My personal research:
1. Do we really know the essence of "life"? Even if we know the origin or occurrence of the most primitive life may come from the swamp in the volcanic hot spring pool. Some creatures grow in warm water and then become active and begin to absorb the surrounding organisms. It formed the most primitive life --- but we still don't know the real reason for life.
2. If the origin of life on Earth is accidental (there is no indication that life was from God's creation) then how is the “perceived experience” or wisdom accumulated by life cognition?
3.I would rather believe that the “perceived experience” or wisdom accumulated by humans can change. If it is an "intellectual energy," it can only exist in different forms in constant "self-cognition" and refinement. However, if physics "energy saving" is true - then "intellectual energy" should not be eliminated. But this is still a guess, so it is not arbitrarily determined that this intellectual energy is eternal.
4. "Birth" is a state of existence. Relative to this "life", death refers to the decay, destruction and even deconstruction of this material into a molecular state. However, "pure energy" or "intellectual energy" does not get destroyed by physical material and disappear at the same time using battery as an example. Or we can compare this with the hard disk data. When we find hard disk in the computer is unstable or the C slot got virus, we can use an external hard disk to back up the data then format the original hard disk and reload the program or even replace Internal hard disk. As long as it is handled properly then the data will not be destroyed by the hard disk failures.
5. People can kill ghosts (people can kill people), ghosts could kill ghosts, too. "Killing" is just destroying the spirit, not destroying "sensing" (consciousness or spirituality); it is as if I have several software files backed up, simply smash the computer hardware can't completely eliminate the software. Even if I write the program, the original program is still in my mind, it still can't destroy the invisible program (I used to write computer programs).
6. However, the continuation of the fifth point: in case, there is a program written by me in early stage but I am old with the degraded memory now. If all the storage devices of the software are completely destroyed, I can't fully remember the full details of the program and these defragmented programs would not work.
7. In fact, after the ghost is killed, the state is a bit like the 6th point. The original program will only be a bit of a piece of contents, like a scattered DATA. If there is no main program to RUN, more DATA is useless. Just like having all the secrets of "the fortune telling"--if there is no formula for calculating, it is the same as waste.
8. Look at lightning, such a large amount of energy, if you can't control it, besides watching the admiration and shock, what can humans do?
9. I personally think that dozens of old books that have been broken and remnant will not be combined into a masterpiece. A lot of discarded pieces will not be automatically converted into a new program; The A ghost's piece of knowledge (Atheism) and B ghost accumulation of "perceived experience" or wisdom (believing in God) and C ghosts of spiritual knowledge (only believe in The Heaven Daiost) ----- etc. these pieces from ghost broken consciousness would reassemble then form a new "soul" (or ghost)? I can't agree this point.
10. I personally knowledge is very limited but I have heard a saying that the magical power of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva can aggregate these single spiritual abilities to restore their "ghost body". But I do not believe or agree with this statement.
11. I have talked about "good and evil" many times. There is no "good and evil" in the natural world of the universe. "Good and evil" is only a tentative standard for the rules of the game in human society; it is like the rules of "baseball" and "basketball". In contrast, the rules of "basketball" and "soccer" are different; basketball use hand, beats and passes the ball, and the football would violate the rule if touch by hand (not gate guard); then the rules of the basketball are right or the rules of the football are correct, or the basketball is more kind, the football comparison would be more brutal? Therefore, regarding this argument, I personally disagree with the view point from someone but just to respect his views and post the original text .
12. Regarding the so-called revolving and reincarnating beings in this world--this it just that someone first puts forward the concept of "Karma" and then combine the self-righteous good and evil and the superstition believed in it. I have different perceptions and opinions; it is not any specific people could propose "Karma" (could be respected as one creative achievement). It has already existed there first. Some people pay attention to it and put forward the theory of "karma", plus the subjective "good and evil" theory of human beings. However, reincarnation is a mechanism of natural formation. It is not a scam and does exist at all. The reincarnation about six category beings and three level worlds are all there but it must be viewed in a very independent perspective so could identify this illusion.
Questions with different statements from all others—welcome the joint discussion and not my only conclusion!
