Hell

[kahljorn]

Hell as oblivion? That's interesting considering every eastern system is the opposite. The true heaven of buddhism, taoism and hinduism etc. is merging with oblivion or bliss, ultimate reality, chaos, the ocean before existence(greek mythology and many others), merging with infinity, merging with the cosmos, merging with God (the supreme or primordial in polytheistic systems) etc.
I think that kind of ties into what you were saying by a timeless reward. Also I feel it encompasses what God meant when he said, "I am that I am".

Do you estimate your memories and physical representation come with you? Anything you associate as your "Self"?
