Hey TM,

i have been waiting for you to bring this up....i am patient.....first let me tell you about my religion since you asked me about this in another post......and you will only have to trust me on this......my religion is my God.....i do not have a set of beliefs just a common sense and logical approach to life. I have looked and researched for the truth but blindly lead myself to a dead alley everytime....talk of the blind leading the blind. So i resigned to the idea that the only thing that held true for me at all times was a subconscious acknowledgement of a controlling power stronger than myself........for example using the atheists approach i thought i could stop breathing or have total control over other bodily functions.......my body was what i truly had all my life....so i knew it better than anyone else....or so i thought at that time. However i was unable to tangibly control even the simplest of actions however hard i used my mind. Soon i discovered death and what it could do to tear people apart. How could this body loose all its functions when all the body was made up of still existed? How could a person be alive one minute and 'dead' the next? Surely some aspect of themselves had detached itself from the body?

What i'm telling you is all true, its upto you to believe what i say or not. However question everything i say and understand it fully to appreciate yourselves.

I will continue.....this aspect that detached itself from the body could either now be gone forever, destroyed or in a foreign place that i could not comprehend. Yet how could we still remember the person when they were dead? Why did they not take their memories with them? What was the connection we still had? Was it just a thought? an idea? a memory? Surely this 'idea' of memories must be existing somewhere??

That took me back to what i held constantly true in my subconscious about the existence of a power within which all that i could see and all i could think of existed. This constant is now called God. So i searched within myself for i knew then that that 'Constant' was always in my subconscious......how could i realize this Power in a conscious state? All i had to do was ask God.....and i got my answers.....what i am telling you now.

I am going to let you absorb this for a while.....while i reply to your comments.
