Season 5 Podcast 59 A New Voice of Freedom, Argument for the Existence of God, Episode 40, “Dimensions of Life, Pt 2, Dimension Four, “Life After Death.”
In Pt 1, we discussed the first three dimensions of life:
Dimension One: Our self-existing intelligence and consciousness.
Dimension Two: Our spirit body.
Dimension Three: Our mortal body.
In this podcast we shall discuss the fourth dimension.
Dimension Four: Life after death in the Spirit World.
The one thing that all dimensions of life have in common is matter. All things are made of matter; however, not all matter is alike. There is mortal matter and there is immortal matter. There is temporal matter and there is spiritual matter. Mortal matter is subject to temporal laws and immortal matter is subject to spiritual laws. Laws do not self-exist. All laws are organized by God for the purpose of organizing matter.
Our carbon-based body is made of mortal matter and, therefore, subject to the laws of entropy which naturally leads to physical death. Only in the mortal world do we measure time by the spinning of earth, by the revolution of the moon around the earth, and by the revolution of the earth around the sun. The revolutions of celestial orbs give time its movement. Entropy gives time its arrow. Everything mortal moves toward death. Old is relative to decay.
The spinning earth gives us our day; the revolving moon gives us our month; and the revolving earth gives us our year. Time is an illusion given credibility only by death. Without death we could not perceive time. In the grave we shed our body which decays back into dust. Only death can release our immortal spirits from mortality. The grave is the gateway back into eternity which is our natural state. When we die we will feel like we are returning home, and life will seem like a dream.
God is in charge of each dimension of life. When we left the spirit world to come to earth, God placed a veil over our minds causing us to forget our former home. But everything God does is to increase our freedom. That is a key to understanding the laws of God that many appear to have overlooked. However, if one considered just the Ten Commandments and imagined a world where everyone lived those commandments to perfection how much freedom we would have—no jails, no murderers, no liars, no passwords, no theft, no fear—just make a list.
The only way we can increase in freewill, faith, agency, liberty, and freedom is to live on earth in celestial amnesia. For example, agency is the choice between good and evil. Who, standing in the presence of God whose majesty shines brighter than the noonday sun, would dare choose evil. We would live in fear not faith, in fretful submission not love.
We are immortal beings presently imprisoned in a mortal body released only by death. Our lives are governed by a celestial clock. We are confined to the time of our own solar system. Mortal man cannot live in any other condition except the conditions of our mortal planet. If man travels in space, to survive, he must take the conditions of earth with him. We are prisoners to our planet.
Why then did we choose to come to earth and choose we did, each and every one of us. God forced no one to come to earth just as God will force no one to go to heaven. That violates the law of justice, the single greatest law in the universe. Naturally Christians consider the law of mercy as the greatest law, and for good reason. Without the law of mercy none could be saved. Paul said,
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
