[MD] The differentiating nothingness

[Peter Corteen]

Hi David M,

That reminds of the time I tried to convince someone that their belief in
heaven was ridiculous; I first asked him if he believed  there will be
chairs and stuff in heaven, he looked puzzled and started referring to
something in the Bible, eventually he gave a hesitant 'Yes. I then asked him
if he would have a handle on those things in heaven. The conversation then
went off at a tangent.

Does everyone agree that consciousness necessarily implies the conception of
self? But there is no perception of self.  Self is the focal summary of the
perceived other, be that other flesh and blood or  tables and chairs.  I
think  for my friend if he believes his sense of  self will continue in
heaven then his heaven can only be in a time and place just like this world.

Peter
