GENIUS FORUMS

Ardy. So, my question is: What happens to us when we die? Where does the energy that makes us up go? Where do we go? I'm content with a non-romantic answer that we dissipate into en ether and that is it. And I'm with you, it's disheartening when people construct their own truths based merely on fear...

Ardy, what a great subject. When I died briefly last year, I experienced "nothing" also. But, my memory of the event was clouded by alcohol and prescription drugs. Of course, when one is dead why can we assume that memories are possible. I, like many people here, agree that we came from so...

Once I was in a bathroom with a mirror in back of me. I turned to look at the image of my backside. It was not true.

Also, if your genius is ascribed to one type of intelligence, do you find yourself using your genius in that one type of...

I've heard that we're not too far from being able to upload our consciousness to a substance with greater durability than our withering brains. Just think of the implications of a new world that can allow our consciousnesses to live forever without the strife that we endure as human beings. I imagin...

Thanks for your thoughtful replies.

Are you God? Am I God? Imagine that there is no God outside ourselves, but instead you and I and everyone we know are God. Of course we all originated from something in some type of beginning, I mean, before we became the humans that we are, right? Or, have we all been floating around in the univers...
