and have one final piece of wisdom to share with the world, what would it be?
For this thread, let's bypass the clever and witty last words and make it something important you would really like to share with your progeny and friends.

haha. In all actuality, I'd probably give a big "I love you" to my friends and family. And tell them to live life, and to appreciate and realize how much of a gift it really is.

have sex with as many women as you possibly can while you're here. and wear a rubber
edit: either that or just, be happy with your life. Try and enjoy those things you have, and love everyone around you, and try to understand others, and understand why they act the ways they do. this life is about love, share your love with the people you care for, and even with strangers if you so desire.

Nothing is important.

A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

I would have nothing to add, as I freely share my insights (for whatever they are worth ) in my day-to-day life. 
My last words would be "I love you."

The reason for bad, it so that we can feel good.
All the universe is balance, it will always be there to balance your lives.
The experience of people you dislike or hate, are equally as important to the experience of the ones you like and love. These two polar opposites would not exist, if one of them, were to be destroyed.
-------------------- The mind is a creative tool. It searches to protect you, through message sensations(feelings). It is no different than a computer, you need to make sure its anti-virus program is in check and that it doesnt have a script that limits your experience, because of to much precaution. And remember the computer does not appear to respond to words of anger and frustration - just give it input, in the form of new meanings that you know to be true and its messages to you and the limits it lays out for you, will change. Guilt is an outcome of believing you are the cause of the problems. Yet, we are not a cause to something, we see is negative or bad - Unless you believe your intentions are directed towards a bad outcome....

I would apologize to everyone for being so unconscious and self-centered. That's if I died now, so I'm workin' on it.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

OrgoneConclusion, the only purpose in life is to love. Love yourself, love everyone around you, and love what you are doing. No matter what it is. Death is always near, and when it comes you will feel the weight of the negligence you've accumulated in your life. The one regret people always seem to have, is that they should have loved [lived] life more.
So to sum this up... I would hope to have the personal strength on my death bed, to tell others to "Lighten up and smile, there is no need to have a heavy and burdened mind. Radiate love to all beings."

The only real wisdom I learned in my life, is that you remaining people should smoke more weed, hash, etc. etc. take more acid, shrooms, etc. etc. And don't forget ecstasy...

MushroomTrip said: In la la land
As Ram Dass pointed out decades ago, "There is only One," and as poet Edwin Arnold wrote in 'The Light of Asia,' "The Dewdrop slips into the Shining Sea," the great illusion of multiplicity dissolves into the One.
I too think that Fundamentalist Christians (and Muslims) harbor fairytale versons of an afterlife. I recommend the movie 'What Dreams May Come,' with Robin Williams to give a great illustration of such an afterlife. In that film however, it is not all peaches and cream. The Robin Williams character leaves his idyllic Heaven to rescue his wife who is langishing in Hell. It is a fairytale story for adults, with Heaven and Hell constructed from aspects of one's own life - complete subjectivity - including Hell of one's own making.
I suppose my point is that even the best 'world of form' that one could imagine as heaven, would become Hell if a human consciousness were subjected to 'existence' for 1000 years or more. Fundamentalists tend to speak of being individuals along with other individuals in some kind of Greek mythic Elysian Fields, much like Native American Happy Hunting Grounds where one imagines the best of earthly life continuing forever. Forever is not a long time, it is Eternity, a paradox of intensity and timelessness, but not eternal duration. As YHVH said to Moses: "No [Hu]man may see the face of God and live." Indeed, when the human consciousness realizes its Essential Identity with Ultimate Reality, the human individual ego dies. Only the One is eternal Fundies out there. There is NO human immortality - that is a Greek myth. Eternal Life is God Alone (All One) and only insofar as a human being realizes theosis - transformation through realization - does one 'go to Heaven.' Heaven is a spatial metaphor for BEING. God is a personal metaphor for BEING. Or, as the World English Bible puts it about God:
"...who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see..." - 1 Timothy 6:16
Only BEING, Pure Identity, the "I AM" of the Old Testament which Iesus identifies as the true Self is 'immortal.' Fundies however misunderstand the revelation of Iesus as pertaining only to Iesus' own identity. What is true for Iesus is true for everyone. Human individuality perishes, so everyone needs to adopt the Boy Scout motto and "Be Prepared." I AM that Light, and so are YOU!
Peace and Happy Thanksgiving!
