When you die the body stops and decays and "life" as we call it ends with the death of the brain.

One has to deal with the marvellous reality rather than create a very dull unreality.
Yet our hearts have an electrical system, this energy could be our souls and this energy could go into the universe, this energy could manifest as our being, again nobody knows.

Once upon a time humans thought the Earth was flat, and yet we learnt that indeed it wasn't.

I think we should all keep an open mind as no-one knows for sure, i've had my fair share of experiences and i'd like to believe they are true.

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.


I like this quote, and i know it's from a movie but it indicates possibilities and potential.

No-one knows how deep the rabbit hole is and i believe science is in it's infancy, as humans we still have a lot to learn

If this is the case then what's the point in working, education etc.

We may as well live like animals and just procreate.

We are far too intelligent for there to be nothing, deep in my soul it tells me that there's something.

For how do they know this i meant to say, how do they know that people thought the Earth was flat/round, people in the very early years thought the Earth was flat, but as knowledge grew it was found that the Earth was round, for those that say it was a myth that people was believed to think the Earth was flat i ask, how do you know this, were you around to explore peoples beliefs at this time? No nobody was around, all we have to go on is what was written, and since there is very little to go on in the early years and i'm talking 3 BC, then we can't say that these people didn't believe the Earth was flat, just as we can't say what happens after death, because we just don't know.

So what were we when we were homo hablis then? Animals or more? Which stage of our eventual evolution from our primate ancestors did we gain this soul?

I have my own theory, one that i'm comfortable with, but i don't wish to share it for fear of being ridiculed.

There are many things that can't be explained, and no-one has all the answers, but all i will say is that, once when i was incredibly sad, i was transported to the stars, i was in the universe and the love that i felt was unbelievable, i thought to myself, if this is what it feels like to die, then i'm not afraid anymore, and this is from a person who has had an issue with death from age 16.

I know what i felt and i know this is where i will go when my time is up, so for me i will go on, just like Celine Dion says "My heart will go on"

The meaning of life is open to interpretation. Mine is to live it to the best of my ability because it's the only one I will get.

You are 1000% correct Ruby -

All civilisations which were the most enlightened for their time, believed that the Earth was flat at some point in their history, including the Iron and Bronze Age Near Eastern cultures (now the Middle East) until the Hellenistic period - 323 BC to 146 BC, India until c 100 BC, China until the 1600's and ancient Greece until 6 BC.

Even in the time of Columbus, it was only educated people who knew that the Earth was round a great majority in Europe still believed in a flat earth.

I've been to lots of mediums and they always get it wrong.

I must be very hard to read

I did go to one and she said....."who's Robert?"

I said....."he's my dad in law"

She replied......"Lynne's not happy with him....who's Lynne?"

"My mum in law" i said.

"she's just passed over hasn't she" she said.

"yes" i replied

"she's not happy with Robert.....he's not looking after his family, he's selfish!"

How true she was!
