ost_uid0="Shauku"]So you're saying that everyone's "soul," "god," or whatnot exists in everyone else's universe/dimension? So after I die, I'll be not only in vx unicom's idea of hell, but in my own idea of the afterlife, in the Shinto idea of reincarnation, the Greek underworld, Slavic underworld, Oceanic underworld....all of them at the same time? Just that it's in different dimensions? Hmmm....that sounds confusing. It does make sense, but it's just confusing, cuz in effect you're saying that my soul exists in the personal universes/dimensions of 6 billion people or so.[/quote]
Well, yes. But only if those 6 billion people think you exist. In order to exist to other people, you have to be thought of, or at least seen and remembered (which takes thought). So, if no one thinks about you, then they don't think you exist, and therefore, you're not in their universe anymore. However, you're still existant in your own universe. Get it? ^-^ I know it's confusing at first... but in this belief, at least there is a safe haven for all people, and not just a person.

And Elena, the reason why I have not said to close this topic, is that we do need to discuss this. If no one will discuss it in the world, just because they are afraid of being yelled at or because they fear a battle or argument, then we'll be at war for all eternity with anyone and everyone. While I absolutely condone fighting and arguing, we have to help people realize that it's not only one person with right answers; and that there is always more than one right answer (somehow, and some way). If we cannot do that, for anyone, then this world is surely doomed and it's final years will be at hand.
