Proof that I'm immortal

[Shantideva]

Boru, the energy that comprises me is all that I am. I understand your alternate thread title though, and that makes sense too.

I didn't say that I just "fathomed" it today, I think it's special that humans can fathom it at all.

We are stardust.

And sure, in some ways eternal. I mean, not really because that's not how I define "me", but at the same time it's a nice thought for those of us that don't buy into woo. Bits of us were here before and will be after, ripples in the pond, that sort of thing.

Word!

But neither would you look at those same atoms of water trapped as ice in the South pole and say that's part of the river Nile because it once flowed through it thousands of years ago.

My point is that those atoms are part of the river while it makes up the persistent pattern.

But those atoms were part of the river Nile...I'm not sure that the water analogy will ever fit a persistent pattern.

Boru, as soon as you kill me the universe will change, if you reduce me with acid it will change even more. I'm only me in a pretty cosmic sense...if it holds no significance to you then so be it.
