A shout-out for chaos, death and a sparkle of religion.
There’s something around us all the time but we can’t see it unless we focus and if we perceive it we can’t fully capture it, its chaos, it’s the fact that there is dust on the floor right now, it’s the fact that you don’t know what’s going on around you at the moment (you know just enough to keep living and act in a way that facilitates your desires), why is your attention ruling out all of this ‘chaos’, well, evolution selected for that, any creature that saw and contemplated this chaos didn’t act in a manner that made him survive and reproduce.
Chaos is something real and we are unconsciously blind to it, we evolved a certain way of dealing with the world, to sort everything in clean and simple categories, which is proven to be a good way to deal with the world, then why would more than billion years of evolutionary success lead to it. But there’s a problem when we use this filter to explain things beyond this world, like god, afterlife, higher dimensions, and the list goes on.
The fact that there’s heaven/hell, good/evil, life/death, 1/0. it’s a simple binary system that sounds “fake”, unnatural, human made, an effort to simplify something so we can grasp it, but we forget that’s it’s a mere simplification of the real.
Most religions and beliefs have a claim about what happens after death, simple clear sure facts, like you go to heaven or hell judged by your deeds, you get incarnated once again to life, you simply stop existing… but this reflects human thinking more than the chaotic nature of the world.
No one can state what will happen after death because we don’t understand the world; we take a fraction of the world via our senses and reduce even that fraction to something we can hold in our minds, so how can we even discuss things beyond nature and matter as we know it.
Why not chaos? Why death can’t be chaos and the ability to fully understand it?
So when I die I become part of heaven as well as hell, I vanish as well as maintaining consciousness, I return to the world as well as infinite worlds, I don’t have to understand what happens, I’m biologically and logically incapable I don’t know other than life after all, but I was born, and there was a day before I came to the world to be born months later, where was I that day?, where was I for an infinite amount of “time” before I was conceived, why there should be time, isn’t time the ultimate structure of order?, while we are about it, let’s rule out time…and now we can’t even think about “after death”.
