I don't dare ask where your evidence for this hypothesis is, but I will ask what are your reasons for imagining this? What is the chain of thought that leads from: Step 1: We live in a temporal world. to: Step N: Our ghost/soul must therefore live in a timeless state. ? Apart from wishful thinking of course. That's always the major component in any reasoning about the afterlife. Life is a process, not a thing -- when a clock runs down and stops ticking, there is no essence of ticking that keeps going, the gears just stop. When I stop walking, there is no spirit of walk that survives me coming to a halt. I just stop walking. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
