Death isn't something to fear, it's just a cycle. |

I am warning you that the end of this video is very disturbing and chilling. This is a call from a man trapped in the south tower during the 9/11 attacks. |

I enjoyed the fact you quoted mythological characters to prove reincarnation. Your other evidence was something a monk said when under threat of death. |

fucking hell, i was ok until the end when he says "oh God, oh!" and damn tower collapses, shit that brought a tear to my eye, poor guy... |

Quite the contrary... you claim the lack of scientific empirical evidence of life after death as the proof your viewpoint is right. There's alot of truth in the mythos that you arbitrarily write off. Needless to say, I'm closer to the monk's viewpoint at this point in life so I know that death is cycle as much as you know you'll exhale your next breath... |

Ah. You have faith that there is reincarnation and nothing will change your stand-point on that. I however am taking the more logical thought-process of believing what facts I have instead of making wild assumptions. I think death to be the end until proven wrong. |

What I meant with the colt 45 example was, that even if I knew in 1 minute you'd shoot me in the head I'd have nothing to fear or worry about. I'd actually look forward to it in the sense you look forward to going to place you've never been before. Death doesn't mean the end. That's an absurdist assumption. You are here now and time is a human construct... that means you are here eternally... linear causality is a manmade construct to make sense of an otherwise paradoxical cyclical nature. |

I agree that there is the possibility of life after death. But so far all you have are assumptions. Science dictates that death is the end. Until you or anyone else can come up with any empirical proof beyond folklore and 'delving a little deeper into yourself' (the mystical equivalent to 'look over there!') then that is the view we should maintain. |

The body is the temple from which all perceptions are gained and experienced. I cannot empirically pass on anything to you which you yourself don't decide to strive for... |

Ah. One massive case of 'personal experience' in other words. |

ah but SolSkye,science may not be able to explain exactly how consciousness came about, but we do know you require a functioning brain to be conscious. Take out a mans frontal lobe and he will be without emotion of any kind, you have damaged his consciousness their. The brain is necessary for consciousness, when you die it rots away. I know you'd love to believe your life carries on forever, is those who are religious do, but there isn't much to support it. Also even if you are reincarnated, i assume you agree you would not keep your memories or who you are, so you would not know if you had been reincarnated. YOUR particular consciousness would be gone either way, i don't remember any former life's, do you? |

Perhaps include a transcript? I would find it far easier to simply read your thoughts that listen to you talking about them. |
|
In that case do a search on any of the multitude of threads I've written on this very topic... Perception Vs. Realty... |

Alright, I have no idea why you said that death isn't something to be afraid of, as it was relevant to the point I was making. It wasn't so much death as a 110 story building collapsing on a traumatized office worker after a jet slammed into the side of the building as a result of an unknown religious holy war. Really, I think you may have had that post saved to a word document before you decided you needed somewhere to copy+paste it. |

He would take a "colt 45 to the temple" happily enough. Though obviously it's easy enough for him to type that as a middle-class American sat at home on a computer. |
|
I don't find anything disturbing about that video really. He died relatively quickly and painlessly. |
|
He didn't jump out of a window. |

America deserved it as a people or as a government, AmazeO? |

Um you have the story completely wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A...4%90%E1%BB%A9c |

I don't really think so. Yeah, he did die, when he was crushed by 10000 tons of twisted steel, but read my post above to try and put yourself in his ordeal. I think one of the scariest things that could happen to me in a skyscraper is a plane crashing into the floors below me. I find it kind of sad that you don't feel bad for him when his last words were screaming OH GOD... OH-(line cuts dead) |
