With the genuine life force.
The quest for material comfort. Maybe that is what will do us in. Eventually. The ultimate selfishness. Everyone for his/her self. A physical survival. When really, that's the wrong way to go. One must want to live as a spirit. That is the true individualism. True freedom. When one no longer needs material comfort. We are so physically oriented. Because we have bodies. More so than minds. We seek physical pleasures. And when we look at death, we often dream of a resurrection. In a physical way. In our bodies. Rather than spirits. That is the bug-a-boo of Christianity. Distortion. A physical survival. Rather than a spiritual presence. So many of us prefer being an animal. A creature. A physical being in a physical world. Oh, such limitations. No such thing as communion. With the creator. With the genuine life force. --Jim Broede

But don't our bodies force us to attend to them? Aren't we both spirit and body but never just spirit? It would be great if we could become spirit alone but isn't that a pipe dream?
Two minutes ago I didn't know you existed, Jim. But in perusing the alz message board on spouse/partner caregiving I spotted your good reply to Bob and your blog url. Looks like you have a very thoughtful blog here.
Best, Marden
I count out nothing, Marden. In life, all things are possible. Maybe we eventually shed our physical being. So that our spirit can soar and become free. I have an open mind rather than pipe dreams. --Jim
