Troy Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 It is really hard to craft a good short story. I though this one was fascinating. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer1 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Great video. I started to flip right past it as I thought it may have been a cartoon clip that you and your young daughter like to watch together, lol. Much of it just reiterates the same ideas I've said about the After Life on this site but were pretty much ignored or questioned. I guess it sounds better or more credulous coming from a White man to some people....lol. Although I'm not sure about the "living through every human who existed" part. I do believe there is a certain individualism or separateness among most humans where you live YOUR particular set of lives and they live theirs. As I said, already knew much of what was talked about in the video but what really made it great for me was the ending of it when the Universe was called a big EGG for us to develop in and eventually move on from for further growth. That really did it because then I understood the term I've been hearing for decades about the COSMIC EGG. I'm curious as to what @ProfD thinks of this video and it's message....lol.

I think the video is a good illustration of my belief that humans should take better care of each other in the space we exist. My comedic takeaway from the video is that humans are aliens who time travel and take on different hosts. Interestingly, while the spirit form could exist anywhere throughout the universe, the earth seems to be the only place it can take on a physical being. Cool video. it won't but could turn religion upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you've been here much longer than that....lol. I want to say around 5 years or so for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted October 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 I just like the arc of the story. I'm not suggesting any of it is actually true @Pioneer1, though it is interesting to ponder the idea. If everyone believed it to be true maybe we would behave like it and the world would be a better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps..... But with some people, if they didn't believe anyone ever died permanently but re-incarnated over and over again.....they'd REALLY become more murderous and barbaric. Can you imagine how murder convictions would go if all judged were convinced of re-incarnation? Killing someone would carry the same penalty as probably running over a foot or a punch in the face.....lol. Just a temporary offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a blast chopping it up with you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 @Pioneer1 I would have guessed the good professor was here longer too. I guess fondness breeds familiarity. A few claim they do, but no one really remembers their past lives. So for all practical purposes death is death. But to your point maybe we are so murderous now because we believe our victims will be going to heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevdove Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Nice video. If I have been in existence in past lives, I am glad I have no memory of it especially due to the horrors of this universe. I would never want to know if I was like HItler! If I were a child that was killed off, then, I am happy that God put me back in action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynique Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 @Troy. Gee, thanks for posting that Egg video! You must've known that it would captivate my interest at this point in my life. I don't know why I took so long to get around to watching it. Its message was very Intriguing . As I mentioned in another post, I have been gravitating toward an existentialist mind set, a philosophical approach that makes it easy to become compatible the "I know that I know nothing" tenet, so I am open to every possibility. Contemplating that Death may be all about returning to square one via of an embryo trying to make it to the birth canal is interesting and of course my ego is seduced by the idea of becoming a god. All of this is more inspiring than just returning to dust. I've never been an adventurous person but maybe next time around I'll develop a taste for it. Hopefully during one of these incarnations I'll also mellow with age. Oh, well. Whatever. With the awful state of this world, there's no great reason to overstay my welcome here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I don't like the thought of reincarnation especially considering what history has already shown us. I'm perfectly fine with believing *I* will return to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to get into contact with my past lives to gain the knowledge and wisdom I learned in them to benefit me in THIS one and FUTURE ones.

That's easy to answer when you consider the crap that is going on in this world, generally speaking. Maybe the future will be better, but even if I was doing better in a past life, the grand scheme makes it not worth knowing, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you wouldn't want to know about your past lives even if there was important information in them that you could learn that may help you TODAY? I'd love to have access to the knowledge I've accumulated over my many lives. I'm sure I wouldn't want to re-experience everything, but having access to the knowledge......absolutely.
