Hi Dad,

Quote
Life is one and it is materialistic and in which we may cognitively perceive light and darkness, awareness and dreams.

Death is one and it is immaterial and in which we are no more.

There is great confusion between the concept of life and the concept of birth.
There is great confusion between the concept of death and the concept of transformation.


I'm just wondering...In regards to spirituality, isn't an out-of-body experience an event where "the essence of who you really are" leaves the body for a short time? Does that prove we don't need a body or are such experiences questionable at best? According to physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed. In addition, IIRC, if you decide to split an atom in half and keep doing it, you would find that there is no end to the process. You could keep doing it forever. There is no point in which an atom simply disappears as you keep cutting it in half. It is simply reshaped or maybe becomes smaller and smaller. Thus, the concept of something being no more is kind of questionable if you look at it from this perspective. Perhaps there is a part of us that doesn't die on a deeper level?


Thanks.
