Afterlife (Endings)

BBella and I have finally reached agreement on the identity of the soul (if there is one) which might move into an afterlife (if there is one).-Your posts are fascinating, as are your experiences. I remember you telling us about your OBE/NDE, but I've looked for it and can't find it. (I guess it would have been about four years ago.) Were you on a beach? I'm afraid what I remember most vividly of all is the fact that you had mentioned having had strange experiences, and I hesitated long and hard before asking you to give us an account, for fear of seeming to pry! I'm very glad I did, but perhaps you could refresh our memories. -I can't disagree with the options you would like left open to you in your IBT. All very attractive. Whether the subconscious is as trusty as Tonto, though, I don't know. It's the storehouse of nightmares as well as dreams, traumas as well as wisdom.-Interesting that you've also considered the DNA theory. It has a pleasing logic.-I once used the hall of records (it was a kind of library) as a theatre image that began gently and finished frighteningly. I don't like it. My ideal afterlife would allow for the obliteration of nasty things, and for absolutely no figure of authority exercising permanent surveillance! You have mentioned "friend souls", but that could pose a problem too. Supposing X wants to be your friend, but you don't want to be his? (You can see that I still expect some problems up there!)-Anyway, if we do all go to your IBT, perhaps we can arrange a party at the ex-Agnostics Club. I am notorious for losing my way, however, so I shall rely on you as the most experienced of us to give me precise directions.
