Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film. An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception.

no no- i went hte other way- I was i nhell- it wasn’t simpel darkenss- it was hell- overpowering, suffocating, unbearably hot- screams of souls i couldn’t see- creatures/insects crawling all over me but i couldn’t move to escape them- and I was ‘given a test’ by God- I had to count sounds- and at first I was able to keep up- but the sounds got faster and faster, and I couldn’t anymore, and I wept- then the voice said “Don’t’ worry, you don’t exist”- and then the real hell began- complete nothingness- it was absolutely frightening- being aware of nothingness somehow- an eternity of this strange mix of awareness and ‘not existing’

Like I said- it was a very powerful experience- whatever it was- I personally believe it was misfiring synapses as i was slipping away- I had a fever of 106 and went into convulsions, and i believe the synapses were misfiring and brought on this ‘vivid dreaming’ state- but again- wow- it was as if it actually happened it seemed so real

That’s what I was thinking — the soul.

lemme just try to expand on that ‘nothingness’ fear

I was conscious of being in a vast empty pitch black ‘space’ just floating around, alone- no God, No Devil, no nothing- and the sense of helplessness that came over me about never being able to escape this state of ‘nothingness’ (technically it wasn’t nothingness- but it was a close as you can get ot nothingness while still being conscious of ‘not existing’ it’s hard to describe)

This is one of the most beautiful and poetic scientific discoveries we’ve ever witnessed.

It’s quite profound, on a spiritual level.

“A new soul is created at the moment of conception.”

Or, an old soul has assumed a new residence.

It would be more helpful if it were a little bell tone. No more pregnancy tests. No more lying to partners. Just a loud “ping” when sperm meets egg, two if there are twins.

Maybe as they continue to modify DNA, they will invent this.

I wonder if...physiologically speaking...this has anything to do with the fact that at that very moment, no other sperm can breach the wall of the egg and complete its mission. Only one sperm can fertilize an egg.

Many women say they know the exact moment of conception because they felt it. This small release of energy could corroborate that.

I have heard that description before from others who have had NDEs. The overwhelming feeling they described as 'despair'.

I can’t even begin to describe how gut wrenchingly hopeless I felt- it was overpowering- It was torture- It was pure fright- We’re a people geared for companionship- (most people anyways)- and when the realization sunk in that I was completely abandoned- alone, floating in a vast sea of nothingness- forever- no escape- Wow! If that is what hell is going to be like- My goodness- it behooves everyone who is unsaved to seriously evaluate where they really wish to spend eternity- I had the sense in that state of mind that I was never going to be able to ‘just get used to it’ too- There was a sudden realization that this frightening experience was going to be everlasting-

Despair, dread, fear- all wrapped up in one- it was too much to bear-

So you’re thinking the inference that this happens during conception is invalid?

“the soul has no mass”

The soul has mass, especially if it is a fearful, angry one.

According to Scientology dogma, the soul itself has no mass, but you are correct in that a soul carrying the burdens of fear and anger does have mass. I don't know how we'd tease out the difference, and your interpretation seems equally valid to me.

The purpose of religion is to help people decrease the mass and/or purify the soul.

Supposed to be anyway. Too often it's control...

Consciousness has mass. I feel people’s thoughts as physical tangible objects. It’s easy to prove as I can stand several feet from a person and knock them over merely by touching the traumatic memories stored in their soul.

An ability best used judiciously.

The body exists in the soul, not the other way around.

Yup. Hubbard described the relationship as the relative sizes of a (spiritual) thumb with the physical body as a splinter in that thumb.

Could work as “Children Of Men 2: Cryovault”...

Not exactly how I envisioned it, but that would work very well! Maybe better than what I had in mind.

Yes. Weighing the heaviness of one's heart against the feather of truth.
