Then you will know you are not that which you see in the mirror, ie your body alone. The body is but the coat one wears to exist in this dimension. When old and withered it is dicarded as an old coat. The real you is that which animates the body. But it is ones ego that dominates (the persona created in this life), the other is pretty dormant. Often resulting in the internal battle of wills controlling the body.
If within the existance of the Universe spanning billions of years with millions of various forms of civilisations. If the sum total of ones life is to: Eat, Shit, Piss, F*ck and then die, if you ask me its one hellova joke on man as one big f*cking waste of time.
Is there life after death? Simple really, either only 2 possibilities exist:
1. You die and find you still exist in some form. (Etheric)
2. You die and theres nothing there - you wont even know your dead.
So the question you have to ask yourself, ok on number 2, but frakk what if its number 1?
Interesting thoughts Volvi, many years ago a mate gave me a book called Illusions by Richard Bach the same author off Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Itâ€
s a short read and one I would highly recommend, basically the idea is we are all living out a type of artificial life thatâ€
s hidden from us as part of the experience.
These lives are a sort of entertainment that we direct as we go along, moving from one event to another until the final scene when the game ends.
Really itâ€
s another, “We are what we think†type parables but still a good read with the first part hand written as a journal which sets the scene for the story.
I have left a lot of the really good bits of the book out so as not to taint the experience and hopefully given enough away to catch your interest, happy reading

i have have other expeiriences...too involved for here.
esp for cynics
My mom work for 35 years as a nurse and began her career in Geriatrics or Aged Care which is its new politically correct name and like your self have heard so many stories, to many to post, that any reasonable person would be wise to set aside some consideration for the afterlife.
I personally have never experience any kind of supernatural experience though nearly all my closest family have.
I donâ€
t know why though I do feel a bit left out as I could think of nothing better than to finally see and confront the dead for some serious question answer time, maybe that the reason they keep away
Sorry cheeky, back to the point, If the stories I have heard of had come from anywhere else I wouldnâ€
t have given them much credit but there a bit hard to ignore when the source is so close to home.
As one of my favourite poets Alexei Sayle once said “Itâ€
s a funny old world†and it is, so much we donâ€
t know and take for granted.
Anyway, Iâ€
d like to share one of my own favourite saying “Anyone who says they have found the answer to the meaning of life has usually misunderstood the questionâ€
Kindest Regards
