LIFE AND DEATH

I can still try to apply at McDonald's. It's not over yet, baby blue. Life is not over yet, and it will never truly BE over. I am not clinically depressed, thank God. I think being clinically depressed is the result of having in immature view of life & death. Those who think that death is a finality are going to get much more depressed than those who understand that it is really nothing other than a segue into a new beginning. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't believe in the standard view of reincarnation. However I also know that death can not be the END of consciousness. The soul is immortal, say all the tried & true philosophers. The soul cannot enter an earthly body for 100 years from out of nowhere, and then just evaporate back into nowhere again. It's got to start over, in a new life. I've always believed in cycles. Nothing in nature is just a straight line that goes off into the distance forever. Everything is cyclical. Everything eventually comes right back to from where it started. This is why déjà vu moments are so real to many of us.

We are just trying to fix our lives. We can fix them more and more until, one day, eventually, they will be perfect. Perfect merely means that nothing else can yet be improved. The question is can a man become God? My thought is that yes, indeed, man can become a God, given time: time throughout many successive lifetimes. But the question of where those lifetimes begin in time or, how they begin in time, is quite another question. Time is a mysterious concept, wrought with confusion if you look at it from a 2D perspective, too rigidly. Even 3D is not enough. 5D is not something that I understand. I am just concerned about how all of these concepts line up. I believe in free will, and I also know that 'you get what you deserve.' Everything that has ever happened to us is our own fault and our own doing. We can't realistically blame anyone else for any of our problems. All the blame comes right back to yourself. Whatever happened to you happened for a reason. You earned it. You've got to try harder. If someone punched you in the face and it knocked your front tooth out, it was only because of something that you'd done earlier, or later. If someone, on the other hand, gave you a $1,000 check, it was only because of something that you'd done earlier, or later, to him, or her, and everyone else. I define God as 'the totality of consciousness that exists.' Whatever happens or happened to you is simply because you asked God for it. So don't complain. The soul of Hop is the soul of God in an earthly shell. In Hinduism, there is Atman, the spirit of Brahman (God) that is in all of us, each and every 1 of us. The more we can surmount selfish, physically oriented habits & desires, the closer to embodying Atman we get. The Buddhist faith is that with enough effort, we can eventually supersede the need to incarnate into a physical body, and when we finally die for the last time, we leave our last earthly body behind, to remain in pure thought for ever more. My main point is that DEATH is NOT the end of LIFE. For you, for me, for anyone. Previously I have posted, DEATH IS AN ILLUSION. I have also posted that death is like a big sleep, a Dreamless sleep. You can't feel anything when you're dead, you just feel nothing. LIFE IS ALL THERE IS. Heidegger published a book called Being and Nothingness in which he asked the question, 'why do we have existence? Why is it that we can't even Imagine having nothing, instead...' LIFE IS ALL WE KNOW. WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE BEING DEAD. Death is an oblivion. The good part about this is that we will not go to a hell of an afterlife; the 'after life' is simply & merely the life you land in after This one. You are born into a new dimension. Psychologically however our bodies are made up, determines how we see the world and feel about it. Because you will be feeling the world with all of the improvements that you have brought about in yourself, you will feel it in a new, better, way in your next life. I studied logic, math and science. If something doesn't work, you simply must discard it. Who ever heard of a sleep that didn't end? Who ever heard of a night that didn't end? Whoever heard of a straight line that extended forever? I think that LIFE is all we know. I also think that it is all we'll ever know. Another important point I would like to introduce is, why are some people born MENSA IQ geniuses, and beauty prom queens, while others are born cripples, w diseases and substandard IQs? It must be because of something the person has done in his or her own life. It must be because of the choices they have made. We all get to choose what kind of body we will inherit in our next life. It all follows from how perfect a life we lead, according to God's statutes and commandments.

My main problem is the illusive nature of 'time' as we perceive it. It is not really sequential, but rather simultaneous. Realistically, everything you should do is in the past, present, and future, simultaneously. I have a big problem determining how what we do in this life determines what goes down in the 'next' life. This goes back to what I said earlier about how it is difficult to answer the question of where a lifetime begins in time or, how it begins in time. It is also true that time as we know it might not have anything to do with psychological time, as it relates to a being born 'after' his or her 'previous' lifetime, after death, because when I view time, I see some things as happening before, some things now, and some things later. In reality, all time is simultaneous!

I just have a hard time connecting all of the concepts of time, and life and death!
