what's so "all possibilities" about reading signs, and "helpful to
know the signs" and having a "Guide"? what if all of the Hindu
scriptures and Buddhist tracts and Christian records are incorrect?
what if they don't work for you when you die? What if they were true
for some, and aren't for you? what if its an entirely different and
incomprehensible paradigm for you when you die? what then? what you
describe for me sounds like a lot of boundaries and fear, no matter
who's religion is doing the describing. I'll wait and see, thank
you; no guide necessary, or wanted.
