LIFE AFTER DEATH

LIFE AFTER DEATH“If you attended your own funeral you are probably suffering from the loss of having a body. More important, you may be thinking that you don’t really have any identity or personality without having a body. How will anyone recognize you without your body? Fortunately, bodies are a nickel a million. Five babies are born every second.  So, should you succumb to the ungodly urge to get a new baby body in order to feel a sense of personal identity, you will need to practice being cute.  The only reason people have babies – and keep them – is because they think babies are cute. The same principle applies to all living creatures. So, brush up on looking cute, making cute sounds, doing cute mannerisms, cute smiles, cute laughs, etc..  You’ll need to have your cute skills in top form when and if you get a new body.”

LAND OF THE DEAD

Land of The DeadIn the fanciful world of the Pirates of The Caribbean films, the living and the dead sail the same seas together — one above, one below.  The dead share the same thirst, hunger and lust as the living, but cannot slake them unless they inhabit a body.  Yet, how much different are the adventures of the living and dead?  Those beings with bodies are called the “living”.  Yet, are not those without bodies also alive in eternity as spiritual beings?  Physical sensation is pale, fragile and temporary and nearly always far less satisfying than imagined in the mind! Inevitably every “living” person will sail The Sea of Life to the same destination: The Land of The Dead.  Who accept the “living” claim that “gettin’ back” is the problem?

It’s easy to die.  Everyone does it inevitably.  But, how easy is it to “live” in a body?  The real problem for a spiritual being is Living in The Land of The Dead eternally.  And, perhaps, it may be wise to avoid “gettin’ back” all together to save repeating the same folly that caused the pain, sorry and disappointments we suffered because we were encumbered by a body!
