I had another post back there which vanished for some reason. Let's see if it's in the buffer...

Yes it is! It's from yesterday, as follows:


Yes, Carol, that's exactly what I was thinking. Matter is simply spirit at a lower rate of vibration.

Example:

Slowest spirit - solid matter
Faster spirit - liquid matter
Still faster spirit - gaseous matter
Some much faster forms of spirit - radio waves, radiation, magnetic fields, electricity, sound, heat, light
And faster than that - astral thought (memory and emotion)
And faster than that - causal thought (formative, creative ideas and concepts that give birth to various phenomena and outcomes)
And faster than that - something we cannot define because it completely encompasses AND is within every part of our whole field of relativity and we can't get outside it or next to it or away from it because it is not separate from us...so it cannot be measured. (Some have called it "God", and in so doing have usually invested it with all too human characteristics...thus creating God in man's image! This is the kind of old-fashioned religiouse belief that Wolfgang rightly objects to, as it is putting the cart before the horse and creating an unreal God. A myth, in fact.)

The above list is only partial, I'm sure, but it gives a general idea of the principle of spirit (which is intelligent consciousness taking form as matter or energy or pure thought). It is not a human phenomenon, it's beyond human. Human beings, like other living and even apparently inert things, are a manifestation of it, that's all. And they are NOT the only manifestation of it by any means.

Everything is made in "God's image", not just human beings. And that doesn't mean that God looks exclusively like a man, a bird, or a rock! It means that they all look the way a bundle of highly intelligent energy looks when it slows down and takes purposeful form as a physical item or being...like a cloud, a star, a comet, a rose, an ant, or a human being...or a single atom, seen under a microscope.

And no, Wolfgang, I cannot prove any of it, nor would I expect to be able to prove it. :-)
