What time is it?
That depends on where you are. If you are in London it's 5:36am, but if you're in Kansas it's11:37. That's because it took a minute to figure out the difference. But really, if you are in western Colorado and at the very end of the time zone, isn't it earlier than somebody over in Hays or even Denver, where the edge of the sun has already gone by at some point? I mean, if it's one hour from Mesquite, Nevada to somewhere out in the ocean off the coast of Cali, isn't it later in Mesquite than in Monterey, just because they are on different ends of the time zone? and the time zone covers an hour?
So what do you do with that extra time if you live on the far side? And who gets the nine-tenths of a cent that goes with a gallon of gas?
And if you die, do you have on a robe when you go over into the spirit world? Or the clothes you had on here? And if you were in a hospital when you died, do you stand over there, newly arrived in that sunny place, in a hospital gown, with the crack in the back? Or do you have on clothes typical of the kind of clothes you wore the most here? Or just the standard issue white robe?
And when you get there, do you even remember that you were doing something here, and left in the middle of it? Even if it was sleeping?
And is there some sort of jet-lag getting there? It would seem not, since it's not far, you just go from one plane into another, from gross existence into a superfine matter that is totally undetectable with all our gross-matter scientific stuff here? I mean, you don't really go anywhere, you just change matter. You leave behind the gross matter and your spirit, made of that stuff so fine it is undetectable, goes over there where it's on a par with all the rest of the matter over there, so what could not be discerned much less handled here is phenomenologically real over there. Like clothes and stuff.
Anyway, I guess I'll know soon enough.
