MessageHello Steven:
If I am asleep, and you are awake, I don't have the awareness you have.
Thus the part of the lifeforce that is me is not the same as the part of
the lifeforce that is you. Right?
****************
How would you know?
Is there any awareness of "the part that is me" after death?
And if not, can that be changed?
I think these are reasonable questions to ask.
*****************************************
Why is this important, who is this important to? Is it just your ego, which is incapable of understanding a non-dual state? An ego or intellect that any theory can never satisfy it?
This is why--at least as of now--I tend to agree more
with Michael Winn's view of the afterlife, as he's providing
some kind of map of what he believes happens to the
individual. I don't yet see a map sourcing from your philosophy--maybe
I missed it--which is why I feel it to be incomplete. If there
is a map, please clarify as I'm not seeing one currently.
********************************
There is no mapping of afterlife, there is no theoretical explanation of it.
Which is a good thing, as speculation, imagination and theories is not what taoist cultivation is about, not some new age / atlantean channeling taoist hybrid theory.
Mapping our this life seems to be challenging enough for most people and they will create all kinds of things they think are important to avoid with the here and now and the reality of their life.
Does a baby worry about death? After life? Why?
