Having been blessed with a few death test runs, I feel at least a little qualified to comment on the subject and offer my opinion on hungry ghosts and the intended effect of the bardo thödol.
I think that although the Bardo thödol is read to the recently deceased to ease the consciousness passing into a good birth, that it’s also effective in reminding the living how to approach their remaining years at a time when they are most perceptive.
I think about the hungry ghost concept from time to time. One of the levels of death in the book of living and dying is the realm of the hungry ghosts. I think it’s a good way to remember not to let these thoughts overcome us.
Consider offline life. There is nothing stopping me from calling us friends. Your feelings on the matter, while not irrelevant, certainly don’t have to influence my descriptor. No need to “request” to be friends.
I do see where you’re coming from and I had thought about that earlier (after posting). I still like Friend or Fren better, but how about view, watch, or something like “add”.
I am mainly on a quest today to explore whether or not “follow” is a good idea.
Yeah I remember the threads on uranium and how you can basically buy some from Amazon. I’m guessing the cheese industry is very sensitive about where their products go. I know there are cheese banks, so why the heck not I guess!
Oh really? That is very interesting. Am guessing there are quite a few different agencies interested in such a life form. Keeping tabs on those with access. “They” probably get a lot of their ideas from keeping track of what others are doing.
Code all of your civilizations data into DNA, put it inside a super strong container ( Deinococcus radiodurans), aim rocket at other planet with better orbit, wait 1,002,000 years. Voila you get an Evan.
Too cool! Makes me think about the cia remote viewing studies where they viewed Mars in like 1,000,000BC and the martians were having a planet wide catastrophe or something.
