By doing this something within you tell you to go ahead in search for peace of mind.
Where else this search would lead you then?
Not "peace of mind" -- Satisfaction and increased curiosity.
Satisfaction lead to peace of mind and so the appeasement of curiosity.
You never thought about that Astreja, did you?
Quote:2) What about eternal life.
How do you know that?
How do you know that once you leave your dead body and your consciousness see the real McCoy you
are not interested anymore?
Quote:Every night in the dreamless phase of sleep I am unconscious, totally unaware of surroundings or self. The "real McCoy" is conspicuous by its absence.
That is exactly how I imagine death -- Timeless insentience.
Wrong again Astreja.
As far as your body is alive the consciousness is stuck inside your body so when your body sleep your consciousness is also stuck in that slumber.
In this way you come to the conclusion that once you die it will be the same.
NDEs already show that that is not the case.
Once your physical body die your consciousness separate and the real I will be as awake as you never
dream about being free from the "chains" that force it to be stuck inside a body.
But don't worry too much Astreja.
Everything will get more and more clear as you make some real progress.
