I think that this is just a way the self perceives the rotting, the splitting into smaller parts. The physical and spirtual world are one and the same. Not to say the corpses are that valuable, i think most of the spirit is transferred into energy during the actions of our lives. thoughts are electric impulses(energy), how we percieve the world, and how we make our decsions. and i wonder what is the real importance of belief. |
I completely agree with this statement. I once had a theory that John Edwards (guy on tv who talks to ghosts) was actually more of a psychic and able to pick up brain waves of audience members in order to be able to access their memories and thoughts.
As for the importance of belief, I think it all boils down to survival, one of the obvious key components and goals of life. In the broad view of things, believing in something instead of nothing makes the majority of life happy and capable of enduring hardships, helping to ensure survival. Belief in religion is something that helps describe the "goods" and "bads" in life and tries to keep us on the good and loving side of things, i.e. not killing people, which is just an aspect of ensuring survival.
