Can anyone ever expect to by training, or care, obtain an ideal body? What does it mean to have an ideal body? An ideal body can only be assessed in its relationship to the environment that it must survive in. Obviously, if one were to survive like a fish under water one would have to meet a different set of criteria, or considering such survival as well, one could say that the ideal would be that body which could survive whether under water or in air.
Were we designed the way we are for a purpose, for this world’s environment, or are our bodies the means to another very different existence? Are we the end product of an evolutionary process or the beginning of one? Are we the seeds of a different existence, or does it end at death? Is there evidence for afterlife for which we must define “the ideal” or should we restrict our definition to the best criteria for surviving on this planet in the present environment?
Atoms never stop, yet they do not eat, why should we? After all, are we not made of the same components? Why then are we not able to just get charged up by the exchange of electrons like the atoms we are composed of? If energy is indestructible and only subject to change should we not be able to get our energy requirements from our surroundings. If we had an ideal body, such qualities as those of atomic particles, would be qualities that we would possess. This may sound ludicrous to some, but our bodies are comprised of the same atomic particles and we should therefore ideally have the same qualities. We were not however, for whatever reason, designed to have such qualities?
If we could survive by assimilating needed energy from the bombardments of the zillion of atoms around us, the food problem would not exist. Does death provide a means for continued life? Is the present the ideal in this current world or are we all on a journey, which culminates or begins with death? Is death the end or is it the beginning?
Decomposition or putrefaction is a process by which our world is cleaned up. Without the process of decay we could not have life. The millions upon millions of organisms dedicated to cleaning up our environment are incredible; they are a necessary aspect of our existence. Imagine what the world would be like if the dead of yesteryears were still around today. Our world was made to regenerate its life forms in a perfectly balanced eco system. As our spirituality becomes more in tune, we begin to appreciate that there is something more than that which we can comprehend. There is another dimension that seems to mysteriously touch our lives. We all experience it at one time or another. An experience that makes us ask the question, Is there a God?
Fathoming God in and of itself from a mere human perspective is an impossible task. The Bible tells us that God is not in the Universe but that the Universe is in God, “Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD”(Jeremiah 23:24 NKJV)*. Can anyone with any knowledge of the immensity of the Universe conceptualize God from the prospective of all things in the Universe being in Him? It is beyond our comprehension.
God loves to create; one only needs to look at the wonderful and numerous marvels of His creation to know that God loves to create. He is not an egotist that He should want man solely to be worshiping Him; He has made man so that by their trials and tribulations, He could create perfected beings for His holy nation, the epitome of His creation.
