Sometimes it just happens and something articulates for you. And in this case the AFTERLIFE. This has something to do with the story of a human raised as a Martian who returns to Earth, together with the blackhole theory.
Thank you to Robert Heinlein for ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’. And Stephen Hawking for ‘Brief History of Time’ (also Errol Morris who made a great doc on it).
I believe in the afterlife. I believe there is a higher being. But suddenly heaven and hell is no longer a clear cut division, they’re levels. In the same way that the black hole is not exactly black our spirits are not exactly spirits.
When we die we get absorbed into the collective energy of those who have gone before us. Dead Monster is no longer Monster because she does not exist.
There is a dimension in the universe that we don’t see because we’re limited by our bodies. Hawking kept on investigating the blackhole because he couldn’t believe that if you drop an astronaut in the blackhole it will just disappear. He just couldn’t. And that’s how he figured out that the astronaut as we know it DID disappear but it comes back…as radiation.
The consciousness that we so hold in high regard is the one thing that every religion promises will remain after death. I’m not discounting the fact that there might be consciousness…but not of spirit or soul or anything individual. It’s impossible. Consciousness is still coming from the brain…which dies with us.
I think it’s more like particles moving together like the blackhole that collapses, sucking in that astronaut and eventually nuking it.
Am i going to be excommunicated now?

Every year since 2005; someone (sometimes 2) I’m close to, dies. I am also blaming my closeness to both my parents’ clans. I’m also blaming my lots of friends (i don’t have a thousand friends in fb but i consider 10 as many na), because the probability of one of them dying goes up. The more in a population, the higher the death counts.
I think dying is cool. It happens. But why does it have to be so damn depressing? Sabagay, taxes are depressing too.
I think I should have less friends. Or attend less family reunions.
Bye, Tito D. You left so early. We never finished that conversation about that movie you wanted to make.
