I’ve never actually read the book ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’ but I do feel somewhat akin to that phrase. I’m like a motorcycle mechanic that had spirituality thrust deeply into his mental toolbox. And it wasn’t my asking or my fault: it just happened and I have to make the best with it.
I was the kind of guy who took things apart just to understand how they worked: often, I could even put them back together too but the dismantling and comprehending was more important to me. I say was, but I’m still like that. Spirituality was just something I could fake if trying to date a hot religious girl. Then I had a death experience and I changed. Well, parts of me changed. I still liked understanding things and now I had a death experience to disassemble to its component parts. And I no longer have to fake my spirituality with a spiritual girl.
<<—<< This is AWESOME! It puts subliminal power to a good use.
I took death apart like I would disassemble a lawn-mower motor and I examined each piece to see how it fit in and worked with the other elements of death. I don’t know of anyone else who has ever done that. What emerged for me from my self-examination of the parts of my death experience, was a logical progression. Death makes complete sense to me now. I understand death and by my comprehension of death, I fathom life and afterlife too. But my vision of eternity and spiritual maintenance is different than any religious or philosophical theory I’ve ever heard of.
Are you interested in learning about how I interpret life, death and afterlife? If so, follow along as I blog. Also I’m thinking of writing a book. It won’t be a super long one and I’ll likely just sell it as a digital version – (if I finish it at all). Would you be interested in a mechanical description of death and beyond? Please verbally kick me in the butt if you want me to get to work on writing it.
