Can you debunk this theory?

Hi Segev....I'll try.....hope this helps.
10x :) I'm sure it will :)
[/QUOTE]
"theory" - it is my theory that our consciousness lives on - through another dimension of time and space. I do not know what or where this place is.....just my 'theory" that it exists. There is evidence available that it does, just not conclusive for mainstream Science to accept.....so they reject it automatically.
Can you point me to sum evidence?
And why is it not accepted by "mainstream" science?
"love light" - IMO - this is how we socially interact - is it thru goodness and kindness or is through hateful actions or criminal actions? This viewpoint is what determines the intensity of a person's "Spirit" (love light).
IMO we never act upon one feeling. We don't act towards someone purely based on love the same as we don't act purely out of hate for example.
It is always a mixture of feelings.
Love - Fear
Hate - Anger
ETC.
I Can't really understand the concept you are presenting.
To me it is clear that those feelings are a part of our interactions with one another (as you suggest), but i do not think they got anything to do with "light" :)
Our feelings are evolution based. it's obvious when you study the behavior of other species we know.

Can you present the "scale" of such light?
- this intensity - IMO (based upon different studies I've done on different, yet similar topics) determines if reincarnation will occur or not.
Have you ever encountered a reincarnated person?
No it's not an "ideology" of mine - it is just theory. Ideologies are misconstrued by many, because they really didn't investigate all the components of the theory. Thus, someone may just think that is what someone believes, without actually receiving the clarification of the topic.
I Didn't mean "Ideology".. I meant and idea as a "Theseus" and not a Theory :)
A theory must be based on evidence that is accessible to anyone and can be shared and tested for its validity.

What makes my unconfirmed statements an "ideology" and not a theory?
See above :)
Just because I make statements upon a topic, don't automatically think that this is my way of life.....
I Agree.
Yes, I do investigate these things, but through skepticism, and doubt,
I find it hard to believe your "life light" is based on a Skeptic POV.
Can you please elaborate about your investigation? ( In a nut shell(ish) :) )
I know when to say "I don't know."
When?
Wow.. of course.. just a few I can think of:

I Don't know what consciousness is.
I Don't know what process initiated life.
I Don't know what happens when you die.
I Don't know What is the cause for this universe
I Don't know if there are aliens

And the list goes on and on.

There are however, some thing that I do know...for example I know that I have yet to encounter anyone or anything that suggested "supernatural" event or ability.
This is what separates those who have an ideology and those who question a phenomenon. If one doesn't not question a phenomenon and outright rejects it as BS, those individuals have concluded on an ideology in bias and without research of their own. I'm definitely not one of those individuals, because I question everything I encounter.
Have you questioned the existence of the "light" you suggested earlier? I Mean that in a sense of how you cam to the Theseus you have about this "love light"?
Christianity is an ideology - an unfounded one at that.
I Agree.
Add the other two "big' religions in there and now you have three unfounded ideologies that have overtaken the minds of men.
There are a few more "big" ones.

The issue with religion is that it is an ideology based on things "outside" our existence. They do however have sort of a foundation.
It is the foundation of thousands of year of Animism, Paganism, and many other "isms" that were unavoidable in ancient times :)
I hope that helped clarify.
Best regards,
Regards for you as well.
10x for your time.
Can't wait for your followup post :)
 
Hi Sergev,

"Can you point me to sum evidence?
And why is it not accepted by "mainstream" science? "
- EVP evidence as recorded on digital devices
- unexplained "theories" are never within the mainstream of Science, because people are afraid to investigate all the aspects of these types of phenomenon.
- Google "EVP" - and you should see something pop up.
- What exactly is evidence? How much evidence is required to make something viable to research? How much evidence is required for a theory to be factual?

"I Can't really understand the concept you are presenting.

Our feelings are evolution based. it's obvious when you study the behavior of other species we know."
- I disagree that feelings are evolved. Most are learned. Granted feelings are part of our emotional tract embedded within our mind, but we learn to love or hate. I hate onions.....but only after I ate them the first time. I've learned to love - in many ways.....it just didn't come to my front door and envelop me.
- You are reading too much into "feelings" and how they are situated within humans.

"Can you present the "scale" of such light?"
- no I cannot....it is only a theory....as I stated.
- Can it be recorded? I doubt it, as this "activity" seems to occur outside human capabilities.
- But you already knew this, huh? And for some reason, think I don't. Odd.

"Have you ever encountered a reincarnated person?"
- Nope....but this story seems to have something we can use as evidence.
Parents Think Boy Is Reincarnated Pilot
- In Hinduism - it is a viable result......but once again, it is in only theory, because there isn't any phsytical proof this event occurs.

"A theory must be based on evidence that is accessible to anyone and can be shared and tested for its validity."
- My theory is accessible to anyone.....and can be shared....and can be tested for its validity.
- You seem to have chosen to deny it automatically.....even after I have now shown you that all three of your components exist within the theory. You are trying to mislead others with unfounded words and opinions.

How about you list a few topics that you think would be involved, and then I will tell you if you are right or wrong, or if they even apply to what you are trying to get me to say. You must have some sort of idea of what is involved, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking me these questions.

Hi Sergev,
Hi :)
- EVP evidence as recorded on digital devices
EVPs can easily be explained.
The thing is people who believe they are indeed supernatural beings recorded on tape, dismisses that fact :)
- unexplained "theories" are never within the mainstream of Science, because people are afraid to investigate all the aspects of these types of phenomenon.
There is an endless study of everything we CAN study. Science from the beginning of time is trying to explain and find a proof to any of those suggestions.
So far, none have popped :)
- Google "EVP" - and you should see something pop up.
Thanks :)
- What exactly is evidence? How much evidence is required to make something viable to research? How much evidence is required for a theory to be factual?
Until the counter evidence appears.
Every theory is correct only if there is a way to prove it wrong.

When a theory is proven wrong, there is no way to suddenly prove it is right again.
You have to let go of the theory, and find another one that explains things and the thing that just proved wrong the predecessor.
How can one prove your "love light" wrong?
Exactly :)
How can one prove God wrong?
How can one prove Neptune wrong?
How can one prove that there are no 5 headed creatures that live among us in a parallel dimension, and in fact, we are no really us rather puppets of each of those creatures?

As long is there is no way to prove it wrong, it cannot be an actual theory.
- I disagree that feelings are evolved. Most are learned.
Exactly. (I would even say All, not most)
Granted feelings are part of our emotional tract embedded within our mind, but we learn to love or hate. I hate onions.....but only after I ate them the first time. I've learned to love - in many ways.....it just didn't come to my front door and envelop me.
You've learned to love? What does it mean?
As i see it, the learning is passed from generation to generation.
- You are reading too much into "feelings" and how they are situated within humans.
I Actually find feelings quite fascinating :)
Would you imagine feelings is something that evolves? The next generations will probably have a different set of "feelings" :)
I Find that extra ordinary :) yet completely makes sense.
- no I cannot....it is only a theory....as I stated.
In order for it to be a theory, don't you have to provide some way to validate that theory?
- Can it be recorded? I doubt it, as this "activity" seems to occur outside human capabilities.
Infra red as well ;)
When the theory of infra red light was presented, it had many evidence and measurements to support it.
- But you already knew this, huh? And for some reason, think I don't. Odd.
nope.
- Nope....but this story seems to have something we can use as evidence.

It sounds like you know my entire educational past :)
I Actually come from a family who is very spiritual and most of my relatives actually practice spiritual activities.
I Have red, read and probably will read more about many spiritual and supernatural concepts.
I Actually try and study as much as I can about any topic I encounter.
My questions are to try and understand what you suggested and not in the means of harm.
Sorry if you saw it like that.

I Have a Rei-Ki level 2 "diploma".
I practiced "Tarrot".
I went to countless of spiritual workshops.

Thorough my endless search to learn more and more, I just recently (5~ years) came to realize how wrong my POV about life was.
Thanks for reading my post....and the follow up!
No no... Thank you ;)

Hi all... First: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS THREAD DEALS WITH A MOVIE CALLED "THE DISCOVERY". THIS THREAD WILL RUIN YOUR MOVIE IF YOU READ IT, PLEASE CONTINUE WHILE UNDERSTANDING THAT.


If you haven't seen the movie, I really recommend it. Its quite intriguing.


so I assume if your indeed reading this, you either saw the movie or don't care about spoilers :)
In a nut shell, the movie presents a very interesting theory that the afterlife is not really an afterlife, rather a person kind of "resets" its life to the most recent point that he regrets the most and so it continues until he finally is able to choose differently. than, he moves to another regret point and thus it continues for many times.

I would love to here a theistic POV regarding this notion of after life and do you see it as a Godly doing or not?

Cheers.

I believe it doesn't work because people are not in complete control of their afterlife. A person dies and then God judges what should happen next.

No no... Thank you ;)

Since it seems futile for me to answer every point you made, I guess we can over a period of time. So thanks for the discussion.

Let me start off with this....just so you don't think I am some crazy poster without any background.

Although I have not practiced Rei-Ki, but I am familiar with the set-up. In fact, I used to and still do every once in the while, read Tarot. I started in 1995 and did it ritualistically for about 4-5 years. Within that period of time, I also learned Numerology, because of the close relationship to the Tarot it plays.

In truth, I'm Agnostic, with a slight lean on the Spiritual, so I have a fairly good knowledge basis of anything paranormal, supernatural, pseudo-sciences, and many religious rituals and beliefs.

I've study Christianity until I could do so no more.
I've study Shamanism and the Spiritual relationshipm of the Pre-Columbian cultures, including the Maya, the Inca, the Aztecs, and even ventured to utilize the Hopi Indians and other SW American Indian cultures (the spiritual side) to compare and inform myself on the many differences these peoples have had.

I've study fundamental quantum physics to better understand that level of Science, although I am not a good math person by any stretch of the means.

I've studied the UFO phenomenon, ghosts, spirits, spirit orbs, EVPs and the many, many aspects of "ghost hunting"....but have yet to embark upon one of my own.

I've read the Hindu Sanskrit, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the Tibet Book of the Dead. I've learned to understand how people transited the globe in "pre-history", as well as tried to understand the Sumerian cuneiform texts.

I've studied and learned a lot since I embarked upon this journey since I was 16.

Do I honestly think/believe/perceive that another "spiritual dimension" exists? I do. Can I prove it? Not yet.

I disagree with you that video and electronic evidence of the supernatural is not evidence. It is. IMO - many people refuse to accept this evidence, because there is not set laws for them to be categorized under. I also believe that Science will have the last say on if there is another dimension outside the known four.....the theory exists, but unfortunately, I'm no scientists or even have a scientific degree. I'm actually a nobody living in Albuquerque, NM with a drive to understand this mystery.

In truth, I've had one personal experience with the supernatural, after a 9 hour hour surgery to remove a cancer I had. Was I hallucinating? Was it the drugs I was on?

Could be. But also it could not be.

Have I been able to duplicate this moment? No. But I've tried.

IMO - the spiritual world has "rules" of sorts that do not correlate with current "earthly" properties or laws.
- They can see us, we cannot see them, unless our mind or the existing environment has some sort of outside interaction involved.
- My experience was only for about 10 second, if that....and there were five other people in the room. I asked all of them who their friend was and pointed to some gent near the door. They all looked at me as if I was crazy. I saw what I did and there will be no one to tell me otherwise. That was in 1995. I've made it my mission to understand what I have.

So in summary - I can go on some extensive dialogue on what can not be proven, but you and I both know that the absence of evidence - in which the paranormal does have evidence that exists - is not a final conclusion that what is being investigated is not true, just because it lacks evidence.
- Clearly you dismiss new fossils being found that were unknown to man previously, right? And sometimes those are not found for MILLIONS of years, but finally discovered.
- Or even soft tissue in dinosaur bones that have been petrified.

from the article.....and if you think about it.....dismisses your "theory" or hypothesis....

"The problem is, for 300 years, we thought, 'Well, the organics are all gone, so why should we look for something that's not going to be there?' and nobody looks," she said."

Controversial T. Rex Soft Tissue Find Finally Explained

So in truth, and not to be disrespectful....you've come to a conclusion that you cannot support. Oh, you will say that you don't have the details, and I agree, but please don't erroneously start saying that things are not true, when you cannot prove that they are not true, especially when we both know that things can and do stay hidden from human eyes and senses for many, many years.

Many scientists and others like you "don't know".....and actually disregard the "I don't know" issue, to say what you have....."there is no evidence"....or some other deflecting phrase.

I know many things regarding these "pseudo-sciences".....and I also know many scientists are or have actively also researched this field.

Dr. Raymond Moody's 1970's book "Life After Life" is a great example of Science investigating the paranormal. Are you going to say this guy was not a viable researcher?
Amazon.com: Life After Life: The Bestselling Original Investigation That Revealed "Near-Death Experiences" (9780062428905): Raymond Moody: Books

What about Dr. William Tiller's work with light and energy emissions we humans produce?
https://www.amazon.com/Science-Human-Transformation-Intentionality-Consciousness/dp/0964263742

Like I have stated....I could give you explanation after explanation, and try to answer your questions upon questions......but why? What will that do for your life? Will it change it to believe what I do?

Probably not.

Will it cause you more questions? Probably so.

Will you work through the questions and try to find an answer? I don't know if you will. If you say you have been involved with "spirituality" and had to ask me what "love light" is, well, you sound spurious with doing so.....as you would have been in contact with that terminology.

In truth Sergev, I really don't need to explain myself, because it is my life and journey I've taken, and we all have different paths to follow seeking what we think is the truth.

Is my search definitive? No it isn't, nor will it ever be.......because I already know that I will find my answers.....when I die.

:eek:)

And no...I am not out to get to that point anytime soon. I prefer to have fun looking at and better understanding that which I do not know......thus am still seeking the truth.

Now you also know why I reject emphatically the religious systems of the world. They lie to their followers and IMO - quite incomplete on what they should be teaching.

Thanks again for responding and I apologize for not answering all of your points.....but hopefully gave you a synopsis of why I ask the questions I do, or make the statements I have.

I believe it doesn't work because people are not in complete control of their afterlife. A person dies and then God judges what should happen next.
You can't debunk a theory by presenting another one that doesn't present why the first theory cannot be true.
It will be like asking:

Can you show the theory of the expanding universe is false?
and answering with:
Yes, The universe is not expanding.

New Age writes:

I disagree that "God" judges.

According to many individuals who have had Near-Death Experiences, well, they say the only judgment that occurs is us judging our own lives and what had occurred.

If you had researched this line of thinking before you expressed what you have, you wouldn't have expressed what you have at all. Shoot - you have probably never died to justify anything you say to be true.

You speculate with a pension to make it sound true. You are misleading other people from actually finding the facts for themselves.

Correct yourself or be prepared to be continuously corrected.

Exceptional Experiences

4174. Diana H NDE 7/2/2016. NDE 8034. My next realization was that I was no longer frightened about not being able to breathe on my own. I was at peace and very aware of the steps the doctors and nurses were taking to save my life. I understood all the terms they were using and could comprehend that I was not alive as far as they were concerned. I became aware of is the state of each person's relationship with others in the room. >>>>There were suddenly no secrets and yet, there was no judgment on my part, but rather an unconditional love.<<<< I felt very much loved at this time and I wanted to extend that to the others in the room. But they could not hear me.
NDE due to complication of pregnancy.

******************************

3304. Jeffery O NDE 3/31/2013. NDE 6660. I left my body at the scene of the accident and visited another realm of light, where I was told by my own deceased wife that I must return to my oldest son who also survived the accident. As I returned to my body, I had profound experiences with the living people I encountered. All judgment was lost as I saw others for who they really are through God's eyes.
Profound NDE due to car crash. Encountered wife and son who died in the same car crash (shared NDE).

****************************
3098. Lori E STE/SOBE 5/1/2012. STE, SOBE 22717. There to my left on a screen was my life. I could see it! Me! I saw and felt all of my choices in this lifetime. There was absolutely NO judgment attached to it. None. I wasn't judging my life, I was simply seeing it. To the right it was dark, dim. I ‘felt’ like the right side was reserved for when I actually did physically die. I would be privy to it then. It contained all the possibilities of all the angles of all the decisions I had made, played out in a different realm. As if, let's say, I had decided not to get married when I did. What my life would have been—and it actually was played out, but not in a physical way. It was still acted out. It was all the ‘probables’ in life. I asked, in thought, or feeling, not with my voice, why I was here. I was told that it was because I had asked to be there. I knew this voice, as it was comforting and familiar and yet I knew it was God. How was that possible? I immediately questioned the voice about its being female. I had always envisioned ‘God’ to be male. I had expected to be greeted in a male voice. I was shocked to hear/feel that I had chosen this voice, because it was MINE! It was MY voice! I suddenly knew that I was part of the universe.
This is a MUST READ. Among the most remarkable spiritual experiences ever received. SOBE with stunning spiritual insights.

While it was a collaborative process, I had deep respect and reverence for these beings. >>>>>I felt that they loved me completely and without any judgment.<<<< In psychology there's a term to describe this called 'unconditional positive regard.'

Hi all... First: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS THREAD DEALS WITH A MOVIE CALLED "THE DISCOVERY". THIS THREAD WILL RUIN YOUR MOVIE IF YOU READ IT, PLEASE CONTINUE WHILE UNDERSTANDING THAT.


If you haven't seen the movie, I really recommend it. Its quite intriguing.


so I assume if your indeed reading this, you either saw the movie or don't care about spoilers :)
In a nut shell, the movie presents a very interesting theory that the afterlife is not really an afterlife, rather a person kind of "resets" its life to the most recent point that he regrets the most and so it continues until he finally is able to choose differently. than, he moves to another regret point and thus it continues for many times.

I would love to here a theistic POV regarding this notion of after life and do you see it as a Godly doing or not?

Cheers.


The Discovery (film) - Wikipedia

After seeing these, I think it is some sort of reincarnation or something.

When we die, we are done for.

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27

On the trailer, an actor said he killed himself again. We only die once - but we will live twice, the other life is eternal - shame or life.

Since it seems futile for me to answer every point you made, I guess we can over a period of time. So thanks for the discussion.
Pleasure :) Thanks to you too.
Let me start off with this....just so you don't think I am some crazy poster without any background.
I Didn't, but fair enough

Although I have not practiced Rei-Ki, but I am familiar with the set-up. In fact, I used to and still do every once in the while, read Tarot. ...
And what is your take on the Tarot cards? do you think its a spiritual thing?
In truth, I'm Agnostic, with a slight lean on the Spiritual, so I have a fairly good knowledge basis of anything paranormal, supernatural, pseudo-sciences, and many religious rituals and beliefs.
Can you be a bit more specific? what does a "lean" to the spiritual?
It interests you or you mean to you have some belief that spirituality is true?
I've study Christianity...(Had to remove the rest due to lack of characters space :)
I Appreciate that. I wish all people took the time to learn before deciding about what is right or wrong.
I've study fundamental quantum physics...
Great!
You don't need to be a good scientist to understand physics.
But It sounds to me that you are on the right track to being a skeptic.
I've studied the UFO phenomenon,...
And whats you take on UFOs?
Do you believe the stories are true?
I've read the Hindu Sanskrit, the Egyptian Book of the Dead...
Interesting :)
Do I honestly think/believe/perceive that another "spiritual dimension" exists? I do. Can I prove it? Not yet.
It kind of contradicts you being a skeptic, doesn't it?
I disagree with you that video and electronic evidence of the supernatural is not evidence. It is.
It is an evidence! but not for a spiritual realm and certainly not for a god of sort.
IMO - many people refuse to accept this evidence, because there is not set laws for them to be categorized under.
can you elaborate?
I also believe that Science will have the last say on if there is another dimension outside the known four.....
I Can't see how it can be any other way :)
the theory exists, but unfortunately, I'm no scientists or even have a scientific degree.
You are a scientist. I just don't think you realize that :)
You don't need a scientific degree to be a scientist.
I'm actually a nobody living in Albuquerque, NM with a drive to understand this mystery.
I Really hope this is not really what you think.
Why would you say you are a nobody?
In truth, I've had one personal experience with the supernatural, after a 9 hour hour surgery to remove a cancer I had. Was I hallucinating? Was it the drugs I was on?

Could be. But also it could not be.
It probably was :)
Have I been able to duplicate this moment? No. But I've tried.
Care to reveal how?
(I've tried some crazy things in the days to try and find any proof (to myself) of anything supernatural.
So far.. Nada :)
IMO - the spiritual world has "rules" of sorts that do not correlate with current "earthly" properties or laws.
- They can see us, we cannot see them,...
Yet you didn't it seems?
Can I ask you what makes you believe this "rules" idea you have?
Is it something that is based on actual findings or just a "hunch"?
So in summary - I can go on some extensive dialogue on what can not be proven, but you and I both know that the absence of evidence - in which the paranormal does have evidence that exists - is not a final conclusion that what is being investigated is not true, just because it lacks evidence.
I Agree.
If that was the case, humanity would be still stuck in the stone ages ;)
I Don't agree however, that there has been even one evidence to support anything supernatural.
And I think that is the big difference.
The fact is, that anything that was considered supernatural until today, was ALWAYS proven to be something natural that was misunderstood or "wishfully" thought to be supernatural.
So while it is true one cannot say there is no way supernatural things are possible, it is a wrong way of looking at things.
You must have at least a small basis to your claims, or else, what good are they?
That's why i am intrigued to understand your "theory".
- Clearly you dismiss new fossils being found that were unknown to man previously, right? And sometimes those are not found for MILLIONS of years, but finally discovered.
Why would I dismiss it?
As long as all the measurements, test and examinations support that the fossil is genuine, why shouldn't I believe it?
- Or even soft tissue in dinosaur bones that have been petrified.
Again, you are wrong :)
from the article.....and if you think about it.....dismisses your "theory" or hypothesis....
??
"The problem is, for 300 years, we thought, 'Well, the organics are all gone, so why should we look for something that's not going to be there?' and nobody looks," she said."

Controversial T. Rex Soft Tissue Find Finally Explained

So in truth, and not to be disrespectful....you've come to a conclusion that you cannot support. Oh, you will say that you don't have the details, and I agree...
When did I say something is not true?
Saying something is not probable, doesn't mean it is not true, it means it is not probable.
I Don't claim your theory is not true. I claim your theory is not based on any valid information, thus it cannot be perceived as true.
Many scientists and others like you "don't know".....and actually disregard the "I don't know" issue, to say what you have....."there is no evidence"....or some other deflecting phrase.
Of course. This is how it works.
When you don't know something, its because you lack the VALID information about it.

If I told you that yesterday I teleported my self to the moon, would you believe me?
What if I present you with other people saying the exact same thing? will you believe me then?
I know many things regarding these "pseudo-sciences".....and I also know many scientists are or have actively also researched this field.

Dr. Raymond Moody's 1970's book "Life After Life" is a great example of Science investigating the paranormal. Are you going to say this guy was not a viable researcher?
I Haven't red this bool i think, so icannot tell you what I think about it.
I have red a book called "proof of heaven" for example, written by a neurosurgeon.
And although the man is clearly a scientist in his way of thinking, when dealing with the "heaven" issue, suddenly the scientific way of life goes out the window.
His book portraits lovely descriptions of his NDE, yet all of them were taking place in his own mind.
He then presents other stories of people describing similar things.
I Wonder if he would believe things that lack evidence if it was not dealing with the spiritual realms.

What about Dr. William Tiller's work with light and energy emissions we humans produce?
https://www.amazon.com/Science-Human-Transformation-Intentionality-Consciousness/dp/0964263742
Can you send me links to other scientist that support the claims of this book?
Can you present some trials to debunk his theories made by himself?
Like I have stated....I could give you explanation after explanation, and try to answer your questions upon questions......but why? What will that do for your life? Will it change it to believe what I do?
If you'll present logical and valid answers to my question, it is very probable i will at least wish to study more of it.
If you'll keep presenting me with actual answers, that are based on actual examinations of our reallity, then I will probably believe you if it seems to validate :)
Probably not.
see above :)
Will it cause you more questions? Probably so.
For sure.
I love asking questions (as you probably noticed ;) )
Will you work through the questions and try to find an answer? I don't know if you will.
If I will be provided with some "legit" basic ground to your theory, than I'll probably will.
If you say you have been involved with "spirituality" and had to ask me what "love light" is, well, you sound spurious with doing so.....as you would have been in contact with that terminology.
Of course I ask you.

If I told you, for example, that I have discovered the spiritual chord that connects humans to each other.
Would you imminently understand what I mean by "spiritual chord" ?
(I hope not.. as it can mean thousand different things)

When you build a theory, the first and most important thing to do , is to define what it is your theory tries to prove.
In truth Sergev,
Segev :)
No R ;)
I really don't need to explain myself,
Of course you don't.
You don't need to do anything you don't want.
because it is my life and journey I've taken, and we all have different paths to follow seeking what we think is the truth.
Agree.
You can believe whatever makes you feel good.
I Am just trying to figure out what it is you believe in.
Is my search definitive? No it isn't, nor will it ever be.......because I already know that I will find my answers.....when I die.
Lol.
Good for you :)
Me, I'll probably just cease to exist :)
And no...I am not out to get to that point anytime soon. I prefer to have fun looking at and better understanding that which I do not know......thus am still seeking the truth.
Same
Now you also know why I reject emphatically the religious systems of the world. They lie to their followers and IMO - quite incomplete on what they should be teaching.
I Agree.
Thanks again for responding and I apologize for not answering all of your points.....but hopefully gave you a synopsis of why I ask the questions I do, or make the statements I have.
Thank you for taking the time to answer again :)

It is not.
The idea is that we have parallel timelines (that happen on another dimension).
The theory here is that you "mind" is being transferred to a different timeline(dimension).
That is why there are tiny changes like the tattoo on the arm and such.
You are not being reincarnated to the same timeline rather to a sort of a "parallel universe" for the sake of simplicity.
When we die, we are done for.
Unless we are not ;)

In the movie he doesn't really die. he is having a "NDE". he then wakes up in the movie's timeline and remembers nothing.

You can't debunk a theory by presenting another one that doesn't present why the first theory cannot be true.
It will be like asking:

Can you show the theory of the expanding universe is false?
and answering with:
Yes, The universe is not expanding.

I believe I was responding to this statement "in a nut shell, the movie presents a very interesting theory that the afterlife is not really an afterlife, rather a person kind of "resets" its life to the most recent point that he regrets the most and so it continues until he finally is able to choose differently."

However you are right that I was providing acounter theory that has evidence while the movies theory does not.

Muffled said:
I believe it doesn't work because people are not in complete control of their afterlife. A person dies and then God judges what should happen next.

New Age writes:

I disagree that "God" judges.

According to many individuals who have had Near-Death Experiences, well, they say the only judgment that occurs is us judging our own lives and what had occurred.

If you had researched this line of thinking before you expressed what you have, you wouldn't have expressed what you have at all. Shoot - you have probably never died to justify anything you say to be true.

You speculate with a pension to make it sound true. You are misleading other people from actually finding the facts for themselves.

Correct yourself or be prepared to be continuously corrected.

Exceptional Experiences

4174. Diana H NDE 7/2/2016. NDE 8034. My next realization was that I was no longer frightened about not being able to breathe on my own. I was at peace and very aware of the steps the doctors and nurses were taking to save my life. I understood all the terms they were using and could comprehend that I was not alive as far as they were concerned. I became aware of is the state of each person's relationship with others in the room. >>>>There were suddenly no secrets and yet, there was no judgment on my part, but rather an unconditional love.<<<< I felt very much loved at this time and I wanted to extend that to the others in the room. But they could not hear me.
NDE due to complication of pregnancy.

******************************

3304. Jeffery O NDE 3/31/2013. NDE 6660. I left my body at the scene of the accident and visited another realm of light, where I was told by my own deceased wife that I must return to my oldest son who also survived the accident. As I returned to my body, I had profound experiences with the living people I encountered. All judgment was lost as I saw others for who they really are through God's eyes.
Profound NDE due to car crash. Encountered wife and son who died in the same car crash (shared NDE).

****************************
3098. Lori E STE/SOBE 5/1/2012. STE, SOBE 22717. There to my left on a screen was my life. I could see it! Me! I saw and felt all of my choices in this lifetime. There was absolutely NO judgment attached to it. None. I wasn't judging my life, I was simply seeing it. To the right it was dark, dim. I ‘felt’ like the right side was reserved for when I actually did physically die. I would be privy to it then. It contained all the possibilities of all the angles of all the decisions I had made, played out in a different realm. As if, let's say, I had decided not to get married when I did. What my life would have been—and it actually was played out, but not in a physical way. It was still acted out. It was all the ‘probables’ in life. I asked, in thought, or feeling, not with my voice, why I was here. I was told that it was because I had asked to be there. I knew this voice, as it was comforting and familiar and yet I knew it was God. How was that possible? I immediately questioned the voice about its being female. I had always envisioned ‘God’ to be male. I had expected to be greeted in a male voice. I was shocked to hear/feel that I had chosen this voice, because it was MINE! It was MY voice! I suddenly knew that I was part of the universe.
This is a MUST READ. Among the most remarkable spiritual experiences ever received. SOBE with stunning spiritual insights.

I believe the Bible supports the concept of reincarnation and certainly it reports the resurrection as a form of one.

One can only debunk something that has been somewhat substantiated to begin with.

This thread is like me asking if anyone can debunk the movie Avatar...
