Hi Laurence. I'm not big on societal dictations that curtail individual freedoms, or proselytizing from clueless ideological adherents myself. I reckon we'll either find out, or we won't be existent... so then we won't find out that there was nothing to find out. Got to live life for life itself while it lasts, not for ambiguous expectations of afterlife. Thanks for the blessing. Every little bit helps.
Well, Scott, they might actually be bigger, but it sucks that I've got to die to find out for sure! In the meantime I'll enjoy the other conscious entities like yourself that make life worthwhile. All the things that society told me were important now seem like meaningless chatter, whether competitive aquisition or religious fundamentalism - its all the same winner/loser mentality. I'm starting my own Church Of Appreciation and making you the first recipient of my appreciation blessing.
Thanks, Rhonda. I agree. If both parties were to show the interest in hearing out the other, then both parties would be off to a good start with each other.
Excellent editing here. You are so good at bringing images to your thoughts in these vids. Gets the point across well. When we first meet people we should let them do most of the talking and encourage them to do so.
True. I've been reading a book about consciousness that instead of viewing it as an artifact of brain activity, describes it as the real source of who we are. It's an interesting notion, much like the religionist's idea of soul, but without the need for a particular God. If that notion is true, then it doesn't matter what exterior others might possess. Real respect, freedom from bias, and the honest expression of love is from consciousness to consciousness.
I'm at a loss for words, floppypoo...

Hello Laurence. The mechanics may be in the physical world, but the intricacies of the substance could very well seem bigger than mechanics alone.

Thanks a bunch, Karen. I'm trying to do my pathetic best to keep you entertained. 8-)
