ABOUT OUR SPIRIT?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8805343 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8805343\"

body.\u00a0 This implies that when we shed our bodies, our spirits go on.\u00a0 And why not?\u00a0 The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.\u00a0 It seems that our bodies are full of energy, and if so, when our physical mass no longer functions, it stands to reason that our energy leaves.\u00a0 For people who believe in a spiritual life, one that represents &#8220;intelligent energy,&#8221; the energy goes on in an organized and reflective way.\u00a0 Many of the sages and yogis of ancient, and even more recent times, have claimed that this is true.\u00a0 Even in our everyday existence, many people have claimed to have visits, in a variety of ways, from recently deceased loved-ones.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>What might this mean in the grand scheme of our lives?\u00a0 If we truly are eternal beings, could it mean that the goals of our material existence might change.\u00a0 I once read a theory that, within the history of Christianity, the concept of reincarnation was rejected.\u00a0 This was not done to dissuade people from believing in an afterlife, but rather to control the masses by intimating that they had to get it right in this one.\u00a0 To get it right meant to obey the church leaders, because it was proclaimed they were the portholes to heaven.\u00a0 Interesting theory.\u00a0 Even in the New Testament of the Christian Bible it proclaims that we must have a personal relationship with God.\u00a0 Within the commandments is proclaimed that we shall not want, we shall not covet.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In every religion, people who have seen God have stated that the goal is to remember our heritage, and devote ourselves to it.\u00a0 Jesus said that we should not worry about where our food and clothing come from.\u00a0 In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna essentially says the same thing to his disciple, Arjuna.\u00a0 Why would those, and other great masters of old, claim that we must forsake a focus on the material world?\u00a0 Perhaps it is because, since we can&#8217;t take the material stuff with us, we should focus on the one relationship that is everlasting, our being part of the Infinite Energy which created this, and all life.\u00a0 Those who have succeeded have appeared, from time to time, to their followers after they had died, just like Jesus did.\u00a0 They will say they are the examples in life, the potential of every man to learn about and claim his heritage as part of this great expression of this amazing creation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>So why not pursue knowledge and friendship with our spiritual selves?\u00a0 It could lead to amazing discoveries, and comfort about the future!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
