Life After Death
May 17, 2008 7:53 am
So-called life after physical death is promoted far too heavily in the world. It’s like some religious institutions are inadvertently promoting suicide. They paint pictures of constant struggles,strife,and hardships which will never end until you die to go to a place where there is “everlasting happiness”…where all your wants and needs are finally fulfilled. But since you don’t get til you die some decide to skip the living part and go straight to the dying part.
Another point on this is in order to get the benefits of death you must live a good life. But if you were convinced that there is no good in life with all its hardships,then how can you live a good life?
The best life you have is right NOW. What else do you know…the past? It is already over with while the future has not been experienced yet. Although,life may at times present extreme difficulties it also can present extreme happiness and the best time to get it is also right NOW. You get it by entering the state of mind or mood/mode that contains it…just act like you’re already there.
SIDENOTE: This reminds of the old “fake it til you make it” advice along with the “act like you know” saying.
Think back when you were a child playing pretend. You stepped into and entered the same thoughts,feelings,and actions of whoever you pretended to be. You became that person! But in order to do it fully you had to sort of forget the person you know as yourself,you had to die from that life in order to live the life of whom you pretended to be.
The death spoken of is the symbolic death of a personality characterized by thoughts,feelings,and actions that no longer serve you in a positive manner. Only when this dies can a new life filled with everlasting happiness be achieved. In with the new,out with the old.
SIDENOTE: No two lives can exist within the same body.
Remember this is NOT the physical death of your whole being in order to live a better life so suicide is definitely out of the question regardless of how hard life may be. And if you truly believe the absolute best life is after your physical death,then why don’t you all just commit mass suicide……
