Also, each individual experiences his or her own mental state       which is relative to the history        of the individual body. These mental changes of state experience their own       individual unique histories which are common to but not experienced at he same       time as the mental states of other individuals. That is, we understand the       subjective time histories        of each human soul are unique but also could be considered s common       experiences. We all experience similar problems in our own time. These       experiences are not a direct function of the world cllock which governs the       physical events in our world, but more        directly relaed to the progression of the change in the mental states as a       function of free will.        >        > At the end, or at death, there could be considered a next state of altered       consciousness which is comon to us all but experienced at a separate earth       world time at which time life of the body departs from earth. What transpires       after is not a function        of earth time, but earth time is not the only rate of displacement of states       in the physical universe. With respect to light time, earth time is not really       relevant and viewing things from the perspective of earth time cloudds our       understanding of light        time.        >        > As we are also creatures of light, there is some need to undestand the       probable existence of heaven as a potential destination for our souls of light       after death.        > Many wish to believe that.        > Satan would have us to believe that we are nothing more than animals and       that there is no GOD, and that there is no life for good souls after we leave       earth. Satan would have us not believe in any GOD of Israel and all scripture       is but a fairy tale.        > Be careful what one believes, because the next state of one's own human       consciuosness is a function of or slave to what is believed.        > We are all slaves to the demands of our bodies, but faith in the Lord frees       us all from such slavery if we can but believe the truth.        > The Gospel tells us all that also.        > True Jews may reject the New Testament, but so do the Palestinians who also       reject the validity of the Old Testament and GOD of Israel which Christians do       recognize.

In the same way no       one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have       received is not the spirit        of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what       God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by       human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities       with Spirit-taught        words. 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come       from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand       them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with       the Spirit makes        judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human       judgments, 16 for,              “Who has known the mind of the Lord        so as to instruct him?”              But we have the mind of Christ.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
