For total secularists:
ReplyDeleteScience will soon discover the reality of coherent, highly developed Intelligent, personality driven, energy life forms. These forms developed and grew through a relationship with a physical body. At birth, the spirit takes form in a physical body. At that point it grows and develops through experiences garnered in life. When the physical body dies, at whatever age, the spirit continues living as the unique personality it is, having developed in a physical existence.
As that ‘spirit’ consists of energy and as science discovers more and more sensitive tools to measure energy, at some point the existence of such life forms will be confirmed. Even now some cameras are able to record ‘shadows’ of such forms and sensitive sound equipment detect what could be communication.
Whether you believe there is or is not a God or is or is not a 'heaven' or 'hell', creatures as have been described as gods in such writings as the Egyptian ‘Book of the Dead’ or reputed to have been experienced in visions, could very well exist as natural life forms.
i greatly admire this!
