Episode 43 - The World After Death

Your consciousness is not a single entity; it is a system of three distinct hard drives. This episode of RESTART reveals this hidden architecture: the temporary Physical Hard Drive of your brain, which stores worldly knowledge and is erased at death; the ancient and locked Spiritual Hard Drive of your soul, which holds the memory of millions of years of existence; and the Universal Hard Drive of the Perfect Human, which contains all of reality. Using this framework, we explore Rumi's revolutionary idea that death is an illusion. You have already "died" from the inanimate to the animate, from creature to human. Your next "death" is not an end, but merely the next step in a continuous upward evolution.

With this new understanding of the spirit, we then turn to one of the most powerful critiques of religious ritual ever conceived: the parable of the "Haji Donkey." We explain that if your spirit is not engaged, your body going on a pilgrimage is as meaningless as a donkey carrying a passenger to Mecca—the donkey goes and comes back, but it never becomes a holy pilgrim. This episode distinguishes between the actions that write to your temporary physical hard drive and the contemplation that writes to your eternal spiritual hard drive. RESTART is here to teach you how to be the rider, not just the donkey on the path.
