I can respond here Alien. To answer about solitary journey...ask yourself...when have you ever been truly alone? All your life as you know it there were others on your journey with you, why do you think after death it would/should be any different? What is your view of the afterlife? A place where you are SURE there no others warriors around?
My posts in this thread seem to be disappearing, but I shall make on more attempt. For you Nu Lang, perhaps it is not the case, but I can understand what alien is saying about being alone.
We are born alone, we die alone. I've spent the majority of my life alone and while there may be a warrior that pops into it from time to time, I know this is my joureny and mine alone to make. So just because there are others with us, right now, does not mean that we are not still completely alone. I don't think there are words to adequately describe this to those who do not feel this way. Either you get the alone thing, or you don't. I know a couple of people who get this, not including alien, and for them, and for me, the realization brings a complete and utter sadness, yet at the same time, it also brings a freedom!
To be alone in the physical sense, none of us have really been exposed to this in a long-term way as to say we could do it through infinity, again that's excruciating to even endure, and no one has even come close to knowing what that experience would be like because alwasy there have been people in our lives. Also, we see people die and assume what they experience is done 'alone' but if dying is like entering a dream, we know that dreams contain other dreamers too. Where is there a true void of isolation? Ever? Only in our individual perception do we experience loneliness, outside us there are always 'beings' traveling with us, both friends and foes and strangers. I say its good to have our friends with us. Why would one not seek this?
I have already said perceiving is a solitary affair. And I know it well, very very well. Sooner then you had to I'd say becasue I lost my mother at age 18 months and had to endure that loneliness at such a young age. Also, my name Wei Nu Lang means Lone She-wolf.
To be permanently absent from the physical body means the physical death of the body has happened. Our awareness continues onward forever into eternity//infinity. There is plenty of evidence that we are not alone in the afterlife. Just as in birth , there is someone pushing us out , someone helping to pull us out. So we are never really alone in conception or birth. Why would death be any different?
I was once in a crowd of people that numbered near a million people. At one point I found myself " lost " not knowing where my friends or family members went. I quickly remembered we all had agreed on a designated meeting place if anyone thought they were lost.
