such assurance,
i think the destination is the same, we all end up in the same place, so by that logic the only thing left is the journey. however even with different destinations to stay the way is more important. i'll rather follow my heart, then drive with fear and hope that comes from such a transparent desire. people grasp at what dulls the fear. did you fear death before you believed? do you still?

its what it all comes down to, even giving is an act of recieving and keeping. the self is all we have really, no matter what theres always that ghost hanging above everything. even if the diffinition of I changed. God is a baby blanket, with out it you shiver in the cold, never relizing to turn off the airconditioner. unless u throw off that heavy and inhibiting burden and find the thermostate, you'll always be holding on to that afterlife at least, which is fine, getting rid of the dogma thins out the blanket so you can walk around instead of lie with your eyes covered proclaiming the light through the blanket "truth". they KNOW becuse their afraid to admitt otherwise, becuse if they didn't KNOW then its just a possibility, and its not nearly as comforting. its clear why most believe in a afterlife, its their baby bottle, its their pacifier. and the dogma is their moma that the milk comes from. religion, argh, i think its always has been this transparent to me, i reamber sitting in church and wondering if the music stopped if they would still raise their hands, or feel "god".
