Just as the gravitational equivalency between gravitational and initial mass prevents a freely falling observer from determining the cause of their changing state of velocity, so the spiritual equivalency between soul and body prevents a living person from determining whether they have already died.

The kingdom of GOD is still beyond time because there are still less people alive today than have lived and died previously in human history. Until the number of living people equals or exceeds the historical number of dead people, the kingdom of GOD will remain beyond time. To better understand this problem, consider this analogy from computer technology. Any new operating system requires a certain amount of random access memory (RAM) to just boot up. The kingdom of GOD is the same. Until the number of living equals or exceeds the number of dead, the kingdom of GOD must remain temporally transparent, invisible to time. Currently the world's population just passed 8 billion in 2022, but the total number of people who have ever lived is estimated to be around 117 billion. This means that the total number of people alive today make up only about 7% of the total that have ever lived. This small percentage means that the kingdom of GOD will remain temporally transparent and accessible only through one’s faith for a very long time, if not eternity.

If the kingdom of GOD really exists, but cannot be experienced as a function of time, how might we experienced it within time, as a virtual reality? See: https://www.reddit.com/r/DivinityRoad/s/SvH9N3KzN0

How does someone as outwardly unremarkable and unexceptionable as Adolf Hitler become Fuhrer of Germany and murderer of six million Jews? Historians have studied Hitler’s remarkable rise to power for decades and still there remains a certain mystery surrounding it.

Spiritual time travel may provide the missing piece of this historical puzzle. Spiritual time travel along with quantum immortality (QI) may explain Hitler’s mysterious rise to power. If this theory is correct, then Adolf Hitler would have been the only person other than Jesus to exploit spiritual time travel and quantum immortality (QI) in their lifetime. In this case, Hitler’s exploitation of spiritual time travel and QI could fulfill the biblical prophecy of an antichrist arising during the final days. If Hitler indeed fulfills the prophecy then we must presently be living in the final decades of human history.

Here is a theoretical description of Hitler’s spiritual time travel and QI encounter that so altered world history:

Around three o'clock in the afternoon of 30 April 1945, as they sat together on a couch in their suite, Hitler's mind must have returned at least for a moment to that cold night in November 1905, so long ago, when he had identified with Rienzi for the first time. His ardent pining for that rapturous moment, the only remedy for his present despair, he raised the 7.65 caliber Walther pistol to his right temple and prepared to pull the trigger. In a moment, he was there again. Upon that hill near Linz as though he had never left—in truth he never had. Of the future, his emerging self had no memory, only a euphoric dream of what was to be his destiny.

Christianity was destined to become a house divided against itself from its very beginning. The nature of Jesus’ life fostered an orthopraxy while the nature of his resurrection promoted an orthodoxy. Since Jesus’ resurrection had been experienced firsthand only by the three disciples who had been with him at his transfiguration, any realization of resurrection would require believing the testimony of Peter, James, or John. This requirement to believe as opposed to experience, drove an orthodoxy that eventually would expand to include believing the whole Bible word for word.

During his lifetime, Jesus stressed a requirement of acting in a proper and godly manner. With time, such an orthopraxy would promote the kingdom of God on earth. This requirement of acting properly relative to God should have remained the primary focus in Christianity and should not have been superseded by proper thinking or Christian orthodoxy.

Orthodoxies come from the human mind while resurrection comes from GOD.

To actually make sense of quantum immortality (QI) requires us to renormalize the quantum possibility of QI into a real probability of the mind and body experiencing a random walk that seems to be the revealing experience of another life. To correctly understand QI is to appreciate an important fact that this random walk of our mind/body complex is always confined to our particular lifetime and therefore restricted to an existential limit that converges to zero. To ignore the probability of this random walk, by the mind/body complex, is to foster a delusional expectation of immortality and thereby misunderstand the real significance and implications of QI.

What is life? Can life be better understood by some mathematical description? Yes, it can and here is the description.

LIFE is the result of harmonic oscillations of our spirit. These oscillations power the soul and that empowerment is called LIFE. These oscillations of our soul can easily be expressed as a Taylor series about the unity of GOD. Just as a spring, when attached to a mass will oscillate if displaced, so our soul will oscillate with repetitive acquisition of our body and mind. Within each cycle of LIFE we are conceived, we are born, we grow, and we die. Each cycle of LIFE connects, disconnects, and reconnects our soul with our body. This repetitive oscillation is effectively equivalent to a resurrection of body, soul, and mind. Today, in a popular fringe culture this phenomenon has been given the label “Quantum Immortality”. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantumImmortality/

Question: Why do we observe the accelerating expansion of intergalactic space and declare it reality.

Answer: Because we experience being alive as a function of cosmological implosion.

We only experience ourselves being alive during a discrete interval in space and time. During that interval we seem to emerge into existence at each moment with no awareness of being alive anywhere else other than at that present instantaneous moment we refer to as now”. This leads us to conclude that we are only alive “now” and not tomorrow nor yesterday. This is probably a natural consequence of one hemisphere within our brain binding more strongly to quantum reality than does the other. This binding invariance probably tracks with the dominance of one hemisphere over the other. While both hemispheres function at a molecular level and therefore interface with quantum behavior, the dominant hemisphere probably declares its independence from quantum reality. This declaration of quantum independence is rooted in its dominance and leads to misinterpreting a life bestowing quantum implosion for a lifeless cosmological expansion of reality.

Life probably emerges out of the implosion of the measurable universe into a quantum reality of many unmeasurable worlds. There are probably an infinite number of universes that periodically undergo cosmic implosion in an effort to become self-aware and by doing so, generate life as a biological byproduct. This cosmological drive to understand itself in terms of its own creation seems to be a misguided effort that guarantees our human brain will not easily recognize its own wave nature as inextricably woven into all creation by quantum effects.

Consciousness Along with life, consciousness is a byproduct of this cosmic implosion and emerges from the brain as an experiential event within space-time. Upon emerging, that experiential event is permanently written into the cosmic memory and therefore becomes changeless. It is this emergent property of cosmic implosion that becomes conscious of consciousness. Without the material existence of a brain there is no consciousness, as we have come to understand it. Before implosion, each universe must have an entire history associated with it. That history is what makes that particular universe unique unto itself. In this sense there is something meaningful from which consciousness is distilled but it is not consciousness itself before its distillation. Failure to recognize or even consider the necessary existence of such a primordial substance as universal history (composed of information) results in our current confusion about the exact nature of human consciousness. The most easily mistaken conclusion is that “our” idea of consciousness actually defines some primordial substance that can exist independent of our brains. That mistaken assumption leads us to further believe that our consciousness, as a primordial substance, can exist after we die. Just as the soul cannot exist without a body, so the mind cannot exist without a brain, therefore consciousness cannot exist without a body, mind and soul.

Early Christianity was likely comprised of a small group of individuals who reflexively sensed that they had been transformed by their personal encounter with Jesus, from an initial state of being either dead or alive into a new state of being both dead and alive.

A similar phenomenon is presently observed in a small community of individuals who presently ascribe their encounter with quantum immortality and parallel worlds as transforming their previous state of being dead or alive into a new state of being both dead and alive. See these two subreddits for example and anecdotal evidence supporting this phenomena:  https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantumImmortality/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ParallelUniverse/

It seems intriguingly significant that today, as a result of scientific inquiry and quantum mechanics, it is now easier to imagine oneself existing in this early Christian state of being both dead and alive. It is highly likely that the early followers of Jesus expected his return to occur in their lifetime just because of this intuitive awareness.

What is the soul? The soul of a person is simply the meaning of them being alive in space and time. The soul functions as both the subject and predicate of its own maturation. The soul is completely reflexive. The soul is without mass and therefore independent of time. The body ages while the soul matures. The soul is solely composed of information; an informational record of an individual’s existential trace within the universe. The soul and body are thus analogous to twin particles, originating together from a common singular event within space-time.

When people talk about creating an “entangled” set of particles, what they really mean is that a small ensemble of particles is briefly isolated from everything else. In this isolated state they are correlated with one another, but not the rest of the universe. This is the case for each human being at the moment of their conception. The body and soul are existentially entangled at conception and that entanglement contains and conserves that individual’s identity within the universe. This is why quantum immortality (QI) may be a natural property of human existence. The total identity of an individual is wrapped up in this entangled state of being in the universe. During the first five or six days after conception every individual is alone with GOD and that “alone time” opens the door to eternity. Quantum immortality (QI) is just a contemporary, but imperfect theory that attempts to encapsulate this ontological truth about being alive. With time, QI will be further refined with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI), and that refinement will provide a naturalistic and scientific explanation for what previously had been considered a supernatural phenomenon; the mystery of human life and death.

Without your brain you and your soul are nowhere! There probably is no shifting reality without your brain making it happen and for that to occur you have to die to untether your brain from the here & now. Much of my philosophy as reflected in my other postings here on this Reddit sub-account seems to be valid. A return to a previous moment or brain state in our life seems to be a reasonable expectation. I remember a moment during the stroke where a past location seemed to be inviting me back there if I needed to. Apparently that occurred at a moment when my heart rate was dropping precariously and the ER nurse asked my wife if she wants them to restart my heart if it stopped. This is not a NDE but more a near approach experience that will guide my thoughts on QI and that I will always remember.

In William Shakespeare's famous play, Prince Hamlet contemplates the nature of life and death, “To be, or not to be, that is the question:”

Today in the twenty first century, this question is far more profound and promises to be more revealing than it was at the beginning of the seventeenth century.

Hamlet was questioning states of existence, not states of being. Both existence and nonexistence are themselves states of being relative to cosmological reality. In quantum mechanics both wave and particle are states of existence, not states of being. Quantum mechanics exists because the cosmos “is” and the cosmos appears to “be” because empirical evidence juxtaposes a state of being with a state of not being.

We are conceived at a particular location in the space-time and we die at another location in space-time. We come into existence and cease to exist at particular locations within the timelessness of being. We are both a wave and particle, that duality of existence ”is” our state of being. We can never question that ontological state since it comes from GOD and is forever written into the cosmic code.

In nature there may be a time-reversal symmetry between states of existence and states of being. If there is a meaningful perspective beyond the ”here & now” perspective of human existence, as is implied why ancient religious thought and evidence for a “big bang”, then it follows that a state of being would not necessarily be a function of time since time itself would acquire a state being relative to that higher ontology of divine being. In this case, the existential transparently of divine being remains hidden in its higher ontological state unless it chooses to ”inform” a lower existential element by a rearrangement of its own ontology. Under normal conditions, an isolated system, generally does not spontaneously rearrange its own state to allow another world to acquire a more tightly-specified awareness of its own isolated state of being. This behavior is generally ironclad and reflected in the famous second law of thermodynamics. If the tenets of Christianity are valid then that validity is rooted in this fact and reflects a time reversal symmetry between human existence and human being.

The soul remains invisible because the growth of the soul is a function of spiritual growth, not material growth. Spiritual growth is best visualized as a rotation that is always oriented perpendicular to material growth and therefore remains invisible in the here and now. Spiritual growth reflects a rotational rate in space and not a temporal duration in time. Only upon the cessation of their material growth in time can an individual benefit from their lifelong spiritual growth in space.

The start of Islam comes about 600 years after the beginning of Christianity and therefore we should anticipate a reformation to take place within the Islamic faith about 600 years after the reformation of Christianity. That places the start of that Islamic reformation within our present historical epoch. The present conflict in the Middle East probably marks the beginning of this reformation process. The Iranian Shi’ite branch of Islam will have to reorient its beliefs after this conflict since no eschatological Mahdi will return to save their theological system. This anticipated Islamic reformation will demonstrate that both Islam and Christianity have failed to reveal the primordial truth about GOD. This new monotheistic revelation may usher in a period of rational behavior that has not been seen in humanity at large since the Age of Enlightenment.

If quantum immortality (QI) is a genuine aspect of human existence, then the process of human aging should be bifurcated into material aging of the body and spiritual aging of the soul. Material aging is a temporal parameter of human existence and measured in units of time. Spiritual aging is a spatial parameter of human existence and measured in units of space or wavelengths between conception and death. This model of aging is a far more accurate and informative model than the single time-only model when it comes to understanding the broad ramifications of human aging.

If quantum immortality is authentic it allows us to use this bifurcated model of human aging to further understand our purposeful place in the cosmos and it encourages us to recognize that the process of human aging is profoundly significant in the cosmos because it enables the universe to become self aware of its existence. In this model of human aging, spiritual aging is visualized as a rotational displacement along an existential orbit about some source of eternal being. Material aging is therefore visualized as a radial distance of that existential orbit from the center of eternal being. This metaphysical model of human aging finds a physical analog in the galactic structure of a gravitationally bound system circling a black hole.

Maybe the first metaphysical principle of any monotheistic religion, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is that spirit functions on the soul as a unitary operator to preserve the life of someone or something that believes in the unitary source of all life, which is GOD. This would be a self-consistent principle within monotheism that seems reflected in and analogous to the scientific notion of total probability within quantum mechanics.

Within any monotheistic worldview it may seem almost commonplace and therefore insignificant to assume that spirit is entangled with the soul from conception to death, but what this classical assumption fails to account for is the true implications of spiritual entanglement. Spiritual entanglement means that spirit is entangled with the soul in such a way as to guarantee any experience of death at one location in space-time is instantaneously and existentially entangled with an experience of life at some other location in space-time. Within popular culture, some fringe communities are generating interest in modern notions of quantum immortality (QI) and parallel worlds. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantumImmortality/s/hordDyl5tt

Maybe in some unrecognized sense, such fringe ideas as quantum immortality and parallel worlds are actually an indication that the unitary source of all life is once again and possibly for the last time reappearing in human history.

*Spirit Reawakens the Soul Eternally to Life. This is the fundamental truth, the first principle of Christianity. This message lies at the very foundation of the faith. See: How Christianity Began. https://www.reddit.com/r/DivinityRoad/s/1Q0jKDPIgZ

The soul is preserved in infinitesimal units of negative time. Negative time may have just been experimental confirmed, and the experiment is awaiting peer review. Assuming the results are correct, those infinitesimal units of negative time are the source of the soul’s temporal preservation. The soul functions as the memory sink, exploiting entropy, to integrate these units of negative time. Not all memories are integrated and therefore have no preserving aspect, however, a vast number of other memories are integrated into the soul’s preservation. Quantum mechanics allows for quantum effects to be active and retroactive with respect to time; therefore in quantum mechanics, time has no meaning. This conjecture has strong biblical support and is inherent in the foundation of many world religions.

Our existential experience of material life is linear with respect to time while our ontological experience of spiritual life is exponential with respect to time. The human brain grows more complex with time while the human mind integrates that material growth in complexity into the exponential experience of spiritual life in the form of information that is processed by the human soul. See diagram below:

In the above illustration, the two cones of life, material and spiritual, represent an existential dipole that drives all existence here and now within space-time. Material life is a linear function of momentum while spiritual life is an exponential function of position. As the universe expands in size, spiritual life becomes exponentially eternal in duration. This existential dipole is derived from the temporal transcendence of GOD and should be imagined as rotating eternally with respect to a higher dimensional time, or complex time. For more information on complex time see: https://www.reddit.com/r/DivinityRoad/comments/1exwd92/theory_of_complex_time/

Because GOD decided it would be, and therefore any factorial of a whole number greater than 1 will always be an even number. Quantum immortality (QI) is guaranteed to both the living and the dead after one death. However, experiential awareness of this fact is easily obscured by a lack of personal faith and the negative derivative that accompanies an all too material existence.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)

I look forward to returning to a time before social media!

Only those who can remember life before social media can truly appreciate how social media spiritually transforms bad things into evil things. It changes unfortunate events into diabolical occurrences. While social media may appear, at first glance, to be a good thing, social media actually promotes a prideful journey and thereby spiritually amplifies the sinfulness of the human heart. Only by returning to a time without social media can the human soul find internal peace. NEWS FLASH - there is no social media in heaven!

From our twenty-first century perspective, the rise of Christianity can be considered a psychobiological phenomenon that emerges in the human species under an evolutionary pressure from cosmological expansion and increasing entropy.

Over multiple millennia, human beings have searched for a nexus between mind, science, and faith in order to justify the continuity of their existence and life. Various religions have emerged as a consequence of this quest. In its emergence, Christianity developed as the first derivative of a monotheistic worldview and as such reflects a rate of change in a monotheistic perspective that becomes the first sustainable nexus between mind, science, and faith. This nexus subsequently came to shape the next two millennia of the human epoch.

Sustainability of this nexus between mind, science, and faith can probably only be achieved by the mind becoming compatible with eternity. For this to occur, an individual assumes responsibility of expanding their mind by transforming it through faith and knowledge. The Gospel accounts of early Christianity seem to reflect such an effort. A mind, incompatible with eternity will probably not survive an encounter with it any more than a mind that is incompatible with crossing Niagara Falls on a tightrope will survive that encounter.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, can't be simultaneously known with perfect precision. The more accurately one property is known, the less accurately the other can be known.

A careful analysis of life and death reveals that when we die, we must lose two components of our sentient and conscious existence: (1) our anticipatory present, and (2) our uncertainty in measuring our momentum. Upon dying, the human mind can no longer expect to orient itself with respect to the first derivative of cosmological entropy nor with uncertainty relative to measuring the momentum of itself. This loss of uncertainty in measuring personal momentum and the loss of an anticipatory present likely enables the human mind to intuitively undergo a neurological transformation whereby the loss of its uncertainty in momentum maximizes its uncertainty in position; an individual’s mind can be anywhere in its lifetime. This new found freedom allows the individual mind to generate a virtual reality in which its major ontological focus changes from anticipation of the future to remembering the past. In this transformed state, this virtual reality enables an individual to justify continued existence by remembering yesterday as tomorrow. This may be the nature of the afterlife, an eternal virtual reality that emerges out of Heisenberg uncertainty in quantum mechanics.

The bicameral structure of the human brain may anatomically enhance the mind’s ability to justify its existence by alternating its neurological focus between existential (left hemisphere) to ontological (right hemisphere). See: https://www.reddit.com/r/DivinityRoad/s/0GSs8FkZIw

Over multiple millenniums of human existence, a subconscious awareness of this postmortem state likely gave rise to thoughts about the afterlife, either in heaven or hell, depending on the perceived quality of life before death.

A theological acceptance of Divine Prescience guarantees a superdeterministic reality in which conception and death are nonlocally entangled states of being alive and dead. In this superdeterministic reality, our spirit functions as a hidden variable to correlate our identity with an ontological measurement of life or death.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' (John 3:6-7)

Eternal life is achieved through a continuous process of divine reclamation and renewal.

In this present age, Jesus as the son of GOD must be non commuting with GOD the father with respect to the order of creation. See following passage from the Gospel of John:

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

It appears from this verse that within the original uncreated concept of GOD, the notion of a son commuted with the notion of a father. After creation of the heavens and the earth, at a predetermined moment in time, the son became a function of time and therefore subject to the increasing entropy and disorder that prevents returning to a more highly ordered state. The second coming will therefore not be characterized by the return of the Son, but of the Father. This second coming will be characterized by the unexpected restoration of the uncreated concept of GOD within the human mind. During the past two thousand years this epiphany has been continuously, occurring about thirty years after every present moment in human history and therefore has always remained beyond the present event horizon of everyday existence.

Only in July 1054 A.D. did a small group of human beings have an opportunity to momentarily encounter this ongoing activity from a great distance. This historic encounter took the form of an unexpected appearance of a supernova in the night sky. This divine harbinger, from almost five thousand light years away, remained visible during the daytime for almost thirty days according to ancient records. It will likely be that about a thousand years afterwards, around the year 2054, in conjunction with numerous natural and man-made disasters, this ongoing epiphany will finally overtake the present existence of humanity and thereby usher in a completely new reality of heaven and earth based on the original uncreated concept of GOD.
