i have never understood why some folks believe that some guy, long
dead and dust, has more authority than anyone else.  why would i
consider the imaginings of some "sage" or "holy man" to be more valid
than my own imaginings?  i have a wonderful imagination and am able to
imagine myself as male or female, i can imagine myself not only living
in the past but in future scenarios too.  i can imagine myself flying
as a bird or swimming as a dolphin or existing as some being on
another planet.  in my imagination i can be .. well .. anything or
anyone imaginable.

really enjoy the stories in the Gita.  the Krishna myths are very
colorful, imaginative and lush .. lots of neat characters and cool
battles with demons and such.  but i enjoy sci fi too and i got as
much spiritual insight from Frank Herbert's Dune books as i did from
any "sacred text" i've read.

there might be such a thing as reincarnation .. could be such things
as parallel universes and simultaneous timelines too but since theres
no way (as yet) to prove such concepts to be fact, i being self
honest, will remain agnostic.  if there's anything to experience after
my body dies i'll experience when i get there.  might be a real
adventure .. might be nothing at all.
