It seems to be misunderstood that what 83CJ7 is proposing is not an afterlife but is a concept that we are beings existing in a very large number of universes simultaneously and if we cease to exist in this particular universe it does not mean we do not continue to exist in the others. There is no way to disprove this that I know and no way to prove it. Universes in close proximity are probably almost impossible to tell apart so a consciousness moving to a universe close by probably would not even be aware it was in a different universe. It is a lot more realistic proposal than the standard religious nonsense of souls and heavens, etc. but just as unprovable.


I'm glad someone kinda gets what I was suggesting. It was just something I was thinking about one day, not something that I have a "belief" in. The more that I thought about it, the more hellish it became though. A world where you live forever but everyone you know and love dies, including children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grand............................... :cry: Of course they are still alive, just not in your world.

^Hey you live in Missouri...so do I.


Anyway I can kind of relate in how your perception may be taken a little too serious and into the depths of scorn and ridicule . If there was another name for this forum, I'd either call it the Wild West or The Nuremberg Trial...:P

Nice to meet you.

Anyway I agree some of the regulars take things just a little too serious and in the extremes around here.

From my perspective, you'll die and with your attitude, you'll probably die very let down.


Heh heh... Try to make philosophy fun and look what happens!

Reality is subjective, objective reality we can only imagine, which makes it thus subjective.

As for why I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, reality is subjective. I cannot conceive of not existing in a pure sense, or visualize such a universe, because I am then the observer, the imaginer, the conceiver.

Should I cease, reality as I know it ceases, should I continue and something of me survive the transformation of death, then I didn't cease, and reality as I know it continues on.

I won't die disappointed unless I happen to be disappointed by something other than death at the time. Death is no more disappointing than life. They are both rather expected to happen no matter how much I procrastinate.


I understood the philosophy you're getting at. It's just that I'm the One so you can't really lay claim to that while I'm around. At least not effectively from where I'm standing. :P

Please learn how to quote.

Maybe after 2274 posts (11 per day) I will be able to quote correctly. Of course I have a real life so it may take me a little longer.

Yeah, because people who stoop as low as ad hominems totally have a life. :roll:

Anyway, to quote properly is a very easy thing to do, so I can only assume that you must be extremely busy with whatever it is you're doing in life that you are way too exhausted to do it properly. Really, we should be grateful that an extremely important person like you grace us with your presence on an internet forum.

It's not a hypothesis, just a "what if". Nor am I trying to make point. You're taking it too seriously.

If it was 'just for fun', you wouldn't claim that your idea is as good as anyone else's. Anyway, just admit that it's not as good and I'll leave you alone.

You can not prove that I don't have an ostrich in my bathroom. I feed him 17 year old Swedish boys for dinner.

Is this supposed to be an Argumentum ad Absurdum or something? Because I really don't get it.

Hey, I won't let Göring just walk out free, just like I won't comdemn you for horrible war crimes on no basis whatsoever.

I wonder what gets you so upset. The guy just posed a possibility of multiple universes. He didn't claim it was provable.

In regards to what?

In regards to death, that death is the irreversible termination of the biological functions that define a living organism seems the most likely explanation.

I agree, it is most likely. But assuming that we live in a continuum of multiple parallel universes that are interconnected and this body we perceive in this universe is merely a cross section of a larger number of universes also of four dimensions there is the very unlikely but not impossible situation that the consciousness we possess adheres to the part of us in another one of these interconnected universes. I see this as exceedingly doubtful but not impossible. What makes me suspicious of our existence in these familiar four dimensions id that I have not gotten (as I mentioned before at this site) an explanation of why we perceive time from moment to moment as we seem to proceed through time. This is a total mystery to me ad most people don't even seem to be aware of it. And that it offends you is one of the oddest reactions I have come across.

Yes, exactly. What war crimes? If I make no attempt to support my accusations, why should you take me seriously?
