Life beyond death
|
|
| Previously, we repeated the underlying common sense principle that our collective awareness- our thoughts and feelings that make us who we are- continues to exist well after the death of our bodies. | ||
| We also repeated the understanding that if this were not the case, then the UCA (Unique Collective Awareness) that is the Universe would also cease to exist. | ||
| While this may go some way towards settling any fears you may have concerning the question of life beyond death it remains principally an argument of Logos, not an argument that does not provide any method of proof to the existence of life beyond death. | ||
| 18.27.1 | Looking for proof | |
| A frequent human desire is to find irrefutable proof as to the existence of life beyond death. Certainly, we see many elaborate ceremonies existing as part of religions around the world seeking just that- to provide some tangible means of proof. People who claim to be "spiritual mediums" still command potentially big incomes as thousands of followers seek evidence that loved ones or others continue in some way after death. | ||
| In major toy stores in Western Countries, Widjie Boards are often on sale for those wanting to "try spiritual contact at home." | ||
| On television and in movies, stories about Ghosts and Angels command strong interest. | ||
| Yet for all the "evidence" and counter claims of fraud and public manipulation there remains no irrefutable proof. | ||
| 18.27.2 | A simple reflection that provides proof of life after death | |
| Quite possibly, our search for external proof has resulted in us ignoring a simple, yet profound reflection of proof of life after death that we can self verify, namely the location and existence of our own thoughts and dreams. | ||
| You know you think and dream. If you happen to go to a medical specialist, the electrical impulses of your thoughts and dreams can be measured. Yet, where are your thoughts and dreams located? | ||
| Your first answer might be "inside my head". Certainly, science can provide proof of brainwave activity- but what of daydream thoughts of previous holidays or visions of the future? A dream or thought is more than just an electrical impulse- it has dimension, characters, movement, emotion. It exists. | ||
| In other words, we can prove that our brains work and we can prove that there is a relationship between our brainwaves and certain thought patterns- yet we have never proved irrefutably the location of the thought- that is where the dimension of our thought exists. | ||
| When we consider that which we identify as our self, it is not our physical neural systems but our unique collective thoughts and dreams, our unique collective awareness- something that we know exists, because we know we think and therefore exist, but something we cannot prove as having physical existence. | ||
| Now when we consider life after death, we are really asking "does this non-physical-non locational part of ourselves- the part that calls itself "I" the part that is unique collective awareness continue after the physical shell ceases to function?" | ||
| When considered in this light, the tradition of considering thoughts and dreams as non-physical except when discussing death and life beyond death seems absurd. Only the body is physical. Only our bodies die, not that which we call I. | ||
| 18.27.3 | Turning our perspective around | |
| Possibly, the problem of Western cultures originates back to the period of Plato to Aristotle when the base arguments of reality began to take shape. | ||
| We are taught that what we see, what we touch is real and what we think and what we feel is unreal- is subjective. | ||
| Yet everything we have discussed within the context of UCA is the complete opposite. It is the physical, our bodies, our eyes, the world around that is the dream with our thoughts and dreams being a direct connection to the real- the collective dreamer- the collective observer. | ||
| If we stop for a moment and consider the world for what it is- an incredibly elaborate dream, providing the underpinning of overall existence, then the question of life after death should cease to ever be an issue again and the question of what we do now to prepare for our next journey of life should be seen as more important. | ||
| The proof of life after death has always been under our noses- it is our thoughts, memories and our dreams. | ||
