As Many Posibilities as the StarsWho has determined that there can be only one possible afterlife?How is it the religions have come to get the idea that there can only be and must only be one single answer, one correct possibilities. Can there not be multiple answers and multiple possibilities. What is this obsession with being "right" and everyone else being wrong. What true purpose does this serve? If we look around us. There is not only one possible planet. There is not only the Earth, there are many other planets as well. There is not only one possible and one single moon. Other planets have their own moons, some even have multiple moons. There is not only one possible galaxy, there are many infinite possible galaxies. Our sun is not the only single sun. Every star is a sun within its own right. So than why cannot there be more than one possible afterlife? Why cannot Valhalla, Heaven, Nirvana, Paradise, the Elysian Fields, and the list goes on, all co-exist together. Who says that we must all come to the same end when we die. Perhaps we all go exactly where we want to go when we die. Perhaps all religions are equally valid, are equally right on their own accord. If you look at the earth itself, everything comes in multiples and diversity. There is not only one kind of tree, one kind of flower, one kind of bird. There are many different types. Just as there are many different types of people. Perhaps different people believe different things because there are also many different realities, many different realms. How is it that religion must come to be treated as one big contest in which there is in the end an ultimate winner? There is a Hindu proverb I have always been found of which states "There is more than one path to lead up to the same mountaintop" But you know what, there are also many different mountaintops. 4:40 PM - 4/10/2009 - post comment
