8. Immortal Spirit (A)

Humans worldwide universally agree (very few are the dissenters) that there is a spiritual component to their lives. Most would say, I think, that "they have" a spirit. Actually a spirit has them.

The component parts of your body think. No matter how small, down to amorphous energy, the parts inter-communicate and make agreements. The most basic agreement is to hang out together or to stay separate; there is a "spectrum of togetherness". For instance, a diamond, being very dense, endures for millennia while water changes relatively quickly to ice or steam.

The only question about this is not that they Do it, but How and Why they do. The How is currently answered by "telecommunication" because that's all that's left; there's nothing discernible in between the bits. The Why is logically answered by a series of deductions based on the impossibility of using any kind of force in this tiny arena as the bits are always moving. (Just by trying to observe their infinitesimally tiny arena somehow motivates them to move even more.) Eliminating force leaves only persuasion and again, done somehow by "telecommunication" because that's all that's left.

Tiny bits assemble when they do because (a) they like each other, and (b) they like to temporarily be together. Remember TSB is all that is and it should not be surprising to conclude that TSB's tiny parts have a mutual affinity. And it should surprise no one that larger entities, like us, get to move them around and assemble them into entities like bodies (cloning is a fact), Mercedes-Benz SL-5OOs and Popsicles. After all, we humans have, because of our size, a much larger "persuasive mass" than they have. And since we are the part of TSB that does most of the experiencing here on the "physical plane" it all makes sense. Given our role, it makes logical sense that the bits of energy would cooperate with us. (The role of animals, who are also experiencing, is, at this time, unclear to me and there is evidence that the bits themselves experience and I don't know what to make of that either).

Anyhow, once you become aware that the beneficent TSB is everything. you begin to realize that all you can experience is some aspect of TSB. Since it is statistically true that happy people live longer and can have more happy experiences it behooves us to learn from our experiences happily. One does learn from misery, no doubt about it, but what you learn is that technique, that style, is slow, miserable, and largely unnecessary. You don't like it and you don't want any more of it no matter how much you've learned from it.

What eventually percolates through your skull is that happy is better and that's because it more accurately reflects TSB, our good-natured host and provider of all. After all, don't all religions say 'Trust in God and stop fussing'? Didn't Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, etc., specifically mandate this attitude? And didn't Bobby McFerrin have a hit record (1989) called, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"?
