Spirit is the source of matter. It pre-existed what we think of as matter, and it surrounds and informs matter. It is the energy of which matter is composed. If you look at matter under high enough magnification you will see that there is in fact nothing solid there at all, just little whirling, vibrating bundles of energy. That energy is spirit, and it's higly organized and coherent energy.

To imagine that it survives biological death to be "Tortured for all eternity in the fires of Hell" is a hideous and primitive notion invented by religious people who wanted to terrify their congregations into obedience. It could be reborn as a squirrel, or as a rock, or as a cloud, or as whatever, because energy does not disappear, it moves into new forms, expressions, and manifestations. It doesn't have to go anywhere to be with God.

You are yourself the empirical evidence of what you seek, but you don't see it.
