Hi Nanner-

You ask a great question as to why we always come back to the basic question of whether the afterlife exists, and whether this question is based on the "grass is greener" syndrome.

My own observation is that a person who is leading a well balanced, fulfilling life probably does not waste much time asking question after question about the afterlife.  For one thing, these questions are never answered to anyone's satisfaction.  It's like a dog eternally chasing its tail.

I would guess that people who were dealt a bad hand in this life are those most likely to be so obsessed with the afterlife. They see no value or purpose in this earthly life, so they place all of their hopes in finding solace after they die.  It's really sad, because the world is full of people who accomplished wonderful things even in the face of adversity.

Maybe if they turned off their computer for even a few days and did something worthwhile, they would feel much better.  And it doesn't have to involve finding the cure for cancer, just helping a neighbor would be a positive step in the right direction.

The afterlife either exists or it doesn't.  Fact is, we don't know.  But this earthly life does exist, and therefore why not make it count for something?

Hi ginny,nice to have you back.Can you tell me you greatest experience.exploring the afterlife.I know you have had many.George

Hi Rondele,

I'm wonderring about a 'rumor' (don't know its origin in spiritual history) that each age of the Earth has seen a different civilization rise to great heights.  Earlier civilizations were much more spiritually gifted than we are.  The humans were reputed to be horned, blue, etc at these different stages and much less dense than we. Don't know if that latter is a pun.

So would this fit your question, that maybe we can rediscover remnants of spiritual knowledge that were commonly known to previous civilizations?

Rondele,

I think it's likely we are born into this human experience with a strong, innate intuitiveness regarding our focus of awareness Here, There and countless other areas of consciousness. When the five physical senses Here demand more and more of our focus, I think that inner knowing simply takes a back stage and is eventually buried as we zero in on the Here, and all being human has to offer. Maybe we have designed it so temporarily forgetting is a part of the deal here, so we can get everything possible out of the experience of being human. Just how I see it.

If I'd been able to watch ahead of time the life I've had, it's possible I could have turned into Yosemite Sam with pistols blazing, hollering, "Hell no!"-----lol .
