It's not practical in life mainly because not many people understand it, they like their beginnings and endings. It's hard for people to grasp eternity being a continual existence, yet they all believe when they die they have eternal life and don't seem to have a problem with that. Even though it's about the same thing, except with an explanation behind it. It takes mystery out of life and people will think they don't have much of a purpose and then mass suicides, blah blah blah. I don't talk about it much and I certainly don't push it on people, it sound so redundant coming from a few members here, and a little too mystical for my taste. |
Great word, "finitiny".
Yeah I agree, it's very hard for people to grasp it.
Quantum mechanics has not filtered down to the masses, and many physicists. I remember reading somewhere they accept it in the Laboratory, but discard it in their personal lives.
Well they way I view death and eternity, is I've always had the idea that this place is a "vacation" from the continual Now.
If you think about it, it's intriguing. You live in a place where everything happens "instantly". What more would one want?
A "vacation".
-Side note: This has become a mystical discussion, but I don't see anything wrong with it.
