anything....anyhow....Consume what? Spirits?
yes..but...I don't view my existence as life/afterlife. I, mySelf, existed before I was born into this perceived reality and will continue on after this body and mind expire. I view this temporal reality as illusory, and my body is just a vehicle of the experience.
and did someone promise you a stable of virgins?I'm all for consummation.
Ya know… I don't think someone really thought that through. Can you imagine that many young ladies as a group sniping about who gets what, seniority, the drapes? Time for a really looong vacation.and did someone promise you a stable of virgins?
anything....for any cause or reason
be creative if you don't know
I won't mind
Sometimes I don't know if you're joking.Eventually spirit will consume everything, even itself, in one single gastric expulsion from the center of the now into the elevator of the passed.
. . . and then the great departure . . .
or maybe no fuel is required?
energy cannot be destroyed
but it CAN be converted
contained
transformed
Sometimes I don't know if you're joking.
Is it sometimes you don't know if I'm joking when I am or I am not? Or both?
This particular episode was a parody of hippie spirituality. You see, the Biblical terms, that is, Hebrew and Greek, for spirit, basically mean any invisible active force. Something that we can't see but that produces results that we can see. This sounds like "supernatural," "religious," "superstitious," nonsense, and it most certainly can be. Just a lot of hot air. Because the Hebrew and Greek words for spirit can be translated as "wind" and "breath" or "breeze."
So, in terms of religiosity, something that has a practical origin can become just so much "spiritual" nonsense. Oprah Winfrey's Life Class.
In this humorous instance . . . flatulence in an elevator described as some mystical expectation.
Spirit does not need to consume; spirit is energy from God. Spirit is the force that makes inanimate matter animate; the life that was breathed into Adam (Genesis 2:7) to make him a living being, and which will return to God upon death, just as our body returns to dust (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
That's absolutely true, but spirit is also mental inclination, wind, and spirit creatures like Satan. Habakkuk 2:19 / Revelation 13:15 / Exodus 10:13 / 1 Kings 21:5 / 1 Kings 22:21 / Matthew 8:16
