EGspirit

I have very good reasons to believe the mind continues after the body dies. Perhaps we'll get into that, if you're interested, in this string, but I'm more interested in speculating about what the afterlife would have to be like, if there is such a t...

For the record, I hope my patient was able to hear me. I doubt it, but I hope so. I did my best for him and his family, and my best is something I have always had a very good reputation for as a nurse, even among people who didn't like me. Keep in mi...

He was comatose. Nothing hurt or offended him...

You don't get it. And I'm damn sure not going to explain myself to you.

I'm just a bit confused. When I worked in psych, where we did a drug screen on everyone, they test for opiates, not for any particular opiate on a drug screen. I don't even know if there is a test for just Fentanyl as opposed to hydrocodone, or morph...

It doesn't burst my bubble. I wish you the best of luck finding the right man. It's not easy to do these days. Indeed. You do make an interesting point there. Because I've thought about that in the past. God (or the mind of God) can't deny that I...

I'm not surprised you don't feel like the same person. The nurse at whatever level (PCT, CNA, LPN, RN) does earn a living, but they are in a vocation of service to earn that living, and that vocation of service--dare I say it: compassion and caring--...

I wish I had a wife like you. I wish I was a husband that deserved a wife like you. In any case, you are a very positive light. Thank you for your comment, khminh.

Honestly, I don't think so either. Clearly it is either continued experience or 0 existence. EGspirit will cease to exist, just as I do every day, just as I do when I enter a dream. After all, EG is something that exists in this world, and I will die...

No, the onus is on you. Why? Because I couldn't care less if you believe the way I do, or if you know what I know. If you're not seeking answers, if you couldn't give two bits for the afterlife, or if you're a materialist through-and-through, then ju...

I understand. And I agree.

I absolutely agree with you. The idea that I will go to heaven is like hell to me. I mean there's no way I would occupy an important place in the Kingdom of God. I know me, and that just couldn't happen. So, while I'm slaving away making burgers and ...

What do you think this is? School? I'm not doing your work for you. You look it up. Google discriminate learning in paramecium. Especially, read the paper by the scientists (Armus, et al) at the University of Toledo. But go one step further. Instead ...

So, is that what you believe? That's not true, but I will challenge the beliefs of others in order to test them for myself, to see if they can modify what I believe. Because it's not just enough to belch out, "I believe this..." That's not good e...

Are you two twins? No sir, we are not relations. --Forest Gump

It's not some kind of judgement on SIP. It's the fact that he or she simply leads a material existence and probably doesn't want an afterlife. Maybe we have to want it to get it. But I still believe that some people will and some won't. I mean, not e...

I could certainly agree with that to some extent, because the experiences we have here in this life, are what we make dreams out of when we sleep. So, it may very well be the case that the universe we go to--we are creating now in our minds.

Really? How do you know that? Well, according to you, there's nothing. And you stated that categorically up above, so, Buffy notwithstanding, you seem to already know there's nothing. I just want to know how you know that so I can stop worrying abo...

You're still wrong. Delta waves on an EEG indicate a functioning brain. They do not represent a functioning mind--at least not necessarily. So, you're still spouting faith and trying to sound like an intellectual. It's not working. Trust me--you're...

My guess is you will be taking routine vitals (BP, RR, HR, Temp, 02 sat). Be good at this. Use the equipment properly and get accurate results. Don't put the BP cuff over a shirt or sweatshirt with the mic turned around to the tricep. Be professional...

Well, of course, I don't know that I will, but it seems logical that it would be like a dream state. A mind, no longer connected to the physical world by way of a body, it would seem, would begin to imagine its environment--like we do in dreams. It s...

Jackets are worn by people when they go outside. So, I can't be wearing my hoodie now, because I'm not outside.

Now, I am going to bed. I will dream. I dream every night, all night. Why should I think it will be any different when I die?

That's legitimate. That's a legitimate way of dealing with life and what comes after it. I can't fault anyone who says they simply want eternal rest. I don't know if I do or not. More and more, these days, I want God's will. And I don't mean that fr...

How do you know? How do you know consciousness is a product of physiology? It's a simple question: How do you know that? No offense, but frankly you sound ignorant. You don't know, but you believe what you're supposed to believe according to what o...
