1. The document discusses different concepts of immortality including spiritual immortality where the spirit lives on after death, physical immortality through restoring the physical body, and cosmic immortality where humans return to the eternal cosmos.
2. It also explores hypothetical ideas like fame and memorial immortality where one is remembered after death, as well as transhumanist ideas involving extending lifespan through technologies like cryogenics, cloning, and brain emulation.
3. The document notes there are always two sides to immortality and questions whether it is always a blessing, bringing up myths involving drawbacks like selling one's soul, feeling alone, or taking on vampire-like cravings for blood.
Life After Death or Afterlife according to different religionsAparna Gangopadhyay
The afterlife (also referred to as life after death or the hereafter) is the belief that an essential part of an individual's identity or consciousness continues to exist after the death of the body. According to various ideas about the afterlife, the essential aspect of the individual that lives on after death may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, of an individual, which carries with it and may confer personal identity or, on the contrary, may not, as in Indian nirvana. Belief in an afterlife, which may be naturalistic or supernatural, is in contrast to the belief in oblivion after death.

Does death mean the end of life or does it just open the door to a new life, a new dimension or another world? If human consciousness survives the experience of death, then what determines its transition to new realities?
Reincarnation is not just some belief system or psychological means of escaping death, but a precise science that explains our past and future lives. Many books have been written on the subject, mostly based on hypnotic regression, clinical death, or reports from out-of-body experiences. This slide presentation will give a detailed explanation of the phenomenon of reincarnation from the perspective of the ancient culture and philosophy of the Vedas - the first written literature in the history of mankind.

Ignite Talk Web of Change 2013: Homeostasis, Change, Addiction & LoveNik Beeson
This Ignite (5 mins, 15 secs per slide - GO!) was presented at the Web of Change Conference 2013, at Balcones Springs just outside of Austin, TX. Huge thanks to the WOCMob for welcoming this errant pitch!
In response to my opening statement "I’m curious why orgs and people fiercely protect outrageous poisonous bullshit that will kill them, while resisting change that is blatantly obviously healthy and liberating.", I trace an origin of 'Things' - conceptual, biological, then psychological - asserting that ego is a 'homeostatic' entity. I propose that ego is built up by 'habits' cycling around core desires, and that addiction reifies into a 'cyclostatic' resistance to change. Addiction is self-generating and delusional, both of which are relatively good descriptions of many orgs resistant to, for example, climate change science. Addictive structures, functioning in denial, are also exceedingly resistant to love, whose nature is revelatory. Situations where love directly encounters addiction are typically 'apocalyptic'.
When we think about the theory of evolution, one thought creeps into every thoughtful mind that if we have evolved through apes (like beings), this evolution will not stop here. Homo sapiens is the most modern, most developed, strongest, wisest version. Evolution is a continuous process, and, in the future, as per the survival of the fittest and, ironically, even the most powerful, we will evolve into some other, even better species! Well, without a doubt, it sounds immensely positive and hopeful.
Till now, we look at the sequence of evolution as (beings similar to) apes which have evolved into Homo Sapiens and will continue to do so until perfection. Hypothetically we can look at this sequence through exactly the opposite perspective, which leads us from being the most developed Humans to present-day Homo Sapiens through devolution. If this devolution continues, Homo-Sapiens will devolve into (beings similar to) apes. In either case, evolution and devolution are not stagnant or permanent processes. Even if either pinnacle is achieved, it won’t stop, for change is constant in the universe. This thought/idea leads to a cyclic pattern of occurrences, which provides a base for further research.
Modern science has only analysed the previous scenario, whereas it should have been looked at both ways; for the present-day scenario of exploitation of domesticated animals, unethical use of armaments and finances, man’s hunger to attain power and quest to intrude into the workings of nature through experimentations of Artificial Intelligence etc. portray a different, fearful scene in front of our eyes. Also, suppose survival of the fittest is valid due to the increasing human race population and enhanced disparity. In that case, that day does not seem far when the more powerful humans start to massacre the less powerful ones to maintain their beloved planet's population.
In this paper, an attempt has been made to reflect this theory by adding consciousness and then by analysing the same through the glass of time cycle in Jain philosophy. This indicates that what we understand as evolution is actually devolution.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. 1. Einsteinian Immortality. The world is a time-space whole in which the past
(including every human person) will always exist.
2. Spiritual Immortality. When my body dies I will nevertheless continue to
live; my spirit (as a multi-staged life or career) will continue to have experiences.
3. Cosmic Immortality. We came from the eternal cosmos and upon death will
return to the cosmic mind.
4. Physical Immortality. The pattern of components that constitute my body (e.g.
my brain) may be disrupted to the extent that the pattern no longer physically
exists; restoration of the pattern to functional physical existence would resurrect
