Renewing Your Mind · Life After Death? · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

There seems to be an accentuation of fear.

Not so much for those who are prepared to die themselves, but for those who journey with them.

To the side of the gray.

If you've ever read uh the dialogues of Plato.

And you read the dialogue that includes the death scene of Socrates.

All of Socrates' students and friends are gathered around the prison as he has been sentenced to death and he on this day has been appointed to drink the fatal hemlock.

As his manner of execution and his friends were allowed to visit him one last time.

And they come in and they have this pall of gloom over their heads.

And as they come to the cell of Socrates, they find him calm.

They find him relaxed.

They find him even in a state of eager anticipation.

And they can't figure it out.

They say to their teacher, How is it possible that you can be in this state of joyous anticipation when you know this is your last day of life?

And then Socrates begins to teach them.

Philosophically, of his speculation, of all that he has learned from the study of nature, from the study of science, that has convinced him that this is not the last day of his life, that it is the beginning of an eternal existence that is far better than what he experiences here.

Now I find comfort in reading the speculation of Plato.

I find comfort in reading the philosophical musing of Immanuel Kant when he says for all practical purposes we've got to believe in life after death, because if there is no life after death

Then this light is meaningless.

Somebody asked me a question last night about the Holocaust, one of the darkest moments, if not the darkest blots in the whole history of the human race, the systematic extinction of six million people.

Genosa.
