Now or Forever?

I got a thought from a line in a book and have been running wild on it.

If we don't die, just shed the body; and, as I believe, there is no time there; then is what we experience not what we call "death" but just a mass and perception change?

Then we see us as we really are in the light of His power of loving truth. We see Love for the Power that it is, the power of life, and that there is a Loving Creator when we are changed to perceive it.

IF we know this then what part of us is most important to develop and protect? (yup, not the body, not the mind - only the loving spirit).

What matter then if we have a flawed body or a bad physical habit? If we can learn to see each one as a loving spirit in eternity with us those things really shouldn't matter. What matters is we get stuck thinking this is all there is and these bodies all the life we will ever experience.

We carry the things of this life in our spirits and they hurt us. A heroin addict is not an less of a loving spirit - it is a body with a spirit that hurts. We try to ease the pain by numbing or stimulating the body and it is love we all need - for ourselves, for and from others - as we walk down here. We can't see how to do it, they don't teach it in school.

If we live eternally and it is a truth - aren't we in eternity now? But in this body we can't percieve it. There is a time and mass differential we are not equiped to experience from this place.

But if this is a part of eternity our loved ones really are with us. We are all in the same time, we just can't see it. We have to believe it. Like crystals show the truth of sunlight, that it contains the whole spectrum of colors, but the sun light looks yellow or white to us. Unless we look at it through a crystal we can't see the rainbow - our eyes aren't built to see it that way here. We needed an tool, an adapter, a transformer to see the truth in the light.

Was Jesus, like a crystal, the one to show us the truth in the living love of a creator? The time change and the mass change were in His power to show us that they don't affect what we are?

If this is a part of my eternity I want it to be something I can enjoy thinking of for a long time. It changes the way you do things when you see it may be with you not just now, but forever.

There is One to heal the hurts we have gotten from forgetting where we came from and are going, One to show us the way home and restore our joy to us so there is no fear in going - what a gift. To give his own time to come back from a perfect place to this one to show us we live.
