Even if someone could revive a dead animal at a distance then bilocate to live in that revived body it would add neither joy or meaning to life. "These activities represent the skills of beings with some ability to command energy, a capability that exists in the 5th stage of life, for those who care to learn." 30 minutes ago I turned on the stove to the 5th stage and poached eggs. I know nothing about the mysterious process that produces heat through the conduits that flow through the mysterious pieces of steel yet by faith I accept them. I have been told by my spirit counselor I can learn more by a course called "fix-it" at the community college."I presume, if you are serious about Jesus, that you would have liked to meet him during his time in this physical world." No, not really, and Jesus knew it was impossible to because he said, "Blessed are those who have seen and believed more blessed are those who have not seen and yet still believe." I heard a very wise Indian woman say that good food, water, sleep and a lover are all that really matter in our human existence and I see no argument away from that. "Adi Da is not Jesus, but is a being of a similar Dimension, but living in this world at this time. I choose to take advantage of that opportunity, but I am not saying that you should." We're all in the same boat together and remember if you come across some bleached bones in the sun that it won't matter if the former owner was at the 1st or 5th stage of spiritual realization because he is now dead.
