If that is so, then these interactions in the flesh are reflections, and pale ones, of the real interaction at the level of spirit. If that is so, then the feelings of love and tender care we 'develop' for one another are also a pale reflection of Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-28962358210572687592014-12-22T08:37:44.130-05:002014-12-22T08:37:44.130-05:00Yes we are spirit, we are spirit beings inside mor...Yes we are spirit, we are spirit beings inside mortal frames.

Your last sentence is the one my own spirituality rejects. I'm thoroughly convinced that in spite of appearances, what we do has meaning and lasts. We are connected Shirley, everyone and everything is connected in the spirit in a very real way. Whatever language we use to describe the spirit, it is the eternal and meaningful part of Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-83003928265604674362014-12-19T17:52:42.465-05:002014-12-19T17:52:42.465-05:00Oh I don't consider Christianity meaningless i...Oh I don't consider Christianity meaningless in any shape or form. No, that isn't what I meant. I was referring to the way we are portrayed by Richard Bach. One of my favourite books is Ecclesiastes for is speaks about life as it is. All we can ever do is enjoy life, our work, whilst we may and love our creator God with all our being. We will get to know the real meaning of it all after Shirley Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697497719791327675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-43555349982176796662014-12-17T06:09:10.672-05:002014-12-17T06:09:10.672-05:00Poor Solomon.

But I am sure you are also aware paradoxically it is often the case in the study of that complexity we can get an inkling of the simple ancient message of the writer.

Not that would mean life is a bed of roses, more I think as to how we relate to our fate and in the choices in our Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-62938533149732916052014-12-15T16:53:13.576-05:002014-12-15T16:53:13.576-05:00Thank you Tom.Thank you Tom.Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-3551701903432274872014-12-15T12:08:00.710-05:002014-12-15T12:08:00.710-05:00That post is complete in itself, without comment. ...That post is complete in itself, without comment.
