Life and Being

What is our life?

Interesting subject and there was a response listed below that I found quite interesting and I'll post it here:

Now, what is life? After that, what is death? Did you know that the least known of all the sciences is the science of man? We have everything else figured out but the most important science of all.

It's my understanding that man or life is spiritual. We are spirits living in a body or sometimes referred to as our temple. So, if man is not body and man is spirit, then spirit cannot die. From dust our body was created and to dust we will return but if our body is simply a combination of chemicals and water, then man is soul and spirit, not body.

In understanding the make up of a man's (or woman) body is indeed water and chemicals then mind is spirit and not physical.

Therefore if we are all spirits and our soul cannot die, then what is death?

I'm doing some work for the University of Science and Philosophy and have had the opportunity to look at some of the works of a not-so-well-known philosopher and scientist, Walter Russell. He has written about reincarnation and also states that man is not of body but of spirit. His books are very good, although not the easiest to read... These aren't novels by any means. If you'd like to see some of the books written, go to www.Philosophy.org and you can see them there.

With that being said and if we are spirits, and the spirit cannot be killed by our way of thinking, then what's the next step?

Could it possibly be that we (mankind) are spirits created by the mind thought energy of one creator, God? So if we are created by one mind and one energy, doesn't this mean that mankind is connected through mind thought energy? Maybe this is what Jesus is talking about in Matthew 25:40 where it says:
Quote:
“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.”
I'm not trying to pin this in the religion catagory because Religion, I believe is made by mankind just as we make our own hell. However, life and the science of mankind is tied to a creator.

What are your thoughts?
