What after death?

This question simply remains, despite several answers, discussions, even attempts to explore for oneself by oneself too....

(My comfort zone is in keeping the question alive rather than trying to hurry up, finding a quick-fix, a patch-program, patch-code, to fix it up, looking at it like an irksome-bug!)

What will happen to us after death?

Pls share your guess and dreams


My reply:

Oh! If only we are able to find out how we experience ourselves, our life, our life energy, our being , while in deep sleep, we need not guess at all. First hand experience, irrefutable evidence is right within us. Looks unacceptable. But, we experience everything right now, only through sensory levels. During sleep, and during death, these sense organs are withdrawn. (All our knowledge, data bank, info, etc are right now acquired only through the sense organs. That is why the doubt. But it is good to know. We get up from sleep when we are eager to know if we are alive.... not when sleep quota is over or when body is well rested, as widely believed... in fact a few of us mix up rest and sleep quota even.... Some days, we are more tired after sleep, or more sleepy after waking.... ).
The very first problem is to know that death has happened (none of the sense organs work, after death, as during sleep too!).
..
India, being a spiritually oriented place, with rich heritage, long history, had many great Masters, who had evolved several techniques to know before hand, as to how to handle that 'life' after death. Deep meditations afford 'death' like experience, while alive (while the experience through body is available).
..
Medical science is yet to clearly define death. They only 'certify' clinical death. What makes life tick, is still a mystery for science. What makes a child come out of the womb, when it is placed so comfortably with food, etc, right within the womb is still a mystery.

Opposite of Mathematics!

Opposition is the order of the day!

Moms use this 'trick' to get a child to eat that bitter vegetable (concerned about the kid's health), by trying to use negative psychology oriented dialogues, and it works at times, till the kid gets 'wiser'! What the mom does not realize is that quite inadvertently the child imbibes a negative attitude too! It 'learns' that 'opposing' is a virtue to be consciously cultivated, because it works.

And then this kid juxtaposes another virtuous concept of 'questioning' over this opposition-trick, and further complicates one's own maze of logical concepts!

Over a period of time, it becomes a trait of 'revolt' , repulsion, aversion, and what not!

(please see, perhaps, only perhaps, or maybe, .... embracing of things advocated against by elders at homes, are a result of this 'sense of revolt' , to assert their individuality, more than the love for the 'other/s' (or other things), by the youth/youngsters....

..

So subtle is the 'emotion' management.

I wonder if that MBA would be needed at all for a lone dweller of an isolated island, which has good self sustainable vegetation, and other life supporting resources! All that this lone person needs would be ability to produce, preserve and sustain. The varied branches of Business Management presupposes the need to 'deal' with other human beings in our life, and this basic concept, if true gets grossly overlooked while attempting to grasp its (MBA's) other finer concepts!

..

(Very consciously, I have chosen not to offer elaboration to the concepts that I have tried to dwell upon in the foregoing narrative, to avoid any inadvertent unpleasant reminders by stirring of memories of the reader.... If the concepts are felt acceptable, 'rewinding' of such memories can be at a different occasion, serving a nobler purpose of 'healthy introspection'... though, introspection in itself, does not find any patronage with even eminent philosophers like the revered seer “JK”!!)

Anyway, I felt tickled to find a question 'framed' thus..... opposite of maths!

Opposite of Mathematics?

Usually we deal things in mathematical and logical styles . even if one dont know mathematics his style can be explained by using mathematics. much of the things are explained on the basis of mathematical language whether it is phisics, cricket games, economics etc etc. much of the subjects built over mathematics or they can be explained using mathematics whether it is economics or political science. i just wanted to ask what is that approach which dont use mathematics and cant be explined even by using mathematical models or simply non related by mathematics .


My answer:

Intuitive aspect of the mind, that manifests through emotions...... is the 'opposite' of maths (or, non-mathematical, beyond logic...)
Appreciation of music, painting, beauty etc is non-mathematical. That is why Japanese people had to use "fuzzy" logic while designing a clothes-washing machine, which could decide if the clothes are washed "enough" clean!!!
Love, anger, hate, jealousy, sentiments etc are non-mathematical.
..
All these spring forth out of emotional aspect.
That Robot hero in the English movie "The Terminator" is unable to grasp anything that is non-mathematical, that is why it asks the kid... 'what is wrong with your eyes'.... later asks 'why do you (humans) get 'tears'..... and still later declares 'Now I know why you cry!'..... It is a fictional movie... so the story writer has the freedom to imagine a Robot that can learn about emotions. But in real life, we do not even have any institution, school, organisation etc to teach emotions to even we the human beings.
