Cisco:
The "second death" is death of the spirit. Even as a flame
can be snuffed out! We ALL start as a spark, we can grow to
an eternal flame, or be "snuffed out". It is by our own recompense
that such a thing could happen, to any one of us.
YOU choose, nobody else does. So choose wisely what it
is you want, and put forth the effort in order to gain, not lose
LIFE!
Mark:
Life can never be lost, IMO, because life is forever.
It could be a lot worse, if that is what you are saying.
But if someone ceases to be, he may as well as have never
been.
Cisco:
According to some, "Life CAN be LOST", and return to the
"void" from whence it came. Just as a candle can be
"snuffed out" so can a life.
I don't know how true it is, but I keep hearing it repeated
again, and again. Even Jesus spoke of it, in certain
phrases. Personally I would rather not tempt fate
just to find out!
Mark:
Right, you would rather not tempt fate because you know that maybe
life will not be snuffed out, but get worse instead, IMO.
Azure:
That is the scary part!
"Try Again"!
Cisco:
And that IS the scary part if you think about it.
Cause you have *control* over what happens
in your evolution NOW, you have NONE if
you return to the "void" AGAIN! You don't
know WHAT you will come back as, if you return
to the "void" from whence you came.
Christians say suicide is a hellish thing, and yet
sepuko according to Buddhism is an alternative
if you totally mess up your life and don't care
what you come back as "AGAIN"!
When you are at the bottom of the Ladder it's
easy to look up, but when you are at the top of
the Ladder it's hard to contemplate going back
down "AGAIN".
Sepuko was hardly ever performed by peasantry
for that very reason. It was reserved for the Elite.
In Christianity you hear of just the opposite
happening nearly every day!
Mark:
Sure, when you realize you're not damned for all time,
that's the good part.
Cisco:
When Azure says "Try Again"! he means exactly that.
God does not waste ANYthing, unlike men. When you
return to the "void" you comeback AGAIN, with yer memory
erased, and you start all over AGAIN. The process continues
AGAIN and AGAIN, until yer soul evolves above that of
the BEAST within.
It's the ONLY hope for people like Albans, who will return
to the "void", when he is done polluting the world we all live
in. Better the "void" to be remade than stinking up some
dungeon for eternity.
Christianity with it's tall Tales and Fibs, makes for a GREAT
excuse for people like Albans to have their cake, and eat it too!
But it simply ain't true!
Yet another LIE of Christianity that gives people the wrong
impression is where they think GOD will "punish" the wicked,
and "reward" the Good. Sorry but God does not work that
way, the Law of Karma says "You make yer bed, now you gotta
sleep in it" for better or for worse. God doesn't do it, you
do it to yerself.
Because of such a LIE people claim to be righteous, and pass
unwarranted judgment upon others. Thinking wrongly, if God
can do it, and they are an instrument of God, then they can do
so as well. Think of Racism, Bigotry, and even Poverty, all
because some MAN thought he could pass judgment on others
as God does, which is wrong.
Cheers.. ..hope that explanation helps!
