T2K Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Years ago while being transported to a worksite with a couple of whippersnappers I got tired of their discussion of Heaven and Hell. I finally asked how either of them knew for certain that we were not already dead and in Hell. End of discussion. And yes, I was ready for retirement.

Moderators dtel Posted March 31, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2018 That's funny, but I think if it were heaven we wouldn't be getting this old this fast ? I tend to believe, or at least not so skeptical with stories like this or many things anymore. The reason is because I seen something about 23 years ago that's not supposed to exist in normal thinking. It was a ghost, I seen it 12' from me and for about 5 seconds as clear as could be. Since then I question some things much less than before I seen it. When you see something like this it makes you realize there are things we just don't know or understand and it changes the way you think. There is no question, I know what I seen, it was not one of those maby it could have been this or that. There are some things we don't have a clue about why or how. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I have seen and heard things from the spirit world, not sure if they were from heaven or hell, this life or the afterlife or if religion has anything to do with it at all, inter-dimensional maybe? All I can say is I believe there is something out there beyond us. Thanks for sharing the article, I'm about half way through it very interesting!

Mallette Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Finally completed it. Personally, wouldn't be surprised if downloading our consciousness to such a VR system before physical death doesn't happen before we actually solve aging. I have experienced OBE's, both as a child and as an adult. I have also spoken with others that have had them. It's hard to control one's panic at being outside the body, and the normal response is to "crash" back into the body in a panic. He's certainly dead on about VR being something society will have a very hard time adjusting to. If you think gamers disappear for hours now, just what until VR is the norm. Some will prefer it to "reality." But, as the article suggests, it all may be VR anyway. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Deep. I'm to shallow for this. Not only am I a figment of your imagination, I am a figment of my own imagination. And I won't buy purple rain either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Not to thread crap, but I think this is a good thread to expand on with similar directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I suspect his predictions, in the long run, don't even begin to describe the changes in store for us. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
