Life and Death

While reading some of the articles on this very diverse subject, I realized almost everything was based on some sort of belief system, all of which are taught to us from infancy to adulthood. We are told we must believe in this or that ideology because if we don't there are dyer consequences in the future for us.

What if what happened to the child who died after being hit by a drunk driver, was just the result of a man who was too inebriated to drive properly and when it came to negotiating the corner on which the child stood, the driver was unable to judge the distance between the car and the child and the end was the life of an innocent.

What if in war all the people that were killed were supposed to be killed. If that is the case, then by what edict or divine pronouncement would be set forth that all these die? Could it not have to be the fact that the war machine itself randomly took the lives of others with no thought about it?

Now, what if all these people simply slipped out of their physical bodies here and walked across the veil of death and walked into another body and life that was waiting so that they might fulfill their goal over on the other side?

It is possible that we simply are eternal in our spirit and when the goal is accomplished in one life it follows the silver chord to another. A way of staying on course while you walk, blind to the next set or event, thus having to hold onto the silver chord to show you the way, rather like a line of visually impaired people would do while taking an excursion together.

Speaking, somewhat in metaphor, it seems easier to understand the language of spirituality that might be used to explain a concept that is far beyond our daily experiences.

What if people who are dead to this world find useful jobs to do in the next? Let's
