Prescriptions not Predictions? [ If you were to stick your mystics neck out then what from your understanding of life would you say will happen to me when my time here is over? ]
If I were to stick my neck out? Huh ! Thought I had done my share of that. However, you need a fortune teller not a mystic. I know nothing about my tomorrow let alone yours. My field of interest has been prescriptions for living life here not predictions for when I am not here. What would you like to happen when you are not here? The act of leaving here is what I call DEAD. Ceasing to exist is what I call Extinction. I have never known extinction. All I have known is being here and leaving here. So, what do you know? One hundred and ten percent of my interest has always been about how to live a life, and it still is. If I did not exist then I would not have to think about that. So, no problems. I would hazard a guess that the same would apply to you. My understanding about not being here has not altered since 1964. Nor have my feelings about not being here altered since then. But my feelings about being here have altered since then. My interest is in LIFE, not NOT LIFE. However, if you are constructed in much the same way as me then when you are not here, then two parts of your being will continue to exist and one part will not. But in order to find out what NOT existing is like then you had best find somebody who does not exist and ask them. As for me then I have only ever known existing. The sum of my interest (and experience) is and always has been, in existing. Existing can be very good, not too bad, and bloody horrible; depending on various factors. So, I looked into those factors. But not existing could not even be boring could it. And it could hardly contain any variations on that theme. But, your time to be NOT HERE will come soon enough. So you will find out then. As did I. I have related what it was like when I was not here. Nothing can ever alter that; for what was done was done. And what was done was fine by me. However, the tip which I would give to you would be to study life, and living it; not NOT LIFE. Extinction can never ever be anything more than a theory. But life and living it is no theory, it is a fact. As for predictions then it does not look as though there is going to be a great deal of sunshine here today. But I have known worse; and there is much to do which does not need sunshine for the doing of it. The sun cometh up and it goes down again. I arose from Eternity and went back to Eternity. And I am from Eternity for the purpose of living it here. How about you? Nice to know what you are talking about, isn't it. I meet so many who don't. Dick Richardson
