I received this in an email and thought I'll share.
LIFE AND DEATH
Once upon a time I knew life was real and reality was obvious but as years went by and my body and mind began to mature I became aware that some things were not reality but illusions. I knew the difference then between reality and illusion. Time passed and my mind was exposed to more complex perceptions of life, death and reality. As I considered t
hese ideas and read more about what the realities of existence may be, I found myself questioning the so called experts on these subjects. This led me to the realization that I could no longer blindly believe the “facts” presented to me in the published volumes of knowledge about the realities of life in the universe, in fact I found, after deep thought and consideration of what was presented, that the experts simply do not have a clue about what true reality is. It seems t
o me that the more the scientists learn the less they actually know. Are we real or we are simply the imaginings of some greater being. I myself do not know. If life is an illusion then by extension death is also. The question I was pondering is the age old quest of philosophical minds to determine if this means we can never really die because we never existed. Isn’t
that great news? “Death does not exist” what a headline! You don’t die; the imaginer has simply decided to stop imagining your story? Give the whole concept a spin around your brain and it seems to make perfect sense except that the imaginer apparently continues to imagine your corpse in its resting place. That would seem to be an unnecessary and illogical use of energy.
Apparently this thought fragment has killed itself, or did it ever really exist at all?
