Death by Illusion?




We tend to believe that life is a two way street. Facts revealed when you are born, it is also your turn to die. Death has become an adventure after life but not much is known about this phenomena and much more needs to be said about it. I am no expert in either life or death. Just a layman who knows the difference between birth and dying but not sure what happens after death is either real or an illusion or is it both. During our lives we learn the distinction between the past, the present and sometimes the future but is it the future that persistently creates the illusion?

Certainly there may be a chance that death is an illusion. After all, what do we really know about it? We believe in death because that is what we were taught as children growing up. We never thought the opposite was possible because we never gave it a chance to prove itself to be real or unreal. Is death the termination of our life which in every practical way consists of carbon and a mixture of molecules and oxygen? Do we just live for a while and then rot into the earth as ashes to ashes, dust to dust says we do?
Is death composed of space and time? It seems so if we believe the natural laws we learned. Can the properties of our bodies change with space and time? It seems to be logical as we age and lose much of what we had in our younger days. Is there life after death but life as an altered state rather than what we are used to or been taught? Is it possible the laws of nature, the forces that act upon us and the constants unknown of the universe can create another form or existence of life?
It seems until we recognize and understand everything in our universe and change the thinking inside our heads we could begin to understand the reality that life does not end at death but continues a road to somewhere or nowhere.
Do we see what we really see? Can we change what we see by teaching ourselves to think different and over time convince ourselves the sky is not really blue but red? Can you genetically alter the way we do things or perceive things as they are or how we want them to be? Can you brain handle such extremist thought that it too can be altered and made to think different than before?
After all is said we all conclude the truth is inside your head. The truth is how your brain sees things and makes you believe what is false and what is truth. Your brain circuits are programmed to recall memories but it can also be reprogrammed to think differently. Whether this happens in the conscious or unconscious is yet to be determined by we know the brain can change.
We can use our brain effectively but it depends on our senses. The brain can’t see so it depends on our eyes. It cannot hear so it depends on our ears. It cannot feel so it depends on our electronic sensors on our skin to feel. Space and time are all factors in this perception. Change the space and time and you may see, feel or hear things differently than before. It is a strong possibility isn’t it?
The answer is simple, reality is a process that involves your consciousness or awareness of those things around you. If you believe in death then you must admit that time and space no longer matter. Death has no time and space does not exist. You are dead. Unless you believe that death does not exist in a timeless and spaceless world and that changes who we perceive the immortality of man for it doesn’t mean a perpetual existence is time but resides or exists outside of time and space altogether. One could possible believe that we live in two world. The first we know as mortals and the second we know as immortals. The difference being time and space and the reality that one resides outside the other.
