All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.
--Walt Whitman


Many consider Carl Jung, with his Theory of Synchronicity, to have empirically proved the existence of miracles!

Welcome, EN.CL! I think youll find this a good place for your lucid and introspective conversation.
I read the material you presented with great interest, and found passages there that aptly expressed ideas I've reached but never found the proper words for. It also causes me to recall the classic porposal that "there's only so much energy in the universe." Ergo, your life's energy must be delegated to a new
niche in the energy continuum upon its demise...whether it's still you or not is quite another question. Someone once suggested (I think it was Alan Watts) that all consciousness is One, growing to become conscious of itself. Also the concept of no-thingness and mutual arisal...there cannot be something
unless there's nothing, simultaneously, not in linear degree. But, then, Eugene O'Neill was a proponent of The Eternal Return, the future is just the past becoming itself over and over again. As far as time, I've always said that if the human life span was 300 or 900 it would all still seem too short, and probably about the same, when you get to the end. 'Cause in retrospect, everything goes too quickly, even the pain once you're out of it. Well, I guess that's enough theoretical hash to throw into the pot for now. Again, welcome EN.CL...and thanks for a stimulating and thought inspiring thread!
