Rather full of soul, full of spirit!

....continued: 



The ride has broken down and the chains have broken in freedom but I have not perished! For peace is offered in exchange for anxiety and resignation traded for hope when you walk in the light! For now I see my reality present: as the soul and spirit have been divided to their respective parts. Existing objects and times are as real as past and future ones. I'm looking forward to the new ride on the new earth. A place where we will be free of sin, sickness, suffering and sadness! For I live presently in a temporal world that is as broken as it has been since Adam and Noah. 

So I step out of the broken ride and back into the broken world. I am no longer disconnected or detached, although the decay is present, but rather I have been transformed with the renewal of my mind.  

And in this temporal world man must deal with the reality of time as it says in Ecclesiastes: (selected passages)

What has been will be again, 
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun. 

The wise man has eyes in his head,
while the fool walks in the darkness; 

Whatever is has already been, 
and what will be has been before; 
and God will call the past to account.

Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God. 

For death is the destiny of every man;
the living should take this to heart. 

When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one 
as well as the other.
Therefore, a man cannot discover 
anything about his future. 

The more the words, 
the less the meaning, 
and how does that profit anyone? 

As it is with the good man, so with the sinner

For the living know that they will die, 
but the dead know nothing. 

and the dust returns to the ground it came from, 
and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 

Here is the conclusion of the matter: 

Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man. 

For God will bring every deed into judgement, 
including every hidden thing, 
whether it is good or evil.
