I watched them. I think the take away message is have a "good death" without fear if you can.
My own 'belief hope, desire, expectation, delusion' call it what you will, is in reincarnation after exposure to one's own revealed karma and I try to live in accordance with that's how it will be. If I'm wrong doesn't matter.

Luminous Emptiness (on the Tibetan book of the dead ) is a good book on the subject.

I've been reading a bit on the CTMU (Cognitive Theoretical Model of the Universe) by Chris Langan. It's heady stuff and my brain is getting a bit old for this kind of subject but it's based on physics and the perspective is that at the highest level, the universe itself is inherently cognitive. May be worth a look at.

I suppose if the entire universe is inherently cognitive and as we are as much a part of the universe as anything else then we may all be part of that inherent cognitive reality.

Our brains can’t really effectively process nothingness, so we construct an afterlife as it’s easier to understand.

This concept also helps churches, politicians and, by proxy, states to accumulate massive wealth and power by holding populations hostage to this belief.

The human mind is a wondrous thing, capable of breathtaking acts, but like most life on this planet, it is mostly made of water, and when we die it degrades back for use again in the ecosystem.

That’s all we really leave behind, if you ask me.
 
Fascinating to hear from those in the know. I wonder what those privileged with such knowledge can tell us about our lives before we were conceived.
 
Afterlife stuff can give hope and comfort and lead to people living better lives - it's obvious why it is popular.
Alien stuff might scare some people.
Its also widely reported in the media that people are taking their own lives after been brainwashed into believing such nonsense.

I think they can.

Hit's the nail on the heed.
 
Hold on. If we are all reincarnated, many times over, when did we first appear.
If you can come back as something else, a dolphin or a whale, why bother with pairing up all the animals 2x2 in the Ark ?
And surely you wouldn't need them on the ark anyway, because they'd manage fine in the flood.

You're mixing up your superhero origin stories there mate. Like asking why Superman didn't save the Earth from the meteor in Armageddon instead of sending the astronauts.
 
Never had time to watch those videos, but after a lifetime of thought I think we all go back into the earth.
We're organic, we have our time then that's it.
