[all religions] : How does this story make you feel?

I stumbled upon this and i can’t believe I haven’t read it earlier. It is so insightful, it really got my mind into thinking.

btw I am catholic, I thought it was a nice story

Very interesting story.

I love creative interpretations of after life. Most stories about the after life are very stereotypical and boring visions of heaven / hell / other. If a story is going to have a fantasy world where everyone goes after they die, it should be an interesting place and insightful about life.

I also like the unique combination of different religious beliefs. Every religion contains some truths (none of supernatural is true, of course), and it’s worth learning about them all and developing an inclusive spirituality.

This story draws from the Buddhist idea that every person is really part of the one entity, and that the things that make us think we are separate are really mental constructions and illusions people accumulate through material existence. While this is a tough idea to really grasp, it is incredibly liberating, and one of my favorite ontological ideas.
