SS,
I understand the point you are trying to make.
You have alluded though to the main thing we have to understand about life.
Albert Einsteins theory of relativity said it all. It pointed to the fact Einstein had to be conscious of and a believer in life after death to have formulated what he did. I was very proud after becoming a believer in our spirit nature to fully grasp the awesome significance of the theory of relativity.
What mind boggling conclusions can be drawn if we accept on faith Einsteins formulation. E = MC2. Mass is really energy in another form. Energy is spirit. Spirit is infinite and everlasting. Immortal if you will. Nothing in the universe ever really dies but in a physical sense which I no you are trying to emphasize.
All that is the essense of and that animates life (thoughts, feelings, memories, etc.) live on. That is why spiritual death can only mean living in communion with God or seperated from him which is hell. No energy ever leaves the universe. Faith is a necessary requirement to fully comprehend the nature of our earthly existence. This life is not all there is. We do not live this life alone. Our passed loved ones are still interested in our lives and wish to assist us in ways that are possible for them.
I am pleased to understand from psychics like Sylvia Brown and John Edwards that life on the other side is not devoid of our earthly loves and passions. Our unattachment to the flesh at that time makes it possible for us to overcome all the trials of the earthly experience plus have the prospect to act as spiritual guides and mentors for those who will in the future pass through the earthly experience.
Thanks for providing me the opportunity to outline my newfound beliefs and understandings. I am sure when I die I will enjoy doing the things I did while on earth in a manner it was never possible for me with earthly limitations.
I will play pro quality basketball with amazing physical attributes against my passed loved ones also similarly equipped.
I am sure that though there will be no physical requirement to eat I will do so for pleasure with there being unlimited abundance and no calories. I will be able to manifest myself to my loved ones on earth in dreams in any way I wish them to remember me.
I am not sure about the masturbation thing but you can bet I will have the greatest orgasms. I will sing with the expertise and voice of Luther Van Dross or Nat King Cole.
I have no fear or apprehensions about dying. I am looking forward to it with excitement when the time comes. I have been inspired with the understanding that my unique mission in life has yet to be fulfilled and believe I will be kept physically alive long enough to fulfill it. From your responses I don't feel my ramblings would disinterest you. I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on this subject.
