Different realm, different rules apply..do you know how long your dreams last?
Certainly not forever, I tell you =)

Logic, at least, should be constant through ever realm. One logical fact is that if the universe is infinite, and it is, then nothing will last forever, because new events dont stop happening.

Are you seriously trying to compare this universe with a proposed ethereal existance? Physical events create time , if an ethereal existance had no physical reality why should it be governed by the physical world? If you can imagine another realm, surely your imagination can invent existance without time. Time is for mortal combat.

Time is required by the mind, I can only imagine and existance without time if I am an exception to that timelessness.

Its for you to decide, Im not going to try and convince you. I just dont understand your statement. Can you imagine an existance without time or not?

So you could not invent one ? that sounds very unimaginative.

I like my life. It's not perfect but I work on it. It's my life-work. Unique but nothing spectaculair. But it keeps me going. I perceive time by times with-out regularity. Psychoses (very mildly)

I think it's worth investigating. I'll see about After-Life. Any suggestions ?

I can imagine, but my imagination is limited by my finite nature, so naturally my imaginings of any afterlife are flawed.

I only know that you should not want to wait till the after-life to learn u'r lessons. It's a bit boeddhist. Aim to be a better Human now. If there is a Thing like Final Judgement you probably do better. Old christianity in western Europe is destroyed by Popes, Kings and Emperors.

Imaging this after life is your invention and time is of no consequence. It might occur to you, eventually, that your desires satisfied, you might want to look further, to understand your circumstance, your opportunities. Life itself can be just that, as your body ages. Youthful desires wane and you look for subtle understandings. Who knows what awaits us but what an adventure, if it is true. Communion with a unified humanity knowing ourselves but knowing each other and our adventures. It may be why we exist to experience and then share these experiences. The flavours of history, of amazing stories that we only read about but now know at first hand...That's my heaven my invention.

For me this Forum is super. I know the web is much bigger but I see enough on my own way. It's mainly details anyway.

Dating, games & sex should be done Young, Enthousiastic !

I love this Forum because Faceboox are personal friends (handshake)
On the Forum I feel less restricted to talk about God, Believes, Opinions, Humanity, failing System and Positive Thoughts about the Future. I do not want to Think about details of an possible After-Life. May-be you keep experiencing the same over and over again...Dr. Who might know, not me !

I can imagine an existence where nothing moves or changes except me. As I, myself, change, I do not think we could call it timeless, or could we?

Certainly. Perhaps he will be reborn as a ice-breathing dragon in a medieval world, then accidentaly kill someone's nice forest fire, rather than making it bigger, all due to thinking that dragons probally breath fire.

After Life is little else then that which has been imagined about a possiblity that has more appeal than it's alternative.

Having no means by which to know of such a thing helped me decide it was best to think of this as my only life. In other words I try never to waste any of that which I have being concerned with that which I have no evidence to support.

Add to that the funny thought that IF I am wrong - how much better it's going to be for me to discover then it will be for those who believe otherwise to discover I am correct Smile

I think your right. To learn we have means, To combine concepts we need logic or another form of organisation. No Veto, No from the people.

I believe there is an afterlife, but not that its nature can be determined. So, all I know is "death is not the end".

So in a situation of danger I wont panic as much as I would if death was the end =)
