In the end it is all one big play ground  for eternity. The curse of being created in God's/Our image is the "forever." And how can one choose what they want to do forever, when they have no idea the kinds of fun things that are available out there for them to do forever?


This statement indicates a belief that we choose and then are stuck forever with that choice.  We are constantly changing and choosing on the earth - why not in spirit form?  

I will constantly choose to exercise my right to choose as I go.  Forever is a long time and can be very intimidating to think about for some people.  But we are never static.  So choices will constantly arise - as below, so above - and it will make it an adventure.

Scientists weighed and measured what the inner being that leaves the physical body when it dies - so there is an existence as such.  Yes, our mind creates the whole as it were - but there is the reality of life and death.  

Religions fall short of the mark in so many respects - I agree.  The more one knows what to expect is easier to work with than a blank mind that has no conceptions whatsoever.  

If you look at personal responsibility for your own efforts - spirituality will flow and you will be where you have suited yourself to occupy in the afterlife.  

Hence the need for spiritual lessons on the earth plane.

Spirit Talk there are alot of people that just love being in a physical body and they have alot of fun being in a physical body. You do not like being in a physical body, so to you those that do like it are in a state of ignorance because to you the spirit body/world is where things are happening.

Because of your slant to this world of things you need to tread carefully around discouraged people. You may end up going to church one day and find them talking to you from the spirit world. is all.

While the material world has become something of a 'me first' approach, I can admit to wanting out of its pull.  I do not accumulate things the way the material world wants us to live.  

Being in the spirit allows that there is so much more to our inner life.  But to be caught up in a mind/inner being rather than the realities of life does not suit the journey of the earth life.  

Balance is the key.  Sometimes I may balance to the spirit but for the most part I have been forced to deal in the reality of the material world.  All is temporary - even our relationships.

Thanks for initiating a discussion on the seven levels of heaven sunmystic and spiritalk. It has also given me some insight on this dream I had. Thanks again!
