I quit smoking a week ago, and so far, so good.
I really think I'm going to get this monkey off my
back. Still, I'm kind of sad...
If smoking was as healthy for me as mother's milk
(or at least harmless!) I'd be a happy addict for life.
Unfortunately, at our time in history - medical science
is PATHETIC. Medical science has been in a state
of UTTER STAGNATION since the 1950's. Cancer...
Emphysema... Heart disease... they were all supposed
to be CURED by now. (That's what my teachers told me
back in the 70's, that they WOULD be..!)
(They ought to make 21st century doctors dress in tiger skins and
carry clubs... it would be a more honest P.R. presentation, based
on what good their profession can really do for you, and how
much they really know...)
So, the best time for ME to be alive, might not be the 21st
century. Give me the *31st century* then!
Imagine... if nanotech advances to where they can restore
health and youth to a frozen corpse... well, things like
smoking-related diseases will be child's play to cure or
prevent... right?
Sadly, in our time... if you want to be HEALTHY, you have to
live like a FREAKING MONK. THAT SUCKS, LEMME TELL
YA!!!
Imagine a world where you can smoke like a chimney... drink
like a fish... shoot heroin and meth all day every day if you like,
and still have the health and physique of Evander Holyfield at
his peak!!! (Imagine being able to FORGET about you health,
and just LIVE..!)
And if cryonics doesn't work... well, I'll be dead either way, so
what am I risking (unless there really is a "monster" type "God"
who is "jealous" and judgemental toward those who refuse to
pucker up and kiss his a$$, like certain of mankind's more
barbaric religions believe.)
"In the year, 2525"... Man, THAT'S where I wanna go. (Beats "Heaven" any day, at least for me it does..!)

B-superman (If my plans work out..!)

Wow, a week, no cigs. WAY to go.

By the way, I think we are all monks in disguise.....

[quote author=juditha link=1174231386/0#3 date=1174256803]Hi Chumley You will be like the rest of us, one day you will go to heaven,no matter what century your in,i would no way want to live forever,i want to go home oneday back to spirit,where i came from.

You will be happy when you get to spirit,because you can be whatever you want there,theres lots more choices in the spirit world than there is here on the earth plain.
*****************
ANYTHING you want, eh..?
O.K., Juditha. What if I told you I wanted to be...
A PIMP, named "Blue Fly"!!! The "rooster of the walk",
with a stable of eager young hotties at my beck and call...
and all the cigs, drugs, and booze I want (WITHOUT the
risk of making myself an invalid..!)
Would I get to be, or do THAT in the spirit world?
On the other hand, in the year 3007 A.D., maybe I
could... even if it was a time-distorted "holodeck"
experience. But it could be indistinguishable from
reality! (For example, if I died in the simulation,
the simulation would end... but up to that point
I thought it was REAL!)
So, it looks like a high-tech civilization actually
has more potential things to be and do, than the
spirit world does! (No high-falutin "morals rules"
you have to toe the line on...)

Chum,

Cryonics might be important for you in another exciting way.  You crave something you won't get--annihilation.  So after being bytch-slapped around your level-2 Swedenborgian Hell for a millenium or so, you may eventually get it through your head that you have no hopeful astral future.   After all, succumbing to the delights of PUL would be the ultimate admission of defeat and we mustn't grovel before God, eh?  Cryonics may be able to yank you out of your Hell and give you a new life in a freezer.  I doubt they'll be able to reganerate your frozen organs or thaw them out without irreparable damage. But they might be able to revivify your brain as long as it remains in deep freeze.  And who knows?  The climate in the freezer may be an upgrade over the climate in your Hell.

Anyway, I'm glad you've abandoned those 2-inch sticks of damnation!  If the Lord had wanted you to smoke, He would have created you with a chmney.   

Yours in the sweet incense of the prayers of the saints,
Don
*****************
Well, if you're right, Don... then the Universe is TRULY
a vile, disgusting sh!t-hole.
I didn't ASK to be created!!!
THAT, might give me the ANGER to do a little b!tch-slapping
of my OWN in Hell... after all, I'd know it WASN'T MY FAULT
that I was trapped in conscious existence. (Here in life, it
IS partly my fault everytime I endure pain, as I have the
option of SUICIDE. I literally CHOOSE to be here, every day!
But in HELL, I'd be trapped, with NO WAY OUT. I
WOULDN'T have the "out" option like I do here.)
AND, I would have been DENIED a REASONABLE, REASONABLE
request - simple annihilation! SO...
***I WOULN'T BLAME MYSELF!***
If I was sent to prison for a crime I DIDN'T commit, I'd fight my
heart out, until I either got respected or killed. I know myself
THAT well, at least...
Indeed, I know I'd make a MUCH better soldier as a DRAFTEE, than
as a volunteer. I WOULDN'T HAVE MYSELF TO BLAME FOR MY
SITUATION. For me, that distinction makes ALL the difference in
the world! (And it IS firmly entrenched in me SUBCONSCIOUSLY, as
I have thought this way since I was a little kid.)
So watch out, sh!theels in "Hell"!!! I'll be one P.O.'ed
individual..!
Besides, my Hell would be full of HERMITS, right? So outside of
(maybe) taking occasional long-range rifle shots at each other, there
wouldn't be much direct violence in any case. (We'd be too busy
AVOIDING each other!)
But if cryonics DOES work (and multiverse theory is true) then
I'll be O.K., methinks. (Why would they reanimate me, unless
I could be healthy and independent at least? Otherwise maintaining
me would cost them a LOT of $$$!)
So, here's hoping that your hopeless cess-pit of a universe, DOESN'T
exist, Don old boy...

B-man
P.S. You haven't given me a decent answer, as to WHY I must
be conscious forever. WHY is annihilation forbidden? Are you
not telling me why it is not allowed, because there IS NO GOOD
REASON for forbidding it??? I must suspect this to be the case,
until you can give me a REAL answer.

  Awesome, and congrats! 

Hi Chumley I think you could do that but i feel you would get bored with it after a while and move on in the spirit world to better things,you can go anywhere in the world as you only have to think it and it will happen,i will definetly visit Greece when im spirit,ive always wanted to go there,im going to enjoy every minute of being in the  spirit world,do all the things i could not do on the earth plain.

Love and God bless          Love Juditha
