NORA ANTONY: "What's the first thing I asked you to think of? Yourself. I think, therefore I am. That "I" didn't die. That's consciousness and that's what we are in the business of keeping going. All right, why do you think it feels weird and unnatural here. Because your consciousness can think and compare with your memories. That's still you. You know, doing what you always did. Thinking and being alive. And I'm sure there are plenty of people, including me for one, that are glad you're still here. I may not know you yet, but I'd like to. I get it, you know, this isn't perfect. And maybe you were led to believe it would be since the marketing mentions heaven, like, a dozen times. But it's kind of better, isn't it? I mean, maybe the imperfections make it more like life, 'cause life isn't perfect. But life is the most magical gift there is and if there's God, he's amazing because he gave us life and the gratitude and creativity to keep it going as long as we possibly can." |
