It's kind of like solipsistic philosophy, that nothing else exists and it's all in our heads. I often wonder what will come next. As a believer in reincarnation, I feel I'll go on, but wonder how or where.Alectahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861936603422014353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325736525748701193.post-41608460538296362262010-11-20T21:13:37.388-08:002010-11-20T21:13:37.388-08:00Religion...interesting topic (I'm also an Aspi...Religion...interesting topic (I'm also an Aspie, BTW, just so ya know). I honestly have no idea whether I'm "religious" or not. I can DEFINITELY understand how it wouldn't be logical to follow something that hasn't been (and probably won't be) scientifically proven. All the same, though, it's just so darn depressing to think that THIS is the only life we have!! :( Why are we here then? Are we just supposed to be an arbitrary collection of atoms and nothing more?! <br /><br />Here's my personal take on the whole thing. Life is just one big dream. A dream that is so real that we have fooled ourselves into thinking that there is a "real" and "fake" for everything, when really (in my opinion) there isn't. No black or white, no up or down, no north, south, east, or west, no alive or dead, no day or night, etc. Everything just IS. We humans are such demanding, curious creatures that we HAD to make it so that we created the way we view our world. No other creature does - perhaps some in a similar manner to us, but certainly not the same! <br /><br />Sometimes this discrimination between objects works to our advantage, but other times it just creates chaos - which is what life is - chaos. That and boredom. We just create entertainment out of it. Think about it. As babies, we don't want to come out of the womb, and at old age, we're not ready to face what could become of us. It's probably just another "womb" - that is, something that we think will be horrible beyond belief, but which actually provides us with relief once we go through with it. No, I don't believe in a heaven (and CERTAINLY not a hell!) But can easily picture me just realizing all this is just one big long dream when my time comes. Either that, or a belief similar to Nirvana, in which death is basically a void, but a void that we are proud to face because by the time we reach death we'll probably be too tired of all the drama that goes on in peoples' lives. A lack of sound, vision, touch, smell, and taste also means a lack of drama, chaos, and boredom ;)Spencer!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17586658412821540644noreply@blogger.com
