Is it Impossible to Imagine NonExistence?
We Suspect it is impossible.
While painting butterflies, one dreary, rainy day, our shadows became mesmerized with the rythmic movement of forest trees dancing in the rainy breeze. It’s not often we get along.
We found ourself wondering about the great mondo-beyondo should there be such a thing, and our possible role in the picture as we refer to ourself as an unbeliever in such fantasies.
We poopoo the idea on its surface and yet, the closer humanity becomes to artificial intelligence and technology the more convinced we become that our value is experimental. Who is to say what is skin and bones to us is not alien experimental technology in development of artificial intelligence.
Shadows continue to ask
- What are thoughts?
- Why are memories?
- What is the Mondo Beyondo, the Great Unknown
We agree the statistics of actual, physical life after death are zero to none without heroic methods from others. Therefor we dared imagine our own non-existence in time.
We concentrated to follow the tunnel in our minds eye as far as to view eternety…
and then we hear our shadows rumbling…
- Why is is always a tunnel?
- Can’t it be a tree lined road?
- a viking ship would be nice with funeral pyre…
We discovered, try as we might, that it is impossible to imagine our own nonexistence.
Of course we could not because Control releases random memories to distract to prevent Chaos from convincing the Self to do something stupid and actually concententrate ourselves to death? How would that work? It’s self preservation in action.
Non-Existance, Impossible to Comprehend, We May Only Accept.
This one human flaw or should we say god’s programming “quirk” probably explains a lot about why 85% of people believe a god, great spirit, karma exists.
And boy howdy, do we believe. There are over 4,000 distinct religious sects on the planet, from adherents of one individual to millions.
The big five major relilgions of Earth are Christianity, Islam, Buddhist, Hinduism and Judaism
- C, I & J – Abrahamic beliefs Heaven after death.
- B & H – Dharmic beliefs life recycles through Karma
We generally agree it’s turtles all the way down because we, like everyone else on this planet, truly have no idea
Reincarnation seems attractive, but all those rules….
Do this, not that or what you do in this life will affect the next.
- Who says, BTW? Who came back and ratted out God?
- Where do these people come up with this stuff?
- Why should or does what one does in this life affects the next?
At present there are over 8 billion people on the planet. Statistics show that at least 85% of people believe in some form of spirituality or God. That’s about 7 billion people all asking for favors which occurs to us that’s a lot of noise for the powers-what-be, should they exist.
In addition to humans, there exists hundreds of trillions of animals, birds, insects with which to deal as potential re-treds for idle souls, so we imagine the rule makers are probably quite busy with requests.
As a rule hating freethinker, and in possession of a personality others might considered physically lazy by some standards, although we prefer the term efficient…’
We also understand we are running headlong into Tarnation if any of these above-mentioned religious rules actually apply.
Take Charge
Before we find ourself playing One-Armed tennis in Tarnation with some Over Active Gung-Ho type for eternity…
We thought we’d, do a little spiritual brown-nosing and help out a bit by doing a bit of research to gain a general idea of acceptable forms with which we could take and be comfortable over the next few go arounds, just to help out the Gods a bit
What exists now in our life that somewhat mirrors our life style now that might comfortably affect our next possible one?
