A theory about death. What do you guys think?

Question

Okay so here's my theory.

I believe that there is this "thought" that we're all living to discover. All our experiences in life and all the people we meet are supposed to help us figure it out. This thought is like the greatest secret yet it's very obvious. Kind of like when you lose your keys and then realize it was in your hands the whole time. I mean it's the kind of thought that would make a person slap themselves in the forehead and say "Duh!"

This "thought" is also like a thread connecting everything together. It is because of this thought that opposites attract and everything seems related and deja vu occurs. You can't quite put your finger on it but it's always on the tip of your tongue. This something...this thought...

Anyways, as soon as person can identity or isolate or name this "thought" or "secret", God takes them away before they can tell someone else.

What do you guys think of my theory? Do you kind of understand what I'm talking about or are you confused

Answer 1

Your theory, which I really like, reminds me of a story akin to what Maus says:

"The joy of the infinite is ever with us, but we do not know this truth. We are like the beggar in the story who had been begging all his life in the same place. He wanted to be rich, but he was poor. When he died they found a treasure of gold buried just under the place where he had been begging. If he had only known how easy it was to be rich! True knowledge of the Self does not lead to salvation: it is salvation. But this is not an intellectual knowledge or even a poetical vision: 'In the union with Him is the supreme proof of His reality.'"
[Juan Mascaro, introduction to his translation of the Bhagavad Gita.]

According to this view, this knowledge does not bring you death, but immortality. But then again, that's what you're really saying, as God takes them away - to Heaven, I fancy.This Heaven Mascaro's talking about, however, is Heaven on Earth. But how can we tell anyone how to find their true Self, anyway?

Answer 2

But how's that a theory about death? A great spiritual teacher once said, "All that you have ever wanted to become, you already are. All life long you have these dreams about becoming this and that, there are disappointments and frustrations, and that is needed is to wake up!" Or something like that, I don't exactly remember it. But if as soon as you can identify the thought God takes it away and you can't tell anyone, what's the point of ever pursuing it?

Answer 4

Bad things happen to good people. Just look around you at what's happening even as we speak. However, you seem to be a very creative person. Why not try writing science fiction? You could start with your theory and then prove it in your book. When you publish, let me know and I'll be the first to buy your book.

Answer 5

Very interesting theory. The Bible does speak of a 'secret', but it's a secret name that we are given by God after we die, something like that. But, you have a great thought process.

Answer 6

I think that is a very fine theory. however i do not believe god would take you for coming to that conclusion. infants die and murderers live. we all have a time to go, i don't thing it is because of any conclusion or action.

Answer 7

maybe, yeah i'm thinking good thinking, but i dunno

there's an infinite possibility
