Guest Gunner Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 most definitely, yes. Which is what makes it difficult, but not impossible. And, there is no need to fight the ego. Feed it from time to time, but ignorance is bliss. And we are quite ignorant, aren't we? :winky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Whatever you are smoking' date=' must be pretty good. :woot:[/quote'] Haha, you've actually hit upon the truth. Yes, you can try it too. Start with Salvia divinorum - Diviner's Sage - just to get an idea. But, the real deal is in Ayahuasca - The Vine of the Souls, DMT - The Spirit Molecule and much more. Or you can just meditate.

varun Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Don't you think there is also a certain element of uman ego involved when we ponder the question of the universe and our role in that? Absolutely. I never mentioned our role in the universe, as it seems so insignificant in the grand scheme of things.. Having said that, me, you, nikky, finey, mari, flamy, everyone on this earth, this computer, my desk all came from the same source, so from my that perspective, the human ego is justified in that we are all one, eternal, and infinite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varun Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nothing as deep as that Varun, Possibly the grave for a bit, then its heaven or hell. yeah, the thing i don't get about afterlife is how would one retain their memory if their brain is destroyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Because, the brain is not where the memory is. And there's also the Akashic Records (albthough, i'm not too convinced abt them right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley's Girl Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Everybody is raising good points for discussion. Lurker, I believe you are on a good track. Gotta love and leave you now. Have a funeral to attend early in the morning. Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineleg Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Or you can just meditate. Speaking of that, do any of you practice meditation on a regular basis? Is there a specific method you practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineleg Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Lurker - thanks for that info from Mahabharat - that was good to learn. Amazing the amount of profound thinking in our legendary Indian mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikred Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah' date=' the thing i don't get about afterlife is how would one retain their memory if their brain is destroyed[/quote'] hmmm......if the soul itself has that memory retaining capacity then what is the purpose of the brain? I never thought of it this way, interesting point Varun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory is not in the form of physical neurons. The soul doesn't have a physical memory, because the soul itself is not physical. And as for transference, experience is not a physical thing. It is information (without dimensions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varun Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Memory is not in the form of physical neurons. How would you explain loss of memory due to brain damage. The soul doesn't have a physical memory, because the soul itself is not physical. But everything we know is physical isn't it ? We live in a physical world. Thoughts and ideas (brain neurons), air (molecules), light (photons) is all physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no transferance anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
