If there is some supreme force or supreme being that creates that controls the conscious body then why is there evil? For this I go back to the Bible. At one point in the Bible haven't asked that divided with God in charge of heaven and the earth given to Satan. He does that mean we have competing consciousness? That may be. But how do you know who is in control? That is a great unknown question. I discovered for some reason I must be under control of the supreme being that it be called God. I didn't find no hell of the end of the tunnel or did I find punishment pain or any of the other things that are associated with what we know what we assume is hell. So is hell here on earth? Maybe. That is why we have the presence of evil and that we have calamities occurring regularly.
When I passed the other realm there was a sense of peace. I did not have a sense of fear or sense any aspect of evil. Does this mean that I found heaven?
I friend mentioned that we as a human species have never come to grips with the differences between life and death. This is probably true in many ways. If the physical body is discarded why does superstitions exist that the body must remain intact. And we all know it is not reused. It is embalmed to preserve it. My question is why do we do this practice? And I know there are some follow the idea of ashes to ashes and dust to dust. They choose cremation. Those people recognize that the physical body has no further use and the consciousness or the conscious body has left this realm.
How do you see God? Is he a forgiving being or is he a vengeful and punishing God? I found God to be forgiving. I think as a God he is very aware that life on earth is a battle. We are constantly faced with choices and we do as best as a lower life form (we are not gods) to make the right decisions. However we sometimes make mistakes and for this reason he forgives us.
We talk of Christ. In fact the religion of Christianity is supposedly based upon his teachings. I then wonder why there are so many denominations of Christianity. Is this because of a human emotions taking control? So many denominations see God in different ways. Also there is a bad habit of quoting the Bible out of context. The Bible needs to be looked at as a whole book. It is the total works of man's interpretation of God's word. God didn't write it he might've inspired it but it is the work of man. Therefore it is subject to human error. When reading the Bible we need to pay more attention to what Jesus said and what Jesus did. We should not take the words of a disciple as the final word. Most of the books of the Bible written by disciples were letters. These letters for address to particular groups of Christians that were trying to find direction in a development of an understanding of God.
