Next topic.

Death as not an inevitable end, but rather a continuation of an altered state of being and/or a beginning of a new chapter of existence.

Discuss?

That's an awfully deep subject.

followvoices February 12 2010, 16:58:07 UTC

I feel that it is relevant to our situation.

13sugars February 12 2010, 16:59:56 UTC

Considering the circumstances?

...

It'd be nice to think that something happens after we die. I am a priest, I should believe in heaven after all.

But may I play devils advocate?

followvoices February 12 2010, 19:39:58 UTC

Of course.

What exactly do you mean, Pardner?

followvoices February 12 2010, 19:37:29 UTC

What happens when you die?

Not the physical. Hair falls out, flesh rots. Bloating. Eventual breakdown.

The mental.

in_texas February 13 2010, 04:43:08 UTC

That's not a very nice picture to paint.

Do you miss your brother?

Death is part of a cycle.

When a human dies, they enter the Netherworld--or not, as it may be the case. Some are afraid we will destroy them, and wander the world as ghosts weighed down with memories and unable to be reincarnated. But we cannot help those that do not want us to.

Some depart the Netherworld immediately, others linger on. The process of enlightenment does not have a set time, and is different for each ghost.

When a soul rises above their mortal memories, they cross the Sanzu River for judgment--and from there, they are reincarnated into their next life.

The thought is more comforting than not.

It is how things are. Life would not exist without death.

Opposites.

Do you mean here or otherwise?

[voice] followvoices February 12 2010, 19:32:59 UTC

Laws are laws because they apply everywhere.

[voice!] medeating February 13 2010, 04:37:08 UTC

I thought death would be like sleeping, before coming here.

[she sounds a little unsure, but this is one topic she doesn't mind elaborating on]

[voice!] followvoices February 14 2010, 01:19:07 UTC

That's not uncommon. We put the familiar onto things we can't know.

Sleep is nice.

Interesting subject, at least.

[voice] followvoices February 12 2010, 19:32:26 UTC

Refusing to answer.

[voice] eyesofgeass February 13 2010, 15:10:31 UTC

I believe it isn't a refusal, but rather that I am not quite certain how to.

[ Since, ha ha... Yeah. Dead is pretty much what awaits him. He doesn't want an afterlife. ]

[voice] followvoices February 14 2010, 01:20:02 UTC

"I don't know", that's an answer in it's own right.
