How do you intend to...?

Question

return to your source? If it were to happen here and now, what attitude would you have when you came face to face with the ultimate human reality? Is there darkness? light? or something stranger that is yet unimagined by you? How will you react to this inevitable change in your perception?

Answer 1

Well, I figure that my desire to explore the unknowns would guide me. The very idea of curiosity or not knowing would immerse me into a new focus completely.
Great question.

Answer 2

To return to the source I suppose I'd have to die. I'm not sure how I'd react because I honestly don't know if consciousness lives on after death, and therefore cannot really say what I believe. I haven't died and lived to tell about it. However, I imagine it being something like re-merging with all that is (the universe) and feeling whole, complete, and connected. I'm sure it's either stranger than I imagine or I'm completely wrong so I'll be surprised (if my consciousness lives on). Good question.

Answer 3

I intend to be cremated. That leaves the most compact and easily integrated form of the atoms that made up my body, so they can be easily returned to their "source" -- the earth. The materials of the earth is what we all came from, and is the only "source" there is.

Unless you go further back in time...since the earth consists entirely of materials made from earlier solid bodies in space and supernovas (the only place in the universe where metals and other heavy atoms can be made) -- but since there's no commercial service to shoot my ashes to the stars yet, I'll have to settle for being returned to the "local" source.

There's no evidence of any kind that any sort of afterlife exists, so that's all there is. Sad that we have such a brief time to make our mark on the universe, but true. I'll live on through my children, and their children, and their children...:)

Answer 4

I think this is one of those things that happens on its own... regardless of how we "intended" to do it. In regard to the change in your precption... I feel the life we are living on this earth is the "change in our precption". Once we return to our source we will be "home" again and in a place we know and belong...so it will be more of a recognition of something we already know.. or a return to our true perception. What attitude will we have??? At that point I'm sure we will have lost any "attitude".

Answer 5

Every person ever born will bow before God in all humility, and receive their judgment. Unlike Earthly judgment there will be no appeals, and there are only two possible verdicts. You will either hear "well done my good and faithful servant enter into the joy of my kingdom." or "Depart from me you worker of iniquity I never new you." It all depends on the decisions you make while you are still alive. Either you accept the gift of eternal life in Heaven, made possible by Jesus' death and Resurrection. Or you reject that gift and spend all eternity separated from God in a place called Hell. Its your choice, nobody else can make it for you.
Chose you this day who you will serve. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

Answer 6

Strange is the beyond, light is all that it is, and yet sounds, movements all stranger than man can imagine. Life much freer and fuller. Free of the body, it's restraints and limitations.

Answer 7

I guess the same way I always have. Or, as so humorously put in an email I received called, "You might be a Pagan if..."

"Upon dying, you first thought is "Oh sh.it, not again". "
