How About This Take on the Hereafter?

[ThePainefulTruth]

It occurred to me that it isn't fair how we look, so when we say beauty is in the mind of the beholder, that we can be beautiful on the inside, do we really mean it. I mean life isn't fair anyway given all the variables we can luck out on in this life, or not.

But say there is a hereafter, existence would be hard to accept if it was suddenly fair. Everyone would be just as beautiful or whatever. What if we could project a physical appearance of our own design? Gender would be irrelevant except maybe for the newly reborn--but that wouldn't last long when it became obvious what was possible. And then consider all the other aspects of existence we could experiment with.

I'm not sure about the breadth or depth of the subject I'm bringing up here, so I'll throw it out there for youse all to crush or expand on or let wither on the vine, as you will.

Well, depending on your belief on Hereafter, it is not just where you would just be beautiful, at least in Islamic perspective and many other religious perspectives.

In Hereafter, it is beyond human imagination capacity to know how nice Heaven will be even with technology.

 

[Subhankar Zac]

When one realises what he or she actually is, physical attributes like gender, sexual orientation, race, color, ethnicity, status and other bodily aspects become irrelevant.
For me, hereafter is rebirth based on karma.
Good ones go to heavenly planets, the ones with passion go to earthly ones n the evil ones fall down into hellish worlds.
And those who realize the self completely and hereby can see the universal reality or God being the universal consciousness that is the living soul of all beings, get liberation from the cycle of birth and death n ceases to exist by merging with Purusha.

I think that could be really cool!

Yeah, and if someone said you were ugly (would people say that there), you could either change, or tell 'em you think it's great and leave it that way for a couple thousand years. All kinds of possibilities, and this doesn't even scratch the surface. Fanciful I know, but some people even say they'd get bored in Paradise.

I like that opinion on the hereafter Jabar.
