Consolation of Haldane?

Question

The British scientist J.B.S Haldane early in the 20th century came up with a very strange possibility for eternal life; he imagined a far future in which everything in the universe was nothing more than a very thin, cold gas. If you wait long enough, and if the physical conditions of the universe are right, then statistical flucuations in the gas will be suffient to reproduce everything we see around us. After an IMMENSELY long time an identical copy of you and everyone you know and love will be reborn. This will happen not once but an infinite number of times; sometimes you will have full recollection of the previous reincarnations, other times you wont. Do you think the Consolation of Haldane is possible? Also, do you think we have been reincarnated an infinite number of times but for this particular reincarnation we simply have no memory of the previous ones?

Answer 1

As long as you confine your thinking to the rules of matter nothing important will be known to you. The answer lies in transcending all aspects of the material world. The truly important things are love, joy, creative inspiration, life energy, and kindness which can not be seen or measured but these things light the inner light of knowledge within you. The universe was the size of the head of a pin and then in a trillionth of second became a universe that is billions of light years across. In the next second after you read this it may be a pin head size universe again and you know what your essential spirit nature will be unchanged by this.
