All that data doesn't just disappear when our physical bodies shuffle off this mortal coil.

Digital afterlives are a natural consequence of the information age, a reality that barely anyone has prepared for - and that 'anyone' probably includes you.

È vero che la morte è diventata tabù, che la società moderna la nega e la nasconde più di quelle premoderne, condannando all'isolamento chi sta per lasciare questo mondo? Ed è forse per questo che i medici mentono al malato, e gli nascondono le cattive notizie sulla sua salute? È vero che la medicina moderna è rivolta solo al prolungamento della vita e all'ostinazione terapeutica, mentre trascura le esigenze e le sofferenze dei malati terminali?

In these extended talks, Ram Dass speaks at length about truth and divine love as direct experience rather than belief. He examines how the search for meaning often becomes entangled with ego, identity, and fear, and how those same obstacles can become the doorway to awakening when met with awareness.

صدر هذا الكتاب عام 1959، وفيه يتناول الدكتور مصطفى محمود قضية الموت ومفهومه الملغِز، انطلاقًا من الحياة وكيف تُشبِه عمليةَ شدٍّ وجذب بين الوجود والفناء، فالإنسان موجود على قيد الحياة، إلا أنه يموت كل لحظة عبر كُرَيَات الدم والخلايا التي تتجدد باستمرار. لذلك فالموت أشبه بالبُستاني الذي يقتلع النبات الذابل الفارغ من الحياة، حتى يُفسح المجال لرقيق البذور لكي تنمو وتكبر وتطرح الثمار. ويطرح الكتاب أسئلةً فلسفية حول كينونة الإنسان، وماهية الزمن، والحب، وغيرها من الأسئلة التي تتعلَّق بالوجود الإنساني.
