How to prove immortality of soul?

[Bahman]

Why are you separating the flower itself and the flower’s existence?

Christi pax,

Lucretius

Because you couldn’t possibly know about the existence of flower otherwise. The existence of a flower is an abstract concept by itself whether you look at a flower or just imagine it.

 

[Neoplatonist]

St John Bosco saw his dead mother.
Surely that is evidence her soul is immortal.

Many of the saints saw those in Purgatory or heaven. The evidence out there is staggering.

Surely if a living person sees a deceased soul, that.is evidence that a soul is immortal?

Why go to philosophy when you have concrete evidence such as Maria Simma’s in Austria who for her whole.life saw the deceased Souls in Purgatory visiting her for prayer, read her book by Nicky Eltz. The saints have countless examples. No need to use reasoning when there is hard concrete solid proof throughout all the lives of the saints of Heaven, Purgatory, and that human Souls are there or lost.

If that is our standard, then we are hard-pressed to rule out the truth claims of people who have claimed in similar accounts to have been abducted by aliens, claims by mystics from other religions saying that we fully merge with God, rather than remaining separate to worship Him in the afterlife, and so on.

How do we rule out a delusion-inducing mental condition common to the saints’ cases?

NDE seem to be universal, so that is, at least, evidence in their favor.

I personally don’t think that NDE gives a glimpse into the afterlife, but I also understand that my thoughts are also currently the less reasonable option.
