Do you believe in the soul?

Excellent movie right there.

Yet the writings come from an organization of men. So, yeah…

Hmm, I see your point. I’ve never thought of it from that perspective. I’ll have to give it more thought before I can answer.

Although, I do intuitively feel the soul exists and there some permanence to it even after life.

They could have come from wimmen if Peter and Paul didn’t hate Mary Magdalene so much.

Edit: but also, bedtimes. Good luck & good conversations moving forward.

There’s this quote and idr who said it or exactly how it went, but it was along the lines of ā€œI don’t fear death, I was dead long before I was alive so that’s natural for me.ā€

Personally the fact that we exist at all is super cool to me, I’m okay if this is all I get. As hippy as it sounds we’re just… an extension of the universe in a way (assuming science is right).

That said I’m 90% sure Queen Elizabeth was reincarnated as Trisha Paytas’ daughter so. Take my opinion with a grain of salt.

So a cycle then?

I think it was more of a ā€œReturn to form.ā€

Like if death is merely the absence of consciousness, then that’s what we were long before what we are now, and that’s what we’ll go back to.

Personally, idk what there is or isn’t. I care a little, but there’s nothing I can do about that. I don’t think anyone really has it right- Science is probably the most accurate based on our current understanding of things- but who knows?

ā€œDeath is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.ā€

J.R.R. Tolkien

If only it were so.

This is what I believe happened after death

I do think there is a difference between going from nothing into something then going from something into nothing.

There is a difference between getting food when you are hungry versus never getting food again after you ate. Sure you started out hungry and you’re returning to it but it’s not a desirable state.

To me, I believe we have souls and the body is just a vessel to hold it. Some people lose theirs along the way and the husk remains behind.

I think both in a way. Great friken question.

That quote always gives me chills when I read it. Massive chills if I’m watching the movie and hearing Gandalf say it. It’s a comforting idea, as well.

Can confirm

So many parts in that trilogy gives me chills. Theoden’s charge on the fields of Pelennor is one of them.

It was cinema perfected. Very, very few have come anywhere close to that level before or after.

Agreed. I don’t even look at it as cinema, but story telling that just happened to be confined to screen.

Honestly, it’s just pure art, both visually and audibly. That had some of, if not THE best music in anything ever.
