Life Beyond Life


Is it the eternal impact of silence in the wound of death? No one knows and few dare to answer. To suggest that there is something beyond what we are-physically-venture involves the imagination, move the intellect to a field whose epistemological conceptual logic and objectivity can overcome the common, and even violate the legitimacy of rational action. But, what other important question that can be the man about his fate?

The real philosophical proposal for this century, so critical to the survival of the human species, should be that, that is, the question of destiny 'postfĂ­sico' of human beings, if any. Establish a scientific and philosophical discourse on the possibilities of survival of the spirit in man. Difficult undertaking, especially when talking about scientific discourse, but not impossible, given the multitude of astrophysical theories that scientists have imagined beating the classics of science fiction.

This would be the meta-anthropological dimension of human physical. Heidegger Being sentenced to the time it makes the ordinary existence, as did Nietzsche, Sartre, and many others skeptical Cioran negative. So far, in general, has been the religious and spiritual community that wished to save man from the temporal dimension prefixed by their biological condition, and, in most cases have described an evolution marked by rewards or punishments, sins and right moral attitudes ... catching up of sick joke, a momentous question.

Psychologist Susan Blackmore has been repeated with great conviction that there is no consciousness that we are creatures designed to survive and nothing more, something like monkeys but with mortgages and social security. The concept of God and fear (two very similar words) have made this issue a matter of good or bad, of blind faith and childish clinging to what is already prescribed by the supposedly 'holy', is implicit in the inability to reach beyond by means of reason, intuition would suggest Descartes.

The fear prevents questioning what a particular community establishes as true and correct. Thus, the spirit of Western philosophy has been a compendium of Christian tenets or Semites, no other aim than the defense of their religious system (unquestioned and unquestionable).

Perhaps the most valuable literature in this regard, because of their broad conception of the idea of ​​God which has been developed advaita tradition of yoga. And this is also the best intellect can conceive of a healthy, uncorrupted by the prejudices of their social and moral system.

Probably, is my point of view, the first moral duty of man is to doubt the whole truth 'established' by all as 'true' and trying to go beyond, from a blank, clean, free of tax margins to begin to cross, blur everything that passes by our creative logic, reason, and perhaps out of there, not the definitive answer, but the beginning of another question that another reason logically creative, morally compelled, to respond .
