You eat and eat until you are perfectly full and then eat about half of a remarkable dessert. It's a meal you would brag about to family and friends.
It was wonderful because it was finite. It had value because it didn't last forever. You were able to enjoy it because the food itself has a finite shelf life. It won't be this tasty a month from now. You are able to bask in it's freshness.
Now imagine that instead of finishing your wonderful meal and walking away, you are now forced to continue eating. You can never leave the restaurant. You must stay for all eternity.
It's the finite nature of life that gives our lives such a wonderful experience. You should be thankful that it doesn't last forever.
How can you possibly eat if you haven t got a body?
However you will be able to live in a state of total bliss according to me.
That is also food but food of a total different nature.
Food for the consciousness so to speak.
The same type of food that junkies try to get at any cost through a mental masturbation or chemical induced.
The natural way however is the way to go and I am sure that one day even atheists will agree with me.
Rik, consciousness requires a body too.
Bliss is a biochemical reaction that happens in the brain. We can chemically induce it.
All of that requires a body, a brain, chemicals, etc.
Think of unconsciousness.
How do you determine if you are unconscious or if you're dead ?
Answer: If you were unconscious, you wake up and someone tells you that you were unconscious.
Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result
