Do you think Being can ever absolutely disappear, as though it has never existed (in dimensions or otherwise)?

Answer 1

I just saw a program on the science channel about Stephen Hawking's theories on what happens inside a black hole. First, he believed that matter actually disappeared. After other physicists started questioning his "proof," and following a few years of thinking about it more, he believed that the matter didn't actually disappear, but re-emerged in another universe -- one without black holes. That theory didn't go over particularly well either.

Then again, I'm not sure what you mean by the word "Being," so the above may not have any bearing on your question.

Answer 2

Sometimes, I think the reason behind most of our spiritual/religious questions/wonderings, "Is death final...will it be the end of 'me'?"

I think we will find out at death. We cannot know this answer. I have had a couple of "near death" experiences and other amazing spiritual experiences, but still, I know nothing.

I do know that to feel the texture of this life, to be intimate with ones own life, stay in touch with all the colors, sensations, etc. is important. Life is miraculous! It is a "dimension" and one that is 'here, now'.

I have come to think that life/energy cannot disappear. Does electricity disappear from you home when you turn one light off?

Answer 3

No except in the case of a supernova in which case all matter will fit inside the head of a pin. So it will effectively have "disappeared", but still exists. Ok, does that help?

Answer 4

"What is can never cease to be. What is not cannot never come into existence."

The statement was posited in the Bhagavad Gita but I believe it also was the view of Neoplatonists,

Answer 5

if you think of BEING as a form of energy, then you know the answer.
