What Happens When You Die?

[godnotgod]

I agree. Here is something I wrote a while back on another thread...

To see this reality is to be free of both birth and death. This is what Chopra means when he says: 'we return to where we always are' about what happens after death. It is transcendence of our conditioned view of life, wherein the eyes are opened to see things as they are, rather than how conditioning tells us they are, and how mere appearances fool the mind of Reason. It is spiritual awakening. This is the path the Buddha experienced when he awoke. He called it his Middle Path to distinguish it from the two extreme views of the Eternalists and the Materialists who conflicted over the question of death and the afterlife during his time as well.

Still playing it up to the hilt, I see. Good acting!

Sense? Is pretense an act of Reason or just jolly good fun?

I will pretend to be amused

 

[Guitar's Cry]

You melt back into the Universe.

 

[godnotgod]

I will pretend to be amused

Is it serious pretense?

Chopra is charlatan. He is in it to make money. If you cannot recognize that then it is too bad for you.

Now that may or may not be true. But if it is, then a charlatan will have gaping holes in his presentation. Can you point out one of them?

Does what Chopra say conflict with your reference? If so, how? Just provide an example or two.

You melt back into the Universe.

You cannot become any more a part of the universe than you already are. In fact, you are already (and always have been) 100% integrated with the universe, and at no time have you ever been separated from it, not even for one zillionth of a nano-second.

There 'you' are using that word 'you' again.....

I smell hypocrisy.

All through this thread 'you' insist that 'I' don't.

And heaven is greater....I believe it.

'Your' integration may seem sufficient for 'you'.

But 'you' don't exist.

So did you find "I" yet? Or is it a horse of a different color?

We are not in Kansas......Toto.

 

[godnotgod]

We are not in Kansas......Toto.

Maybe your "I" is hiding out in Kansas, seducing nuns. Did you ever consider THAT? Huh?

'I' don't have a split personality.

How about 'you'?

 

[godnotgod]

'I' don't have a split personality.

Sounds like you may have located this "I" you speak of. Can you provide a description?

 

[Thief]

Just ahead of 'you'.

 

[godnotgod]

Just ahead of 'you'.

That's not a description.

What is "I"?

 

[atanu]

Yes, that is the question "Whence the I?"

But, if one cannot locate origin of "I" mentally, does not mean that it is a fiction. Rather one can be a seer of the rise of "I".

It cannot be located because it does not exist.

Is it fiction to the seer?

So now 'you' are fictional?
