Souls and Spirits

Human Souls and Celestial Spirits...

Do not fear death—there is an afterlife!

The Human Soul, the essence of our inner self, passed into us by a deceased individual, has its origins at least as far back as when primitive man walked the earth. As for the millions of earth-like planets, even those billions of light years away, they too were seeded by hominid DNA as comets and meteors sliced through their atmospheres. God created The Soul so that he could provide guidance in our lives during the times of distress, and bless us with immortality after death.  The Soul also serves as a conduit so that God could observe our thoughts and actions, while hearing our supplications as we extol him.  Invisible to the living, but not to the deceased, they exist within us, and others hover among us in great numbers. Perhaps the Souls came to be some ten billion years ago, after the planets cooled down and ultimately could sustain advanced life forms that were hominids that migrated from one solar system to another.  That would be the case if the “Big Bang” created just our one magnificent universe, but there could have been and still could be other universes that will form, when ours shall collapse. There may even be multiple universes with one giving birth to another, a theory contemplated by several astrophysicists.
So we may ask ourselves how did God come to be? Where did he come from? Does he really exist at all? What does God look like? We can only utilize our imaginations and rational, to reach our own conclusions. We only can smile in adulation and thankfulness that he lives as the limitless dark matter in outer space exists, though we cannot see it with our eyes. We can laugh when we are happy, and we can be deeply touched by others with love. Though we cannot see our imaginations, our love, and our hopes, we are certain they are there and all of these gifts, and a great deal more, is what characterizes the Human Soul.

Hominids can also hate, feel envious, and be greedy. Those imperfections are bi-products of the environment; and are born out of such things as the role that parents, friends and circumstances play in their lives and how they have reacted to them. The Human Soul in its purest form is made up of star matter, of everything glorious, and it is passed from the deceased to a toddler randomly, unless The Creator and his Angels intercede. In the novel KING OF THE UNIVERSE, such happenings occur. You will have an opportunity to explore the incredible beauty of spiral galaxies and breathtaking nebulae. You will experience the ramifications associated with people who are courageous and others who capitulate, just as there are those who are arrogant and many who are compassionate. Crossing over into the spiritual world is just another dimension of space and time, a place where we still coexist—that is the living and the dead.
Perhaps, only hominids are blessed with Souls, and so we are the only animals on earth who can smile and laugh, love and hope.
In science class within junior high school, we learn that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It may be turned from a solid into a liquid, and then perhaps into a gas. Combining or stripping the molecules of some of its original elements may alter it. This is also the case with hominids. There is the onset if life and then inescapable death, till the physical aspects are eventually altered to particles of bone. Yet the traits of an individual and everything and everyone they have touched, are like indelible marks that echo about, never to disappear. The Soul of a misguided individual cannot pass on to another child. Instead the final remnants of the Soul and its host are lost for eternity, marooned within the dark matter in outer space. Those who have been kind, repentant, and compassionate in life will have their Souls move onward to others, when the hosts expire. For those individuals there is another steppingstone. Composed of trillions of pulsating—glowing particles, the metamorphosis into a Spirit remains eternal; to reside within the skies above the waters of a few chosen planetary bodies, some to pass along the secrets of God’s miracles, while others float in eternal bliss. They can travel great distances and retain all of their most cherished memories from their former physical lives. They can recall the sweetness of honey and smell the fragrance of their lover’s perfume; recall the beauty of a Hawaiian sunset and the faces and voices of their loved ones. . . forever.
Most humans on Earth believe in God regardless of the name by which they refer to him or her. They are sure of the existence of The Creator, yet they have absolutely no scientific proof. The validity of an all-powerful complex super being that had and has the capability to have made all things can neither be questioned nor proven. The hypotheses in the novel dictates that the events that shape our lives are prearranged. Yet each one of us maintains the freewill to choose right from wrong, to be generous or self-absorbed, to show self-discipline or to live a turbulent lifestyle. Thus only the situations we find ourselves in may very well be preordained, but how we deal with them is what is the determining factor that affects our spirituality.
The Five Books Of Moses, the Bible, the Talmud, Poems, Aramaic translations and God’s Commandments are supported by translations that are sometimes accurate, and other times only aberrations.  Scribes may have transposed writings with inaccuracies and theologians may have implemented their own opinions.  Most importantly is that one’s religious beliefs are not nearly as paramount as how tolerant we are of each others feelings and perceptions. There exists no Satan to distort or corrupt God’s Laws. What determines whether we are blessed with blissful afterlives or damned into dust that harbors among the dark-frigid matter are merely the choices that we each make every day of our lives. The Creator is all-merciful. He understands our frailties and is quick to forgive.
So remember that when you stroll through the park on a quiet Sunday morning, enjoying your peaceful solitude, the chances are you have a great deal of company!
