The End
Of course a famous Beatles song with the closing lyrics of the greatest rock band ever.
"And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make."
But, what really happens in the end? Does life really matter? Will God/the universe give you a better life? All conjecture, as none of you reading this are dead, are you?
It's an age-old question, What happens to us when we die? Religion's believe that if you're a true follower you magically go to heaven, or any version of heaven that exists in their religion. But, there's so much misunderstanding about what that truly means. Is our only purpose in life to play out a pre-ordained set of rules to return to where we came from? It seems weird to believe that our life is only our time here on earth and everything is dependent on our behavior here. So, what if you screw it up, you're sunk for eternity.
Having lived through two events in my life that should have killed me (hit by lightning, doctors said 90% of people would have died, and heart surgery where 6 out of 9 doctors thought I'd die on the table.) I have a very different interpretation than most, and in fact, I had a near-death experience in the first experience.
I'm not here to trash any religion, believe what works for you, but I am here to question, why? If all we do is live our lives the best we can and we're done, what's the point?
I, personally like Einstein's comment "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another," or what about what Aristotle said "(The)concept of the afterlife revolves around the idea that the soul continues to exist and function after the death of the body." Or maybe Plato "once the body dies, the soul goes to the "world of ideas", spends some time there in bliss, and then returns to this world in another mortal body."
Is that enough? I believe strongly that our essence our "soul" our "energy" never ceases to exist. We transform into something else.
The Hindu's have believed for over 3,000 years in reincarnation, that the soul goes on, and then returns to try again.
Currently, in our history, there's no scientific evidence to prove reincarnation or to dispute it. Many scientists believe it's plausible.
Now to quantum physics. Quantum physics believes in a theory that follows a "Many Worlds" approach Here are their ideas per AI;
"1. Many-Worlds Interpretation:
Quantum mechanics suggests that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured.
The Many-Worlds Interpretation extends this by proposing that when a measurement is made, the universe splits into multiple universes, each representing a different outcome.
For example, if a coin is flipped, in one universe it lands heads, and in another, it lands tails.
2. Quantum Immortality:
This theory suggests that if one were to experience a fatal event, in one universe they would die, but in another, they would survive.
Since consciousness is linked to the quantum realm, the theory posits that it would shift to the universe where the individual survives.
Therefore, from the individual's perspective, they would never experience death, as their consciousness would always exist in a universe where they survive.
3. Biocentrism:
This theory, while not directly related to quantum mechanics, also suggests that death may be an illusion.
Biocentrism proposes that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe, and what we perceive as death is just a transition of consciousness.
It suggests that consciousness exists outside of time and space, and therefore, it can persist even after physical death.
4. Quantum Suicide:
This is a thought experiment that explores the implications of the Many-Worlds Interpretation and quantum immortality.
It involves a hypothetical scenario where an individual performs a measurement that could result in death, and according to the theory, they would always survive in their own subjective experience.
5. Limitations and Criticisms:
While intriguing, quantum immortality is a theoretical concept and not a widely accepted scientific theory.
There is no empirical evidence to support the idea of consciousness shifting between universes.
The concept raises philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world."
But, we've already heard from the philosophers who believe much of the same thing. So, as quantum physics continues to grow and learn, will we have proof one day?
I believe the answer to that is "Yes", at some point science will be able to prove it.
I stand strongly in the belief that death is just a different phase of existence, and our "soul" continues on through eternity. We live in an ever-expanding universe, where there is still much to learn. Throughout the history of man, these ideas have traveled through time and continue in different forms today. Are you convinced? Believe what works for you, but I believe there's more for us to accomplish. We are pure energy, that's the only way we exist. Let's work together to change our world, or any other worlds we may be a part of. Together we can do anything, and by accessing the wisdom of the ancients and the scientists of day we are unstoppable.
Until next time,
Bill
Quote of the day "The end of man is only prophesied by men of destruction and greed. We are stronger than those words. Be the best person you can be, now and forever."
