1010.0. "Future Self Project" by NEXUS::MORGAN (All Hail Informatia!) Thu Mar 23 1989 14:37

                           THE FUTURE SELF PROJECT
         
         Please leave a message after the tone....
         
         Beeeeeeepppppp.
         
         Ok what message would you leave for yourself should you be
     reborn, say, in the 23rd century?
         
         Would you leave a funny message or something serious, passing
     wit and wisdom to your future self?

         I'd say something about not taking yourself very seriously and
     that god didn't really exist but I'd let you make that decision
     yourself assisted, hopefully, by advanced 23rd century information.
                  
         So what would you say to yourself?? B^)

    	    "Jeez, haven't they improved answering machines at all in
    	the last 300 years?  Hey, pal, this is you calling up from a
    	previous life.  I know, sounds kinda hard to accept, but..."
    
    	   ~beeeeep~
    
    	   ~beeeeeeeeep~
    
    	    "Jeez, they really HAVEN'T improved these things, have they?
    	Listen, I don't have much time, but there's something you need
    	to know.  I've buried a five pound bar of gold underneath..."

    	I'd say to be aware and question whatever reasons anyone gives
    for doing something.

1010.5Ask questionsWILLEE::HAMMONDMon Mar 27 1989 13:114
    I'd say to trust yourself, "believe none of what you hear and half
    of what you see". Question authority and people's motives.

1010.6Or I could just leave a completely meaningless message...HPSTEK::BESTUnseen...and yet...ignored.Mon Mar 27 1989 15:3814
    
    I'd say:
    
    "Hi.  It's you.  I just wanted to let you know that you existed
     in my form 300 years ago, so reincarnation is possible.  But,
     I can't give you any advice because your situation could be
     completely different than mine was, and I haven't learned any
     absolute truths, just truths that work for certain fleeting
     situations.  That statement being, perhaps, the one truth that
     I can offer.  Of course, you may find differently..."

1010.8The last laughUSAT05::KASPERIn the eye of a storm hope is bornSun Apr 02 1989 20:447
Hello, this is the person you were 300 years ago.  Remember me, I'm the
one who got you all that bad karma you are having to work out now.  I'm
sorry, the devil made me do it...  Hope you have better luck with all
this cosmic, karmic, spiritual growth stuff...  Oh yeah, this was a
collect call; the reason for my call?  I hope you have a good sense of humor.

1010.9Whadya mean Walt?AYOV18::BCOOKZaman, makan, ikhwanMon Apr 03 1989 10:4342
"Hi,
    
"What do you mean, you don't remember me? Doing that sort of thing's all
 the rage at the moment!

"Oh, I see. You could remember me if you wanted to but you get a kind of 
 upset with me. I guess I don't really blame you, I never got to see the
 results of my finals.

"You did? 

"No thanks. I'm enjoying myself too much.

"Why did I call? Oh yes, just wanted to say hi. Since Relativity Theory
 is ancient history to you, you'll be well aware that teachings are time,
 place and people dependant, so only absolute truths wil be of any use to 
 you; and God knows (I hope!) I've few enough of those to hand around. Just
 try to remember how lucky you are...

"Yeah, lucky. We had it tough back in the 20th C. No logging in to your 
 Expert Guru for us. You had to go out and find one, flesh and blood. And if
 that wasn't enough, then came the tricky bit. Deciding whether you've got 
 a real one or not. First thing they tell you is that you haven't got the
 necessary powers to decide! Of course, study with him for 50 years and you 
 will have... 

"No, I guess the following's the best I can offer:

	Have fun
	Very few things (if any) are bad, but your relationship to them can 
		very easily be.
 	Don't agree that 1 + 1 = 2 until you've discovered binary arithmetic
	The intellect has it's own domain
	Everyone and Everything can teach you something if you but eyes to
		see, that doesn't mean that some people and some things aren't
		worth special attention...
	The only things that are static in this world have Zero Energy
	Insignificance is also significant
	Have fun

"I'll be (seeing) you
