Look at your next home my friend. It may looks a lot like that clip of the earths magnetic field. Now let's not forget that this is all speculation, but if I am correct, that is the home of our/a cosmic consciousness. What you call what will serve our next state.
Hey Digi Sorry its been so long. Life's been up and down and sideways all the same, barely had time to be on the VS forum at all.
anywho, here goes:
You're more than free to back up the meaning behind something that has no impact whatsoever. This is the place for it. My ability to find meaning however, can't be properly judged off simple posts in this thread
It's up to you to believe it or not dude. If I know anything in life, it's that no one is necessarily right. Some just seem to be more so than others. I'm hardly putting this out as the end all be all explanation for eternity. To me, it's utterly ridiculous to think we disappear when we die completely as, even at our most base form, atoms, we are energy. The soul as its often described, can be considered the energy we return to as when we die. The soul's been the object of obsession for humanity for as long as we've been on Earth. Yet it's not scientific tests that can call out to the supernatural, asking for rational evidence of something that goes beyond the norm we're used to, is a rather...interesting request.
Looking beyond this existence...is a narrow form of existence? But the belief that we turn to dust and that's that is open minded?
Well that's the thing. My belief isn't based on faith. It's what I believe in sure, but my faith in it is hardly relevant, nor is my hope relevant. So the scenarios you put out, being rich and getting Mjolnir, are just hope. My belief is apart from that. It's not my hope that shapes the workings of the afterlife, it's just how it was intended to be by a being far greater than you or me or anyone else. *shrug*
I don't see where the surprise comes from. You're just a man, one who like me, probably has the hope that we will continue after this life. It just doesn't make sense to you is all. That's something you'll have to figure out on your own, or not since belief doesn't have much to do with it in my opinion.
It's affected by the negative and positive actions we do in this life. Energy, or our soul, is filled with what we put in it. Negative actions don't lead to anything good, but can be balanced out through good, just like the universe always seeks to balance itself, so do we.
Asking for firm evidence of karmic existence though is like me asking you to please confirm that we cease to exist after death. It's beyond our mortal selves.
What priests have you talked to? That's a rather moderate and friendly answer. I was told I was going to hell since I was in 4th grade. That I needed saving just like the murderers, rapists and other scum of the world. Because we are essentially bad people in the Christian belief, that are saved only through faith. This is fact for that religion.
Thanks, it had been a while since I'd searched bible verses.
We can't. And no, either you're not grasping it or I did a poor job of describing what I meant. The point was to describe how poor that line of reasoning was, not that I believe it.
---------------------------
No, no, of course not we're just expressing our thoughts. Wouldn't be any fun if we were pushovers about it ha.
Well I can only speak for myself because I only know the negative forces that have suppressed my natural purpose.
After I die I will awaken 10 years younger at a paramount point in my life, where my decisions can allow me to succeed, whereas the schemers fail - as opposed to what will happen in this life if I die the way it's most likely I'm going to die, where everybody loses despite unfathomable karma in my favor to stack against the odds that have somehow been axed by thousands of years of unnatural machinations.
Perhaps I'll succeed in this life, and they'll not have intervened in the next, if I can make anything happen. It depends on what's inside me, on who I am. When discover myself, I will know whether or not I have what it takes to make anything possible. Whether or not that karma is as strong as I believe it is.

Looking at you.
I love the wave analogy. A wave is on the surface of the ocean. It exists for a time then it is gone. Where did it go? Back into the ocean where it has always been.

Please explain to me how that works. For example, the Borg are connected with a type of carrier wave. It is fiction, but there is an attempt to make it real world. How do you make your idea "real world"?

The way I see things is that thoughts and our consciousness are made up of sub atomic particles. They are their own carrier wave, so to speak, and meld as they choose to within the Godhead. This theory of thoughts creating paticles came from Noetic Sciences. I offer this as a possibility and speculation only.
In this theory, where do the rest of the other, non-thinking lifeforms come in to play? And are these subatomic particles found throughout the universe--regardless of the presence of consciousness--or are they of a type that's only created when thought and consciousnesses occurs? And if it's the latter, what is the impetus for thought and consciousnesses?
