between theism and an afterlife is further confirmed by Kant's arguments for the “postulates of practical reason.” To be sure, Kant gives different reasons for postulating God and for postulating an afterlife, and the ends to be served by these postulations are ostensibly different.
		Death, Afterlife and Eschatology, provides a compilation of referenced sources from around the world on the topics of death, afterlife, and eschatology.

	INTERVIEW: Hirokazu Kore-Eda Remembers "Afterlife"
		Posed with this question, Hirokazu Kore-Eda ("Maborosi") documents the answers in his new film, "Afterlife." Part scripted, part documentary, the film brings up questions of reality and memory, forcing the audience to contemplate the question themselves.
		A meditative cross between "Defending Your Life" and "A Christmas Carol," the film follows a group of characters, all recently deceased, who are taken on a journey through their past by a group of social workers.
		This description however gives only a hint of insight into the complexities and depth of "Afterlife," a hilarious and moving account of moving on.

	Jewish afterlife beliefs
		Because of the non-centrality of the afterlife for Judaism, this tradition has been able to entertain a wide variety of different afterlife notions throughout its history, more so than perhaps any other religion.
		As with both the ancient Greeks and Mesopotamians, the afterlife, if it was considered at all, was conceived of as a pale shadow of earthly life, much like the Greek Hades.
		Also similar to the Greek Hades, in the Hebrew afterlife no distinction was made between the treatment of the just and the unjust after death.
