“Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” Dalai Lama

WHY WE CAN NEVER DIE
I had read it over and over but on this occasion, it made a whole new meaning to me. As I began asking why I haven’t understood it all these while then I realized the difference in my approach to the same information. Reading and meditation are different; in the past, I have severally read the following from 1 Corinthians 15:38-38:
“35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.”
This time, rather than reading, I meditated on the quoted biblical passage which then made me see why WE CAN NEVER DIE.
The truth is every living thing can die and decay, this is NOT a contradiction to the title of this article and we will get to understand better as we read.
As seen above, there’s a mystery that necessitated the question but there’s a greater mystery that’s worth our reflection, and that’s the mystery of the grain coming back to life. This is only possible because the grain seeds have a life within or right inside that’s masked by the perishing body we all can see; when planted, the seen body decays and the unseen life springs forth more beautifully and productively.
You see, the unseen life of the grain seed needs only certain kind of environment to thrive, and the earth where they are planted provides just that perfect environment.
Now how does these analogy matter to us? Just like the encased life within a grain that lives again when the visible body decays, the human soul encased by the mortal flesh and body, is the life in every human that NEVER DIES.
“If you don’t get determined to drive depression out of your life, depression will drive life out of you” -Alex Chekwas
TWO IMPORTANT QUALITIES OF THE SOUL
The human soul is so volatile but also very powerful. Volatile in that it’s easily fed by your actions and activities; when these inputs are positive, you end up having positive results; the opposite is also true when they are fed with negative inputs. This is why we must be very careful and mindful of the things we do, the words we speak, and the actions we take, as those are the environments that influences the performance of the soul and the results we achieve.
Why is the human soul very powerful? The soul has the ability to communicate with the supernatural forces that operate within our environment same way the life within a grain seed can communicate with the environment where the seed is planted; how you can take advantage of this supernatural interaction for your success, happiness, achievements and health, is entirely covered in a different transformation program.
The affinity of the soul to the supernatural makes it possible for the soul to depart when the physical body becomes inhabitable due to weakness and damage; it’s also the reason “we can never die even when we die”.
Just like the life within the grain that could get destroyed by some kinds of bad environments like fire, flood and even by humans, the human soul can also be influenced by humans, negative supernatural forces and the positive supernatural force (GOD).
HOW NOT TO DIE
Learn to preserve your “real life” by feeding your ONE and ONLY soul rightly today by the words you speak to yourself, the things you feed your eyes with and the good things you meditate on, then will your physical life be so positively influenced to live happily, peacefully and successfully that even if it dies, the soul continues to live supernaturally in hope having made impacts to humanity.
