Where you are
Life is a mystery, yet there are things that tell us what this place is.
1. It can now be demonstrated conclusively that the theory of evolution is false; all living things were designed and created. To be the designer, the being requires the abilities usually attributed to God - infinite intelligence and power.
2. The Shroud of Turin is now scientifically validated as the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. It proves that He existed, was killed in the manner described in the gospels, and came back to life in a sudden flash.
3. Near-death experiences (from resuscitated persons who were clinically dead) show that there is an individual existence beyond the physical universe, the "spiritual realm".
If all of us were at home in the spiritual realm before we came to this physical world, then our true selves are designed to live in the spiritual realm. We have obviously been made to forget where we came from. Any strong difference between the physical world and spiritual realm will be sensed by our true selves as something that should be corrected. By this we can discern things about the spiritual realm.

What our spirits remember and long for:
|
|
Here:
|
|
Permanence, complete stability
|
|
Constant change
|
|
Security
|
|
Danger; all die
|
|
No needs
|
|
Need many things, and even these change with age
|
|
Rank and power according to who we really are
|
|
Chance of birth mostly determines where we stand in the world; yet all are equally susceptible to destruction
|
|
Peace, happiness, freedom
|
|
Trouble, fear, frustration
|
|
Always healthy
|
|
Physical deterioration, injury
|
|
With kindred spirits
|
|
All types are mixed
together; we might never meet kindred spirits |
|
Instant communication to anywhere
|
|
Must invent communication devices
|
|
Music is always everywhere
|
|
Must play live or recorded music
|
|
Creating by imagining
|
|
Patience, effort,
skill, cost in treasure are required; reading and movies try to
recapture some of home |
|
Games are important
|
|
Games are frivolous
|
|
Spiritual virtues (love, loyalty, honor, justice, truth) are tangible, as real as rock
|
|
The struggle for survival, comfort, and material success crowd out the spiritual realm
|
|
The power of God rules and is apparent to all
|
|
God is hidden; there is a constant battle between good and evil; evil rules the world by deception, force, and chaos |
Is it any wonder that newborns are happy, and the dying are anxious to go when they get a glimpse of the beyond?
As mentioned, the Shroud of Turin validates Jesus the Christ. His words about who rules the world and what we are to do are a message to us from the spiritual realm. We will go back soon enough.
