LIFE FORCE

It remains a complete and tantalizing mystery; the mechanism of the life force. From the insects that infest this World to human beings.............the evidences of a life force are what defines our Earth. It appears to be a runaway chemical reaction...........metabolism..........with the emergence of biochemical structures and organization. And the metabolism only operates for about 100 years in the most lucky humans. The runaway chemical reaction that is life.......its chemistry.......only operates for about 100 years in humans. Why 100 years and why not 1000 years? We are placed here to learn through experiences of happiness and grief, and love and hate, and so on, that is the point of life.....to learn and to create. But is there a way, using chemistry, to extend human life from 100 to 1000 years. Given that there are some examples of organisms as complex as trees that can exist for 1000’s of years. It must be complex and the whole human body would have to be programmed to regenerate tissues and organs continually and dispose of waste tissue and organs efficiently. The body would have to be regenerated every 10 to 20 years for say indefinitude. Or is it possible to capture someone's memories and their personality......their identity and read it off of the brain tissue in to a electronic storage and processing machine. So a person could go on living.......their thoughts, emotions and memories in a electronic device............or would that be the worst hell that one could imagine..........I think we don't live 1000 years because our definite personalities form within 10 years and our learning ability only extends for 30 or 40 years, at most, and our creative energies are probably exhausted within 100 years......And because a lot of the population does not create anything of lasting value and they are often challenged morally through most of their lives. I personally want to live 1000 years, but not alongside most of the other population I meet every day in my life.........I suppose the reality is less than 100.

PURGATORY and REINCARNATION

Teachings of Christian faith according to Catholicism starkly point to the existence of a

 middle state of being between Heaven and Hell. This middle ground is termed “Purgatory” for it is here that souls are placed, or shall we say “recycled”, in order to achieve a state of spiritual purification through the purging of sins from a past life. This issue naturally lends itself to the question of where might “purgatory” exist in the material World, or if and how much time does it take to purge oneself of past accumulated sin and ascend to Heaven or descend in to Hell. Heaven and Hell are taught by the Catholic church to not have a physical location, and instead to be perhaps ethereal as a state of being attained by the individual after an existence or sentence in Purgatory. It would appear from this scheme of things that Purgatory exists, potentially, as just the ever present Earth. It is thus upon this Earth that human beings play out their sentences in an ever present Purgatory, and from which one sees glimpses of the ethereal Heaven and Hell out of which are formed the possible destinies of each human being. As to the duration of a sentence in Purgatory, one might suppose that it may take, and probably does take, more than one lifecycle of birth, life, death and rebirth to reach a state of spiritual purification necessary to attain an existence in Heaven, or oppositely it may take more than one lifecycle to achieve a final destination in Hell. Under this scheme human beings exist on Earth on a day-to-day basis, within this material Purgatory, to meet challenges to their moral state of well being and to learn through experiences, for the betterment or destruction of their spirits. It can be seen from this state of affairs that life is perhaps “recycled” within Purgatory and that the spiritual essence of a human being is thus typically reincarnated through a transmigration of the soul to a new human being in rebirth. Finally, it is to be remembered, from principles of relativity, that there is no past or future time and that there is only the ever present on the material Earth. The existence of the ever present thus lends itself to this particular interpretation of Purgatory, or reality, in terms of principles of conservation of life and the corresponding conservation of spiritual entities.
