Your intentions are noble. You seek to help. A Gold star for that. Reality, though, has a way of kicking us in the bum which kind of awakens us to the possibility that we can't Control All the Circuits. The circuits are bigger than who we think "I am" or would like to become. thanks and blessings friend p

When you say "when your body goes you ain't coming back," who or what is the "you" you refer to there? I don't understand what you are saying your experience is. Your body is gone right now? Where did it go? Your mind is left here, but your body is gone?

Maybe you meant it is your opinion, rather than your experience? |

I didn't say when I leave my body as aKarma is claiming in this statement.. Quote:
No-one alive can know if there is life after death. Those who believe they know are using their mind-body-feelings to communicate their experience. Those who believe they communicate with the dead are using their mind-body-feelings to communicate the communication. How could any of this happen without the human being a human-being? All these concepts of becoming 'who we really are' takes away the focus from 'who we really are' right now. |

How do you have the experience of someone not coming back? How does one have an experience of a universal negative occurrence? |

I still don't understand the fundamental statement. Bodies don't leave. The soul and life leaves the body, the body stays and decomposes in the ground or is otherwise disposed of. It made more sense when I thought Maguru meant the mind left the body...well...it made equally little sense. Bodies don't and can't come or go, its our consciousness in the body that can be transferred.

I believe consciousness is a natural phenomena born of humanity and existing only within humanity. The whole human-being (mind, body, feelings) contain the whole consciousness. What possible reason could there be for this consciousness to exist in another realm speculated to be for example: oneness/source/god/essence/vibration/energy? |

I have to try to understand what you are saying here, I am a bit slow...What you are saying is that if consciousness were independent of the body, we would be conscious when we are unconscious, for example, from some sort of accident, is this right? Well, I don't know that, honestly, but why do you ask that question instead of how I can close my eyes and move my mind to something that doesn't exist in my immediate external surroundings and be there consciously in my mind despite the fact that my body is still in the same geographical location and doesn't move. If body and awareness were dependent, wouldn't your body go wherever you put your consciousness as much as you indicate that your mind goes where your body goes if you are in an accident that renders you unconscious (if that's what you mean)? Incidentally, even in such a situation, your body has not gone anywhere, it still remains wherever it was thrown after it was struck by a car. What goes away from your body is your awareness. Where does it go? I don't know... That explains my confusion about what you are saying then I guess...at least partly.

Maybe you mean: what possible evidence could there be that this might be so? There is plenty of evidence, but perhaps you wouldn't be convinced by it, because you're willing to be convinced only by human science and physics, which are not yet advanced enough to determine answers to questions like this. That's fine. (oh, boy, I wonder how long it will take for someone to declare that that kind of thinking is delusional and dangerous! |

Have you no personal experiences, instead of just others' philosophies, from which to draw your conclusions? |

| Would you kindly clarify what 'kind of thinking' are you actually referring to here? Did you agree with Angela's opinion that my thinking was 'delusional and dangerous' or was it your opinion that Angela was describing her own thinking, as was my opinion? |

| Quote:
Sorry about that confusion! I certainly don't think your opinions are dangerous or delusional. |

| A study of physics would clear up your speculation. And you change this concept into a reality through meditation.
