BELIEF is not complicated. (Introduction)

I cannot accept an approach to the way I live life and conduct myself as predicated upon whether I think there is an afterlife. I hopefully think there may be an afterlife based on the findings I discussed in my book, but I will not act like a child afraid of reward or punishment as a guide to the way I will act. I want to look back on a productive life in which I pleased other people as well as myself in the process. In that way I let the issue of afterlife take care of itself. Again, as dhw has noted I carry myself only so far as I can prove to myself the issues of spirit and belief. I prefer the Kaballistic approach to afterlife in a wishing way. But who knows if they are correct even if they have been meditating for at least 1,500 years to find a universal truth.
