Bulbs, Electric, Neon, Or...

 

Are our brains light bulbs? Do they burn so long then go out? Once burned out, are the only good to go to the trash and decompose? Are our fates from dust we came to dust we return? Whether electric, neon, or other light bulbs?

Or are our brains like wheat, as the Gospel story states? Do we die to rise again as fresh growth? Do we become more than we ever were in life once we die? Do we multiply ten, thirty, a hundredfold bearing fruit?

These are the two views. One the atheist with a burning bulb as long as alive and the other the Christian grain of wheat waiting to rise. Is belief the difference between the two, or is there more? Can we have more than a hope based on a belief in Christ that we will live beyond our grave?

Our hope in life beyond the grave can be based on even greater belief than just being like wheat. We can base our hope on reality not being composed of lifeless matter in a vacuum of space by accidents adding up to this day. We can base our view of reality on the outer space existing as an organ of perception and creating universes as easily as having visualization sessions. We can live consciousnesses in the infinite mind, setting like the sun in our mortal lives at death, then to rise finally in life beyond the grave thereafter!

Waking life and sleep like days and nights passed on this side of the veil of mortal life. Then on death, the veil is passed beyond, and the day rises in eternal life. No longer under the curse of Adam's family. No longer having our cross to bear. Once again in Paradise.

Our hopes for life after death does not have to be based on belief alone. It can be a matter of orientation based on the hypothesis that life does not happen in a vacuum by accident. It can be based on the theory we live in an infinite mind that is alive and God! It is suggested one try to get in touch with the invisible, infinite living God to find out...
