Time & eternity 2: Afterlife questions

When you understand that eternity is a single moment of infinite awareness, what light does this shed on the question "Where do we go when we die?" Heaven? Reincarnation? Or are those concepts misdirecting us from a more profound truth?

You talk about god/infinite awareness as 'wondering', or more basic than that, as 'thinking' really. I'm confused here. Awareness, or consciousness is separate from the mind, isn't it? Isn't the mind a prerequisite for thinking?

I have taken a fairly high dose of LSD and had what I experience to be as existence with non-thought, or very little thought. I 'lost' 2-3 hours of time sitting awake on my couch. It was like ceasing to exist without actually casing to exist. I'm very confused.

@Exception88 You can't bottle the infinite inside the finite. Or, shall we say, the mind can't hold the totality of you (which is the whole universe).

I honestly find it so amazing that you are THIS insightful without any psychedelic experience typically induced by LSD or Psilocybin.

I've experienced all these things you talk about on a heavy trip, I lost my ego, I lost the concept of time (it literally stood still, sense of the infinite) it's very real, as is telepathy and Astral projection. Amazing how you are so insightful. Thanks for sharing.

@cloudskipa Thanks for the kind words.

facinating video! rather inspirational in a way to know that some people prefer to swim upstream. what about our bodies though if we are this conciousness etc etc how are our specific bodies designed and assigned to us? family trees and ancestory? are we more connected with "family" consciences more than others if we are all one? lol stupid question but worth a thought! p.s ur looking rather dishy in this particular video! xxx

[darrylsloan]

Not stupid questions at all. Individual consciousness does seem to have particular ties with family. Twins in particular are often said to be connected in mysterious ways.

As for how our bodies are assigned, I think a lot of it's just automatic based on inherited genetics, but at the same time we are engaging in a process of conscious evolution. There's a lot to consider, and a lot we can only theorise about.

I don't believe in god and religious stuffs since they was all invented by religions.

There is only 3 things I concern about: Why are we here in the first place; for what purpose?; and where should we go from now?

So anyone here has an adequate answer for these question.

I have a better answer. And yes I believe the same things as you do, but differently. We are all PART of God. Not all God. That's why we feel guilty for bad things, and that's why God says to treat others the way YOU would want to be treated... because you're treating yourself however you're treating others. I believe in God, and I believe in all that but I'm not religious, I'm into reality. Religion is mind control. God made humans, but they made religion. Christianity is nowhere in the Bible.
