Re: What is Life?

So now I will restate. Responsible for what?
For what you impose to existence. For example: you just typed in words that did not exist a few minutes ago. You are responsible for that action imposed to existence; every one of them.


You made a choice to ‘do’ something. A rock cannot, a dog is simply reactive (instinctive) but a person can reason and think before, during and after an action is imposed to existence.

Quote:
A choice in what?
I don’t know what you mean here;


Maybe how each moment of action is a choice?

Maybe choosing a belief of structure? I say only one choice matters, be honest and then to seek knowledge, then each action can have a reasoned assessment before each action.

For example; a kid with a gun…. Most little people do not realize how much absolution that thing can cause, so as time moves forward and they learn, then he can be responsible for what he/she does with the action or usage of that gun.

So to simply make a choice to be honest is not the full picture, as to interact, then a responsibility behind each action is require (see any community) and in all cases to understand the rules is necessary. But never in existence have the rules to ‘how the universe’ actually works, been perfected. So in order for a complete understanding be pure to existence, reality and the truth, then the rules must comply to all things in nature.

What happens after we die is conjecture
Not really….. to say anything about having a spiritual life (with memories and thoughts) after death is where the conjecture (opinions) run rampant. These are what people want to believe and millennium of religious teachings has filled that very need ……. But no single religion has perfected the knowledge of life (in physical application) or how life interacts at the literal sense.


Where is the conjecture in observing an ‘after life’ as being what you do?

Meaning in a physical fact, if you give a portion of your seed to combine and make a baby, a portion of your light (life) is in fact, alive within that child.

Where is the conjecture in knowing that if you take the care and plant a seed for a tree, in good soil and with good water, that you know that ‘life’ may continue well past your physical death.

That to contribute your time to teach a child how to tie his shoes or even how to fish, that even when you are no longer there, that mind has thoughts and knowledge based on your contribution.

How or where is the conjecture in these physical truths?
