(“What did you think of my speculations about life and age, births and probabilities?”)

They were quite excellent. (Pause.) You are alive whether or not (with half a laugh) you are dead. I have said that before. Death and life are indeed one and the same. Only your focus of attention differs.

(My questions to Seth about life and death sprang out of my hassles this morning about insurance, oddly enough. I’d been concerned about my stewing over insurance, for I didn’t want to draw negative probabilities to us. This in turn led me to speculate about probable realities in general as I drove to the hospital this afternoon.

(I told Jane that I came up with the idea—hardly original thinking, I said—that we never die even as physical creatures, until we reach a ripe old age in some probable reality. That even though we may die in childhood, and at successive later ages, each of us lives to old age somewhere. We shut out the early deaths from our conscious awareness as we move through probabilities. Of course, there has to be a physical cutting-off point somewhere along the line— but even then, I said, we may move into another life and begin all over in those terms.
