And since this is a music site, from "Tumbling Tumble Weeds"

   "I know when night has gone
    There's a new world born at dawn..."

When (or IF) I should die, does that mean that the universe no longer beholds itself? I have watched as other beings have winked out of existence and yet I continue and the world continues. That pretty much convinces me that SHOULD I, too, wink out, IT will continue...for a while yet.

And yes, LH, I can argue both side. I can see it both ways. The deepest reality is that which lies at the core of your being. That is always the target of the brain washers. If they can get you to doubt the "Watcher Within" then they (whoever they are) can break you. The human soul is not quantifiable beyond "one", that is, one per person. It cannot be measured or weighed and yet it is that soul which directs our behavior. Where is the soul? Where is Heaven, indeed? Where the Lord is, there am I. The Apostle Paul said "Let your conversation* be, as it were, in heaven." *The meaning of conversation here actually means how one conducts their life. Yes there is a judgement and this life is your presentation of the evidence. I could say more about that but then I'm drifting from the topic a little--- Or preaching!
