i recently read in discover magazine that scientists have found a way to turn on and off memory cells in our brain.
they say that this is good news for people with post traumatic stress disorder, which i was diagnosed with a few years ago.
this, to me, brings up the ethical question of what did the traumatic events in my life, and the lives of others, add to society as a whole?
Hi sab
I'm sorry you are leaving as I have enjoyed your artistic experimental spirit. Ignore entirely possible if you can. But you are right in saying that he follows you around.
entirely possible (and cofty) too it is quite a paradox that whilst you try to hold Sab to a rigorous scientific interrogation you employ your own imaginative fictions - Please don't take yourselves so seriously!!! Perhaps then you may be able to see your own artistic experimentations

fascinating discussion going on here guys. I find myself agreeing and not agreeing with both of you - mP and sab. but have to dash out - I hope to be back later

i'd also like to know if the bible presents death as a transition and if it does so more than presenting it as a complete end..
thanks didgderidoo - hey I agree to an extent. I think it is important to see death as the end of the road if it impels us to live our present life to the full. But on the other hand what if there are enormous changes we want to see made in the world around us but we ourselves are heavily restricted? what then?

Terry - thanks. I also have toyed with viewing life through the eyes of an artist. the varying intensities of colour suggestive of life's ebbs and flows. This kinda ties in with what another poster said on this thread - make your death light
edit: okay it was n.drew and here it is in full
Death IS an end. A wise man once said "pick up your cross" . He was the fellow that died on a cross or tree but who cares and why? It means your death will come, do not fear it, but pick it up. Now if someone should pick it up (it is rare) and carry it, they would be wise to make it light. |

tec - I agree regarding n.drew's comment - "from life to life". It opens up huge possibilities. I'm really glad she commmented on my thread.
Regarding spiritual death - I hadn't thought of it as a transition but now I see that it is an important aspect that would need digging into.

thanks flossycat - sounds interesting
prodgal son, n.drew thanks for your thoughts on re-incarnation. I agree prodigal son that the belief of re-incarnation is very universal and that certain scriptures can be read that way.
death, in ancient writings is beginning to sound like a positive transition rather than a deadend.

Do you see why some people would think it should be a secret? |
uncertainty about getting it right? there are no right or wrong answers even if the the false prophet says there are

thanks found sheep. I go through phases when my own mortality is acceptable to me and then at other times it is completely unacceptable and unfair that I should have to die before i have realised all that I want to.
