This is all an elaborate hoax....

So I was looking up some information about reincarnation and came across this on Esquire magazine of all places. It is a snippet of Roger Ebert's wife as she was with him near his time of death. Just wondered what you guys make of it.

The one thing people might be surprised about—Roger said that he didn't know if he could believe in God. He had his doubts. But toward the end, something really interesting happened. That week before Roger passed away, I would see him and he would talk about having visited this other place. I thought he was hallucinating. I thought they were giving him too much medication. But the day before he passed away, he wrote me a note: "This is all an elaborate hoax." I asked him, "What's a hoax?" And he was talking about this world, this place. He said it was all an illusion. I thought he was just confused. But he was not confused. He wasn't visiting heaven, not the way we think of heaven. He described it as a vastness that you can't even imagine. It was a place where the past, present, and future were happening all at once.

Here's a link to the full article if anyone is interested.

That was a nice article, the last paragraph was particularly beautiful, almost poetry.

I'm not religious, but I do like the sayings gathered together in the GoT...
