What I Believe Happens After Death : My Conundrum of Good and Evil/The Predestination Theory

What I Believe Happens After Death

By Adam Mundorf

What's the worst thing that a person can imagine?  Oftentimes it's death, even though it's called the great unknown.  Nobody knows what happens after this life, it could end up being the greatest ever.  In the following passage, I'll give my idea on what happens after death.

What I Believe Happens After Death
Let's start with birth and death.  One day we just started remembering and doing.  We became an easily malleable soul.  What was before that?  Nothing that we know of.  In a way, death is just as natural as birth.  It happens at different times, in different ways and oftentimes not at an ideal time.  

As with anything in life, everything is connected and everything matters.  A butterfly effect of things change events around the world and for eternity, no matter how insignificant.  I dropped a pencil in New Jersey in 2003 and it caused a Chinese man to get run over by a bus in 2020.  Einstein said that energy can't be created nor destroyed, so your essence or your energy needs to go somewhere.  I believe that when we die, our energy bleeds into our next existence.  A form of reincarnation is the thing that makes sense to me.  One day I was born and my life began, before that there was nothing.  One day my eyes will open again and I will be a soul once again.  No recollection of my past life but reaping the benefits of my former virtuous life.  Where good was done and the good energy paves the way forward into my new existence, constantly inching me closer to the eternal goal.

My belief is that we keep on recycling our energy until we reach a state of nirvana.  Essentially, we become God ourselves with the capability of resting for eternity in eternal bliss.  You will notice the absence of heaven or hell.  I don't believe people are damned or saved, I'll speak about this in the next passage.

My Conundrum of Good and Evil/Pre-Destination Theory
In order for there to be a Jesus, there had to be a Judas.  There had to be a Pontius Pilate to wash his hands of blood.  In order for there to be good, there must be evil.  Who is to say that the evil man, isn't doing exactly as he was predestined to do?  He is allowing another to be good.  If the hypothetical God knows all, then he already knows if we will end up in Heaven or Hell.   What's the point of sitting in pews and attending sermons, if our whole life is already predetermined?

Honestly, I don't know but I do know one thing for sure.  Our energy will persist for eternity.  The essence of who we are will outlive the Earth, floating in the cosmos.  I want my energy to be good and pure.  I don't think that evil souls get much rest but who the fuck knows because evil needs to be present for there to be good.  Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.  I'm getting riled up just writing this because nobody knows and there's no way to verify.  

Anyways, thank you for reading and I appreciate the emails and messages I receive both here and on Reddit.

Your Body's 401k

  Your Body's 401k By Adam Mundorf People think you're crazy when you wake up and change your life. Your Body's 401k The obsession with money is misguided.  You don't need nearly as much as you think you do and if you have crazy aspirations for your money like mansions, Lamborghini and expensive tastes, your health will need to take a backseat in most cases.  Many readers of this blog know that I know a lot about the foundations of personal finance and investing.  What my many hours and possibly years of reading has led me to, is that health is wealth.  All that stressing, sitting and lack of true intrinsic fulfillment leads to a quite frankly, sad end of life.  People act like nursing homes, limping around, fat body and skinny arms is the only way to end up.  This couldn't be further from the truth.  I can run out of fingers and toes, thinking of examples of millionaires I personally know, who said they wished they took care of their health.  They have nice stuff b

What I Learned from 29 to 30

What I learned from 29 to 30 By Adam Mundorf What I Learned from 29 to 30 Hm, welp another year has passed and my life couldn't be better.  I am in good health, money in the bank and a roof over my head.  The above things are due to my decisions and actions.  Not once have I worried about an invading nation, a famine, a drought or where my next meal was coming from.  The above things have to do with luck.  The biggest lesson I learned was that our problems aren't really problems at all.  Growing up and living in America is living life on easy mode provided you don't self harm yourself through bad decisions.  We obviously don't all grow up with the same opportunities provided to us BUT if we take responsibility for our actions, realize we start where we are, we can become anything we want. Things aren't perfect but America is pretty darn close.  There is a reason why there are endless lines of people trying to get in but so few are trying to leave. To sum it up 29 to

Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? : The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car

  Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car By Adam Mundorf Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? This blog will be mostly my inner monologue with some questions along the way, just for a warning.  I'm putting my thoughts down and through that process to find some 'a-ha' moments.  It's self exploration. I get asked often about why I'm comfortable where I am in life because my chosen profession isn't what most people would want.  I'm not an exactly ambitious individual but am content with my own lot in life.  People respond typically with an almost pity and that perplexes me.  Maybe it's because I have such simple wants and desires.  I value the inexpensive/simple pleasures in life.  I value peace and quiet, a comfortable bed, cute animals and running water.  I for sure get if you burdened your life with obligations i.e, family, huge debts and/or some idealistic dream of being fabulously wealthy, you&
