Of course there is an Afterlife.. since this stage is of significance
if it were to be a matter of going back to Alpha, then it would be
utterly useless..so something significant is taking place.. life is
something given..it cannot come from nothing.. and it is not a
quantifiable thing.. and this addresses the problem of immortality
since it is not quantifiable its existance is perpetual..because this
is a matter of the soul, a person dies and is not fodder or
phenomena..instead that which is not phenomena survives because it is
not broken down into compounds.. it also addresses my main concern,
the problem of Hell.. which of course I fear most rationally... in
this case fear Is the most rational response.. lucky if your soul
would become ice and would melt to fall between the cracks like drops
of water..this is a story called No Exit.. one may look at the clock
in vain.. there are sofas there but there just to mock you as you look
at the clock.. I'm serious.. in Latin soul means psyche and is
represented by the butterfly.. where in the center of it is the
insect..so what is this connection between man and the insect? The
study of the word lead me to a contrary definition.. Having
transcended in thought, I can only think of that which is not
grotesque of the human body.. the sublime element works in a much
organic way.. physical consciousness is purely organic. Having risen
in thought, one sees man in a higher perspective where one is not
gross anatomy.. between God and the Devil, man stands in the middle..
Because of the problem of Duality, if there is a God there too is the
Devil..or as the Japanese say, where there is Chojin there too is
Kyoto..The deposit from God which is sin is the Devil, but sin without
God is impossible..it is absurd.. so man's nature is correlative to
the nature of God.
