There is none

There is no "ultimate" destiny, because as you well know, all time is now.
Eternity is the eternal now so how can there be anything ultimate or final?
I think this is extremely difficult for people to grasp. We create all times and all events from this eternal now. It is so wondrously simple.

Comments on this post
31pumpkin disagrees: we do not create all times and events. What happens when a bridge collapses on someone....did they create that?
magprob agrees: No, they just chose to be standing under it when it fell so I guess the answer is yes.
valinors_sorrow agrees: nods nods nods and smiles at the recognition of another one who knows the power of now!
Marily disagrees: This life is not eternal, only heaven is.

soul

Of course the discussion of what will happen to the human soul is a religous matter, so you would have to look into the various religions to see what answers they come up with. Of course some people don't believe in the concept of a "soul."

Statements like, "There is no "ultimate" destiny, because as you well know, all time is now. Eternity is the eternal now so how can there be anything ultimate or final?" make me wonder what line of reasoning or objective proof they are basing this on.

If you have some understaning of the nature of the atom you might be aware of the fact that electrons, which orbit the nucleus of atoms, will eventually run out of energy and stop, causing matter to decay into inert, cold particles. In other words, the universe itself will end if something like the big bang doesn't re-occur sometime in the distant future to recharge the atoms in the universe. In other words, there might be an "ultimate or final" end to the universe.

I also find the notion that "We create all times and all events" to be a shocking statement, espically when you consider the massive bodies we have learned about in the universe and the overwhelming forces that exist which could dash this planet to pieces in an instant. To think that we have created such things is beyond rationality.

assume a humble identity

[]the soul will become a part of another place and time, its own energy frequency has attracted all its molecular traits into one infinity beyond the reach of the corrupted structures,and at that place we shall all have great powers far beyond the capabilities of ordinary man able to understand the mechanics of the universe ,and also able to be in all places at one time and yet to assume a humble identity.so as to glorify the truth and justice in our lord

From a biblical standpoint that depends on the choices a person makes, or more specifically, a person's behavior.


Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. KJV

Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

BTW
The nature of the human soul is a separate issue from its destiny.
The nature of the soul involves what the soul is.
Its destiny involves its future.

Comments on this post
31pumpkin agrees: "the nature of the human soul is a separate issue from its destiny" I second that reasoning.

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion! Beyond rationality seems a little harsh...but that's ok. I take no offense. If you study quantum mechanics it will surely help you understand how reality works and you will see that my ideas may be a little shocking but also valid and perhaps correct.

You seem to be speaking of a subjective reality? The subjective reality which Humes considered the result of sense impressions. Right?

Your soul lives within in you in another plane of existance acting as the intermediary between your human mind and the higher self.
