- W4256337780 abstract "As far back as we can trace distinctively human life there is evidence of special treatment of the dead. They are not, like other animals, eaten or left to rot. And the known burial customs have always included some symbolic indication of a belief in the continued existence of the departed spirit — often food or weapons, sometime ornaments, buried with the corpse to aid the spirit’s journey to the realm of the ancestors. The late-nineteenth-century anthropologists who were able to study the then remaining primal societies in Australia, Polynesia, Africa and South America reported the widespread idea, not of an immaterial soul, but of a shade, a ghostly insubstantial double, of the bodily individual. This was assumed to continue in a dim underworld, until it gradually faded and was lost to tribal memory. And the earliest written expressions of a conception of the life to come are very similar. For the early Hebrews Sheol was a gloomy underworld deep in the earth. Job lamented, ‘Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort before I go whence I shall not return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness, the land of gloom and chaos, where light is as darkness’ (Job 10:20–2). And there was no hope of return from Sheol: ‘He who goes down to Sheol does not come up’ (Job 7:9). (The idea of the resurrection of the dead — possibly derived from Zoroastrianism — developed in the post-prophetic period of the last two or three centuries BCE.) The neighbouring ancient Sumerians, Assyrians and Babylonians shared the belief in a dark underworld.KeywordsFalse MemoryPrevious LifeEternal LifeBuddhist PhilosophyContinue LifeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
