All music is just a mathematical cadence that sets the soul free from Blue Suede shoes to Amazing Grace
something to do with the % of water in our bodies and our brain chemicals and of course the heart, body and soul.

Did you know that your guts have a lot to do with what you like?

This web site won't let me copy and paste, but it is worth looking into ... your know that old saying, "I have a gut feeling" about something?

I like the ice cream with nuts in

Reminds me of this

Several years ago, I was in an ice cream store where they had a very wide variety of flavors. It was a very hot day and there was a long line. There was a group of about a half dozen trendy people ahead of me. When they got to the counter, they spent an ungodly amount of time asking for samples and debating the choices, something along the line of "Oh, this flavor reminds me of last summer in Maui", "I think this one would go well with a pressed duck dinner", and so on. They finally made up their minds, got their ice cream, and moved off to the side. I got up to the counter and asked for vanilla ice cream. One of the trendies heard my request and commented: "Vanilla? Isn't that rather unimaginative?" I replied "Maybe so, but I didn't keep a long line of people waiting while I dallied about and dithered."...


I don't know what happens after we die, but if there is a place of eternal punishment and agony, I do hope there is an especially hot place reserved for people like those trendies...



<O>

What the hell's all this got to do with ice cream anyway? Unless of course an ice cream cone is a metaphor for life: The first half is soft and smooooth and tasty; the second half is dry, tasteless and brittle, and keeps on getting smaller and smaaller and... smaaaller... until... all gone!

I hope it's just like going to sleep with no dreams.
Sleep. The little death.

I don't believe in any afterlife.

If this has been mentioned or have been debated in this thread then erase my comment, ´cause I haven't read every comment in this thread

Many years ago a group of scientist from Sweden, England and two other countries joint together and made a survey, where they in each separat country asked those who have been dead for second or minutes and had been relived

From what I can remember the answer they got, told them that it was not a common experience the patient had while being dead-the story they told was different.

They also found out that the "Dream" they have had also depended on their belief or not.

The are two stories I do remember, some part of it.

One was a man from England. He told the scientist he saw a bright light and a man with beard opening his arm when he suddenly was drawn backwards and later woke up.

The next was also from England, but this was also a man who came from India and he told the scientist he had seen a person with several arms

A third person said he was so to say nearby seeing the doctors working on his body.

Our ancestors believed that death does not exist, and there is only a long separation, perhaps so they were easier to overcome...

Maybe. It's also rather delicious.

No more than it has to do with which version of 'Amazing Grace' one likes the best. Derailing an active thread with a specific point can be annoying. A resurrected thread in which people have quickly run out of things to talk about is another thing entirely. Your opinion on the afterlife, or whether there is one, is easy to state but impossible to argue. What else is there?

hmmm, as far as my way of thinking goes, much has changed.

Only the dead know for sure what happens when the body dies. But there have been some who have been revived and shared experiences which would indicate it doesnt end on the death bed. So I suppose it is possible there may be a transition from the physical to the metaphysical and why not? Already science has firm clues that has changed and continues to challange our old ideas of what reality is.

It boggles my mind to think how an ethereal massless energy eventually condensed to form matter, became alive, learned to love, feel joy, compose great symphonies and reach for the stars. That thing that makes you you, your soul conscience whatever you want to call it, is energy and its got to go somewhere. :D

It's a nice thought but there is no evidence that anything like that happens. Although I had many years as a believer in such things I don't think there is an afterlife. When the power goes off and brain activity ceases, that's it. In many ways i think it will be a relief. :O:

^This.

It's true. In the scale of the universe as we know it we're barely visible. Just a blip.

Honestly I think Neapolitan is the best ice cream
chocolate, vanilla and strawberry how can you go wrong Xd:D

We the living I dont think have any solid evidence to support either claim. Like I said only the dead know for sure what happens after we die. But things do change as we learn more. 100 years ago science just 'knew' the universe was eternal. Today sceince now has evidence that suggests it had a beginning.

What happens after I died?

Having no own family by then, and expecting my parents to be dead by then, foreign people I never knew will come and do with the dead corpus and my former belongings what they want, following my last will as they pleases, so its absolutely possible they will ignore it as well, and I will not exist to care for that anymore.

That is what will happen.

I like this author who has just two words on his gravestone in some natural reserve in the US: "No comment." :)

"No drama" also would have been good. :D

All this rite and ritual is not for the dead, but for the survivors. Do not sent the deceased those expensive flowers. Do that while they still are alive. If you missed that, save your money later on.
