Scattered thoughts somehow linked...really

Even religion teaches from the scripture that says when a person dies, their eyes will be open (scales will fall and what not) and they’ll see; they’ll awake to their identity and see their earth-sleep.
Will there really be judgment for their sleep? Are they not still his child? Is their spirit not still alive eternally? Is their identity not unmistakable with the absence of the “dead” flesh and soul? That such a brother or sister did not awaken to Truth during earth life is no cause for punishment or eternal damnation. In fact, such things do not exist apart from our own heads’ deception. This situation is only cause to know the One who wrapped our spirit in our unique soul. Only through such a relationship can we find the answer we’re all searching for-what is the purpose of our earth lives? Why, if the Spirit is born (with life and relationship with our Father-true identity) are we here encased in flesh, living out time?

Everything that is physical is temporal-that without a Spirit dies…the tree in front of my house doesn’t live forever even with proper sunlight, water, and nutrients. It wasn’t made to mature forever and it doesn’t have a capability to deceive itself into disease-it just wears out. When something stops growing it starts decaying (and often that decaying process is where the most wisdom abounds from experience, reflection, and maturity). As children of God, at some point our awakening will cease to be a fresh process and we will walk in full awareness of Truth. Our reality will not be dictated by the limitations of the physical body or the patterns our minds have learned.

The other day I wondered about existence in general; why was time created? Why must there be ANYTHING-no, not a vacuum- just NOTHING? But there is something and that is Life-even better, Love. So we progress from musing the existence of anything to realizing this fabulous entity called Love who gave rise to all we know now. He just is. “I am that I am.” So I accept that He is and I am His creation. That’s why it’s so sweet to have a relationship with Him, to live a purpose of knowing Him, journeying in and awakening to the life we have and building that foundation of Truth so our earth lives consciously become our Spirit lives.

This is how we can have joy in circumstances and stand above them on our foundation where we’re learning to create our realities…it’s interesting: we did not create our physical bodies or our spirits, but He crafted us. For us to sulk about never having a choice to live or have a Spirit/exist is pure ego and of our own deception! The clay doesn’t say to the artist, “mold me like this, or, no thanks I’d rather stay a lump…” As if!

That there is any alternative to living in Truth (choice) is our self-deception by the meanderings of creatively created creative minds, wills, and emotions and all the circumstances the initial deception (Eve?) built through the centuries: disease that corrodes the body, EVIL (which God doesn’t hate because A. God doesn’t hate and 2. it doesn’t exist), and right/wrong…it’s interesting that wrong was created by our Selves-that there need be any choice was of our own doing. Without our physical there is naught but Spirit/Life/Love, and thus, no need for differentiation (alternative action).

I almost said earlier that without our souls and physical bodies there’d be naught but Spirit…and this is true of the latter, but as I’m stirring this ‘round a bit, it occurs to me that if our souls are the wombs of the Spirit, they awakened/birthed the Spirit…now, knowing that we all have the same Christ living within us, how are we unique without our different souls? The beautiful actuality of unity in Christ is the same kingdom within our diverse personalities/souls. The soul is what makes one Spirit different from the next…perhaps the body dies, but the soul stays to make my Spirit “Chelsie the Christ” and my brother’s “Josh the Christ” and so on…eh??
