Overview

Having reached the age of my dotage, it is quite reasonable that I am contemplating the shedding of this mortal coil. This contemplation leads on to the question of the finality of death. It seems so unfair to give life on the one hand and then snatch it away, for all eternity, with the other. Nevertheless, death as the ultimate finality is the belief of many, if not the majority. Humankind is constantly evolving, learning more about the Universe and how it works, with every generation. Whether we will ever be able to understand its complexities fully is a conundrum that may never be answered. However the idea that human life is merely nature's way of continuing the species, and has no further meaning, is constantly being challenged. The ancients and modern religions both believe that the soul goes to a better place when we die. This is of course a simplistic explanation, originally created for largely uneducated and simple people. However the thought of living in spirit, in a place that represents paradise, for all eternity, is almost as horrifying as eternal death, it cannot be contemplated, unless of course time itself has a different meaning when experiencing something beyond human contemplation. Scientists advise us that it is not possible to create energy without matter, they depend on each other. However I have lived long enough, to take with a very large pinch of salt, anything that scientists tell us today. I know without fear of contradiction that tomorrow scientists will have a totally different opinion and probably an opposite view. In fact quantum physics is already changing the way we think. The investigation into sub-atomic particles is an evolving scientific journey that is leading; hopefully, to a greater understanding of the universe and the way it works. Whether it will completely answer all of the questions about the afterlife, or prove that it does not exist, is open to question. My own personal view, shared by others, is that it is conceivable that there exists a life force. A force or energy that to date has been undetectable, a force that is unique to every individual, like a fingerprint. The existence of a life-force, a life energy, that does not require matter to continue its existence but does require a host to manifest itself, would explain all of the mysteries of the paranormal. Just think, if more than one life-force inhabits one individual then you would get multiple personality disorder. As a force it could explain kinetic energy, the ability to temporarily leave its host, i.e. astral projection, or even make connection with another life force i.e. telepathic ability. It would explain the mysterious movement of solid objects. Obviously there is no evidence or laboratory proof of the possibility of a personal life force as yet, but some quantum scientists are actively examining the energies or forces that exist or may exist at sub-atomic levels, they may uncover the very force of which I speak. However I trust you will agree that it is both an interesting and comforting thought.
