also , words of wisdom from the cudderman himself :
He says our body is .. well .. our body . our physical features and make up . the house .
Then he says our soul is the seed of our emotions . That's the place all of our emotions derive from. Our soul is what makes us feel laughter , joy , anguish , sorrow .. all emotions that we feel .
But our spirit? THAT is the place we can't touch. that is the place we can't see . THAT, my friend, is our communication device between God and mankind. it is that little voice in our head that speaks to us sometimes. the one that says "maybe i shouldn't go down this alley way." "maybe i shouldn't hang with her/him." it's also what we pray with .
how can people worship the devil? turning to him in hopes of safety or acceptance ? i don't quite understand how it works. i mean , it's not like he loves you . or even LIKES you . the devil hates EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY God created . so how are you gonna praise someone who hates you regardless ? i just don't get it . but hey .. i guess i can't know everything .
so, a common belief between most of us is that we live and we die , and the things that we do while living on this earth determines if we will go to heaven or to hell , where we will live eternally . and thats it . thats all . but that makes no kind of sense to me whatsoever because God is smarter than that. it has to be more to this picture than what we see .
i think that there are levels of life . i feel like the first level is insects , the next level is animals , and the third level is humans . i feel like the animals have the ability to kill the bugs , and we have the ability to kill both of them . so who kills us ?
i think that there is a level that is higher than us that we don't know about yet . i feel like they have the power to kill us the way we kill bugs and animals . because think about it , when we squash bugs and kill them , they just think they died . they don't know that we took our foot and stepped on them or took our finger and smashed them . it's just assumed that life is over with. they dodge death as much as they possibly can, but some things are out of their control . are you following me ?
i feel like what we do on this level determines if we move up to the next level or not . if we do good , we go to heaven , which is the next level we don't know about . maybe its Eutopia, where everything is beautiful and wonderful . maybe it's Pandora (the world in Avatar). maybe its a robotic world. or maybe it's that world we saw in the clip, where the Earth is just a simple marble compared to this other universe. who knows ?
lastly, i feel like Jesus is the ruler of THIS level , mainly because he was a human like us and we have proof that he was on this level. but i think that GOD is the ruler of ALL levels . like God is the one that made the heaven and earth , humans and animals . and HE is the foreseer of all levels . but i think that every level has a different level-ruler , as Jesus is to us .
thats basically it in a nutshell . my goal now is just to figure out what the next level is . is it the thing we call "aliens" ? since we've never come in contact with them but just have an idea of what they are ? maybe we call them aliens because we don't know what they are . but they could just be the next best thing . again , who knows ?
im not asking you to agree , but hopefully your mind is open enough to see it as a possibility .
