lets twist this whole thing on its head. if they drank the koolaid (which has ironically become part of the english language) they knew that they weren't going to physically walk onto some sort of space ship. however, religious people, myself included, tend to believe in supranatural, metaphysical, spiritual realms and existences, where the physical is irrelevant. that being said, who is to say these people were so deceived, in the sense of, who is to say they were looking to board some sort of physical space craft to begin with? further, they not being here to explain, who is to say they did not make it such a space craft, even if only in some sort of spiritual sense. after all, billions of people live and die believing there is much more to it all, and could we as the human race in general, be that wrong?

It was not voluntary. They practiced drinking the koolaid several times. It always reminds me of how the US Govt had their children practice duck and cover. Practice for mass murder.

oh yes, I am well aware of the violence at Jonestown, though I am slightly skeptical of the testimonies of the "survivors" who ran off in the woods to watch their families die from a better vantage point (ie, they might have embelleshed the amount of coercion in order to exonerate their own senses of guilt and despair), I was referring to the Heavens gate people.

I have always had this theory.

HUmans perception of the flow of time can be altered by many many things, frfrom personal body chemistry to drugs to meditation etc.

when one is happy and enjoying something time flies, and when one is suffering or bored time trickles.

well, I think that all of mystical teaching and religious teaching and wisdom is always guided to having the individual lead a good life so that they feel certain that they will go to a "heaven" f some sort, or achieve nirvana or enlightenment etc.
opposite of that is the instruction and indoctrination that if life is led badly, and without shame or forgiveness or redemption, then you will either go to a "hell" or just be forbiden from the grace of god or enlightenment or nirvana, whatever the individual teaching is does not matter.

Having said this, the statements "on earth as it is in heaven" makes sense. The afterlife is what you believe it will be, but not because it is real and actual, but because as you die, as your life is extinguished, time dilates in an exponentially increasing manner, so the last thought of a human as they pass is extended infninitely.

a person who believes in heaven and honestly feels they have led a good life can die without fear, without doubts weighing on their conscience. This "bliss" is experienced exponentially as everlasting grace, or oneness with god/universe, or entering heaven, or achieving nirvana.

If one believs, as the Hebrew fatih does, that after death comes an eternal dreamles slumber, then as one dies,one expects to do this and the death becomes an infnite falling into sleep, which for most people is quite pleasant, if not ecstatic.

If one believes that they have not achieved redemption, or if they know that they ave led a wicked life, with miore bad than good, and are weighed by guilt and such feelings, negative feelings, or anger, etc., then the last seconds of life are an exponetial infinity of that emotion, thereby feeling like eternal "hell" or eternal damnation or eternal separation from the grace of a god or gods.

this would probably apply to death by disease, or in old age, or by accident as in "life flashing before your eyes" as well, and if that life is joyous, with minimal harm aimed at anyone with maximum good directed at the world and at people then....


i don;t know how else to put it. I have thought about it a lot. i think i will write it all down.

Sorry, I made this thread from an Atheist point of view. Hope I didn't offend or anything.

not at all, I was just trying to give a little perspective from the people who killed themselves... after all, it seems they believed it, and what is important sometimes in understanding events, is not what the truth was, but what people believed to be the truth. for example, millions of people live everyday believing in the so-called American dream, even though we can historically and stastically prove that it is a full myth, and yet, it is the motivation for millions to participate in the American system every day, simply because they continue to believe. belief is a very powerful force, much more so then accuracy.
