While I tend to prefer this view and think this is a psychologically useful idea, we probably shouldn't take it too literally: how can it be squared with general relativity and its apparent implications of eternalism [1]?

- lcall 6y agoI do in fact believe life is eternal: that we began before birth, this life has a purpose (an important preparation step, in some ways), & it doesn't end at our mortal death. There is the whole science vs. religion debate, or one can see all real truth as compatible, learn some key things for oneself, and wait for the details that may seem conflicting for now, to get sorted out as one learns more. Much more detail at my site (a very tech-simple site, linked in my HN user profile, which I try to make skimmable). I hope that offends no one...
