[@jakybakey8473]

He's not resting (only in our minds; a euphemism); he has started the life cycle again, from the time of his death (approx.)... The "spirit" or controlling centers of the brain have never been identified, nor will they be. You are a biological organism combined with an indistructable system or element that departs the organism that is your body at death. The current analogy is described as a television set; what you see on a TV is not actually taking place inside your TV, it is being beamed in from a broadcast station... Realize(!!): we have only had technology for about two hundred years, other regions of the universe have had advanced tech for millions of years and longer--our creator...

He hung himself in a closet in a hotel next to honolulu airport....never even made it to the beach.....i stayed at that hotel....very sad...i am thinking he went out there to get better or see the beach etc.... before he killed himself....but killed himself in a crappy hotel
