With those concepts in mind I'd like to revisit MHGinTN's mention of being born again as a kind of "phase shift."
Indeed, one of my favorite geometric physicists, P.S. Wesson, posits that physical death itself may be a phase change:
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20
I dig “phase shifts”... but it's a bit too high flautin for me..
Easier for me to envision a Space Suit for the the spirit..
so the spirit can function in three dimensions..
but Donkey/Rider also works..
Wish I could display my vision(s) that I had(on that).. BUT
many don't even believe in “visions”.. like me; I didn't either until I had one....lol. (actually several)..
Be hard for someone to convince me there is no such thing as “the spirit”... I was “there”..
Basically these convos are just entertainment to me...
But If had the freedom to do it.. it might blow a few minds the way things really are.. (that I SAW)..
I asked the Holy Spirit after them(visions) what was THAT all about..
Should I go go tell somebody about what I saw.. and Why? ME?..
The HS said you have been praying for this info for at least 40 years.. and you ask why?.. we both laughed(at least I did)..
“His” response was quite humorous.. “Go tell them or not.. because “they” will not believe you anyway”..
I like that “guy” the Holy Spirit.. so practical and even funny..
Because what I saw was quite different than anything I imagined in my wildest “perceptions”..
So different I cannot reveal them even to you.. my precious friend..
