London – 5 April 2000
Mr Altaf Hussain, MQM Founder and Leader, held an academic
session with the intellectuals, scientists, physicians and the students of
philosophy, psychology and metaphysics on 4 April 2000, at the MQM
International Secretariat, London.
‘Life After Death’ was the subject matter over which academic and
scholastic views were exchanged. On the
theme ‘life after death’, observed Mr Altaf Hussain, ‘innumerable books and
monographs of Research Institutes have been published which also include the
personal experiences of those who revived (in their own belief) after
death.’ Though it is very interesting,
rather fascinating subject, observed Mr Altaf Hussain, ‘as to what happened
after death, it is a time consuming and complex phenomena, and rather difficult
to arrive at conclusive findings.’ ‘In
the light of the published research literature on the subject, in my
perception, may be rightly or wrongly, but still based on these
research-scholars findings, justified in deducing that the human genes are the
repository of the events, incidents, experiences, experiments and the lingering
memories of the ancestors. Genes, in
turn, cause the formation of various limbs, which also includes an important
part, i.e. the brain. By this way all
the ancestral beliefs, experiences, events, experiments and observations are
transferred to the next generation in succession. All these events, memories, experiences, dogmas etc when
transferred (through the genes) from the immediate ancestor to the offspring,
are safely ensconced in the sub-conscious or sub-sub-conscious mind which for
convenience sake may be termed as the archive of the new born child,’ said Mr
Hussain. He added, ‘sometimes man
dreams unusual scenes, occurrences, events which he never witnessed or
experienced hitherto, yet he feels as if he had seen these things before. Some of the dreams, as he wakes up, remain
fresh in his memory. And on analysis
and to his astonishment he finds that he actually and physically was present in
that environment and that he witnessed all those places, buildings, and
localities as part of his routine normal life, though in fact in his real life
he had never seen these things. In the
light of these experiences, it becomes very evident that the genes of ancestors
containing some information are transferred to the new born child.’ Mr Hussain observed, ‘the human spirit or
energy, it seems, to be one of the type of an ‘electrical current’. When man dies, the spirit along with his
thoughts takes an upward flight. And as
spirit is invisible and cannot be seen or touched, similarly, the thoughts,
feelings, desires, beliefs, dogmas and such like abstract objects which remain
locked in the conscious, sub-conscious or sub-sub-conscious of the deceased
cannot be seen.’
Continuing he said, ‘the spirit or rather the electrical
current – the main ingredient of human body, when takes off its cage, the body
becomes inactive and lifeless, and the conscious part of the body also comes to
an end. But when the spirit leaves the
dead body, then probably it takes along with it all the information stored in
the man’s sub-conscious and sub-sub-conscious (mind). That may be the reason that the spirit is confronted with such
like experiences and witnesses whatever have been transferred from his
ancestors. This means that whatever
thoughts, feelings, belief, faith, dogma and ideals of the ancestors are
transferred to the spirit; it is confronted with the same experiences. Thus if the dead one is Muslim, normally he
sees the Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa (PBUH), and other akabireen and
buzurgs of Islam. If the dead one in
Christian, then normally the spirit sees Jesus Christ and his disciples. If the dead one is Hindu, then the spirit
may see Bhagwan, Ram, Hanuman, Krishna, Lakhshmi and other Gods and
Goddesses. If the dead is Jew then it
witnesses Moses and his disciples.’ Mr
Hussain added, ‘in the same way different persons see their prophets and his
disciples in dreams. Exactly in the
same way Ahle Tashi experience the exhortation of Hazrat Imam Hussain, Hazrat
Sakina, Hazrat Fatima, Hazrat Ali while asleep. Ahle Sunnah too have the basharats of their Buzurgs and religious
leaders.
Mr Altaf Hussain said that on
‘what happens after death’, there are a lot of books and published research
papers which are available in all libraries and bookshops, which contain some
of the experiences of those who claimed to have died but came back to
life. He concluded that the issue, what
happens after death, is rather time consuming and hence it is difficult to
arrive at a definite conclusion, though it is an interesting but a complex
theme. In view of the shortage of time,
we will have next session when I would like to make further observations in the
light of the research.
Thank you.
