Well, I'm pretty sure that our bodily structure can't handle those velocities. So I would say a form of light. All matter in this void we occupy is
rendered from groupings of different forms of light at different angles,velocities, curves etc. Everything is vibration. There would have to be a
transfiguration, like it says in that verse I posted. Our particles may be able to travel, but thought, technically is the result of specific
structure in the brain (when someone injures their mind, thought processes are damaged), The brain may serve only as a connection node, of the true
being (which may be somewhere else) and the body.
so the mystery is, can our mind, can our "being" travel at the speed of light. This leads one to think about the soul. The soul in classic terms,
is bound with the body yet a separate entity. Death, I believe is the breaking of a shell. A birth if you can see it that way. Birth in death, your
soul is expelled from your body, the chain to the temporal is broken. Then, I believe either one of two forces will seize your soul. The phi spiral of
growth and life, or the phi spiral of decay and death. Then you will experience the source of each polarity.
Heaven as described, is a kingdom of light, and I've come to believe from further reading, an environment void of shadow.
Hell, as described in the Bible is simply being apart from God.
Imagine you are in a blizzard, naked, starving, you cannot die. You roam for ages, eons... in nothingness. You see a house. A fire is raging in the
hearth, food is on the table, people are celebrating. You knock, nothing, you yell, you try to break through, to get in, to go towards the warm light,
comfort, bliss. But the door is locked and the celebration eternal. You're out in the cold for good. You walk away and keep walking, your story
ends.
The pain of realizing what and who God is without being able to experience God firsthand. Hell.
Matthew 25:30
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Anyways, I believe the key and maybe the only key to another form with different abilities and function is through death and parting of the body and
soul.
Reincarnation is false I believe (so far). You die, worms eat you, worms poo out soil that helps sustain a plant, that a caterpillar eats that a bird
eats that a man kills and eats. The idea of becoming a bird, leaf etc. I say no. When the man eats what you supposedly are, you don't assume his
position or mind. But you can always say you assume his bones, and muscle etc, only to have the cycle repeat. I say no.
I'm getting off topic maybe? But many verses allude to these topics of transformation, consciousness, and the beyond.
What about every particle in existence is expanding at the speed of light in perfect ratio to all other particles, would we ever know, could we
know?
