On The Afterlife
What other question than this could religion be most concerned with ? Once again, Mr. B. tackles this question with clarity.
” What happens to ordinary good people? Our model suggests that merit as acquired during life takes the form of potential existence and therefore doesn’t degenerate with time. Such merit is derived exclusively from acts of will. All other actions are the result of pre-existing causes, that is, of conditioning and their results must be confined to the conditioned world. Soul making has been rightly compared to procreation and the formation of the soul has been called rebirth.”
” It is very necessary to distinguish betweeen those who attempt such a task relying on their own strength and those who can do nothing without the help of the Unconditional Will. The first are false prophets, who deceive themselves and others. The second kind belong - consciously or unconsciously - to the future soul of humanity, called the Communion of Saints.”
