Heaven on Earth? Repeatedly? Form your own paradise over and over again?

Feel like Hell? Get it RIGHT THIS TIME, DAMMIT!

What would Amitaba say? lol.

That is a beautifull thought and truth. Our thoughts are our deepest Vibrations Once you bring in the proper frequencies you repair your internal structure both spiritually and physically. To reincarnate is to start lifes quest over. Though another chance at life would be an adventure, My hope is to move to the next place where we are one step closer to source.

I have what some, I suppose, would be considered a rather "odd" thought: that reincarnation is a metaphor for something even more grand...that each of us is, and has been -- literally -- everyone else.

Oh well -- one man's odd is another's profound.

"Midnight Cowboy" author, James Leo Herlihy had a house in Key West. His front door had a peep-hole covered by a leather flap. On the flap he'd written, "God is at the door. Let's see what face he's wearing today."

Of course, I suppose a lot of my thoughts would be considered odd by many. I kind of like it that way...leads me to think I might be on to something.

Or you can look at it this way. We are very close to a point now where virtual worlds will be created in computers that are so real they are impossible to tell the difference between those and real life. We will reach a point where technology can take you for a ride on a "holo-deck" like star trek has or something of that nature where literally every smell, taste, feeling, and sight is so real there is absolutely no way to tell the difference between it and our real world.

You would be able to sit on the beach and feel the heat of the sun, feel the breeze and smell the scents, hear the seagulls and waves crashing, the chatter of people around you, feel the water immerse you and be awed by how the sound changes when you dunk your head, feel every bead of water drip from your skin as you exit, the breeze now colder. Feel the sand burn your feet as you search for your towel on the beach again. Experience the touch of your lover as they rub sun lotion on your skin and the emotions that flow with it. Run your hands through the sand and gaze amazed at each and every last little grain...there must zillions on that beach.......

All of these biophysical and chemical reactions in the body can be reproduced by electrical means, and this is already scientifically proven fact.

You would NEVER know the difference!!!!

With that in mind, it is possible that we are already experiencing ourselves subjectively in this manner, and simply can not realize we are in such a simulation because it's meant to be REAL!! Game and video technology is already very nearly at this point in the world we (think we) know.

Police officers acquitted for beating a 64 yr old man recently in New Orleans. In the words of their defense attorney "all he had to do was comply"....and they wouldn't have fractured his face.
