- In Hinduism , it is believed that the soul begins its journey to the afterlife after three days.
- In Tibetan Buddhism , consciousness passes through several states over a period of 49 days.
- In some shamanic cultures , rituals are celebrated between the third and seventh day to accompany the “transition” of the spirit.
These beliefs, different but convergent, have the same function: to honor the passage, to help the living accept loss and to give meaning to the mystery of death .
The mystery that links science and spirituality
No scientific evidence confirms the existence of the soul, but studies show that the process of death is far from instantaneous .
Between biology and belief, there remains a grey area — a space where science bows before the unknown , and where spirituality finds its full meaning.
What if the real mystery wasn’t when the soul departs, but how life continues to exist, differently, through what we leave behind?
