Speculation

     People who have had near-death experiences often report being told, "Go towards the light."

     Okay; this somehow makes intuitive sense to most of us.

     But what if it's a bug-zapper?  There you are, gone from the physical world, and whatever's left is drawn like a moth to the light and -- ZAP! You're no longer a problem for the Universe.

     H. P. Lovecraft and those late-night TV commercials make a weird mix.

  1. Regarding your after-life speculation, I figure the Eastern mystics will be shocked when they get reincarnated as a slime mold on a planet orbiting Antares rather than back on Earth.
