I failed miserably in explaining my thoughts in my post.
Well then, i don't feel so bad for not grasping your time theory, although some of the comments have helped me a bit in understanding what you are saying. Perhaps when you get it more precipitated you could try again. Time has been a puzzle for me also. S
I think you have done a course in Quantum Mechanics
IronGland:Do you mean that we occupy this limited piece of time/space whereby if it were possible to visit each moment we would be pinned like a showcase in eternity?
I'm not sure how the "waking up crying" bit fits in, but that was what I took from your post.
IG, if you will allow me to take an aside here (an even if you don't LOL):
From the first, you were an impetuous poster, and chatter. Remember when you first started in chat, and were wheeling off about electrostatic theory, and Maxwell's equations? Honestly, at first, I thought your were just being a jerk...I'm still not sure.
But, insofar as your time-continuum-of-existence proposition is concerned: Most philosophers over the last 3000 years would agree with you, and most theoretical physicists as well.
The problem is: PROOF!!!!
Don't you believe in reincarnation?
Or don't you like evaporated milk?
Actually, that wasn't very funny now that I look at it...
The problem is: PROOF!!!!
Yes, and if my scenario were correct, proof would be impossible as it would have already been proved or perhaps WILL be proved over and over again.

Science has become the new "Religion". Scientists like to forget the fact that 500 years ago, the best of them taught that the earth was flat. And they would kill you to prove it, or at leat publicly humiliate you. So, all phenomenon are explainable by Science, and anything not fitting the paradigm is unworthy to be even mentioned or questioned? What fitting homage to the infallable Dogma of "The Scientific Method".
I presume this is the sort of lack of education CRR was talking about that explains why people still believe in demons.
I'm assuming the "waking up crying" bit refers to waking up as a newborn baby after you die. As others have mentioned, there is no proof. No one has spoken up to can say that they've been reincarnated AND given solid evidence that that is exactly what had occurred.
Not one of us knows what it is like to cease to exist. Trying to come up with an explanation for such things or believing another individual's explanation for such things gives others comfort simply because the unknown can be frightening.
Once you have proof that something exists whatever that may be, gives us peace of mind, because it?s like ?ok I understand. Makes sense, I can deal with it.?
Bringing ?faith? and ?god? into the picture when trying to explain what happens after we die is still, no matter how you look at it, an attempt to explain something we have no knowledge of whatsoever. All we know of death is that it happens. We decompose, and become the matter that makes up the earth.
