Five Kinds of Afterlife

[David Sklansky]

"If the human brain were just a receiver, and the real center of your conscious experience exists somewhere else (as in Poker, Gaming, and Life), then you could not affect your conscious experience by doing things to your brain -- like exposing it to LSD or a jackhammer or whatever"

I should have said that your brain is the sender, to analogize with my story.

I don't understand why this is true. Try poking holes in your woofers or tweaters or damaging the transistor and/or antenna on an old TV or radio. This will definitely affect the quality of what the transceiver receives. Much in the same way LSD or a jackhanner would affect the brain. ??

Regarding #4 - If you were to die suddenly without seeing it coming, say someone shot you in the back of the head with a shotgun. Could there be a slowing up of time at the moment of death?

Regarding reincarnation - What is the mechanism that allows your soul to vacate at the moment of death then hover over a pregnant woman, then enter a fetus at some point? Also, there are more people being born than dying. Do the excess people have no souls?

...or a better, simpler analogy, would be tuning your "radio" to a different frequency.

Look at all the monks in the pot. Oops, this must be Heaven! Pictures or words cannot describe the (non kinky) pains of Hell awaiting all of you!
