  Who am I ----- since the beginning of time men have asked  this.  And there is only one in history that answered it correctly in My  Opinion is the Christ (all knowing) ……

  In the words of this world -- was said the spirit that is you, is not of this  world but in it.

  Really ponder this, “not of this world”  if its not of this world, then  nothing in this world can define or speak of it, as it is not of this world of  labels and definitions.

  A fish needs water to live in its avatar, and we need a avatar that functions  in this environment.   Spirit needs neither. 

  Spirit (you) functioned before entering the avatar world. And now in it, as  life giver to that avatar ie, all things that have life.

  When spirit leaves, this world of labels has it lost anything, or is it just  as complete as it was when entering it?

  And being complete there is nothing for it to be or do, except give life to  that avatar it chooses to occupy at that moment.   All else is a game  of the Matrix to screw with the avatars mind and awareness.

  Spirit remains complete and in tacked unaffected by anything of this world --- because its not of this world, and nothing applies, because its all of this  world, religions, beliefs, concepts, labels, definitions, lies, and yes truths,  do not apply to things not of this world.  Spirit is not a thing, so that  doesn’t apply either.

  So what we are left with is a question that can not be answered by the world  of men and matrix as all of it except the spirit (you), is of this  world.

  You are no concept, avatar, belief, or label, John - dick - or Harry  Potter.  You (spirit) are the giver of life eternal, past all this world do  this, and do that, and believe in me, crap of the matrix of men.   End  Of Opinion   J   John the  Artist.

  lol, "sometimes you feel like a nut... sometimes you don't." -- On that note, your post inspired me to share the following:

   

  The truth, is that there is no truth. It's a possibility.

   

  The human imagination is a vast and complex thing, capable of coming up with the most interesting and sometimes very intellectual theories on "the truth". And the human mind is very capable of catering to these ideas whether it be tricks of the mind, dreams etc. Some people are functional-crazy. Some aren't.

   

  The truth may very well be that there is no god, there is no afterlife, and there is no purpose to life (but you can make one or many for yourself if you want during your lifetime; and it's usually encouraged because a person without a sense of purpose usually leads to depression and unfulfillment in life). But if that were the truth, if the people who devotedly or even those that just slightly follow their religion (or spirituality path/belief system, whatever, etc etc), discovered it was all made up... well, I feel it is better for people to think there are "rules" and consequences of a higher power (whether that be karma, reincarnation, etc etc so on and so forth)... than not. While it would be nice to live in a world where people are decent human beings naturally, some (or many) people seem to need the structure of religion or a belief system.

   

  If the truth was that there is no existence after death, and word got out and people believed it... I think we would see much more harm, pain and evil in the world. Which is exactly why I won't try to talk someone out of their religion/belief system if it doesn't harm anyone. If it brings them peace, no sense in trying to destroy that peace (if it doesn't hurt anyone).

   

  By the same token, I don't think your beliefs dictate your existence or lack thereof in the afterlife. Some people are under the impression that those who believe you don't exist after you die, won't... even if the afterlife exists... all because that's what they chose to believe. I feel that if there is an afterlife, you'll exist just as much as anybody else after you die no matter if you believe you exist or not. Not existing doesn't hurt the person who doesn't exist. Because they no longer exist to know or even care about not existing. If you don't exist anymore, you don't exist to feel, think, sense, know, have opinions, thoughts etc etc. But it would hurt those who knew the "no-longer-existing-person" and who knows how long it would take to get over that kind of depression. At least when someone dies in life, there's a glimmer of hope that you'll see them again sometime in the afterlife if the afterlife exists. But if you die completely and totally and stop existing... and you're no-longer-existing forever and ever and ever... that would be a major blow to the people that held that person in their hearts. And I'm sure there are innocent, awesome people in the world who just haven't been introduced to the idea that something exists after death... so to have these people stop existing after death because of their beliefs or lack thereof, would be pretty shitty.

   

  I'm aware this is long enough to be it's own post/blog/discussion but like I said, I'm not trying to change anyone's beliefs, just share my own meanderings, so I feel it's more appropriate to hide this comment under your post (since for some reason your post compelled/motivated me to type this), than draw more attention to my words than necessary.
