  1. I like the way you think. I have the same feelings towards death and also had a grandmother than passed due to cancer.

  2. ***** Even if it turns out that consciousness ceases at the moment of death, which I don't believe to be the case, the oposite of continuum is non-existence. Non-being must feel, for lack of a better word, like the aeons the universe has been in existence before we came around. I think we would be so lucky if it finished in non-being rather than reincarnating back into this joy vs. pain of a roller-coaster ride we call life.

  3. ***** Nicely stated, mate.

  4. Silver Mirai Indeed, no one knows the truth. You and I are not only part of the universe, but we are the universe, and some people seem to label things into an inventory of fragmentation. But the mind is all that can be known to exist. It's the only truth that seems to be self-evident. It's an awareness of now or what some call solopism. Problem is there's a dichotomy between objectivism and solopism. But to assert that some kind of reality exists independant of awareness is an affirmation that does require evidence (faith). It's kind of crazy when you think about it but the burdeon of proof lies in objectivism. In my opinion, that's the strongest case showing why we'll keep coming back here, or some other place in the universe, eternally, or at least until your consciousness evolves into a higher vibrational state and you become pure awareness. But now I'm just getting all hippy dippy.

  5. Silver Mirai I think we're on the same page. I think reality is totally different than what we think. I always remember a Terence McKenna quote, "reality is stranger than we can suppose." Meaning that reality isn't only strange, it's stranger than you can imagine.
