Know any good bearAcrat jokes? You should have seen the ones back in Rome or anicent Egypt, life is a ultimately a flow of resources & energy, a continuum always and always relates to our body. There is the civic body... Rome, Greece, or every early civilization as cities & populations grew. The need for sanitation, roads, fortification plans, storage, distribution nodes/market places and a body'assembly for rule, heads-of-state. All a mirror of our own organ assembly & needs of the body, why else would that metaphor be one of the highest & most commonly used in every religion? The Body of Christ or the Assemblys of God, then you have the Buddhist Sangha which also literally means assembly/community /body of the brother & sisterhood monks and not a chance in this world that a rabbi from Galiea came before Buddha, but you can keep dreaming if you like.

This is one of the chief features of the early Christian religion for the first 300yrs was the attention to the burial of the body in those extensive secret Roman catacombs & later above ground in consecrated cemetaries. Christianity is all about the body, something that you take for granted but have to keep reminding you? The part about a second coming & bodily resurrection of the faithful is a nice fantasy but no cigar, pure idealism, a mental construct of that human milieu we call Christianity, but the greater reality is so simple & far more poignant than this obvious primitive control mechanism. This imagery of having your own planet as in Mormonism, the virgins of Islam, Christianity bodily eternal life, well you can see this is a hard fantasy for people to let go of, look at the rewards? (And look at the control it offers the leaders/heads of the body too?) Did i say primitive? Yes it was something that the common man had been hoping for since the first Pharoahs 3,500yrs before, why couldn't he be considered worthy to be judged & enter those heavenly realms...because life then without medicine, droughts, floods & disease often really sucked. (life was very hard for the common man, think of people that live by the Mississippi? ) "Christianity" was 1000's of years in the emergence, you could see that one coming a mile away. Those early Christians were the lower classes & slaves, dreaming a little dream the common man had been secretly harboring for all those millenia.

Its not that Texas didn't have their own flower children too, they gave us Lady Bird Johnson, she was a beauty and classy well educated gal in everyway. We have a redwood grove out here dedicated to her memory, where we live as immortals, btw. Why we are all so attracted to a field of bluebells, why we stand in awe & reflect at the base of a 1500-5000yr old tree, nothing spirit/magic about, what is real majesty is right there in front of you, a unique "body" is all that you need to know. No waiting for the afterlife is necessary, that future is not anyone's in reality. Thats why those cave painters 15,000yrs ago took such loving pains to draw those animal's bodies, designer or no designer, this is all we got, but we got alot to love as is, just look at the immense variety of natural beauty of forms? To the very small to large, including that fossil record, all simlarly functioning, you have a mouth to eat, stomach, teeth to bite & chew, lungs to breath, blood to carry oxygen, senses, and a whole lot more as we've discovered with more refined immune systems & 75,000miles of nervous system. (thats three times around the earth's equator, if you took every nerve fibre of your body & laid it end to end)
