It seems that our existence is the result of what a huge window of time will produce. <br /><br />Maybe perhaps after our death, after another huge window of time passes, we will reappear in another dimension or universe to experience another lifetime...just saying!

The separation is an illusion in that we feel separate from life. We are life.ex-minister1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17018356792881679541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-4622723590435408882010-06-26T16:49:08.918-04:002010-06-26T16:49:08.918-04:00I think the fear of death is genetically encoded i...I think the fear of death is genetically encoded into us. Animals that fear death probably are more likely to live long enough to reproduce.<br /><br />Having said that, I think we can use our intellect to logically examine death and minimize the impact that fear has over our decision making.libhomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537213558568338561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-15911698861136376502010-06-24T17:37:17.536-04:002010-06-24T17:37:17.536-04:00THE ILLUSION OF IMMORTALITY by Corliss Lamont is a...THE ILLUSION OF IMMORTALITY by Corliss Lamont is a great read.speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07770183555873499062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-86996649393028745932010-06-24T17:33:05.270-04:002010-06-24T17:33:05.270-04:00I think that when we are dead, it will be EXACTLY ...I think that when we are dead, it will be EXACTLY like it was before we were born: NOTHINGNESSspeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07770183555873499062noreply@blogger.com
