Technology can only extend life.

Currently this is the case, but as technology advances at the perpetual rate at which it is increasing. I see no reason to believe that it couldn't maintain existence for at least as long as the universe is around, and can sustain the technology.

There's far more involved in this than you know.

We are in agreement here, there are many things I don't understand. Else why would I be here investigating an area in which I highly disagree and lack understanding. To learn as much as I possibly can.

Consider reincarnation, you can return again.

Perhaps one can reincarnate in another life. The only problem I have with this is that I wouldn't want the memories of who I am now to fade more than they do, or even become near non-existent. I feel like the idea of reincarnation is letting go of a large chunk of who I am, as in the progression of events that have led up to the person typing this message at this moment.

Consider the future being able to fix the past by saving everyone. They may save someone who kills them before they saved everyone.
A corrupt timeline?

There is many different ways of looking at time travel. I think the reason we haven't seen any time travellers is because its not possible. I think paradoxes are impossible, and if time looped then paradoxes would be a reality. Unless when something or someone went back into time, they simply formed a parallel time line. So for example the Grandpa paradox that everyone likes to bring up. If you went back and say killed your grandpa before he had a chance to ever have your father, than you wouldn't disappear. You would simply be existing in a time line where you would never be born.

Also I don't think people truly take the butterfly effect into full account. You could probably go back in time a year before you were born, wave your hands in the air, and that would likely be more than enough to prevent you from being born. If you didn't keep a connection to the time line with which you came from, you wouldn't be able to get back to it. It would become unreachable.

When I say go back and save someone, I was thinking more of in the sense of right when the person passed away. In the nearish future, we will have the ability to have computers that can scan and simulate all of the functions of the human brain. So to save someone, just simply go back scan their brain, then upload them into the future. After that simply let them decide what they want to do from there.

I thought I might enter into this conversation to give a different angle. You see I am one of the such people who doesn't believe there is some sort of afterlife, but that doesn't mean I rule out the possibility. I honestly want to life forever, I guess I would call myself a trans-humanist. If I passed away and happened upon some form of an afterlife, I would be absolutely overjoyed. Every moment of existing is something to be cherished. When someone I know passes away, I grieve, and let time be the healer of wounds.

I guess my idea or hope is that if time travel was possible. The people of the future would have the ability, and desire to reach back, and save everyone. I suppose that is my current hope for something that could be after death. But as of now, I don't feel that anything that I have read or researched has been convincing enough to convince me there is life after death. So I will remain anxious for the advancement of technology in prolonging life.

Hey I just had that same experience excluding the noises part. I just made my arms go numb while relaxing in an attempt my attempt to WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dream).

So I was looking for an old video I watched a long time ago on youtube. I remember it had something like sunny day in hell or something like that in the description. I was some comedic satire mocking the idea of a hell. Anyway that is not what this post is all about. In my search I eventually came across a video that poked out to me, mostly because the account name had wulf in it, and I typically put wulf in all my account names. Khedwulf Greywar was the name in the account. Anyway I thought the name was cool, so I clicked on the video. There was several almost terrible sounding, but decent metal songs on the channel. Being bored, and having nothing better to do, I did a google search on the name Khedwulf Greywar and found this.

A description of some intense OOBE, so I thought I would share it here. Enjoy

I am someone who is very sceptical when it comes to things of a supernatural, or metaphysical nature. Don't worry though I'm not here to argue, or debate with everyone, but I will admit that I am not a believer in anything of a spiritual nature. My reason for coming here is to find ways to gain better control over my own physiology through meditative techniques such as meditation, or lucid dreaming. I mean if a Tibetan monk can increase there body temperature with training, then why couldn't someone increase say there visual frame rate, or maybe even cause an adrenaline release mentally. I don't expect to find ways of developing super powers by any means, just hopefully ways by which to gain more mental control over my own physiology if I can.

I do have a background with astral projection. Several years back I experimented with it. I got to the point where I could easily reach sleep paralysis by simply laying down relaxing, and focusing on the vibration sensation that would slowly consume me. Except when it came to separating, I couldn't ever do it. I tried everything from the role out technique to the pulling myself out from a rope, to simply attempting to teleport out. One day I finally got up walked to the front door of my house and froze inside of the door as I tried to pass through it. I remember seeing the wooden grains within the door. I teleported back to my body, and that was the last time I was ever able to reach even a state of sleep paralysis.

One might ask how I could not believe in anything supernatural after such an experience. I have no reason to explain this other than my belief simply faded away. I was serving a mission for the church I was raised in when this happened. Definitely not an opportune time to start to doubt. I remember feeling like it was restricting my mind, my imagination. I am a maladaptive daydreamer, I can easily sit and daydream for an entire day if I'm not careful. And where I am capable of daydreaming that much, I guess theological ideas that cause me to filter my imagination came to be a large conflict. Combine that with a strict rule set of only being permitted to read a handful of books, along with no television, internet, or communication with family and friends except through weekly emails. My imagination was a heck of allot more active at that time because It became my only real form of entertainment. So I began fighting the believe with which I was raised up in. I began to see inconsistencies in its concepts and dogma. It wasn't as flawless as I had always thought it was. It was a devastating experience, but one that I am glad I went through, as it made me who I am now, and it set my mind free.

Anyway now that I am on my fourth paragraph, I should probably tie this littleish intro up. I hope to participate in some fun dialogue with people, and hopefully not butt heads with too many of you. So.. yeah, Hello Everyone
