that'd be nice

Tool is a great band.

That could be very true, it's hard to say, I believe in reincarnation, it just feels right to me, but you could also be right, who knows.

I'm all for recycling.

I've comed to think think it is just another form of existence. Not so much reincarnation, I can't explain it but it's like being spread out everywhere. I wish I had the words to say what I mean

that's nice..

i think we always have changes of consciusness but we are not aware...it's very like the teachings of don juean books...mybe you'll like them

To quote John Lennon:

"I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another."

But even so, we can't forget to:

"Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing." -you know where that's from.

hmmmm.....i hope not!!!! This existence is so bad....i couldn't stomach another!!

I spend a lot of time thinking about that, and writing about it. If anything, I'm not afraid of death anymore.

Well, I think you're right even from a traditional Christian perspective. I'm Christian myself and that's one thing that people don't get is that your death isn't really a death at all.

I don't know if I would call it a transition of consciousness, if it were as simple as that then it would be something you could obtain through another medium. The act of death is an extreme transitional state, whether it be from a horrible accident or the exhaustion of being old succumbing to death is a shock and often a violent one. So recycled might be a good term seeing as how the transition requires the destruction of your previous form.

I have very similar view points on that.
