Dear Ham,
You asked 6 Apr 2005 20:13:17 -0400 (my CAPITALS):
'Suppose that at your death you are faced with HAVING TO make a
voluntary choice between the following two options:
Option 1 (Nothingness): You may choose that, effective immediately, your
proprietary awareness, including all memory of your life-experience will be
permanently erased. Your "consciousness-of-self" will, in effect, return to
the nothingness from whence you came.
Option 2 (Somethingness): You may choose "psychic continuity" in a form or
mode that is presently incomprehensible to you and that can only be revealed
by choosing it beforehand.
Which would you choose, and why?'
I wouldn't voluntary answer a question on this subject that offers me
options that are formulated as if they exclude each other... But if I have
to...
I would choose option 2, because of the 'form or mode that is presently
incomprehensible to you'. I wouldn't want to claim to know what comes after
death.
If allowed to construct my own option, I would first say that my
understanding of these matters DOES allow me state an expection of what to
find after death, even though I don't know anything with any kind of
certainty. As I understand my 'consciousness-of-self' to be only a mask for
a deeper 'wholeness' that includes everyone and everything, I expect to be
reduced to this 'deeper self' after death.
I.e.: I will return to wholeness rather than nothingness. 'I' will
spiritually continue provided that I identifies (!) with the right 'self'.
Also see my text www.antenna.nl/wim.nusselder/schrijfsels/genesis%203.html ,
which I quoted before on this list.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
