Rest in peace... The short epitaph "May he/she rest in peace" is a prayerful request. Because the body is not moving do we assume the dead persons spirit is at rest? Do any of you have proof? Do you know for sure someone who died in a horrible fire isn't stuck with the burning smothering loss of life feeling for eternity? I say we don't know... When someone says "He's (or she's) resting in peace now, I usually go along with them because they would get irritated if I gave the response I'd really like to make. |

many people talk about out of body experiences. When I've gone to funerals, I look at the lifeless body, and it re-enforce the idea that the spirt is what leaves the body at death, because the body is still there, but the life force that keeps it functioning is gone. I think the spirit does leave the body when the body has become damaged to the point that the spirit can no longer utilize it. What does Utilize mean, I don't know. but I think we are far more than than flesh and bones and blood.... We are spiritual beings which is something far greater than any of us may explain what that means and how it works in the spectrum of life and death of the physical self. some people believe in reincarnation, by many different concepts. some say at a time in the span of human life that there is a resurrection. I don't know about that nor how it works, I do wonder as to those who choose cremation. how and what is there left of the body to resurrect. but that may well be figuratively in some spectrum. I don't think the spirit dies, I think it re-connects into the ultimate spirit and may then be given a new pathway to become a part of life. Maybe it then inhabit a new life form in another galaxy, there is so much we don't know and there within such not knowing, there is much we may never know.
