What does everyone think of this?

[Summerlander]

Pain is only a temporary state.  It eventually gives way to the passing, which is, in my opinion at least, most joyous.

Absolutely ^^

If we are talking about physical pain here, when the brain stops working at death, sensory receptors are no longer being stimulated. Therefore, pain is not processed.

[ether2]

Also, and this one is for ether2...read The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Death doesn't have to be a terrifying experience. the book is all about preparing you to be in a good frame of mind prior to your death. Many people are reported to die peacefully and with a smile on their faces. It is usually the ones who have let go of everything and encourage the ones who cry for them to do the same.

what...how did i get involved in that one
i don't read books man...truths up their

good luck

truths up their

Up their what?

[SomeRandom]

Death is only terrifying or painful, because your ANIMAL instincts are warning you to survive.

Learn to control your mind.

[Summerlander]

BINGO!^^

And may I add...it is attachment and fear (also the fear of losing something) that creates pain.

[Stookie_]

Hawking was speaking so generally. I assume he's mostly talking about organized religion. In that manner, he's generally right. The majority are afraid of death, afraid of failure, afraid of being poor, etc. and these fears cause them to not try, not succeed, not have goals (or pitiful goals), join religions, stay in bad jobs, and basically have a crappy/mediocre life until they're facing their fear of death in the face after doing their best to ignore it their whole lives.

Of course, there are those of us with experience who have a much better idea of what exists than Hawking can imagine himself. He has reason to be bitter and not believe in anything else. Just look at him.

If anyone is offended by what he said, that's their hang-up, not his problem. I've been called much worse. This month alone.

[Summerlander]

I'm not offended by what he said at all. I just think he once again showed us how ignorant he can be. Ignorant in the true sense of the word with no intention to insult. He ignores many potential leads. On the other hand, if he was talking about religion in general, he could have mentioned that. Even I would support him. But then again, I'm not sure the rest of the world would and perhaps that's why he didn't name names. All in all...it was a muffled statement.

[personalreality]

i have always wondered what his mental state was like.  it has to be horribly frustrating to have the kind of brain that he has, constantly spitting out numbers and huge thoughts, but not being able to speak or write.  having to rely 100% on dictation through a slow and tedious process that often requires his assistant to almost predict what he's about to say.  that's gotta be torture.

he is a OBe/projection guru man... as he has said that his mind is free

Stephen Hawkings? You sure?

It would do him some good though. He needs to come here.

1st Noble Truth of Buddhism, as I am sure you intended.

Hard to ascertain how true it is, as its fullest truth would partially depend on whether karma and reincarnation were true, since if they were not, then there would be much pain in a person's life they could not be responsible for, but on the whole I think spot on.

[Szaxx]

Hi All,
Ok on this, if the afterlife exists then the akashic records may do too. This would allow for an enlightened few the power to accurately predict in the physical world say an aircraft crashing. The sights from the ground before impact, the emotions in those passengers knowing their doom. Also how the scene looks after impact, the cause of it. Then the sadness and sorrow of all the relatives, feeling their loss, all of them at the same time.
Say that this IS real, how would this stand in the probability of there being a further  development of existence.
I'll be very interested in any views on this.

i'll elaborate and help you low/mid CIA secret agents out > <

do ya self a favour and look up to see if their is/was a law against world peace...ya CIA...someone i stated in the PM led me to believe their was such a law at that time along time ago (could of been a trick to slow individuals down...fair...economy/energy)

think about all the speculation of USA orchestrated terroism to generate fear, whats fear=emotions=energy just like you do (raise energy) to do ya little mind activities...you agree the world/s system/s require energy that happen to come from people's emotions which are the emotions we don't like fear/devastated/trauma and what not...agree?...as nobody seems to want to argue this point on this site...fair i would'nt either as it clearly makes sense...i did'nt argue when i first learnt this being involved with the mind and what not
but the world needs emotions=energy to run the world systems and excrement loads of it
now most world smartest people are involved in the economy to a degree... yeah... becoming/being one of the smartest people in the world puts you in this position as with being one of the smartest in the world your advice in heavily considered, the world runs on advice...as the smartest people in the world are obviously smart and only gain this by commitment/passion=caring they would obviously put their two cents in as to what they think about the world this includes povert/war and what not so for these people that are not already in the know of the energy system required they soon learn (common practise to keep individuals quite...shut me up for awhile until an area worked out away to duplicate the enegy) and not only that they learn how to learn how that works thats where they START if they did'nt already know to learn about projection/OBe and what not as this gives you the abilities to learn how the world/s system/s operate hence up there
you clearly tell others not to see the negative side of things being obviously it can regenerate it (AREAS PENDING) ya CIA, as being CIA the first i would ask joining the CIA is why is this like that why is that like this (isn't that what CIA are about solving problems...caring) or don't ya's get told how various thought processes work as a whole, can ya see how ya tell people not to see the negative extend that further but different as a whole...or are you just playing dumb...
argument/debate welcome...pick it apart man

Ether, you will find this disturbing but I have to disclose something to you and GodsProxy.  I'm actually a CIA agent sent for the vested purpose of monitoring your activity in this forum as well as in all other of your "activities".  We find that the knowledge that you and GodsProxy are trying to proliferate are a threat to our insidious plans for world domination.  Unbeknown to you and GodsProxy, we have implanted wireless transmitter in the insides of you large intestines within your colons while you and GP were in a deep slumber.  One of the side-effects of this implant is the occasional feeling of a "burn" while pooping.  We are watching both of you!  Good night!

[SomeRandom]

As much as I dislike the kid, you might want to be careful what you tell ether. He might end up cutting up his body trying to get out whatever he thinks is implanted in him.
