The Earth Is A Womb

You Only Live for 100 or so Years Here If You Are Lucky Health Care Reform Or Not.

In tomorrow's reading in all Catholic churches in the entire world there is a passage concerning the "bread of life" which states as quoted by Jesus' beloved and close apostle and disciple John "Whoever eats of this bread will live forever" John 6: 51.

John was/is Jewish. Jesus was/is Jewish. So if you are Jewish, pay attention.

What does he mean.

Every human life will dwell on the earth for more or less 100 years.....some meet disaster and destruction without their choice earlier, some make wise choices and live beyond 100.
100 is a good target if you are lucky and your money holds out. {My father used to joke, 'I'm getting so old I have all new used parts.' and a wise Bishop Boland once quipped 'I hope to leave a biopsied piece of me in every clinic so there is a relic of me in every state'}

So what is this saying about "whoever eats of this bread will live forever"

Adam and Eve were created to live forever eternally. Sin caused them to crash into the current dimension of finite humanity. Humanity is finite on earth. But the soul can be redeemed to live forever. It can be redeemed. How? One Way Only; Through Jesus.

There is an eternal umbilical cord that one can tie oneself to --by choice. Now you know- it's your choice.

You may not have had a choice coming to earth- you may not have asked to be sent or may have have asked to be sent (that's between you and headquarters). But once you landed in a womb you didn't have a choice to grow here. It was not your choice, so long as you were attached to an umbilical chord to grow in a womb. You just grew-by design of your DNA. You didn't say- please grow me an arm now, please grow me a leg, now please grow me a brain. et voila! You didn't place your order.
God had that programmed. You grew once you were attached to the nutrients of an umbilical chord in a womb.

But when you got here- everything was and is a choice. You have a choice to eat as a toddler what your mother tells you is good for you. You have a choice to obey or not what your parents tell you is good for you. You have a choice to do your homework, to go to college or not, to go to grad school or get a job, to excel or slack off, to save or spend, to buy a car or not, a house or not, have sex or not, have kids or not, marry or not, to run for office or not, etc.

You are a conscious human being by design. You are designed to make informed choices.

The earth is the womb for eternity. You are here for about 100 or so years if you are lucky.
(odds are better if you don't smoke, don't drink to excess, exercise and don't abuse your body....all things within YOUR CHOICE)

God gives you "free will." That's because what fun would it be to create people and demand that they love you. God didn't create robots to parrot "I love you god" like glassy eyed moonies or kool-aid drinkers. That would not be anything authentic or worth creating.

He creates people with the choice to love him or not- I'm here, do you really love me or not. So prove it.

If you do really love him, you listen to him. Here is what he says. "I am the bread of life, he who comes to me will never hunger." Here is what he also told his most beloved disciple/apostle:

"Whoever eats of this bread will live forever" He is either kidding or a liar or not. That's what he said. Deal with it. Figure out what it really means.

This is how he broke the curse of the fall of Adam and Eve from their garden sin which threw them from bucolic eternal bliss into human time and space exile.

Man was created to live forever in soul/spirit- some religions like Indian Seiks believe man is made of fire, water, salt, earth, spirit and does live forever in some form.

But God made it man's choice whether to carry on into eternity ---in a place with and near him.

You can strap and snap yourself into the umbilical chord of eternal life like a child first learning to snap himself into his car seat. You can hook yourself up to your umbilical chord.

You can hook yourself up to the eternal fountain of youth- the eternal life forever fountain where there is no more crying, no more pain.
You can do this simply by understanding that God himself transformed himself into your food, the food that transports you through the umbillical chord of eternal life into eternity.

Would you ever in a million years believe if I told you that pizza and ice cream that your mother ate while she was pregnant with you transformed into substances and chemical compositions in her blood that somehow transmitted necessary life giving nutrients that flowed through an umbilical chord to reach you when you lived in her womb as invitro embryo to sustain your life unto birth after nine months into this creation? Pizza and Ice Cream became food for your life for 100 years on earth. Pizza and Ice Cream. OK. Gelatto for you Paysano.

What is the Pizza and Ice Cream of Eternal Life? The Body and Blood of Christ.

Better than the manna from heaven in the desert on Moses' trek- Jesus in the Eucharist is his very present help in time of need. It is himself. Here for you, under the illusion of just a crackerish wafer made from stuff on earth, and composed, transformed truly into the umbilical life giving sustenance into eternal life.

You can now live 100 plus forever.

If only you figure out that all you have to do is strap and snap yourself into your car seat which is your umbillical chord to eternal life hereafter.

WHOEVER EATS OF THIS BREAD WILL LIVE FOREVER.

His words, not mine. You can quote him on it. Better yet, check out what a "Eucharist" means.

Pizza and Ice Cream got you 100 years. Jesus' body and blood gets you eternity.
