1 Corintians 15:35
The Resurrection Body

35But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the eprishable inherit the imperishable.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed---in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, the saying that is written will come true. "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

55"Where, O death is your victory?
Where O death is your sting?"

The Real Self cannot be found for one very good reason it is invisible.

'we' mistake the Real Self as the physical visible material world.

But it is the other way around, the[ Real Self] is hidden
it is the unknown, yet 'apparently' known [one with the knowing]
in the visible for it is SEEN self evident.

It can only show up as an appearance appearing and disappearing.
AS the many and the multitudes an amazing self shining display of itself.
It had to take on a body as a vehicle.
Otherwise how else was this miraculous show to materialize?
This realization is so liberating.
We are not the doers of this wonderful creation,
we are merely the co-creaters and spectators.
The doing is done through us .. as us ..
For what a huge responsibility that would be on our feeble shoulders.

I vision this truth when i let go of 'my' individual self.
I have realized i am a sudden 'appearance' appearing from out of nothing.
Then i wondered ... where was this character named melanie..
for the billions of apparent years before i appeared on the scene?
Where was i and who am i ?
i am a small but individually cherry picked part in this cosmic play that's all.
I am GOD
It is true we are god, and yet to say that to the average un-suspecting person,
would probably be deemed offensive and they might even beat the hell out of you for saying such a thing.

The ONE appears as two .. it is an un-real reality illusion within the real,
the delusion is believing the physical is the real in this master zen trick.

How would ONE ever show itself? .. if not for the trick it pulls off.
this trick is but a temporal appearance in the physical form ..
IT appears AS the 'phantom' aka the human form and every other material form.
We are the reflection of itself. WE reflect .
The physical form eventually dies, but the real self is ETERNAL taking on ever new form.
In this wonder-ful ever unfolding endless expression of itself.

Full of LOVE

melanie.

Sheriff Matt Dillon '' i want him dead and alive''

His deputy ... ''but how can that be''

Oh! it be

said the sheriff.
