I don't see how spirituality necessitates a belief in the afterlife. To me interconectedness and patterns of change are powerful symbols, reflecting the natural processes in the world. I am personally quite interested in various gods, views of the cosmos etc -although I don't necessarily buy into any of them- but one thing that to me just seems highly improbable and unnecessary, even in a god-created world full of spirits and dmt elves, is reincarnation or continuation of consciousness without the body from which consciousness stemmed.
Why, in your mind, does consciousness need to continue beyond death, for the individual?



no one needs it, but those who think they need it. duh.

It's from 'Hissing Fauna, are you the destroyer?' by Of Montreal. Good album (imo)


I'd be down for T. Mckenna's dmt afterlife idea... that'd be cool. Still unconvinced though

I don't quite get what you're asking here.



they rail about how people think about how there might be an afterlife, or believe in that sort of thing - they don't condone discussing the afterlife, thus they only wish to discuss secular things - all of which is contradictory/they cannot ask of people to not talk of the afterlife and discuss people whom discuss about the afterlife.

at least, you'd think, logically, what's their aim in discussing everything only in a secular setting BUT the talk of people whom discuss the afterlife? what's the aim in avoiding talk of the afterlife whilst not believing in it, most importantly, hmm, seems to me like it might lead to some very interesting answers and discovery.

Ah, I see. Good point indeed. Well, one thing is for sure. Folks believing in different thangs about afterlife has lead to a great deal of suffering and death.

this is the most important point I think, to be made here. Whatever the truth of afterlives are/is, its all speculation, and it's best to avoid basing your life around speculation imo

but if you're not speculating, you're just contemplating. if you're not doing, you're just thinking; if you're not moving, you're just distracted.

Looks like you are mincing words to excuse a death cult that disrespects physical life.  The meaning is clear, they love death - its explicitly stated.

speculation is fine.
The problem is mistaking speculation for truth

no, i mean, what i said is more like the scriptures teachings...sure it's devolved certainly, by being misinterpreted, but that doesn't however mean i am saying that wasn't ever (or is) a deathcult, no on the contrary, it's exactly that. a horde. a religion.

that's what it is.

that's why they defend death.

You can't misinterpret a false religion - there is no "correct" interpretation, that is what makes it an interpretation.  The only way you can defend that statement is to be a believer and appeal to your god's intent.

serious? Speculation of truth, is different than speculating, then treating your imaginings as real. We have to work with limited understandings of the universe in all areas, but there's no reason to confound matters even further by lending unnecessary weight to avenues of speculation which offer no compelling evidence to support themselves

there is no summery conclusion other than details of the past, predictions, predilections.

True, but there isn't much in the way of compelling arguments for life after death. Maybe it exists, maybe it doesn't.
Since we know this life we have right now exists, and it may well be all we get, it makes sense to live for this life. Screw whatever 'might' be around the corner
