Prescriptions not Predictions?

[ If you were to stick your mystics neck out then what from your
understanding of life would you say will happen to me when my time here
is over? ]

If I were to stick my neck out?  Huh ! Thought I had done my share of
that.  However, you need a fortune teller not a mystic. I know nothing
about my tomorrow let alone yours. My field of interest has been
prescriptions for living life here not predictions for when I am not
here. What would you like to happen when you are not here?

The act of leaving here is what I call DEAD. Ceasing to exist is what I
call Extinction. I have never known extinction. All I have known is
being here and leaving here. So, what do you know? One hundred and ten
percent of my interest has always been about how to live a life, and it
still is. If I did not exist then I would not have to think about that.
So, no problems. I would hazard a guess that the same would apply to
you.

My understanding about not being here has not altered since 1964. Nor
have my feelings about not being here altered since then.  But my
feelings about being here have altered since then. My interest is in
LIFE, not NOT LIFE.  However, if you are constructed in much the same
way as me then when you are not here, then two parts of your being will
continue to exist and one part will not. But in order to find out what
NOT existing is like then you had best find somebody who does not exist
and ask them. As for me then I have only ever known existing. The sum of
my interest (and experience) is and always has been, in existing.
Existing can be very good, not too bad, and bloody horrible; depending
on various factors. So, I looked into those factors. But not existing
could not even be boring could it. And it could hardly contain any
variations on that theme.

But, your time to be NOT HERE will come soon enough. So you will find
out then.  As did I. I have related what it was like when I was not
here. Nothing can ever alter that; for what was done was done. And what
was done was fine by me. However, the tip which I would give to you
would be to study life, and living it; not NOT LIFE.  Extinction can
never ever be anything more than a theory. But life and living it is no
theory, it is a fact. As for predictions then it does not look as though
there is going to be a great deal of sunshine here today. But I have
known worse; and there is much to do which does not need sunshine for
the doing of it. The sun cometh up and it goes down again.  I arose 
from Eternity and went back to Eternity. And I am from Eternity for the
purpose of living it here.  How about you?  Nice to know what you are
talking about, isn't it. I meet so many who don't.
