It does confirm the book of Cordelia Fine's A MIND ON ITS OWN.

But with the popular notion that ego is your mind and why not, to some people in the new world, we are truly acting based on the validity of what ego can lead us to.

But as you say, who can argue?

Don't distort the message on this book, on the contrary, you have a choice on the next life, based on your actions of the present. It emphasizes that if you choose to be bad here, then you will regress in the next as the direction of being good and progress if you choose to be good here.

Please read it. It has nothing to do with IF HAPPENS TO YOU THEN IT HAPPENS ANYWAY?

No not at all, my respect. Yes, I have read it and being a Catholic Christian, the book is a very compelling and scientific in its documents.

But setting aside this: At the peak of understanding THAT IF ALL WE DO HERE NOW, HAS A REPERCUSSION OF OUR FUTURE, THEN WHY NOT BE GOOD THEN? AND I AM WONDERING WHY IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO BE BAD THAN TO BE GOOD?

Thanks for joining. Your opinions are not measured and or equated to what is pertinent, just that we have to stay on the true message of the book...IMHO

Exactly the point Obs., sorry I didn't read this.

But the point is exactly the opposite of what you just said about the saint to be a murderer or what. It is the very act of our current that will bring us to where we should be. In other words it is more of a rewards and punishment consequences.

The book opens up the possibility that in our journey to a continuous goal, stepping from one level to the next is determined only from the result of your current life. Wherein the continuity is either going down to reduction or rewarding to the next level. It fosters our call for being good and morally obligated to do wrong if at all you want to reach the final destination.

Like a child when he does something good, he's given something that makes him feel inspired to do it better and better. On the other side if a child had been bad, then bam, in isolation...

Now granting that this is true, it to me, fosters us all to do good and when that happens then we achieve the world of the enlightened...

Absolutely. In every way. Technology, education, information, medical, etc.

Very enlightening to read the ideas and opinions shared in this blog! I am one who is seeking,reading,listening.... in a continuing quest for information/ideas that add or improve my perception of life and truth. Let me say this blog has opened new thoughts to explore...it is like the Pandora Box....and why not.....there should be no limits to ideas that open our minds and may bring a better understanding of life and this world. Reading and exploring ideas are a priviledge for those of us who are able to do it....we are fortunate in being able to understand the written word as we are doing here.
Thank you Lindsey and all those who commented...life should be a continuing journey of learning...with an open mind and always seeking the concept of truth. We may not always agree but each person has the right to think and share his/her thoughts.

Exactly my point Avias. It's not enough to settle and accept our limitations. After all if you look at the record of man's progress, it's a journey that is both committed to the exploration of limitless possibilities.

Einstein, Newton, Plato, and countless experts in being remarkably intelligent exemplifies that we, too, can become like them. Tenacity, drive, commitment and passion are the keys that take us there. But having an open mind is the gate that allow us to. So let's be positive and accept that its available for us all. Thanks.
