Share, the surface and the depth are same, the mind conceptualises the depth, that is the illusion.

Anything one does not remember is the same experience as if it were never there. What is the need to fine tune what 'sort' of memory it is? Life is now, though it is nice to remember now and then. ---In [email protected], <turquoiseb@...> wrote : From: salyavin808 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2014 1:24 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: What are the *benefits* of believing in God? ---In [email protected], <turquoiseb@...> wrote : Even though I happen to suspect that there may be something to the reincarnation thang, I see no need to provide "proof" of it because it's just a belief, and I don't much give a shit what others believe about my beliefs. As I've stated here several times, I won't know whether it's an accurate belief until I kick the bucket, and if the folks who believe that we just wink out like a light bulb turned off are right, I won't even be around to be disappointed. So I figure mine is a "no down sides" belief. That said, I would never presume to try to sell it to anyone else or feel the need to "defend" it. IT'S JUST A BELIEF. I think the world would be a better place if more people felt similarly about their beliefs. :-) I have no real sympathy for it but the stories of the children that do remember things are fascinating. The Scottish boy who thought he lived on an island was taken there and behaved very oddly when they took him into what he thought was his house. It was quite upsetting to watch. I can see why anyone would have a job doubting his story. Lots of people wanted to get all James Randi on it and that would probably be impossible given the unpredictability and rarity of the phenomenon, not to mention it being potentially unfair on a three year old. I always look for the ways in which things can't work but remain curious as it's one of those things that I'd take to be sure-fire proof that we don't know anything about what's going on here at all. And that would be cool indeed. Indeed. I simply cannot comprehend those who feel threatened when something challenges their beliefs. I've had things I had believed in blown out of the water so many times that I've actually come to enjoy it. Forget being reborn -- having to drop whatever you believed in before and start all over again is the real "new start."
