just a thought...

Friend: i was reading socrates and stumbled upon this thought it was interesting cause of our converstation. "But I think that if the soul is POLLUTED and impure when it leaves the body, having always been associated with it and served it, bewitched by physical desires and pleasures to the point at which nothing seems to exist for it but the physical, which one can touch and see or eat and drink or make use for sexual enjoyment, and if that soul is accustomed to hate and fear and avoid that which is dim and invisible to the eyes soul will escape PURE and by itself?" Impossible he said....through it, such a SOUL becomes HEAVY and dragged BACK."i guess when you say your in a rut makes me think that my soul feels heavy and dragged back. Don't know just a thought

Friend: Not that i believe physical pleasures are bad, I believe god gave them to us for our pleasure, but the reminder that we are destined for more and I don't want my seeking of pleasures to destroy my soul

Me: profound thought. it's like that saying 'what we do in this life echos in eternity.' i know there is something similar in the bible, not sure where it is. souls are never destroyed so even if we end up in a better place, we're taking everything we put into them with us....scary thought.

Yes indeed.
