I hope this isn't connected with Nick the Pilot's remark about men not wishing to sit down and confront their issues.I resolved the seat up/down issue late one night in a hilarious drunken stupor.
While we may carry a human consciousness into an after life, that after life is not about being human.
That's interesting. Why not? My favourite books indicate that both this life and the after-life state are structured to bring us to enlightenment - one reason why suicide is usually unhelpful.
Those people who spend their leisure time frequenting the afterlife state say that the most common mistake those who are present there make is that they don't know they have died. Unless they are all visiting other astral travellers in a chat-room somewhere, which would be amusing.
