Eternal Life
Eternal life is the promise of the Monotheists. Have they ever thought this thing through? The best pie you've ever eaten in your life. Eat it every day, week in and mouth out, year after year, and see how long it will be before, you may not want to eat that pie ever again. So you want eternity? We can't give you gold, but we can give you eternal life. Admittedly an IOU. You must have faith sister. Think of it, eternity with the angels. You do like harp music, don't you?
Seems a bit extreme. I don't think it is for me. Could one discontinue existence and then pick it back up at a later date or rather time? Like hibernation. If I had existence and I had a choice, to be or not to be,
ever or never, a once in a lifetime opportunity, and we advise you to snap it up. Oh, we get a commission of one hundred years, but then you know it's back to the old grind stone. Well, infinity seems impossible to me. But am I stuck with it? Infinite existence would only seem possible, if I could slip in and out of the memory of it. Here I am, and it is possible we will assume, and I have lived already for an infinity an eternity, or at least has my metaself, but this-me doesn't know it, and can't know it without any memory of it. Eternal life then, it seems to me, would in this case be possible.
And then in the tradition of reincarnation as said by some, or so the tradition and story goes, that all living things exist on the eternal wheel of - back again already. I believe it is Progressive again, up to a point, wherein all living things through reincarnation evolve up life's biological ladder, from the primitive to the crown of creation, but then falls back, into the mud and slime, to begin again the long evolutionary crawl from worm to yearn. So enjoy your present youamibe, for the next round, one may be a slug or bug. Very democratic but leaves out the inanimates like earth, air, fire and water.
