Of Dæmons and Heaven

[StephXZed]

I don't know... good question.

[Tracy]

Wow, this question has gotten a pretty good load of responses! He.. he, and to think, it all started when wei woke up this morning and that question just popped into our head(s?). Geez, I am a Class A geek. But I got nothing real important to say. Just here to ramble on and on and....on.

[Hunter]

I don't believe in a heaven or in a hell. I've make up my own believenings, and what I think will happen is that our daemons will vanish with our soul. Then, who nows? Rencarnation, or Christians's heaven/hell, or even Pullmans dead land...I don't know, and know no one who can tell me. Believenings are out, everithing can happen.

*in a very small minority* XD Oh well. I guess we won't really find out for a while then, eh?

[Hunter]

Better not knowing it for a lot of time ;D

Sooner than you think! *sharpens knife, and is also an atheist*

[SNL_Ali]

Oh well. If there really ISN'T a God--I've got nothing to loose! ;D I'm happy where I am right now, and hopefully I won't find out any answers for a long while.

[Alexei & Kryii]

Oh, boy... I haven't thought about this at all. I've been afraid to. But Kryii has something to share-

Right-o then. Right now, we (I'm sorry, I cannot use the provided forms. I am me, just me! I'm nothing special!)...

... yes you are...

... anyway. We feel that reincarnation makes sense, some, and some it doesn't. Ditto Heaven/Hell, the LotD, and all the rest. None of it seems to make sense at all, taken individually. I think they are all facets- for the Hindus & mukti, Buddhists and Nirvana, Abraham's faiths and Heaven (as well, I suppose, as hell), the goal is bliss. And when are we happier than when we are together? Sadder than when we are apart? I don't know where we go, but I know that it would be unbarable if we didn't go together.

[Sayuri & Alla]

I don't really believe in heaven or hell.. I think we're reeincarnated.

Besides, what would heaven be without our dæmons? I don't want to go if Alla doesn't come with me. I don't even want to think about it..

I believe (I've been thinking alot about this if you can tell from the last time I've posted in this thread) in reincarnation. I believe that when you're alive, you're with your daemon. He's your guardian and lifelong companion,however when you die,your death is your companion in the hereafter while you recover and meet up with loved ones and decide where you want to go in your next life,at what time you meet up with your daemon yet once more. ^^ When you finally reach the end of your cycle (Nirvana,maybe?), you,your daemon,and your death are all three split into diffrent pieces and meet up with other pieces to make a new person (if that makes sense).Taht is why the human race is spiritually evolving,but also devolving. Also,mthat explains why my daemon doesn't like the idea of me meeting my death ("You'll have plenty of time with him later!!! Me now!!!!") in this life,as well as why I feel like I've met my death before,because I /have/.

[Spiral Sun]

Well, when I die I want to experience all the fantasys I've ever thought of and go on endless adventures with Pheo and be with my true love and his dæmon too, forever and ever. If I can do that, then I look forward to death! ^________^

... you're just wierd!

...but I still don't wanna die, just incase I'm wrong 0.o

[Yumi]

Well, I figure that we won't know what happens when we die until we do, because we're not really supposed to know until then. Why, I'm not sure...it depends on the nature of the afterlife, if there is one. I can see the sense in various ideas on what the afterlife could be and what the purpose of it is, but I don't know if I really believe in any single one in particular. In my opinion, a lot of what we experience depends on what we think we'll encounter. Maybe there will be more to it than that, some true world after death that is different from any of the ideas that people have dreamed up, but what we first experience is what we expect to experience.

As for me, I know what I would like to have happen. Ideally, I think it would be fantastic if, after death, I could spend time with the people I cared for the most in life; even if I couldn't see them for long, I'd like to at least send them a message, to tell them how much I appreciated their presence in and impact on my life. Then, I'd like to have the chance to do all the things I never could while I was alive, so I wouldn't have any of those kind of regrets left over from my old life. I'd like to watch the world for a bit and decide where I wanted to do next, and spend some time really thinking about the good and bad parts of my life before making a choice.

As for where our daemons might be after we die, I think that wherever we go, they come with us. Maybe we would merge together somehow, so if you were to look into the world on the other side of life, you wouldn't see any daemons, because the different parts of the two, physical ones aside, would have combined. If there's no afterlife, and we don't go anywhere, then we disappear along with our daemons. *shrugs* Regardless, considering how tightly linked people and their daemons are, I don't see how we could ever be seperated. For a time, perhaps, but not permanently.
