just a few side effects that already exist today and that could be resolved with more knowledge about Kamma, Heaven, Hell, Rebirth, Samsara and Nibbana.

Since 'letting go of life' isn't the common motive much energy may be put into fabrications of afterlife.

Verse 168. The Righteous Are Happy - Here And Hereafter
Rouse yourself, be diligent,
in Dhamma faring well.
Who dwells in Dhamma’s happy
in this birth and the next.
Explanation: Wake up to reality; do not be delude. Live in accordance with reality. The realistic person lives happily in this world and in the next.
Verse 178. Being Stream-Winner Is Supreme
Than o’er the earth sole sovereignty,
than going to heaven,
than lordship over all the worlds:
better the Steam-winner’s fruit.
Explanation: The achievement of the stream-winner is the primary stage in the attainment of spiritual success. The state is greater than being a universal monarch, or reaching heaven.

Since one can only live happily in this world it is realistic to focus on that and not fabricate another future world.Lucas Oliveira wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 1:08 am Explanation: Wake up to reality; do not be delude.

On the other hand the uncommon motive may be to let go of life as such and to experience the happiness resulting from that, neither in this nor in any fabricated future life.

You're confusing nephesh with psuche. Soul sometimes means life-force and sometimes immaterial mind. It could be said in Buddhism jiva is nephesh and citta is psuche.cappuccino wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 7:34 pmAnd what is undeclared by me? ... 'The soul & the body are the same'...

right. In OT soul is just life force and in NT is immaterial mind. When the sutta says it can't tell if jiva and body are same or different it means if life force and body are same or different. Because obviously immaterial mind, citta, is different from body.

End the counting of the mail-in essays!
This is a frivolous joke that can be deleted without objection if it rubs anyone the wrong way.

What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

when I was young, I met a ghost, with several others…
we were gathered in a field, near an abandoned house…
she was suddenly among us, spoke to us, then she vanished…
three decades later, I heard she was haunting a house…
the same description of the ghost…
when I heard, that confirmed what we suspected about her
