I liked to think of it as a place where all my friends and family can hang out, everyone knows each other. We can visit all the wonderful places, lush green grass with the brightest sun ever and do what we want!

Weather-wise, I'd like a place with lots of twilight/sunsets, alternating days/nights w/lots of stars, and plenty of electrical storms... I LOVE thunder & lightning...
maybe a coastal setting. Or would it be noontime
24/7?
Or did I just describe a "hell" realm???

Well cryonics is becoming more feasible fast and with the latest developments in nanomedicine and aging intervention, it is dawning on people that we may just achieve non-ageing bodies some day, and even like 100-150 years from now

Is it surprising that people think "I dont want to miss that by maybe 1-2 generations, that sucks"?

I`ve signed up for cryonics after much consideration and research. As you know, I am tormented by a fear of death, but I am not 100% convinced there is no afterlife. 95% convinced maybe. But if there is an afterlife - hope hope hope - then I do not think it will change for me if I live longer. Why? Humanity will never become immortal. Even if I will be woken up in 100 years, restored to a youthful condition and hopefully with my mind mostly intact, I can still be swallowed in an earthquake, go up in flames, be pulverized by a bomb or airplane crash....lost of lovely possibilities to dwell on. So, the afterlife will be there for me, just a bit later. Even if I live 10.000 years - whats this in the face of eternity?

But I have always been a very curious and eager person and I SO would love to see the future. Is it not conceivable that God - should she exist - has given us these great and ever-searching brains so we can, some day, live in a world where we can manufacture the basic needs for everyone without effort and live in non-ageing bodies so we are spared the pain of decay? Also, people would become much more conscious towards preserving the earth - after all, they would be there to live on it .

All in all, I decided to sign up and hope the time-ship will transport me to a future with all new, exciting possibilities. And then, when I die one day (again), I will hopefully find out you all have been right and there is even more to explore! How wonderful that would be.

Oh, and cryonicists arent all selfish narcissist, one for example has been lost to pulverisation helping others during 9/11.

And if oblivion is true..well, then at least I cheated the cold darkness out of its prey for a bit more.

Hello Wutz,

another person told me that she knew me from New York in the 19th century and that I was married there. Maybe I moved from Georgia?

Sorry , as I said, I do not remember anything from past lives. Except maybe one thing: I used to have a very vivid dream of myself as a very old woman. I was sitting in a beautiful rose garden and I knew it was my garden. I died - heart failure, sitting in the sun on a bench and the last I knew was extreme sadness for losing my loved ones. Sadly I woke up there, so no knowledge of the "after".

English is a language that came very easily to me and that I now speak almost like it is my native tongue (which it isnt). My aunt lives in Georgia, she married someone from there. These are the only connections that could give some credit to what you say .

But it could just be me not remembering.

I did an exercise in regression once only. I fully expected to find myself somewhere in the last centuries. Instead, I saw myself as a young boy in a time that was given as 5000 years ago! I was living with my family in a dense forest, in very primitive but happy circumstances. I died when I was a child still, and I didnt understand what happened to me. Of course, this could all be my imagination. That would explain, tho, why the forest is my home and the trees are my friends. I "feel" the essence of a tree and "feel" if it is friendly, sick, rejecting...or the equivalent of tree feelings, I`m just translating it to my human experience. Of course, I could just be crazy (dont usually tell people about this).

'Normal' is overrated. What is 'normal'? What is 'crazy'? I really don't have a clue, and I don't care very much anymore.

What if that body which was preserved could house a new soul? If the old one wanted to move on.
