Great viewpoint, but, there are too many people who have died and came back to tell (some recently as much as 30-40 mins or so) about it. Usually what they see is much as what there faith had them believing they would see. This is in exact accordance with the Tibetan bardo states. It is also a proven scientific fact of physics that an energy force cannot be used up or dissolved/destroyed it may only transform.
I (being one of many, many, people who have done so also) have travelled in spirit form outside of my body on multiple occasions, know for a fact, that this body is a shell for my spirit. The piper will be paid. Your guilt/karma must be worked out sooner or later there is no escape via death.[/quote]
Of course, I was just stating that it is their view point, and I'm well aware of the \"Near Death Experiences\" that most have, I've never personally experienced one myself, and I never agreed with that whole aspect of Satanism, being that I believe in rebirth for another go around at life as opposed to being gone, kaput, that's that. I myself don't see \"Death\", as being the end of it all. I believe that there are a limited number of souls, and that we are part of a greater thing than ourselves, so when one of us \"dies\", we are recycled to continue the process of living, when, where and what we are reincarnated into being as in the next life.
Taking a look at the Druidic belief, they weren't allowed to eat meat, because it would mean taking a step back on the evolutionary process, because we've \"tainted ourselves\" with the flesh of another living thing.
In a Buddhist text I read, it goes along the same lines, but, not because it merely taints, but, because you're probably snacking on a relative of some sort. Was just putting that out there for general purpose knowledge.
