I'd like to recommend that all of you who are interested in this subject read a book called Sum by David Eagleman. It's short , only 110 pages. Many of you could read it in an afternoon. Has some very interesting takes on the afterlife. Many of you may have heard of one of his theories (to paraphrase): We have three deaths: 1. When we actually die,2. When we are buried, and3. When our names are uttered for the last time. Think about that. If you've done anything in which your name ends up in print or for which you are frequently cited or if you're exceptionally prolific, you may be hanging around for a long time after the first two deaths.

I have to say the thought of an after life as a massless being with caves as a vehicle to allow interdementional exploration of the cosmos to be quite delightful and fantastical.Thanks. -------- Original message --------From: [email protected] Date:2014/06/20 1:51 PM (GMT-06:00) To: CaveTex Subject: [Texascavers] Caving in the afterlife A caver, who I have great respect for, recently posted something that subtly suggested there would be caving opportunities in the afterlife. Just for fun, let's look at 6 options. 1 ). Our soul has a mass equivalent to pi times the number of electrons in our soul. or, 2 ). Our soul has 0.000000 nanograms of mass. or 3 ). Our soul is transferred to a biological host in another dimension of time and space. or, 4 ). Traditional reincarnation or 5 ). Return to Earth as a human or 6 ). Our souls actually gain mass. Then there is the geology of any caves in Heaven or Hell. Limestone or karst does not seem to be logical. Maybe we get R&R trips to solid places like planets ? Or maybe caves are energy conduits like The Stargate Wormhole ? Did I miss any other possibility ? David Locklear
