Would you give up your life on Earth for Pandora?

Possibly because it isn't a horse
"zebra is not horse"

Matter cannot be without space in between - A room is not just made of walls, the space enclosed is as important as the walls. So life is a vibration, an oscillation of beeings and non-beeings.

My world view is an animistic one - everything around us is a living part of the large game, Mr Watts talks about. So I dont think, I will have an afterlife in the sense that my ego and memory will sit there for eternity and ponder about things. All that I am is part of the memory of the universe and all that I am will continue to be in the future, but there will be no ego, no memory. All that I am now will forget that it was me beeing here and now, but that does not matter. Its "the circle of life", just that the circle is more like these pictures of strings int he string thory - changing all the time, vibrating, echoeing and playing.

I like this... it's like the "All energy is only borrowed, one day you have to give it back", and I agree.

What I think is most important though is that someone lives in a way as long as they are remembered... their personality, their accomplishments, their friendships, their likes and dislikes... If those are remembered, it preserves a part of what that person was.
