Computer \"reads\" memories... (Humans)

Sorry for the late reply, have been on Easter Holiday week with family out of town and just getting settled back at home.->I agree entirely with you that our suffering enables us to appreciate the good things all the more (a fertile approach to the subject of good and evil), and it will have helped to fashion us, but we will have left it behind us. In my ideal afterlife, then, all the causes of suffering will have been removed. That's why I said that there would be no body (the cause of much suffering, as you know only too well), -But, because everything would be your choice, why could you not retain a physical body and it not be subject to deterioration, etc? Why would the physical body be the cause of much suffering if we were perfect and in a perfect environment?->Your idea of rest periods and of the voluntary choice to return to Earth in one form or another appeals to me as a possible refuge from boredom. Perhaps this should also entail the voluntary eradication of our past. I'd have to think about that when/if the time came. Your hologram might serve the same function, since it feels real ... but in that case, why not go for the real thing on Earth? -The real thing entails the suffering of many beings but the hologram would only appear to have suffering, as a reminder.->Of course, our life here may also seem like a hologram once it's over, just as our own past sometimes feels like someone else's dream.-I've always said, my past seems like a book I once read...or like a dream I had. But, who is to say that life isn't just that way? Seems like it is the aborigine who claim life is the dream. Even better, maybe it is all a hologram, which is the basis of the book written by Michael Talbot; Holographic Universe. He brings physics into the paranormal realm, which is interesting. Excellent reading! Bohm and Pribram theorize a holographic universe as well, maybe there are others. 
 
> Matt's ideal UT that he would become God may help to explain why my ideal UT would be that there is no God! Despite my great respect and admiration and affection for my fellow truth-seeker, I don't want to be under the authority of any being subject to the same flaws and weaknesses as myself. Nor would I wish to wield such authority. You may argue that since I have the choice here, I can choose to have a God who is perfect according to my own concept of perfection. But my own concept entails a universe in which life goes on indefinitely in its earthly way (a given, unavoidable present truth) and in its unearthly way (ultimate truth, as described here and in my first post), and so there is absolutely no need for a God.-I agree in totality with the above. I believe the universal fabric, as it appears from my point of view, does allow for, or can accommodate everything we both have in mind, without an overseeing/authoritative god that allows or not allows. But, if there is an actual overseeing "God," maybe this being is using the fabric for his own purpose...who knows?
