My 'logic' (i.e.
projection) suggests (i.e.
story-'dictates'?) that, as the coming 'night'
envelopes this 'day' (this 'day' will
clearly 'end, IMO!), it will be
best (i.e. most
pro-
ductive) for us (anyone) to
prioritize on what will
serve to facilitate/augment the
process of one's own and one's fellow beings'
transitioning to a 'higher' (i.e, more optimally creative)
next life. Any 'healing' of (i.e. restoring of
physiosocial 'function' to)
this one (whether shamanic/magical
or technological-idea based) will
at best be a
temporary fix (and
ultimately 'losing' proposition),
like resuscitating and prescribing cholesterol-reducing medication to a fat old man.
What will lead to one's own or others' soul-development process (the
soul is what continues into one's 'next' life, whether this be 'in' a body' (via reincarnation) or as a full-fledged spiritual being). Here is some of what I said in my treatise pertaining to this issue (read slowly, rereading clauses and sentences as may be necessary to grok what I am '
pointing' to):
"
Psychospiritual communion in a Spirit of Love and Joy is what is most relevant to actualizing the kind of Life I speak of: Conscious affirmation and appreciation of intimately (via mutual recognition and empathy) shared thoughts and feelings, whereby and wherein one whole-mind-n-heart‑edly embraces and revels in the fact that whoever or whatever one is in the presence of is a wonderfully familial being-doing aspect of The Flow of Life Itself,* any differences between one’s own and others’ world ly situations and/or conditions notwithstanding!
[Footnote*: It is because they have spousally[!] embraced The Flow of Life Itself that Cosmically oriented and committed individuals don’t think of themselves as being ‘alone’ and no longer feel ‘i’solated even when they aren’t with others who are especially ‘in synch’ with them, the way people who haven’t yet done so naturally do. As the apostle Paul testified: “I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature [nor idea, I would add], shall be able to separate us from [The Flow of Life Itself].” (Romans 8:39); albeit, instead of the words I placed in brackets, he said “the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” to express what he meant because of the particular way in which he conceptualized what said words reference.]
Think about [what] this actually means: Among other things, it means that even if you or others who you are presently mentally and emotionally Love‑and-Joy-relationally engaged with were to physically ‘die’ the very next instant, or even if you or they were to go on to ‘live’ and possibly ‘die’ dreadful (in terms of being physiosocially difficult, painful and/or deprived) ‘lives’ and ‘deaths’, then even if not in some future lifetime on this planet (let’s say, because it becomes uninhabitable), your souls could and would either:
- (a) continue to your relational association by reincarnating together (in different ‘forms’☺ of course) in the context of another planet’s Life‑matrix if you and they so chose – that is, assuming you and they didn’t complete your incarnational ‘school’ curriculum and ‘graduate’ herefrom by way of fully realizing your Cosmic ‘I’dentity here this time around; or
- (b) continue your ‘association’ in completely psychospiritual realms – that is, assuming you and they did ‘graduate’ and so had no further purpose to fulfill by incarnating again; or
- (c) assuming you ‘graduate’ and they don’t (so they continue to reincarnate) or vice versa, because there really aren’t any ‘rigid’ boundaries between physical and non-physical realms of Life (these are actually existentially interleaved), just engage across the apparent gap between these. In the latter case, disincarnate souls inhabiting purely psychospiritual realms (this also pertains to those that are presently just ‘between’ incarnations) may interact and communicate with incarnated folks in undetected ways (i.e. not consciously registered by locally focused brains) in their ‘waking’ lives, and incarnated souls may ‘trip out’☺ and engage with disincarnate souls they have an affiliational affinity with in their ‘dreams’, albeit such realm-spanning interactions and communications may not be recognized for what they are because these are generally physical-brain translated into the ‘language’ of images and symbols and, in any case, lack of biosensory impression usually results in their quickly fading from brain-based memory upon one’s bodily ‘waking up’.
Those who ‘see’ what’s happening in this light will know that they as well as others don’t really ‘need’ to grasp for or hold onto anyone or anything in order to become and continue to experience being completely happy (that is, fully Love and Joy related) souls, and that there’s no really compelling ‘reason’ for them to ‘lament’ the worldly destruction, loss or inaccessibility of anyone or anything either, not to the point where they are completely unhappy at least. They will live knowing that they ever-continue to be munificently ‘gifted’ by, and, though there may of course be momentary lapses in this regard as a result of their experiencing physical and/or emotional pain, generally be very appreciative of and feel enormous gratitude for being included in, Life’s ever-ongoing Love and Joy Flow Process, and so whole-mind-n-heart-edly engage in [generous [/i]sharing[/i] and unabashed celebration thereof no matter what!"
I remind you of
my 'view', albeit I think this is presently anathema to you, that this whole world (of 'nature') is basically (in terms of
function) just kindergarten scaffolding whereby nascent souls are 'given' the opportunity/challenge/
chance to develop and possibly mature. It too (not just our bodies) is 'mortal'.
