Aww..B-man..if the same conditions on Earth are found on another planet, the odds are that the same type of life will exist there.

Personally, I don't believe we reincarnate in a cross-species way.  That is, I don't believe I could come back as say..a cat, nor do I think a cat could come back as a human.

The beauty of the afterlife is that you could choose which form, that is, whether a planet where everyone was green and tentacled, or just very similar to the human type.

I think it would be cool if there were a "Klingon-type" or "Vulcan-type" (perhaps more like Romulan, I wouldn't care for the nonemotions nor the 7 year sex cycle either)

But, whatever is "out there", the excitement is in finding it.

I had this dream once that was so real..close to oobe, and it sticks with me..that it was a real place..not here.

I call it "the yellow planet" as everything seemed..yellow.  Not the people.  They were just like us.  But, the fields, the dirt, the streets..you get the idea.

In the dream, I actually boarded a spaceship to get there.  Then a yellow train ride towards town, a walk down a yellow paved street, where I saw a yellow truck parked along the side.  It had a name on it, like "Ford" only..it was a language I could not read.

Was it just a dream?  Perhaps.  But, I've been looking for that "yellow world" ever since.  I think..that's where I'd like to go next.

haha... I didn't ask for my "spirit" to be brought into existence too, but here I am...

Alas, my curiosity saved me from the oblivion, and I just want to find out whatta f*ck is this (what everyone is calling) life all about...

and I'm sure I will find out...

it is my choice to live or go to oblivion after this 'revelation'...

so, in some degree I feel like you, B-(wo)man... but, I know one thing: at least I'm not impaired like you... for that I thank you...

hahahaha

Hi Brendan -

Gee, I'm glad that you aren't suicidal.

But now that you've incarnated you're now in a world in which the odds of getting out alive are extremely slim. So it kinda moots the "whether", and leaves only the "when". The same is true of rebirth as well.

Since the evidence is that we fall back and forth through the cosmic looking glass, we can neither be eternally alive nor eternally dead. Perhaps that's not really as important as what we're doing at the present moment, and how we feel about it.
