Human Being - Being Human

The human is an interesting being.

What makes us human?

Our physical body, obviously.

But what keeps the body alive?

Is it the heart, beating in rhythm,

keeping the blood flowing,
coursing through the body?

Is it the blood itself;

running the body like a well-oiled machine?

Or is it the brain which tells the heart to beat

so that the blood can flow?

 Science has evidence, if not proof, that the soul/spirit,

though invisible to the human eye, indeed exists.

It has weight, if only just a fraction of a gram,

which the human body is relieved of

immediately upon death.

So, perhaps, it is the soul/spirit which keeps the body alive.

We know that the body dies

and we (many) believe that the soul lives on

forever.

So, if we have been created in the image of God,

yet our human body dies,

one can reason that it is our

spirit-being rather than our

physical body which is the very image/replica

of God.

The realization of this blows the human mind

(realm of thought)

wide open.

The impossible no longer exists for those who see.

History records that while some of Jesus' disciples

were traveling, Jesus appeared to them, yet they did not recognize him

until he spoke to them.

Then again, when his disciples were gathered together for fellowship,

he appeared to them and they did not recognize him at first either.

When I was a child, I used to wonder at (about) this.

But now it makes sense.

The human eye looks for a human being,

but when we look spirit to spirit, we see so much more.

"Sublime"

doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of such a realization.

It is liberation times liberation times infinity.

WOW!
