The life of a person is his love. All religion has relation to life, and the life of religion is to do good.
Now, leave that there for a moment. You asked "What survives the machine?.."
We all have a natural and a spiritual, or external and internal. The spiritual or internal, although we are not conscious of it, is in the spiritual world. For good or evil, it's were our affections come from. We think from the spiritual.
The spiritual world is substantial and composed of 2 elements -- love and wisdom. Time and space do not exist there. There is a sun there which represents the Lord and it eminates heat (good) and light (truth).
We have 'dual citizenship' in both worlds while we are alive. The mind, will and understanding are real spiritual organs and are vessels for love and wisdom and survive the 'machine'.
Back to the original statement -- that formula will lead to Heaven. You will unite your thinking to good.
There are, of course, people and spirits who pervert the Lord's love and wisdom to evil and falsity. They, of course, are condemned to hell.
I can accept most that..
