Afterlife (Introduction)
Alexander did mention a 'god' of sorts, but more along the lines of a 'power' instead of a persona.
I have no problem at all accepting the divide between mental and physical, and to some extent, I would subdivide it further into mental, physical, and spiritual. The names are kind of misnomers though. Mental in this regards is the direct activity of the gray matter turning the gears, different than the 'spiritual' which is the ghost in the machine driving the car.
His description of the hyper-reality doesn't particularly surprise me either. I think it might be described as "reality that is unfiltered by your senses and brain". When you think about it, everything that we experience as humans passes through two major bottle-necks. The first is the physical apparatus of our senses, which anyone who has vision or hearing problems like I do knows are very limiting indeed. The second bottle-neck is our brain. While its processing capacity is truly incredible, it is not infinite in size nor speed nor organization.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
