A BRAND NEW VIEW OF LIFE AND DEATH

(note that I do not really believe this is the case; it is just a thought experiment)

I think that death must be the reversal of time.

Think of a wave. It oscillates. It goes back and forth and theoretically continues forever. This is life and death. 

Your life going in one direction is life. Your life going in the other direction is death. Your life lived one way is your life right now, your life moving the opposite way is death. But death is life and life is death; they are equal. 

Death is nothing but the reversal of time; the turning back around, the bouncing back of time. Life and death combined is like a wave that vibrates. 

Another way to think of it is like an audio cassette tape being played. You put in side A, it plays to the end, and then (if you have an automatic tape-flipper) it automatically plays the same tape from the end (the new beginning) to the beginning (the new end). The end is the new beginning and the beginning is the new end. Death is the new birth and birth is the new death. 

Birth leads to death which turns into new birth. Then that life (death) continues until its death (birth). It is the end of that phase of the wave. Birth is/was death. The one always turns into the other. And the process never stops. 

What we are trying to do is perfect our lives from back to front, front to back. 

What was once the stretching off of time into the future soon will become the stretching off of time into the past when time reverses its direction at the end of life– the beginning of 'death,' or, as you may now see it, the beginning of life and the end of death. It oscillates. 

You never die except for at 1 moment, and you are never born, but just for 1 moment. A moment is imperceptible by itself; it needs the next moment to follow it to give it meaning. The moment of life and that of death are equal. Life can be viewed as death and death can be viewed as life. 

My cat Gray listened to me spew this shit for hours, tonight. 

Death is not to be feared– unless you fear your current life– for it is not oblivion. We are trying to perfect our lives. Life is just death when viewed from the proper perspective. It is merely the recourse of the wave. 

Time moves forwards or backwards, depending on which way you're living life/death. But forwards is backwards when viewed from the opposite perspective, and vice versa. 

You are dead though 'alive' right now. When you 'die' you'll be alive on the opposite end of the spectrum, but lost to our ride with time in this moment; what's the proper direction of time is the opposite from the opposite end: what looks like death is really more life. What seems like birth is really only the transformation of death. Existence seems like life at the time, but would look like death from the opposite end. The opposite ends always seem incomprehensible to each other, but are really nothing but time being reversed.

What seemed like forwards is now backwards and what seemed like backwards is now forwards. 

Death is just life, life just death.

There is no end to the process and it continues forever.
