The Mysterious Case of Mr. W and His Whereabouts

 

He was a big man and he had a personality to match. He has a very large family and they are good people. His life seems to have come to an abrupt end after 83 years of presence. Of course, my question is still this: Where is he now?

If reality is truly virtual, then Mr. W himself should easily be able to answer this question and I should easily be able to record his answer here. But when I ask, either Mr. W, or The Akashic Librarian, only silence returns. If consciousness is a physical property, then Mr. W's huge personality is presently in a state of decay.

I am no scientist by definition, but I do think it is necessary to measure results before publishing theories. In theory, it would seem Mr. W could not possibly have disappeared and returned to whatever he was before his birth. However, when we measure Mr. W, from the place where we live and where he once lived, we see a fading avatar and no measurement proves that Mr. W continues in any way. Logically, he is no more. Logically, he occupied only one window of time, which lasted 83 human-years and he has now expired in every way.  

That would be the best, scientific answer.

But in my personal view, there is one element left to consider; and when considered, it comes as close to proof as the science has. That element is Love.

Way back when scientists were first theorizing about quantum physics, the trouble with entanglement emerged. This idea was impossible to overlook and it was impossible to have the other theories without it. Einstein famously called it “Spooky”.

I see no reason to attempt to explain quantum entanglement. While it may not be clearly understood by laypeople, We have mostly, collectively, come to accept the idea. Scientist are almost universally in agreement in this area of study. As a layperson, I rely on scientists to test these theories and report on them. I’m satisfied that this spooky, quantum entanglement is a very sound science indeed.

My theory regarding the whereabouts of Mr. W does not have the support of scientific research, but I am a witness to the entanglement present between the unseen Mr. W and his visible Loved ones.

I have not been able to work out a theory which might show how there could possibly be so significant a degree of the most significant Life Force, still entangling a living human with one which no longer exists.

Science probably won’t touch this in my lifetime, but when you lose a loved one, you do not experience the diminishing of The Love you once shared with that other person. The longer you think about this, and even press the issue, the more you will come to think of Love as the spookiest of all actions at the greatest of all distances.

It is a simple question, but grief alone does not answer it. “How could you Love what does not exist?”

Do we love our departed loved ones based on our memories alone?

What are memories? Is memory a psychological process for storing information?

Let’s assume it is. What then, does a grieving, loved one Love?

If memory is information, and if death deletes the original phenomenal source-object which caused the information to begin with, and we find that we Love someone beyond their death, then we have to simultaneously affirm that it is possible for us to Love information.

It is possible that we sometimes have an advantage when we allow ourselves to feel for answers rather than rather than relying only on testable data.

In the mysterious case of  Mr. W and his whereabouts, the data tells us that he is now only information, and his loved ones now find themselves loving that information. But in our hearts, where it seems we have such experiences, we know that our Love for the departed is an unbreakable link to the departed; it is not information that we love.

There is but One Song, and it is our Universe. When a melody has been played, it is forever a part of the entire piece. If it were just sound, it could be silenced. If it were just memories, it could be forgotten. If it were words, they could be erased. Try not to Love someone you Love. Of course this is impossible. The dimensions of Love are not measurable within a period of time or in a space.

Your Love for another is not tethered to your heart on one end and to information on the other. It is a link between two hearts, and exists as that link beyond the lifespan of information. It is not only possible to Love the departed, it is possible to experience that Love as it continues to grow.

You won’t be able to define Love or put it into words, but you are aware of it. Love, therefore, is not an object, subject to decay. The deepest mystery regarding The Entanglement of Love is not that it remains when a loved one dies; the deepest of all mysteries is that Love remains when you both die.

Awareness of  Love requires transcendence of thought. We don’t think we love our loved ones. We are aware of our Love and it does not require any information to exist; knowing this is awareness. What remains of Love beyond death is all that we can presently be aware of and yet still not know or understand.

God bless the family of Mr. W. You will see him again some day.
