Ever sincerepparttar 126874 days of Plato, western religious opinion has always been that personal immortality pertains only torepparttar 126875 rational parts ofrepparttar 126876 soul. The biological and emotional parts should be allowed to let go withrepparttar 126877 body. The reason behind this move is not difficult to seek. For one thing, a personal soul without desires and emotions is more likely to be peaceful. For another, nothing but its more divine-like of aspects should be allowed to persist into eternity. Butrepparttar 126878 truth ofrepparttar 126879 matter is that inrepparttar 126880 more sophisticated of religious deliberations, personal immorality with memory has in fact never been thought of as a desirable commodity. Some, such asrepparttar 126881 more philosophical of Buddhist schools have always held a more radical point of view. It is that if eventual freedom from all sufferings is to be achieved, to let go ofrepparttar 126882 biological andrepparttar 126883 emotional is not sufficient. Memory andrepparttar 126884 identity of self that it entails should also be transcended. The reason is that for as long as memory and self-identity persist, personal ambition would continue to lurk. What that nurtures again would be psychological torment. Thus, if all suffering is really to be overcome, all personal interests and concerns (and thus memories) should also be put to rest. To be able to do that, according to Buddhist thought, is to enterrepparttar 126885 state of torment-less bliss called nirvana. This is a state of being free not only fromrepparttar 126886 burden old memory, but of any sense of self. It should thus be seen that contrary to popular understanding, nirvana is not a personal kind of place. What that implies is that those who enter would not know who they were. Such a state of being, if I may say so, is quite analogous torepparttar 126887 situation of Adam and Eve before they aterepparttar 126888 fruit ofrepparttar 126889 ‘tree of life’. Before they ate, according torepparttar 126890 story, they had no sense of themselves -- being unable to recognize even their own nakedness.

Of course, early Christianity also had much to say aboutrepparttar 126891 burden of our old and depraved selves. You see, one of its unique claims is thatrepparttar 126892 human race does not only inheritrepparttar 126893 genes of Adam and Eve, but also their original sin (what in fact wasrepparttar 126894 emergence of memory and self-identity, as I have just indicated). Thus, one of its key battle cries is aboutrepparttar 126895 renewal of incarnated souls (not unlikerepparttar 126896 Islamic concept of self-directed jihad). It is believed that this could be brought about by an act of faith as facilitated by Divine grace. Only in this way, or so it is said, couldrepparttar 126897 soul be redeemed or made ready forrepparttar 126898 kingdom of heaven.

The trouble with such a doctrine is that a couple of subsidiary wrinkles need also to be ironed out. One isrepparttar 126899 belief that departed and redeemed souls are not amnesiacs. They need to know who they were forrepparttar 126900 purpose of final reckoning. The other isrepparttar 126901 belief that straight entry for such personal souls into heaven would bring with them traces of human depravity unfit for what is also supposed to be a holy kingdom. It is thus a case of ‘either-or’ but not both. To tackle this problem, some of those who were supposedly inrepparttar 126902 know were smart enough to propagaterepparttar 126903 idea that disembodied souls would first be herded into a sort of quarantined center or transit hall; and that it is only afterrepparttar 126904 final judgment thatrepparttar 126905 ones that have really been redeemed would be admitted into heaven. This center or hall is known in Catholic circles as purgatory – a more sanitary sounding kind of place thanrepparttar 126906 classical underworld mentioned inrepparttar 126907 Apostle Peter’s account of where Jesus went before his resurrection.

However, it should be observed thatrepparttar 126908 introduction of purgatory buys only time but not solution. Atrepparttar 126909 end ofrepparttar 126910 day, redeemed souls with old memories and senses of self would still have to be kept in check. The rebellion of Satan or Lucifer in particular should be kept in view. In this connection, I should like to point out that despite other criticisms that one may level againstrepparttar 126911 Apostle Paul on other issues of doctrine, he was at least quite clear-headed (in my view) about this one. It was to his credit to have takenrepparttar 126912 Genesis pronouncement of ‘dust to dust’ more seriously than most, and thereby appear to have accepted what it entails. One must take seriously his contention that if there were not going to be any resurrection of bodies of an incorruptible kind, his Christian faith and commitment ‘would be in vain’. Why, may I ask, should he be so desperate for an incorruptible body when he already had a redeemed soul? Let me tell you what I think. He seemed to be saying that old memories and personal identities should be allowed to disintegrate withrepparttar 126913 body. Andrepparttar 126914 bodies of those who are redeemed would be resurrected new and incorruptible forrepparttar 126915 new heaven andrepparttar 126916 new earth. He also seemed to be saying that memory and self-identity are in fact onrepparttar 126917 side ofrepparttar 126918 body (a touch of what I have referred to as minimal dualism if I may add), and that what is new about these incorruptible bodies is that they are ready to begin afresh with new memories of perhaps a more desirable kind.
