@chompythebeast ok. Yeah that's all true. You're right I probably shouldn't have said 'grow up' like that. It's a bit petty that's true. I guess some of us just have a gut feeling that there's more than just this life, and I sometimes assume everyone has that feeling but perhaps not. So that's why for me it's very natural to believe in a spiritual reality. That plus the plethora of personal reported experiences by multitudes of people through the years of various forms of contact was supposedly spiritual beings, claims being able to see other realities, of near death experiences, and so on. Now it stands to reason that not all of them are true, perhaps most of them are just misinterpretations of feelings, but I don't believe they're all false. I do think some of them are real. As to how many and which ones who knows? But I have heard some very compelling personal testimony that caused me to believe the person who was speaking
But yeah you're right I mean there's no scientific proof of anything non-physical obviously, at least not of an afterlife or spiritual matters. I just feel pretty convinced that there is a spiritual reality, that our awareness comes not just from the fact we are physically alive but there's something that goes beyond the brain that animates us. A consciousness or a soul if you will. Anyhow there's a material reality and for some of us there's an immaterial reality and I won't know until obviously I kick the bucket if any of my assumptions are correct. I've always believed in the non-physical, I've just always been one of those people. I've just always been comfortable believing in a higher power out there. It's impossible to prove but it's just what I think is true. I'm very comfortable believing that souls continue after the death of the physical body. As for how long I really don't know. A trillion years? Who can say? There's a lot we just don't know. For instance, what existed before the universe? I find that an unanswerable question. If there are higher powers, which religion is right? Another unanswerable question. If there are higher Powers why do they allow evil and traumatic experiences? Another unanswerable question. Different religions give their different answers. Yeah I mean it's a lot to think about for sure. I believe that ghosts may exist, and I do believe most of the reports I hear about NDEs. I look forward to seeing what's on the other side when this life has passed me by. I hope that people who do harm to others in this life who have awareness of what they are doing are held accountable on the other side. I also think there's a strong possibility that multiple lives may exist. I do wonder why, if there is a spiritual reality and our loved ones continue on, why don't they routinely come back and talk to us just to give us comfort and to let us know that they're still out there and that the love is still there? I think that's a really good question because most people have lost somebody that they've cared about and most don't report being able to communicate with them again, although I have heard some instances where people claim they have been able to. I actually find the spiritual/new age field very fascinating. I'm sure there's a lot of hucksterism in it but I try to be discerning and keep my BS meter up. But I do think there's something to it. It could all be nonsense I admit that but then again maybe its not. It's unsatisfying but I think we all have to admit that we just don't know. And since there's no way to really verify any of the claims from practitioners from the new age or spiritual or religous sector, I guess you just have to go with your gut when it comes to that stuff. So I do. I base a lot on my gut feelings and instincts. Which is not to say logical analysis doesn't matter but you know, both are important.
