The Eternal Quest for Immortality: A Human Pursuit
From the moment of birth, humans have grappled with the inevitability of mortality. Our cells, once bustling with life, begin their cycle of death, while the very oxygen we breathe in seems to hasten this process. Have we truly evolved to live this way, or is there a deeper meaning to our journey? This article explores the concept of immortality and the eternal soul, urging us to reconsider our approach to life and death.
Is Death a Natural State?
Science tells us that death is a natural state, a necessity for the survival of the human species. However, the debate over whether this is a natural or unnatural state continues. The intricacies of cellular death and the role of oxygen in the bloodstream raise questions about the true essence of life.
Illogical as it may seem, the body’s cells die each day due to the oxygen in the blood. This is not a deliberate act but rather a byproduct of life’s processes. It has been suggested that oxygen in our blood is an “enhancement drug,” to be used but not meant to be there permanently. Essentially, the world is breathing backwards, with the diaphragm drawing in air to fill the body with carbon, rather than the lungs as we commonly believe.
The Role of Mortality in the Preservation of Life
Death hangs over life like a dark shadow, acting as a natural limitation on its timespan. Life, however, has found a way to counteract this by producing new generations, forcing death to start anew for each new life. This is a successful strategy, as life is the only thing that gives meaning to the universe. We should be cheering for life rather than taking the side of death, which often seems to be the default position in human society.
The Eternal Soul and the Choice of Eternity
Can we really transcend death and achieve immortality? According to various spiritual beliefs, the answer is yes. We all have eternal souls and must choose whether to spend eternity in Heaven or in hell, depending on our actions and choices in life.
Imagine a scenario where the world was created with the potential for immortality in mind, but through the introduction of oxygen and the human body’s flawed process, we face the constant threat of death. Our bodies are not meant to be temporary but to fulfill a divine purpose. The structures on Mars, which seem to have been inhabited at some point, could be a clue that we once had a different form of life with a higher potential for immortality.
The Road to Immortality
To achieve a form of immortality, we must choose to live a selfless life, guided by the divine will. This means seeking a relationship with God, the Father, and learning to follow His leadership. When we are content to seek His guidance and accept His mentorship, our hearts will be filled with His peace and love, and our actions will reflect a selfless life purpose.
The scriptures, such as those in Matthew chapters 5-8, offer guidance and a path to immortality. By surrendering our independence and following God’s wisdom, we can become acceptable for residence in God’s New Heaven on Earth. This is the most godly choice for our future immortality.
Conclusion
Death may be a part of life, but it does not define it. The pursuit of immortality is a noble and eternal quest. By understanding the natural limitations of mortality and choosing to live a life filled with divine love and purpose, we can transcend death and achieve a state of eternal significance.
