Where Do We Go When We Die?

Posted on by

I believe in the ‘wisdom‘ of dreams, and based on a dream I had many years ago, I know the answer to “Where Do We Go When We Die?“

I’ve often wondered where heaven is or where is hell. These locations must be huge to take on so many souls. How can such locations exist? I think that one has to stop thinking about actual physical space, and instead think about internal space.

Think about the brain and all the memories that it houses. One can picture virtually anything: details of your life; the vastness of oceans; world historical events; even planets in outer space.

In my dream, I learned that those who are about to die or have just died, have one final dream in their present reality.  That final dream becomes their next reality.  The dreamer does not have a choice… the dream is preordained by God.  Pleasant dreams become a “pleasant” new reality – Nightmares become a “nightmare” reality.  Both become opportunities to continue the path to spiritual enlightenment.

So one’s conscious self lives on in a higher state of entropy, or the number of ways in which a system can be altered without changing its overall energy. Everything proceeds to a higher level of entropy (Second Law of Thermodynamics). Your energy lives in a new virtual reality. To you, it is real in every way! You do not reincarnate back to earth. You just live on in your new reality until once again you die, and have another ‘final’ dream. The process may be endless?

That’s it, that’s what happens when we die – at least in my dream. And no, I did not ingest any mind altering substances prior to sleeping.

It was just a dream… or was it?

In Search Of An ‘Ear Linguist’

Posted on by

Several years ago, I came up with an idea for an “Earlingo Headband.” You can see my original post via this link: Earlingo – The Animal Assisted Therapy Headband.

Earlingo is a headband with controllable canid (wolf/dog) ears on it. It can be used in human-animal assisted interactions, as well as to signal captive wild canids (wolves, foxes, etc.) in zoos or other such environments. This can aid in bio-behavioral studies.

I was really excited to build this project, but it was outside my scope of expertise. I quickly learned to really make this idea happen, I needed a university bioengineering student. A student who could become not only a designer, but a wild canid ‘ear linguist’ as well.

I decided that I needed to place an ad in a university setting and student newspaper. I chose Cal Berkeley as my first target, as they have superior engineering programs.

I asked my techie friend Larry what he might suggest. As typical he had a great idea; use a QR code, something that I would never have thought of doing.

I wrote up some text and gave him suggestions for a graphic. He used his AI expertise to come up with this ad design, which included the QR code.

Check out the QR code to read the ad. If you are not familiar with using QR codes, one way to access it is to focus your phone’s camera on the QR graphic. Your browser will detect the link. Just click on the displayed link to access the ad. Really cool!

Hopefully, I will find an engineering student who likes the Earlingo project as much as I do!
