Reason why the truth wasn’t written.

[Jimmy]

You see God gave us the Bible and other spiritual books in order to teach us about various things, but the topic that I want to discuss is the afterlife. The story of going to heaven in particular is an easy nice way to tell children about the afterlife instead of telling them about the truth imo. The truth being that once the chosen one dies on earth a.k.a. Gods son or whatever you want to call him is when all of existence will restart and everyone will get to live again. God didn’t put this in the Bible because it sounds too crazy and who wants to talk that way to a child? You see, I believe that God had children in mind regarding such matters. Also, I believe another big reason why the truth wasn’t written is because God would’ve had to reveal this “man” which probably wouldn’t be such a good idea for obvious reasons. All of this is my opinion, of course.

I mean, we’re not gonna sit down with our kids and say now honey there’s a certain man on earth that when he dies, it’s gonna cause all of us to disappear and then existence is going to start from the beginning. lol I don’t think so. Think about it.

The problem of the truth not being written down is something that I run into all the time.

A master might send a letter to the government complaining about the insubordination of the slaves, even to the point of whining about the slaves holding parties and dancing in the master’s house without his permission, and references to the slaves insulting him in their songs in these parties, but for some reason the master neglects to include the lyrics of the songs, so that valuable historical and musical information is lost.

I see there is ample material given so we can embrace the life to come.

The issue is our own awareness, as just as you are not able to explain to a child in the womb, details of this life, the child in the womb does interact with what it feels and hears from this life it is yet to be born into, we have to listen and feel what is coming to us from the next world.

You may not have read all the material yet, maybe you have not pursued NDE stories?

I’m sure the truth is written anywhere, regarding how we got here and where we’re going.

In my experience, truths do not need a human book with alphabetic language to chronicle them. They are written in the bark of trees, the wind and rain of storms, the currents of the water, and the flights of birds.

Cool if you can learn about the afterlife from those things

Fortunately, there are old folk songs in existence that slaves sang while resisting work in the mines.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuumbiaaaaaaaa!

A la Mina No Voy (I’m not going to the mine.)

"A la mina" - Leonor González Mina (La Negra grande de Colombia)​

You can. Watch the life of a tree, from seedling to sapling, from sapling to flowering, from flowering to fruiting. Then, for many seasons, over and over, in perpetual cycle until, over time, something in the rhythms changes. A storm tears at limbs, perhaps, or a fire rages through the now dead heartwood. A disease takes hold, leaves wither. Watch as the tree continues its life long after a human says it has died, with insects crawling through flaking bark, woodpeckers nesting within its bowels, and fungi flourishing on its skin.

It is from watching things like these that I don't really believe in an "after" life. I just see life.

A fun article about the value of standing "dead" trees. I love this guy - he studied forestry too like me where you learn that a tree's "life" does not end when it does. This is also broadly true of living things just in general.

I don't think that is the truth. I don't believe that all of existence will restart whatever happens to the chosen one. Where exactly did you hear that?

Even if they are toppled many trees become nurse logs for an entirely different type of ecosystem experience. I've even seen these nurse logs growing an entirely new tree from it. Wonderful stuff to experience.

Well, I believe death is not the end. It’s cool that you do though.

It came to be many hours after contemplating where we came from and where we’re going

That's not what I said. I don't believe in "beginnings" or "endings" just in general - existence is a continuity of change and transformation. One can mark a "beginning" or "ending" but that's something of a construct. It's all interconnected.

Oh you believe that your atoms go on after death interacting with the world. Gotcha

Any books you might write are also made up of atoms.

Or so I’ve heard from friends who have actually written books.
