If we exist on a holodeck David, then there is also a backup copy 
in the computer that projects reality, and that copy continues to 
exist after death.  After death, awareness remains with that copy 
in cyberspace, which unlike the mind, has a perfect memory. 
 
Given that no*body* will have a body after death, what will souls 
use to *identify* one another?  How do you tell which soul is ill 
enough to need 'curing'?  Wouldn't that decision arise out of the 
VCR tapes of the lives lived?  What is it that could be done that 
would constitute a cure? 
 
Well, for one, everyone would know that there could be no secrets 
among them, that no noble, nor despicable act could remain hidden 
from them.  Wouldn't the balance between noblity and depravity be 
used for the diagnosis?  And where the balance is lacking, what's 
to be done?  Erasure? Another option would be another form for an 
ill soul to take... re-incarnation? or, perhaps more accurrately, 
a re*form*ation, not limited to forms in this reality system.
