- There is something else between physical body and 'Soul/Atma' that never dies.

\n

- Demystifies death

\n

- Six stages of existence - 

\n

- Why don't we go back to an older birth? Why can't we remember previous births?

\n

- Is our karmas and balancing karmas a most convoluted balance sheet like a family owned business?

\n

- Past does not add value. Memory is just a memory - emotions create a baggage

\n

- We cannot live in the past; nor future; only present.

\n

- Is time a mental construct?

\n

- Is time subjective? How do we reconcile that different species have different life spans?

\n

- Go to no=mind state, we become ageless.

\n

- How do you explain to kids /family members who may be dying - that it is all irrelevant?

\n

- Is it ok to plant 'seeds' in children's mind of our beliefs?

\n

- Do these teachings give emotional succor or are they mere intellectual construct?

\n

- Not born, not dies - organ donation - does it make sense?

\n

-Living in the present is not chronological time - it is living in the dimension of eternality

\n

-Do scriptures talk of euthanasia? Abortion? 

\n

-When we die, is it happy event or sad event?
