I can only go with what has actually happened to me as truth for myself, not for others...simply because there is no way to prove it. It's only my word, and you know, that would never work in a court of law. It's the same with God. Where's the real proof? If you have it for yourself, that's fine. You can tell others, some believe you...others won't. If it's something you can't visually prove, it's only hearsay. Those who question seriously enough to look will find answers. It's the manner in which you look and where you look (sometimes with preconceived notions looking to back it up) that determines your "beliefs" (or lack of it). So in this method it may be proof for you, but it may not be proof for others. The way I've come see it, there is no such thing as death. True, our bodies give out and return to dust, and that dust over eons of time will change into something else. But this is the physical world, and it is not the reality. We put so much emphasis on it because it's all the physical mind can perceive. Anything else, except for the few who've somehow managed to get a little peek at eternity, is speculation. And those few have no right to insist to be believed...because there's...no proof other than to themselves.
