Heads Up.......

to Whom do you bear resemblance?

there was a serpent in the garden of Eden

was that meant as physical form?........I think not

I say......it was a statement of character

BUT......that would be a description of SPIRITUAL form

and when you look into the mirror.......what do you see?

A tired, pudgy woman, with wrinkling brows from frowning too much. She has awesome hair, colored blue, purple and green, though there are stains from being fairly careless with the dye here and there, and rubbed off residue from sleeping on her neck. Typically, she wears old black pajamas, as there is no reason to dress up when you're stuck at home with messy kids, dogs, and cats.

so......you ARE aware

and you know how to look within

what DO you see?
I see an animal with my physical eyes, and believe that animal has a spirit, but it would not be correct in my opinion to say that humans are not animals.

It would be like saying a car isn't a vehicle because it has an operator.

and at what point .....(death)....

do you STOP being an animal?

does that condition?.....continue in spirit

so ....your spiritual form has some kind of 'animal' appearance?

have you a preference?
and are you in control of that?
One's physical eyes are only capable of detecting that which is physical so far as I can tell, so it doesn’t bother me in the slightest that people can't see my spirit.

In fact I would suspect somebody who claimed to be able to see my spirit with their physical eyes of having hallucinations.

I agree......

but the hour is pending....
WHAT will stand from the dust?
