A friend here re-tells hearing Charlie Lutes getting a phone call from a despondent friend threatening suicide.
Charlie tells him "Before you do that, let me tell you what is going to happen". "With our bodies gone the soul has no buffer but for the raw suffering and pain it is experiencing". (picture of hell) "You could do that, its an option" The advantage of a human body is that it buffers pain & suffering. Without a body & nervous system the soul is exposed to the totality of the pain and suffering." etc. The caller reconsidered. I always wondered why everyone took Charlie Lutes so seriously. He could read an esoteric book as well as the next guy, and was better than most at regurgitating the information. I once had an argument with a guy who had insisted that Charlie was enlightened because he had been meditating for 15 years.
