Do you ever feel...

Me, too, Mike. I feel like starting an emu farm. Right now! Plan to slaughter them and harvest their oil. It's worth a lot of money, I hear.

Cosmetic industry pays top dollar for the stuff. If it's a bust I'll parlay my losses into an alpaca farm, which may be more profitable.

We all die from life.

Breathing is an option - we can infuse oxygen into the bloodstream without breathing.

@ the instant brain death occurs the real you (your immortal soul) leaves your temporal body. Human life is over. How silly to keep an already decomposing biological carcass hooked up with tubes and wires to expensive machines, just because some immature person gets carried away with sentimentality and bleeding heart emotions.

Price of ignorance, I guess.

like you don't control your on destiny? I just experienced a seriously strong, frightening déjà vu moment.

did you measure the strength of the effect at it's peak, or just the general overall "feeling"???
even deja vu experiences follow a bell curve...
there is the awakening, then a rapid strengthening of the experience (usually what participants remember most), followed by an equally rapid receding of the experience...

that peak, the very top of the curve, when the "you know you've been there before" feeling is causing heart flutters and minor orgasms, that is what interests me most...

i have a totally peer rejected theory that these events are sprung from accidental (that's right, you heard me correct) brain wavelength abnormalities that coincide with random other brains in close proximity...

did you see anyone close to you that may have been experiencing a similar event???
even a dog, or say, an evil cat stalking you, waiting to infect you with rabies at the first opportunity???

would you mind letting me hook you up to my machine???

Er, no. Almost all of us die from a lack of oxygen to the brain. The root cause of this may not be shortness of breath; frequently it is sufficient breath but not enough power in the heart to get the oxygen to the brain. Or no power at all, if the heart has stopped completely for one reason or another.
(And then there's those few who die not from a lack of oxygen to the brain, but from immediate damage to the brain. But that's rarer.)

This immortal soul, of which you speak, leaves how and where does it go...into the air? Wait this should be in the Science thread.

Would we be in agreement that "... brain death occurs the real you (your immortal soul) leaves your temporal body." ?

Pertinent question, Stees. Spiritual or Soul life imputed to physical life at birth by our creator... at the moment of brain death, instantly departs that temporary abode (now an already decomposing carcass) and goes to one of two permanent addreses. Those addresses are, simply, in the very presence of God or without Him for all eternity. The choice is individualized. We each choose for ourselves. Our spouse, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, chess buddies, clan and forum friends (and almost friends) choose for themselves. Many, unfortunately, are too distracted or otherwise focused to care about this single most important personal decision we all must make in this life. Some neglect conscious choice and conclude their days making it by default. I'd encourage any who may care to check out the resource for accurate spiritual information I've availed myself of for over four decades noted in my 'location'. Also welcome any and all personal messages. Please bear in mind that I'm not marketing or selling anything. Neither is there ever a price, fee or charge of any kind for any of the vast supply of quality publications and MP3CDs. This non-denominational ministry wishes to reflect God's Grace in its Financial Policy. It's absolutely free for the asking.

Wrapping up on a playful note, I'm thinking there'll be a few corner tables for the exclusive use of Red Hot Pawn Members in that "Celestial Chess Club" up and away in the Third Heaven... and that Greenpawn34 will be holding court, blogging his sweet Brit arse off at Table One all hours of the day and well into the wee hours of those memorable nights. Maybe Kewpie wiil be serving all manner of on and off the menu eggs 24/7 at the "Aussie Greasy Spoon Diner". Maybe Phlabibit will manfully take charge of grillin and chillin in the "Gazebo Mead Beer Gardens". Maybe HandyAndy will be second in charge and wear the same style chef hat. Maybe Richard will be President of the "All You Ever Wanted to Know About Everything and Anything Library". Maybe Rookie and Trev33 will at last publish best selling books.

Maybe ChessPraxis will be in charge of the "Big Knife Butcher Shop" and sole supplier of quality meats to Kewpie, Phlab and Andy. Maybe Coquette will operate the "Already Taken Perfume Shop" on Pearl Street. Maybe it'll be located next door to Suzianne's "Advice and Lemonade Stand". Maybe Very Rusty will not only run but own the "We Did It My Way Bank" on Gold Avenue. Maybe Monty Moose will supervise lottery games, poker and bingo nights at the "Don't Mess with Texas Roadhouse". Maybe Ponderable will finally have his very own lab and, also, be charged with the responsibility of keeping attendance records as well as close track of who's messing up. Maybe Mikelom will have a nice pink and yellow bicycle style vending cart which serves oriental foods and drink with a side car for his lovely wife. Maybe the 2012 Newbies will suprise eveyone with their remarkable chess ratings. Maybe you'll be in charge of keeping the feisty Canadian Delegation in line. Maybe gb will be assigned general janitorial and latrine duties and two pair of darkish brown shirts and pants. Maybe Russ and Chris and the RHP Moderator Staff will wear different hats and run the "Chilly Checker House" (with public forums which curiously exclude a Spiritual Forum). Maybe those whose names I've failed to mention will find it in their hearts to forgive me. Maybe, maybe, maybe...Reveal Hidden Content

If you're any example, Bobby, I seriously doubt that your cult will attract any new believers. Have another Kool-Aid.
