This will offend some people. All I ask is that you read it neutrally and if you choose to comment, question the belief itself by asking real questions about what its made of instead of attacking me. I'll probably expand more on it as I have more time and to field serious questions. Because that's what this is, a serious discussion.
And to the furthering of that step, I reserve the right to have those replies that do not intend for serious and neutral discussion be removed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I can't accept that this is it. That we are just a quirk of nature, that our conscious thought fades away when out lives are done. That the point of life is nothing. But I also can't accept that there is a god. And by god I mean a supreme deity pulling everyone's strings.
So here's a couple of thoughts on just what this life is.
1] What are we? I think we are simply constructs made of flesh. Our bodies wear down and then break down. No repairing them. But what about our conscious minds? What are they?
2] The mind in, in my opinion, a form of energy. It exists, following the Law of Conservation of Energy (refered to as CoE from now on). The human brain is a container for it and over so many years, it has developed for the mind within to more efficiently use the construct.
But if it follows CoE, then what happens to it once this construct is beyond repair?
3] The mind has to still exist, with all of our coherant thoughts still part of it. Our memories, beliefs, it all exists as part of this energy. So where is this energy? Not in the Lifestream. I hope.
4] I have two theories as to where this energy goes. The first is easily offensive. Consider your mind. You're probably of average intelligence, statistically. But you know there are people with higher intelligences. And also people with lower intelligences. Let's also assume that at the beginning of your time in this construct, your mind is a blank slate.
Where does this mind energy come from? The theory is that its a giant melting pot of sorts. What made us individuals is removed from the mind after death and the remainder is added to this pot. Then with the birth of a new construct, a mind is created for the construct. But there is a finite source to cycle. What happens when we begin to overpopulate this plant with constructs, all of them needing a mind?
Mentally retarded children. What would normally constitute a mind has to be taken from everyone else's. One scoop of sugar from everyone's container and everntually you'll create your own. But it's not always enough. So instead of making the minds progressively stupider, we compile all the lack of a mind into one construct, a retarded child, whom the other constructs will hopefully cull before it takes up the resources. Thus we keep with the CoE.
So there's the relation. As overpopulation increases so too do the numbers of the 'special'. This also explains the progressing stupidity of the human race.
Back to the start of this theory. Keeping in mind CoE, what about our individuality, what makes us us? Its been removed from the initial mind energy we started with, but it too has to go somewhere. Here's where the second theory comes in.
5] Keeping in mind what I said above, what if there is an astral plane, a different dimension from our own. Like an overlay of our world almost. The individuality mind energy goes here where it is stored. Stored? Yes. What if there are a number of astral beings on that plane, living a life somewhat semblance to our own. They have each been to this planet, and possibly even others, on multiple occasions to live this sort of life, to become a different sort of individual, like we roleplayers do with our characters (for the most part).
Immortal beings of energy, living many individual lives using the constructs of the worlds, created by the planet itself. Again, it keeps with CoE.
6] Maybe we are all just characters in a role play. Someone is playing me. Someone is playing you. Someone is playing that guy down the street who brings his dog to piss on your front yard every morning and evening. I don't know.
And to the furthering of that step, I reserve the right to have those replies that do not intend for serious and neutral discussion be removed.
