In Heaven There Is No Beer. That's Why We Drink It Here.
Existence exists. Does it depend on physical
temporal, sequential time? Maybe not. That you exist exists.
That you
happened happened. It will not go away when you do.
Even though you live for but a blink and then fail to be present for infinate eternities
in every direction seems unfortunate, but that you actually ever occurred in reality, with all the sweat and stink and noise and twisted ankles, and
bleeding ulcers and charbroiled chicken, remains quite astounding. Throughout
all of eternity that you were remains. Especially when you remove the sequential
time thing.
Try to imagine existence outside of sequential time. Just because we live in sequential time
don't assume that in some other dimension, time exists at all.
Take away sequential
time and there is no "was" or "will be", only "is". Take away sequential time
and you exist forever. You just radiate like ripples in a pool, on and on
forever.
The good news is that you live forever. Dimensions outside of sequential time
promise eternity.
The bad news is that you couldn't
have any physical presence. You'd have to exist more as some form of pure energy,
but, outside of physical sequential time could there still be existence?
Without a physical presence there is no touch, no taste, no tactile
feeling, no smell, no sound. Let's come out and say it, there would be no
sex. There would also be no sausage and potato salad. There would be
no diving in to a refreshing pool, no home run swings for the fences, no smell of
fresh cut green grass. To sum it up, the essence of my cosmological philosophy:
In Heaven There Is No Beer, That's Why We Drink It Here. Becuase even if we do continue to exist, the
abscence of the tactile threatens to make the whole thing seem rather tedious.
I believe that there is much more than we know, and I believe that
when we die, and our physical existence ends, the fact that we once did exist does
not go away. Something continues on. Now, to extend this to a totally crazy, highly unscientific fantasy
theory.
