Written 1200 years ago, if they got it wrong would these people still be practicing their faith and disciplines.
Anyway no-one here truly has an answer as we are all currently alive, and meaningless I am so sad for your lack of any belief other than such a negative one. I hope that something positive and not so meaningless comes along to give you something to feel happy about.

That's what I believe too. I have never heard of anything beyond Heaven.
Things in the book took me by surprise. But, for the most part, it sounds logical. It covers all the different religious beliefs, and even some figures I've heard described in my paranormal thread.
I thought it was a fantastic read. Do I believe it all? I don't know. Something to think about.

I'm glad that you are somewhat open to understanding things beyond your physical existence. It is a good beginning. But don't stop. Keep researching, expand your awareness, and continue figuring out the meaning of life. Flow with the River of Life, meaning to always transcend your current paradigm. Go beyond the Bible, beyond science (because all science does is study the Physical), beyond religion, beyond spiritual, beyond books, beyond all Earthly ideals, and even beyond yourself. One day, you will understand what I mean. But for now, just Flow with the River of Life. Don't struggle with the River (like most of society), Flow with it.

Hello,
I just wanted to say that I agree with you 100% about reincarnation.
I've been blessed enough to remember most of my past lives, some good, very few not so good, but still it makes me the soul I am today.
Also I find your writing style quite lovely, you should consider writing a book.

I quit going to church and started my own personal quest to find out for myself what the truth is.
I have since learned the truth (for my path). And I am "flowing with the stream", as you put it (see my avatar mood).
Still, I cannot deny the experience I had at 10 years old. I cannot deny Jesus and parts of the Bible, but I found out there is soooooo much more to it that the church is not telling us.
Thank you for your post.

What about atheists? Continual reincarnation until their application no longer reads "undecided"? Or is there a special realm of pure torment for those who have the audacity to reject theism?edit on 19-8-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
