Afterlife (Endings)
BBella and I are discussing possible afterlives.-BBELLA; It would actually be eternal life with many endings, if you (visit) spend lives in places that have endings, like earth. Going back to the base/heaven/the inbetween/etc. would be a joyous occasion each time, especially finding out, again, life is eternal and you really didn't die (as many NDE'rs explain it). -The bodies of NDE'rs are technically dead, and although they can perceive things in our world (as in OBEs) they can obviously experience a different world too, so I guess this fits in nicely with your vision. I wonder, though, if the places you visit and the people you meet will all be pleasurable. If lovely folk like you live on with your identities intact, so will nasty folk like Hitler, and so will his millions of victims. Trust dhw to cast a dark shadow! But the thought is serious. Tony thinks we are all going to be PHYSICALLY resurrected. I shan't reopen the painful discussion he and I have just had, but for me, the mystery of consciousness and NDEs constitutes an immensely important element of this whole discussion. If we really aren't simply the sum of our materials, consciousness has to be a form of energy that is independent of the brain (this unknown form of intelligent energy is precisely how David sees his god). An afterlife only seems feasible to me in this form. But if one person's consciousness is independent, then so is everybody else's. And if one person keeps his identity, then so does everybody else. And if it's possible to visit places, commune with people, perceive, and feel emotions (as NDE'rs appear to do), then all options remain open, good and bad: Mahler's 2nd and the screams of the tormented.-BBELLA: But in the end of it all, what really matters is what brings me comfort while I am still here. And it is the same for you and for all of us.-Sadly, there are many folk who find no comfort, but most of us on this website seem to have found our own very different ways of coping with the great uncertainties of this world. For me, most of the future possibilities are both comforting and even exciting. It's only some of the religious fist-shaking that puts me off.
