Perhaps if you wash your hair tonight the sun won't come up, keep thinking that way and you'll go crazy.<br /><br />As I said, belief is a weak instinct. You can believe that only by not eating (or being nice to people) are you gonna get to the next level, but once you get hungry, you (most people) will eat, or defend your own at other's expense. Ergo, he next level doesn't matter as much as your body.vercingetorixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540163819283237855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080434060238215294.post-63572107530495566942007-01-25T08:20:00.000-08:002007-01-25T08:20:00.000-08:00What if when you die what happens is that your brain stops, but your consciousness qua non-physical thingamajig migrates to the next ahem [field]? All I'm saying is, show me the non-evidence, youse doubting Thomases. Perhaps our access to the adjacent [plane] is wholly dependent on our belief in it? In such a scenario, religion would have more than a psycho-sociological function as you justifiably suggest...belief being the only pathway to the next [level]. Anyway, it is up to the individual to cover his-her own ass, or conversely, to leave it exposed. Good luck!Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07653661954127313810noreply@blogger.com
