Pretty good analogy. Another good one is a flame lighting another flame ect.... it will not be the same flame but it resembles that flame. And yes it would matter because that person has his same intuition just like a Christian does, and thats how he knows right from wrong too. Thats how Christians know there is a god. A priori knowledge. So its like having another chance each time, and knowing by your actions which caste system you will go in. Knowing that there is a caste system and that you can be born into either a higher one or lower is like the Christian question " Who wants to go to hell!" as a minister so eloquently put Christianity once.
I don't know anything about the Law of Faith so i wont presume i do, except that it is not science. As for a soul, i find it fishy. So many cultures believe in a soul, but when we look for it in the brain its no where to be found and every cultures definition is different, just like there other beliefs. So maybe there is not a soul but what Pop was saying. A consciousness that arose from neurons and dendrites causing synapses in a brilliant way. We can observe the brain and there is still much to know. But science is not going extraordinary claims like ... Jesus zombie will arise and bring about the messianic age giving his followers the knowledge to be perfect again and live in his kingdom... Its just doesn't follow the consistency of human history.
I agree, and I would call this aim meaning, and the meaning in ones life and what he does will define that person.
Hmmm...
Whats more important - To know thyself, to know what makes you first. If its tiny bits of atoms and spaces clumped. And then a brain, with neurons and dendrites causing synapses. Or is it better to know your meaning; kind of life to live first? Does existence precede essence? Because what a person is, if hes a Christian can mean eternal hell or salvation, or being reincarnated as a slug for that matter. but what does a Christian or Hindu put first? Does this question relate to the recollection of a priori knowledge.
