You ~ Now and Forever

In the mid-1600s, French philosopher René Descartes said the fact that he thought was proof that he existed. Cogito ergo sum. (FWIW and BTW, one of my favorite T-shirts reads Cogito Ergo Recyclo). In the early 1700s, Irish philosopher George Berkeley asked whether a tree falling with no one around to hear it would make a sound and answered by saying, "The objects of sense exist only when they are perceived." In the early 2000s, a group of biocentrists believes that the universe exists only in our consciousness, as do the concepts of space, time, and therefore, death. The fact that you and I exist, they say, is proof that we will continue to do so forever: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/is-there-an-afterlife-the-science-of-biocentrism-can-prove-there-is-claims-professor-robert-lanza-8942558.html
