Though you may prefer not to incriminate yourself concerning youthful indiscretions, I somehow doubt that you've ever done anything evil. If you did, I imagine you've more than made up for it through maturity and self-reform.
And that would earn you a place in Randy's special heaven, where loving maidens feed you endless and perfect sandwiches, weight gain is impossible, good grammar is the natural and normal way of speaking and tilde-shapes abound in the designs of the environment. :)
I think this is why people fear the afterlife and dying. They cannot imagine eternity. I cannot. I keep thinking I will be BORED. That is my silly mind. We don't take the mind with, thank goodness. We take the aware. Not the thinking about the aware and running conversations in our head forever. GOD FORBID if I had to listen to me forever. Fate worse than death.
But. If you can shut off the dialogue, you still are there, you are totally aware, but you are not thinking.
Agreed. If what remains is pure consciousness, the relative perception of time would disappear and become a perpetual present; in that state, as in deep meditation, the subjective feeling would be profound contentment.
