Meaning Lies As Much In The Mind

Many People Believe That Our Lives End Not When We Die But When The Very Last Person Who Knew Us Dies. Memory Is Part Of It, Yes, But I Think It's Much More Than Memory.

No Matter What Verbal Space You Try To Enclose Zen In, It Resists, And Spills Over... The Zen Attitude Is That Words And Truth Are Incompatible, Or At Least That No Words Can Capture Truth.

The Key Question Is, No Matter How Much You Absorb Of Another Person, Can You Have Absorbed So Much Of Them That When That Primary Brain Perishes, You Can Feel That That Person Did Not Totally Perish From The Earth... Because They Live On In A 'second Neural Home'?... In The Wake Of A Human Being's Death, What Survives Is A Set Of Afterglows, Some Brighter And Some Dimmer, In The Collective Brains Of Those Who Were Dearest To Them... Though The Primary Brain Has Been Eclipsed, There Is, In Those Who Remain... A Collective Corona That Still Glows.

You Make Decisions, Take Actions, Affect The World, Receive Feedback From The World, Incorporate It Into Yourself, Then The Updated 'you' Makes More Decisions, And So Forth, 'round And 'round.

This Idea That There Is Generality In The Specific Is Of Far-reaching Importance.
