The Unlikely Buddha

I'm not gone, I'm just not here,  I've found a new place to hold dear,  A different world, a different time,  A new life in a different rhyme. I've left the pain and the sorrow,  The sickness and the growing old,  I've found a place where there is no fear,  A place where I can always hear Your voices calling out to me,  Your love and your warmth and your light,  I'll always be here with you,  In spirit and in heart and in might. So don't cry for me, my loved ones,  I'm not gone,  I'm just not here,  I'll see you again, someday, somehow,  In this world or in another. Unlikely Buddha ©2023

But I want to offer you some words of hope and comfort, based on the teachings of Buddhism and quantum physics. In Buddhism, death is seen as a natural part of the cycle of life. When we die, our physical body ceases to exist, but our consciousness continues on. It may go to a different realm, or it may simply merge back into the universal consciousness.

When we die, our consciousness may simply move to another universe, where we continue to live our lives. I know that these ideas may seem strange or even comforting, but I believe that they offer hope for those who have lost loved ones. Death is not the end, but a new beginning. Our loved ones may...

The WGA has been vocal in its opposition to the use of AI in scriptwriting, arguing that it would lead to job losses and a decline in the quality of writing. The WGA's concerns are not unfounded. AI scriptwriting tools are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and it is not inconceivable that they could one day be used to generate scripts that are indistinguishable from those written by humans. This would pose a serious threat to the livelihood of screenwriters, who would be forced to compete with machines for jobs. However, the use of AI in scriptwriting could also have some potential benefits. For example, AI tools could be used to help writers generate ideas, outlines, and dialogue. They could also be used to analyze scripts and identify areas that need improvement. In this way, AI could actually help to improve the quality of writing. Ultimately, the question of wheth...
