Essay 11: August 30, 2021: Human Morals Before Death. Why?
Somethingness versus Nothingness.
Life and Death. As Metaphysical Concepts and Questions and Issues.
By: The Great - Mr. George D. Patnoe!, Jr.
The evolution and devolution of the human brain, mind, and consciousness regarding death, and/or life depending on how you look at life and death.
“The relinquishment of all faith in death and also of the fear of its sting would raise the standard of health and morals far beyond its present elevation, ...” pg. 426 Science and Health. Mary. B. Eddy.
I recently read that above statement by accident exactly after I had been thinking about certain specific issues regarding very specific questions for many months now. You must understand my dear readers something about the process of thinking and writing. Sometimes everything happens in a flash like a bolt of lightning and sometimes ideas and concepts linger in the mind like a good wine should linger in the mouth before you swallow it. And so it is with this topic. Sometimes it takes a whole lifetime to get answers to life's questions.
It is really sad that most people, or so I believe, do not really think about what they do in their earthly lives affects them in the afterlife if they have an afterlife. Have you thought about what you have done on earth and during the course of your life that may affect or could possibly affect your mind and consciousness when it ‘floats’ into the afterlife if you indeed have an afterlife? I do not think you have thought about it all, not one of you readers, if I may be so blunt. Why?
Because most people or maybe the majority, I really do not know the numbers, walk around the earth and they live their earthly lives in a mental fog about the whole concept of dying and death, as it will never happen to them. Or how their earthly actions and decisions will affect other human beings in one way or another way or in many different ways both before and after the event termed death happens to them.
A current example would be with the Taliban and other terrorists after 20 years close to the eve of September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on American soil which killed almost 3000 people and affected all of their family members and friends, etc. including the nation and the world too. And it started another war and mini-wars that have continued to this day in this history of the human species.
I really think that the current US. President Joe Biden, has a huge mental brain and mind fog because if he had actually remembered those attacks on American soil by the same terrorists who he is basically freed from the prisons overseas and who he actually handed over America’s military weapons to in the last week or two he would not have freed them nor would he have handed over America’s military weapons to terrorists while they were laughing in his face because now they are so very happy to be free from prison and at the same time they now own more and better and bigger weapons to kill people, including Americans if that day and an attack happens again.
“On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.”
The problem here is that the terrorists actually believe that torturing, killing, and murdering other people is a good thing to do because they believe that death is a very good thing until it happens to one of their own terrorist members or families members, or friends. When it happens to them especially by soldiers in the United States military one way or another way, they do not like it, but they will continue to falsely believe in the happy go lucky attitude that killing other human beings is good for them and their religious or political cause when in fact killing other human beings does nothing good for them except getting more terrorists killed too. That is on an earthly level.
On a bigger and higher level of this issue of terrorists killing other human beings into their deaths, another perspective is also insane in many ways too. Let me assume and state the obvious for the reader of this short essay. The terrorists themselves seem to believe in an afterlife for themselves but do they think that the people they kill and murder have an afterlife too? Or maybe they do believe that the people they kill and murder do have an afterlife but they do not care about it at all. They do not see the insanity of their wishful thinking.
Or do the terrorists believe that they are the only human beings, (if they can be termed human beings in the proper sense of the word) who have a good afterlife when indeed they can never prove to anyone including to themselves what will happen to them after they actually die humanly, even if they ‘belief’ in something?
Again, just we do not forget the purpose of this essay.
“The relinquishment of all faith in death and also of the fear of its sting would raise the standard of health and morals far beyond its present elevation, ...” pg. 426 Science and Health. Mary. B. Eddy.
Does that statement apply to terrorists who are not normal human beings? Or does that statement only apply to human beings who are trying to ascend into higher mental states of spiritually before they die a human death? Now I will apply that statement to normal human beings who do not walk around killing other human beings for fun or for some outdated and insane religious and political beliefs. To the normal human being who believes in death like it is something to be feared because it seems to be the end of life or more specifically their lives or someone they know.
If human beings have faith in a death like it is a state of nothingness they could be very wrong to think so and if they die only to find themselves somewhere else, then they learn that maybe they might actually have an afterlife. Then would not the faith in death as a state of nothingness disappear or lessen within each individual human consciousness either before or after an earthly death? And it would or should raise the standard of morals within each human being for many reasons, but I will state only one because I am writing only three hard copy pages for this essay.
If an individual human being is doing something that might be regarded as higher immoral, like having perverted and immoral and senseless sex over and over and over again in one way or another until their death, and they think that there is nothing wrong with doing that perverted sex over and over and over again until the day they die because they think that when and after they die nothing will happen to them because they believe that death, their death, is a state of nothingness, so it is ok because everything, even immoral sex makes no difference to a person’s ‘soul’ when they die.
So instead of waking up out of the perverted sex mental dream and then starting to live a cleaner and more purified life until death, some human beings think nothing at all in regard to having perverted sex until the day they die, even if they think that maybe it really is a humanly mental sex dream in the first place.
That would be one state of mind or consciousness. An individual who is both mentally and physically living a perverted mental sex dream believing that it is really a part of reality when in fact it is not only not a part of reality, but it is also a state of death or a living death even while those human beings are still breathing and walking on planet earth working, playing, and waiting for their deaths to arrive someday or moment in the future.
But what happens to an individual human being, meaning an individual human mind or consciousness that wakes up from any sense of the mental sex dream and starts to realize that they might be something more than just skin and bones and blood and brains which would cause them to begin an upward ascension within their mind and consciousness to higher states of existence which would also cause them to improve their human morals whatever the case may be. Little by little, some people wake up from their mental dreamworlds while other people love living in them, alive or dead.
I am sure that there are many people, meaning violent criminals in prisons in America and around the world who even though once believed in killing and murdering helpless and defenseless human beings for whatever reason, somehow woke up out of that dream world of the desire to kill and murder other human beings. And maybe they possibly became better human beings before they died, even if their death was still a punishment for killing and murdering another human being. Can a criminal reform his mind and soul before his death? I would think that is very possible and highly likely for some murders even if they believe or do not believe in an afterlife for them.
Living and dying with a guilty conscience either for murdering another human being or living with highly immoral sexual activity or being a drunk or druggie, etc. is bad enough. But what happens in the afterlife when those earthly vices continue with that guilty conscience? Does the state of mind with guilt in it or does a guilty mind carry that state of mind into the afterlife with them just they carry it within their minds as they wake on earth living their lives?
You must understand my dear readers since this is the end of this quick essay. Everyone thinks that their deepest secrets are hidden deep inside their minds, away from the world. But in truth, it is not the world you have to worry about when you die. What you have to worry about when you die is what is inside your mind and consciousness! And furthermore, that statement also applies to the living because what you do on earth while you walk on earth within your mind and consciousness carries over to the afterlife, no matter what type of afterlife you may obtain in the hereafter.
