Been a long time since I read such unmitigated nonsense! Are you people for real? Just because you are scared of dying doesn’t mean you won’t. Get over it, grow up and stop being such wusses! Ever thought what would happen if death wasn’t part of life? Piles of plants, shoulder high animals, no recycling of nutrients so no new life. The whole idea is insane. Oh, but humans are special, made in the image of ‘god’ and can live forever, crap. You all WILL die no matter what ramblings you indulge in about choosing. Let’s see you in ten, twenty years from now, older and hopefully wiser.
We are an evolved life-form just like all others. We are mammals like all other mammals, we die and our physical substance is recycled by nature - the cycle of life - and we join back into the stream of life’s nutrients courtesy of the microbes worms and insects. There is no afterlife, no god, no living forever, and no reassurance for those who are scared at that. Get used to it, live with it, stop dreaming about living forever and get on with living now. Just imagine if you can where all the people would go if they lived forever; would they continue to have babies? We are already crowded on this planet’s liveable spaces, will we all live in boxes stacked a mile high?
And who would want to live forever when the world is being trashed so thoroughly that my grandchildren are unlikely to live as long as me, and I have real fears of what they will face in the near future.
Faeries, angels? - I stopped believing in childish nonsense when I grew up.

Hi there Dot - When my cat died (1993), I felt like a huge chunk of me had been torn out - I imagined seeing her again for a long time. I have only had one person close to me die, and I think in terms of seeing him again when he reincarnates and we all get over this silly death business and can be together.

As for animals, I think we project our love and so on onto them - the love we feel for them is really inside us (well, it’s the same for people, but anyway…) Today, I’m grateful my Cilla (my cat) brought that love out of me, but I don’t find myself yearning for her as an individual - I see her more as the collective pussy-cat spirit. She was so soft.

The way I used to be, I would have been all for this. Now that my dear dogs have died, I’m looking forward to seeing them when I die.

Hello again Robin,
I appreciate your comment, and helping me with important information such as spamming and advice on giving a direct link to myspace. Maybe you do not feel like you are a chosen vessel but you are a vessel to me. Living waters, which are living words, are coming out of you. This is the reason I say you are a chosen vessel. I like to say if I can help you in any kind of way Robin, please let me know. You and I are on the same mission. Let us keep going. Let us never get tired of living.

I also teach people about the keys to eternal life. This was something I didn’t mention in the previous comment. If you and I work together, maybe we can help people see and understand that they can live. It is time out for dying. Let us live my sister, and teach others how to do the same. Thank you.
