Hi Ham:
There is no choice to be made here as we all continue to move along our Somethingness path. People who cultivate and reach higher levels of understanding can see their past lives and know this. Find a true Zen master if you have doubts. By cultivating you learn to "think" at the speed of light but with no words and your energy wasting worries become VERY clear.
With great compassion,
Agent B

Subject: Re: MD Access to Quality
Hi, All:
As a first step towards a general survey, and to satisfy my curiosity
concerning the MD group, I'd like you all to give me an honest answer to the
hypothetical question I've already posed to Matt and Ant. (After reading
Matt's note to Anthony, I was going to retitle the "subject line", but
decided that "Access to Quality" isn't a bad title at all for the subject at
hand.)
In case you didn't see this dual-choice question in my previous postings,
here it is.
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?
This isn't a trick question, and I won't hold you accountable for how you
answer, or who said what. But it gets to what I think is the "essential
core" of both
religion and philosophy. Hopefully it will lend some "immanence" to the
issues I've recently been trying to address.
Couple of things you might want to mull over before giving me your answer
...
1) You'll notice that I didn't use the word "immortality". (That was
intentional.)
2) When I posed this challenge to a close friend (a Biochemistry
professor), his response was: "I would have to choose Option One because
Option Two requires an uninformed opinion." But then, he's both an
empiricist and a stoic.)
Thanks for your assistance.
Ham
