In the confusion yesterday of my first day back blogging, I forgot to say thanks for highlighting my blog! Thankyou! – R

Just in case you are interested, the boredom post is at

With the overcrowding, the thinking is that humans will develop abilities we don’t have now – and that we could perhaps see planet Earth as our “mother”, but we may eventually leave the womb and explore the universe (maybe our existence here on Earth has only been the beginning). I don’t like to think about this sort of thing too much, because it is getting out of present time and we can’t know what we will be like when we have an expanded state of consciousness, anyway.

Robin’s last blog post..Bloggers’ Recording Project Has Arrived!

Hi Robin – I wondered where you got to. I need someone who is pro living forever in this discussion. You Australians must celebrate christmas for days.

I see what you’re saying re – feeling trapped. If someone is feeling trapped by the idea of living forever – there may be problems they need to fix in their lives already.

Now – I don’t think I’ve read your boredom post. I can’t imagine getting bored unless I lost my sight & use of my hands. But a lot of people do get bored easily – even though there’s so much to do.

As you say though – dying probably won’t fix that. If you can’t find a way not to be bored in this life, you’re probably going to come back in another one feeling exactly the same.

I’m still not sure where I’m at regarding all this Robin. If it does become possible to heal ourselves from virtually anything and slow down the aging process and live longer, I guess I would give it a shot.

My biggest concern is overcrowding – but so far, it sounds like the majority wouldn’t want to hang round – which gives the rest of us more space.

It’s interesting to drop into this so late, after being MIA over Christmas.

About the feeling trapped thing – my view is that seeing what reactions we have to the idea of living forever can show us the unconscious thoughts we have that are holding us back in life, so if I felt trapped, i would be telling myself “life is not a trap” – or something like that (e.g. breathe through the trapped feelings).

I’d approach the fear of boredom in the same way – I have a post about boredom, on my featured posts page.

I think your “No need to go through painful death and reincarnation” nails it. I think the causes if death (e.g. aging, illness) are an unnecessary and painful burden we impose on ourselves, and there is nothing to be gained by going through the afterlife and reincarnation – we just recreate all the same old things when we start again. It’s during life we can make changes – and try on new dresses! If things are getting boring – dying won’t fix it! (I don’t believe we can escape from ourselves and the things we have created.)

I don’t reckon the Mugabes of this world will make it to eternal life, until they change – they have too much fear in them.

Thanks Cath, for letting me have a rave – I thought when I started my blog that it would attract lots of comments canning the idea – I’ve been very surprised that it hasn’t (there are 2 castrating ones altogether – I haven’t ever deleted a comment because it was critical of what I was saying). – R

Try to live everyday as your last day and it’ will a blessing moment, even we died in accident or any unexpected disaster…

wilhb81′s last blog post..The Useful Business Tips 12: The 5 Effective Tips To Ensure Your Customers’ Privacy and Policy

I know Akemi mentioned folk who are light workers – working towards the light, in another post. It would be better if folk only had a certain time to become a lightworker, or they’d expire early. That would fix the bad guys for sure.

I’m full of cold and going to bed early, so I still didn’t get to watch this film. But I’m betting it will be awesome. I just wish we could watch it from the TV instead of the laptop.

Cath, this is a very creative topic, and your list of pros and cons certainly provides some interesting food for thought.

One more argument on the ‘cons’ side. If everyone lived forever, then this would include oppressive leaders such as Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong Il.

The upshot of this could potentially be that the poor residents of places like Zimbabwe, Burma and North Korea, just to name a few, could remain under the oppression of men like these for centuries, or even perhaps eternity – not just decades.

Andrew’s last blog post..Merry Christmas

Hi Mike – That’s a good point. If someone was able to do that – we’d know what was there after we’d died.

Hi Betsy – I know the book you mean – I have it on my wishlist. I must admit – the reason I didn’t buy it yet was that I found it difficult to swallow that he could be dead for all that time and come back to life. I would love to hear what you think of it once you’ve read it.
