Eternal life for you!

First you should define who you are, what makes you the "individual" that you think you are? What makes you different from everyone else?

And second whats your definition of life?

What makes me me?

A lot could be said. However, if you stick a pin in me, I feel the pinprick, and no one else. This is as good locator of the "individual".

Eternity is a such a word related with time.That creates boundaries between of time and space.The real Self has no boundaries; no time and no space. It is infinite.There is no beggining and no ending for The Self>>

The pain the body feels is not an indicator of your ego. Its an indicator of the pin in the body.

So the real self is equivalent to everything? It must be if it has no boundaries: it suffuses everything.

So, why not just say "everything"?

The reason, presumably, is that there is supposed to be some sort of subtle but marvellous relation between the real self (i.e., everything) and the phenomenal self. What is it? Could you clarify it, and relieve us of the obscurity?

When I stick a pin you, you squeal and not be; and when I stick a pin in me, I squeal and not you? One self feels the pain that the other doesn't. So, does the real self feel both pains or neither? In either case, how is this possible, if only one of the phenomenal selves feels the pain and the other one doesn't?

I have come to bring, not peace, but a sword.

Read Lucifershammer's vedanta thread...it covers the basics of the views displayed by LOTC and others.

What you got against peace?

Isn't that what Chamberlain said when the Nazis started running riot around Europe?

Nice pun, by the way.

Leonardo da Vinci agreed with me, here are some quotes:

"As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death."

"Our life is made by the death of others. "

"While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. "
