What is your Dream?

[LHX]

[Icky train of thought]

Imagine you die and there's an afterlife and there's the machine, again, still.

kinda emphasizes the need to look after it now --

"Cf:" = "Cross Reference".

You insist that the universe has a bent for maltreating it's sentients?  Mind, we're still assuming reincarnation happens at all in this particular "punch line".  What if there is no correct belief but that which you personally hold, and the power of conviction is the true benefit of any belief system?

[LMNO]

I think you're reading more into what I wrote than was intended.

Silly asked what if, if there was an afterlife, if the Machine,Ñ¢ (which is itself a metaphor) still existed?

I linked this up with the Cosmic Giggle, and mentioned that it would be a hell of a punchline.  Because, no one ever said that we had to either A) be in on the joke, or B) think it was funny.



I'm not saying I believe that, I'm just making a suggestion.

[AFK]

Honestly whether or not there is an afterlife doesn't concern me so much.  Like LHX said, just taking care of the now is the important bit.  I won't fret too much over what I will have no control over.  Of course, my Christian parents would argue otherwise.

when you take a look at what the possible differences could be in the 'afterlife', there doesnt seem to be much cause for concern - except for the uncomfortable transition phase


lessons are lessons

there is only one everything

except for the uncomfortable transition phase

I've always maintained that I have no fear of death. It's a slow painful leadup that bothers me. Hope it's nice, quick and, ideally, spectacular when it comes.

I reckon cancer. I've probably as good as ensured it by now. Although I wouldn't rule out drowning, I sorta court that one constantly. If it's terminal cancer I'd really like to blow myself up, right at the end. Not in a terrorist way, more along the lines of a fireworks display.
