faith holding society back in general
Not true.
Actually, having faith doesn't necessarily mean you believe in a God. Truth be told, you shouldn't place faith in any God. You place faith in YOURSELF. Because you are a part of source. This is what LOA and the secret is about, when you really, truly, DEEP-DOWN place faith in yourself, the universe makes things work for you. This has to be experienced , there is no scientific experiment to prove this. The experience will be your proof.
The truth behind ALL religion is that we ARE god. http://www.iawwai.com/TruthBehindReligion.htm
As for the original post, I do believe in afterlife. You could call me a scientific pantheist that believes in an afterlife. There's too much evidence that points to this. I won't post any evidence, it's really not worth my time. It's your job to get proof if you really want it. Why would I try and prove something to you, that you won't believe?. Counter-productive isn't it?Research it yourself.
But, this thread isn't about evidence anyway.
Back to the OP, I believe that lucid dreams are the afterlife. Your beliefs will shape what you experience. That's why practicing lucidity during waking life is important. If you deep-down believe in Buddha or Jesus or The flying spaghetti monster, or a black void that is what will manifest for you. Why go that route when you can do anything that you want?
I believe above waking life, there are dreams which are essentially an infinite pool of thoughts. A dream-scape. Then above that is the universal consciousness. Completely at one with everything and there are no thoughts at all. Just complete awareness.
Someone said there can't be dreams without a brain..well there are a lot of reported experiences where people have been brain dead ( no brain activity ) for over 30 minutes and have still had sensory perception. But it cannot be proven because it's subjective. So objectively, a scientist only sees brain activity or he doesn't. But again, it's back to belief. Skeptics won't believe that, no matter how much scientific evidence is posted. Fear.
Do you know what would happen if the 6 o'clock news came on and the top story was that God was proven, or that there is an afterlife. I wouldn't even want to be there to see the chaos ensue. This stuff isn't meant to be proven.
As far as humans being small insignificant creatures on a microscopic universe. People need to stop the acting and start being their true-self. Then you'll see the magic happen. You have no idea the potential you really have. But this is an inner-journey and you must take the initiative and do it yourself. No one can convince you, no one can provide you with proof. It's up to you to experience/believe all of this. You have to start by working on yourself. Bring out that inner-peace, that childhood happiness. It's sad as hell looking at everyone being a smiling depressive.
Skeptics have it backwards, we aren't afraid of death..that's the whole point. You are afraid of LIFE.
You say you believe that we're just erased from existence when we die. But people show their true identity during their last moments of life. And most people are full of fear.
DO NOT wait until your last moments of life to be your true self. Be your true self, now, and every day. Bring out that inner-child, the real you, while at the same time use the adult logical mind. Shit seriously starts to happen.
Damn, I think I went off on a rant.
