If we carry the analogy of energy draining out of batteries that needs to be recharged a little further how about we examine the concept of the "sole battery charger."

I can charge up the batteries in my laptop computer while the computer is turned off, or to follow the analogy, while the laptop computer is sleeping. If I unplug the charger before I wake the computer up the batteries will drain as you say and need to be recharged after the computer is turned off later.

But, if I do not disconnect the charger after waking up the computer to computer batteries will never run down and I will never need to put the computer to sleep to charge them.

So we might say if it is possible for the soul to find a way to remain plugged into the power source while it is awake, it would never need to sleep to recharge. I wonder how soul would do that?

Entropy can be said to "rule" within a system in which all forces operate to randomize any "organized" form of energy within that system. However, if what we call the soul is truly eternal there must be a force that does not have the effect of randomizing the soul's energy within that system. If I had to guess I would say whatever that force is "rules" the system we call our afterlife.

oh my.  You are describing what I hope for, a favorite dream of mine.
Suppose a person finds out they watch Groundhog's day.  How do they turn off the movie?  I do understand it helps not to watch so much television because of what it does to different areas of the brain   and causes "playacting" and many questions are asked about this.  "Are you just playacting or are your intentions real?"  What else is to be done?  What reasons would this happen? 

Thank you for your kindness.   You have a wonderful site here
