Life After Death

Life after death of the body. Now that I have experienced the death of someone close, more close that I realized possible, something amazes me in wonder about the experience. What is it that makes me believe our spirit lives on, born again out of the changing steadily aging bodies where we began? 

Is our spirit racing on a mobius strip?

I can see so clearly. What did St. Paul speculate on this? We see things thru a glass, now dimly, but soon we will see things as they are, face to face? Something along that line. I see myself more clearly, as well as the one who, I sense, also sees me as well as themselves. I believe we both can see the mistakes we made. Forgiveness stands before me, even both of us, clearly stretching out itself as if there was no time. Strange without time. How we got used to the changes, so imperceptible, yet so dramatic when confronted frozen from the past.

It seems natural now even as it was sudden. The experience convinces me my spirit lives on after my changing body gives me a new appearance. Will I look the same in eternity where time is, perhaps, finally seen transformed into an illusion?  Or will appearances be linked to the seen as each relationship existed before the unseen? 

Not only time, but size poses a problem. Where did we this particular view of size? Conceive of a dust mite, so small it cannot be seen. So ugly, so scary, like a lone dragon fresh out of our memories of childhood dwarfing us. How small do things get? Do they ever stop getting smaller? What is the purpose of size? How large is the universe right now... compared to what? 

Do Galaxies Get Out of Control?

Each answered question reveals more questions than we knew of before? Why is that, because there are no limits? It seems to me at this moment  to be a natural  phenomenon like our former view of time immovably yawning out before and behind us.... forever. Forever, that is as we forever see now. 

All I have so far is my deeper awareness of myself and my "lost" seen one I'd not seen before in the now unseen. I never wondered this deeply about this before. I do not have the answer but at least now I have the question. The answer will come to the question or I will come to it...if I have time. Unedited....

The title of this blog, God is the Spiritual Personification of Existence, is based on the first definition perception of ancient writers in the dawn of our known history.

Today's Supreme Being is not the original definition. First report accepted was God defined Himself as Existence. "I am that I am." He did not create existence, He is the fountainhead of Existence. Therefore, God is not only understood to be a Spirit, but also as the spiritual 'personification' of existence. This is a definition, not a theory.

There are both concrete and abstract forces, the seen and the unseen, such as gravity. There are spirits in bottles, spirits in words, spirits in us. The spirit animates everything, from gravity to emotion, as well as semantically. This blog is about defining the usually undefined term God, not religion, but what is meant by the term God.

There is one blog touching on religion, Church and Faith Pulpit Rock, about Christian atheism found in many churches, which themselves quite often have less to do with God or even religion for that matter, than they do with social entertainment.

The blog linked below, Specific Theory of Existence, takes us to essay attempts suggested by former atheists who are sensitive to atheist thought. They are exploring views relating to seen and unseen physics, the known unknown, with the unknown not yet known.

Other blogs, like Memory Stones about cemeteries, touch on other subjects of passing interest. That link and others can be found below. They are hosted by Spencer Corkum for the Sunset Strollers and the QuokeBlokes. They are not carved in 'stone' but may be continuously edited and updated.

The man with an experience is never at the mercy of the man with a theory, even if it is his own. The Spirit deep within speaks only to each one of us and does not tell us anything about others, or what they are to think or do. We each speak the words we are told by our spirit which cannot be held back, by this our witness is revealed. Words are the fruit of whatever spirit they describe. Words are powerful, they reveal the spirit that drives them. Passersby are welcome to comment in the same spirit as the content posted on this blog.
All things seen come from the unseen and will return there. Since we know so little of all that can be known, in order to make a decision now it must be made in faith because we are deciding without all the facts. There are those who wish to survive the falling away of the body and those who desire slipping into oblivion which is a destruction of that which existed. This too is a spirit and cannot die.
Generalities speak to generalities and specifics to specifics. To intertwine the two is jumping categories, and a fallacy in logic.

An example of what a man says is an illustration of his argument, but it is not proof.
