After talking a lot with Lilo, I’m writing her testimony.
This article isn’t finished. It promises to be long.
So, in a first time, I’m summarizing Lilo thinkings.
Lilo awareness about death
When Lilo was young, but not very young (maybe between 7 and 10 years old), she wasn’t aware about her mortality. It wasn’t obvious to her. Apparently it’s the case for most young humans of her age.
Someone had to tell her about it.
Learn about death and her own mortality created in Lilo a massive discomfort.
It maked her felt very guilty. Because, deep inside herself, she felt sad about the death idea of others, but the idea of her own death was affected her a lot more.
She got a sooo deep selfish feeling than she had to keep it secret.
Lilo started to worry about death at any time. But, because of her secret, she couldn’t dare to ask any questions.
The truth is : Lilo tried to deny about her mortality during most of her lifetime.
So ! Today, to talk with a snail like me who doesn’t understand the word « selfish » help her a lot.
To publicly talk about death today is a way from acceptance for Lilo.
To her that’s means something important : to really feel alive.
The influence of our death vision on our life present moment
I think, our « life and death » vision have a huge influence on our present moment.
We live life a complete other way according to how we imagine death.
It’s directly affect our life meaning.
- When Lilo learn about death as «nothingness », her life purpose was to have a maximum of good time and to enjoy.
- But if Lilo project death as « infinity with infinite possibilities », her life meaning changes strait away. Her life travel become : to learn and to take care a maximum.
That’s quite a big deal in a whole lifetime.
In the first death version there is nothing to guide life other than : senses pleasures, consumption…
Why take time to learn, if at the end it will all be all lost and wasted ?
In the second death version the meaning get lot more essential. It requires : improvement, knowledge, love…
But of course ! You will say… Nobody knows which version it could be.
Why Lilo hopes about the happiest version of death ?
Many people prefer to project « nothingness », because it’s the saddest version.
This choice is often made to don’t be desappointed at the end.
But, Lilo has some good reasons to hope about the happiest version.
First, that make her life happy at any present moments, instead of worry.
To her, choose which version to believe means as well to choose which « life travel » she will have.
And she wishes to pick the essential one for sure.
The second reason is a rational thinking :
- Lilo thinks than if there is really nothing at the end, we will not to be here to know about it. So, we will not to be able to be desappointed.
- But, if there is something, have believed in nothingness our whole lifetime means not to be prepared. And here, it’s a real problem because we are gonna be here and we will have to live it.
Lilo personal beliefs :
In the next part, I’m gonna talk to you about Lilo personal point of view.
Lilo talked to me about what she imagine before and after our physical lifetime on earth.
It’s important to me to share a human thought, because it’s common to snails to exchange and to discuss about what it could be. But it’s not much common to humans. (Death topic seem to be a very big taboo for a lot of them)
I think, it could feel good at humans to have this possibilty to imagine and to exchange as well.
Lilo insisted than I repeat to you this important thing :
She is not expecting you to agree with her.
She want you to have your own point of view.
And, if you will agree with her, she hopes than it’s only because you feel it inside you too.
Because, you got your own experience and because it makes you feel it.
Lilo believes in self-fulfilling of our projections
Lilo believes a lot on self-fulfilling of our projections, because she can observe this mechanism every days, even alive.
By example :
If you think than you will have a terrible day. You are straight away looking on things which are not as you want. You are probably going out with a sad face. It’s less lucky than anyone will smile at you. And you are effectively gonna passe a terrible day.
If you think you will have a great day. Don’t you think, you will create more probability than it will happen that way ?
So, just in case… Lilo prefer to project an amazing « after death » !
She believes than after death it will probably be what we are projecting.
So, she thinks it’s really important to believe in a beautiful vision of it.
Some people believe in heaven and hell. Depending if you are a good person or not.
There is something in that way too in Lilo idea of self-fulfilling projections.
A positive person will have super sweet projections, which are gonna happen and make her heaven. A negtive person imagines a nightmare and that will be her hell.
Lilo feel to learn it every day in life.
We don’t need to die to feel on hell when we are negative. Isn’t it ?
It’s just slower and more palpable in physical life.
The important thing to understand here, is what means to be a good person.
To snails a good person is a positive one.
To snails no duty is as important as to be happy.
So, to synthesize, Lilo believes than what we are projecting will happen.
It could be a nightmare, a heaven, nothingness…
She believes quite strongly than to project nothingness leads us on it.
And maybe even faster than we are thinking.
How Lilo observes the self-fulfilling projections ?
I told you than Lilo strongly believe in the self-fulfilling projections because she can observe it, even being alive.
An obvious example to her will be the next one :
When we observe how many we are on the planet to believe in nothingness right now, we can see how much it’s effectively happening yet. Just observing life and diversity disappearing on earth.
Lilo think, what we are projecting about after life affect a lot our today behavior.
Will we do differently with our planet if we were projecting to still be aware about it after our physical life on it ? Probably ! Don’t you think ?
If we compare the planet story to our own life : will we act differently with ourself if we project to have a future ?
The learning process require to feel after death to care about life right now
Lilo thinks the reason why we are not really able to care and why we are not really able to realize the disaster we are making on our planet, it simply because of the learning process in the nothingness version.
As already explain in this next page : « About love, truth, and freedom »…
To really learn we need two things : to feel and to understand. Both are important.
If we don’t feel things, it’s never truly touched us because even if we understand, that doesn’t feel like truth for us.
If we believe in nothingness, that also means : we will never feel by ourself what planet we leave to next generations. So, we cannot really learn and properly realize about it.
Human will find that « selfish », but in « nothingness version » we know than it’s not our story.
The snails way to choose what to believe in
Snails only believe in things when everything is perfectly aligned without any incoherences or contradictions. Not even one.
And, they observe the nature of their body sensations and feeling as confirmation.
So to Snails, as for Lilo it’s very difficult to imagine to not have any consciousness after death, because that make impossible to properly care about life right now.
That means we have to learn how to care, without feel it.
So, or it’s a mistake to believe than we have to feel to be able to learn.
Or, « nothingness » after death is a mistake.
But, we are already seeing in life than we need to feel to learn.
And, if we will feel after death, we have a personal interest to care and a collective interest as well.
Snails see life as a group game with a collective issue.
So, it looks like a lot of things get magically aligned if there is something after death :
– Happiness right now
– More essential sens in life
– The fact than it feels good in our stomach to care
– The fact than to care do have a sens in this version
– The snail understanding about selfishness as the most altruistic attitude
– The learnings process which requie to understand and to feel
– And again… causes/consequences successions
– What about this famous physical basics ? « Nothing is created, nothing is lost. Everything is transformed »
Lilo and snails strongly believe in the causes/consequences successions
Where will be the consequences in nothingness ?
In nothingness, you can be a great or a terrible person, anyway at the end it happens the same.
Nothing !
Where are the causes in nothingness ? Where are you from ?
We can explain where your body is from.
But, what about your consciousness ? This thing inside you that knows than you are not a robot.
This thing that knows than you are here and alive.
Do you think your consciousness come from no causes ?
The question about « universe beginning » always will bring a same next question « and what made it ?/what is the cause ? ».
What made the big bang ? If we find IT. What made IT ? And so on…
That’s an endless way of thinking.
If the causes don’t have a beginning, how the effect could have one ?
The only solution to this impasses is not to keep looking for « what’s before », but to imagine a universe without a beginning : with no birth and no death.
Where nothing is created, nothing is lost. Everything is transformed.
The next question to ask will be : «what does time mean ? »
Sooo, this quite long Lilo testimony is still a summary.
You will get all of it the soonest.

Coming soon :
Why humans and snails cannot conceive what does time mean ?
What is the ego usefulness ?
Why we dream ?
