Being and Essense and Body and Mind

Considering the human being's essences, man looks at what he knows through experience, knowledge and what he is born with inside his body. Although being and essences does not require a body according to what God has revealed to man, few have experienced the after life long enough to tell us much about all that the eternal life entails to be a great body of knowledge from which we can draw upon to explain the mysteries of the mind body connection that philosophers have written about from the beginning of recorded history.

In order for man to best enjoy all the good things that our Lord has provided for us, human beings have sought a way to pass on their wisdom to others, so that they may learn more about God's wonderful creation and his plan for our salvation. We know that human beings were created in the image of God and that we have a body and mind that cannot be separated in physical reality and that the soul is that which gives life to the body. The mind is an aspect of our spiritual essence that lives forever and is also called our immortal soul. Therefore our Lord taught us that we should love God with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul and all our strength. We should also love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

It is possible for everyone to obtain the reward of heaven. The knowledge of God's gifts to us is without limit. His grace endures forever and everyone can receive it. When we receive God's love, we are transformed through it. God loves everyone and yet not all are worthy of salvation that is why our Lord came to earth to save us from our sins. Human beings have the gift of free will. Everyone can love God and do his will or reject his love. Those who love God will receive sufficient grace to be able to obtain the reward of eternal life with him in heaven.

It seems that everyone wants to be happy and to enjoy living the good life, yet the only way anyone is going to obtain it is by first knowing what is good and what is evil. God has taught us what is right and what is wrong and all we have to do is to love God to enjoy the good life and receive heaven.

From the beginning, human beings have gone off in different directions to find a better place to live. They have learned how to tell their families where they wanted to live and what they wanted to do during their life.

From the desires to enjoy happiness, man has created society, community and cultures that have developed various laws, educational systems, politics, philosophies, economics, social, scientific and technological aspects of the good life. There are many other outgrowths of the human aspects of the body, mind and soul that we have learned about through education and personal experience. These are the extensions of the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of human life on earth.

In order to have a healthy body we need to ask ourselves "What do I need to do to be healthy?"

Health is concerned with the total human being and a person's environment. That is why we have all those aspects of the human experience to help us become healthy, holy and wise!
