Luna Tail

I just got done watching What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. I like Robin Williams, funny guy. My favorite movie of his is The Fisher King. Great show… it really affected me way back in the 80s (or was it 90s?) when it came out.

Anyway… so What Dreams May Come is seems to be based on the idea of the Christian Heaven and Hell. Now first my disclaimer, I really don’t know much about organized religion. So forgive me if I get anything wrong. But I’m not going to go into that, really. I’m just going to state what my feelings of the afterlife are.

I believe in an afterlife. I think there is something else other than this physical reality. I am not religious, though I like to consider myself some form of pagan. I love the earth and I want to be exactly the same as the earth, plants, and all the animals that live here. I also believe in the supernatural… things that can’t really be explained, like ghosts. Also.. I am a scientist. So my belief of the supernatural is pessimistic at best. Which is, I know, contradictory but it makes sense in my disturbed mind.

So anyway… I find the Christian idea of heaven and hell a bit odd. My personal belief is that after we die… first of all, our small human brains are unable to comprehend what it’s really like. Just like a bird sees the world in bugs and other birds and trees and sky. They cannot comprehend the idea of a computer, or a house or a job. That’s how I think we humans are about what is beyond, before, and after, this existence. This reality. Our brains are not physically able to comprehend it.

This is also why I don’t believe in a Rainbow Bridge for dogs. I really hope that Kip and Jackie, my two dogs who have died, are now existing in some sort of energy form that I can’t comprehend. They are exploring and cruising all over the universe in a way I can’t imagine. I do hope they will think of me every now and again… if thinking is what they do.

I don’t believe humans or animals will go to heaven or hell. I really don’t even believe in punishment for those who do evil. I hope there is… in some way. But I kinda think this reality is a learning experience and we each learn what we learn, then we die, we return to the existence we were in before this physical life, and we go on from there.

I’m a bit afraid of dying… I have so much to do with the dogs. Hopefully it won’t happen any time soon. I’d love to live until I’m 100 years old. I love to see how the world is changing, and what will happen. But I also believe that after we die, we know everything about this physical world, and so we’ll know how it all turns out.

On this day..
