Let's explore different manifestations of The Afterlife, esp. if you never have!
Details
TONIGHT, October 30th at 7:30pm -- fine if you arrive ~8pm, let's explore different manifestations of The Afterlife, esp. if you never considered other manifestations for yourself!
Many of us come from a religious tradition where there is one and only one manifestation. Let's talk about many of them, not to see what is right or worse, what is MORE right, but to celebrate the diversity of manifestations. Let's have all traditions included in our circle.
Here are just a few of the many manifestations we will talk about tonight:
* Heaven and Hell (default across many Abrahamic traditions)
* Your own world/planet expressly for you and your family (LDS/Mormon tradition)
* A perfect earth or being gainfully employed to work in God's Bureaucracy of 144,000 souls, no more, no less (Jehovah's Witnesses)
* Valhalla (Nordic)
* Hades (Ancient Greek)
* Limbo/Purgatory (Roman Catholic *and* Muslim)
* Reincarnation and Nirvana (Buddhist/Hindu)
* Living in a room in God's House (mainstream Christian)
* Seven Circles of Hell (Dante's Inferno)
* Seven Levels of Heaven with rivers of wine and garments of gold and silk, including a certain drink to help you Ascend, accompanied by a companion with wide eyes, not necessarily a virgin (Muslim)
Please bring in our circle other traditions, such as Society of Friends/Quakers and the Hawai'ian tradition. Yes, I'm talking about you, CLAIRE AND SPAETH!
I have no doubt that the interfaith geeks among you have even more traditions to share, NATE ABU KHEIR!
"Six feet under" is no option. We'll be talking Afterlife, as in After Death. Hope to see you there!
