Our Brother John !
Who is to say, and if they did who would believe it true, that these vessels we occupy and our earthly presence are not what we are about, but just a pause, a grounding place, a place to regroup our energies as we continue the more meaningful part of our existence.
We don’t understand it and we can’t understand it because our bodily form is inadequate in its design and capabilities.
We see loved ones suffer with broken, damaged bodies. This is their inadequate earthly design not their essence and who they are that are flawed. We see other loved ones that are full of energy, the John’s of the world that emanate what we perceive as living life and bringing excitement to all those around them. We love these people, we enjoy their presence, they are like the electrons that bounce around and when they come in contact with others they excite them causing a temporary chain of reactions. So we get some excitement for as long as that earthly being hangs around. Our essence, our souls, our energy, this is who we are, we are a loving, giving source, created in the image, an extension of a greater entity, some call God others have different names or beliefs as to what or who God is. Regardless, God, the name I choose, is an awesome entity, that we follow and look to for answers. Answers that we in this earthly form can’t obtain and if we did most of us would fear knowing them instead of embracing them.
How do we know that there is more to us? How do we know that this existence is nothing more than a spec in time? It is because we have so many questions, because we feel so confused as to why we are here. If we didn’t feel this way we wouldn’t have a need to know, how the Earth was created, or how did the universe begin. We wouldn’t care. Why should we? After all we are only here for 90 years if we are lucky or unlucky for that matter. It is because we try so hard to feel like we belong to something and never really feel like we are… where we are suppose to be. We convince ourselves that we have found our place and reason for being in this life, but we are never truly at ease. Like bottled energy, waiting for its grounding phase to be finished so that it can get on with doing something more, being someplace better or different. A place where we can reunite with others and share our love, without confines of these vessels, our bodies.
We gather in church to tell Jesus that we love him, and our loved ones like John that we miss them, that we haven’t forgotten them and we love them. As a group of souls and energies united we radiate to them, we radiate to each other. We gather to give each other hope and love in trying to endure our earthly pains.
