Whether it be through another identity, the identity you have now, or some other possibility or incomprehensible state? Or do you thinks its lights out, game over?
While I have my faith, I don’t hold it to be absolute.
To say I know what lay beyond death – if anything – for certain, would be an all-out lie.
what is this white light?
is it our chakras
is it our consciousness?
flashes of your life going way too fast to see before your eyes, culminating into a great white nothingness…
see colors. What do you think?
Colors include red, blue, green, etc.
Wavelengths of light are wavelengths of light.
I don’t see how the brain could ever see a "color."
Colors do not exist physically.
They could not be seen by a physical body.
Signals in the brain caused by different wavelengths of light, do occur.
But when would these signals ever become "colors". They can only be signals.
Our consciousnesses see colors as the result of these signals.
well what we know as color is esentially wave lengths that are absorbed through our eyes into our cones which reaches our brain which is then deciferred into color.
I went to the woods and picked some mushrooms and made some mushroom salad with lettuce and tomatoes and ate it with some water. After about an hour something strange happened. I think I have reached nirvana. I have been reading about buddhism, and this must be it. I have totally lost my ego and my consciousness is of pure light. I have lost all my negative feelings. Should I start preaching now that I am a Buddha?
“Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.”
if you believe in hell?
also, do we take our light with us to heaven in different levels of brightness – are we even guarenteed to have a light consciousness after death?
You are on the path, the direction you take is simply forward under the burden of concern and regard.
Stay true for yourself and burn bright for right now.
There is a big difference between Religion and Spirituality.
If God is conscious between alpha and omega how could He have decided it without redundancy?
ENOUGH WITH YOUR PHILOSOPHY
if space is infinite (s) and gravity is space unoccupied by light (v) then v = s/e and everything we percieve is actually only at a distance by means of the dimension of time and originates from one place just a different time of course this only makes sense from a point of view that all things have consciousness. im trying to comprehend it but since nothing… its too big for my puny mind. does gravity create energy?
No, you’ve got a somewhat backwards understanding of this scenario. Gravity is not space which is unoccupied by light. I dont even know what the formula v=s/e is or where you got it. Gravity is a curvature of spacetime. Gravity is caused by matter, and also by energy. When a source of gravity is in a position, it bends space and time around it, and when space curves, we interpret it as an acceleration. This is why everything accelerates at the same rate near earth’s surface.
Gravity doesn’t create energy, it gives the potential for energy. Nothing can create energy. All the energy that was, is, and ever will be already exists. What gravity actually does, is create a kind of energy vortex, where you need energy to escape its pull, which is why it is actually defined as "negative energy".
Cheers.
Because… well I was miserable all night, then altered my consciousness slightly and now see the light a little…
Yup, I always see things different after a pint.
Two scenarios:
An Atheist dies and he simply ceases to exist. His consciousness blips out like a light and there is no more.
A Theist dies and he is immediately absorbed into the heart of God, not different and individual anymore, without separate identity.
Is this a comforting thought, either way, or is it basically alarming?
Is it our individuality we hold onto, that wherever we end up, we will still be ourselves?
How do you feel about this?
Do you absolutely require an afterlife, a Heaven, or would you be satisfied with losing your identity and the continuing story of some sort of life?
It never crosses my mind because I have discovered that whenever I try to imagine ‘not being’ there I am imagining not being.
‘Fear’ requires something that is not real in order to manifest. In Reality there is no fear. It Is. What is there to fear in that? It’s very nature is Joy and Bliss. Having discovered this only my ego/mind/body experience fear. I can disregard it because I know its source to be unreal.
I do not require an afterlife. After what? Life is. It has no opposite. The opposite of birth is death. The opposite of death is birth. Life Is what is happening in the ever constant play of birth and death.
Namaste’
And that we are all individual representations of that consciousness? So, if you travelled 13 billion light years in one direction, does this mean you could continue for another 13 billion lightyears in the same direction, since there you would be at the centre again?
The Universe has no known boundaries and we haven’t reached so far.
If you travel 13 billion light years to any direction, you willbe still at the observable center of Universe.
Bt probably not at it’s real center.
