"For those who may be reluctant to use the word and connotation of spirit, try “the field” or quantum physics on for size."
Why?
Because it is too difficult to defend the word spirit without admitting to all that that implies? Not to mention that makes one a lightening rod for all kinds of slurs.
I am being genuine, here. We are material and immaterial beings with immortals souls (spirits) made by God. The field or quantum physics or anything else in place of the word spirit makes no sense. It's just a way of saying "I ain't doin' all the God stuff, why I'm too intelligent for that".
Thank you for this discussion. Anyone who believes in the kind of 'immortality' that people like Martine Rothblatt sell is missing the point of life as a human so badly it's truly pathetic. I see a lot of techies so lost in their heads that, when they inevitably pass, they are in for a real shock. This is the danger of attachment. I believe there is a force or entity that feeds off human drama artificially created for its own benefit. We are born, we live and learn, we pass on. Gaining spiritual understanding cuts back on the drama. My cats taught me about living and death without drama. I am eternally grateful to them for that.
Yes! Material and immaterial. Haha, in this weeks post I said transcendent and earthbound, for the same…I’ll be exploring this in upcoming posts.
