Thread Name: BS: Why should we die?
Subject: RE: BS: Why should we die?
Interesting point, Wolfgang. Indeed, change is the spice of life, and any condition without end would be a serious problem, to put it mildly. I don't think of eternal life (of the soul, I mean) as being without change, however. It's not a static condition. I think of it as being a continuing process of change and of further evolution on every level of being...just as life is.

The ocean, for example, is almost immortal (compared to us, anyway), but it's also always changing. That's how I think of the soul...always learning, always experiencing, always changing.

If this doesn't fit some archaic Christian notion of "heaven" (and it doesn't)...fine with me.
