Larger than life: Denzil finds space for self-understanding
‘I found I was freed from the past by understanding my thought processes.’
I can’t say I’ve had much of a life when for the last forty years I have been in prison. I suppose that, like most people, I hoped I would have a nice life, with family and friends. But, not understanding myself, I made too many mistakes and also put myself down too much.
The older I got, I started to put the pieces together, meeting the right people, reading the right books, feeling better. I found I was capable of seeing the truth and this has changed my life. I found I was freed from the past by understanding my thought processes.
Have you ever tried to find out who you are? Are you your thoughts, or your actions? Could it be what you believe, or is it something else? The Bible says if we want life, we first need to lose it. But what does that mean? For me, it meant I had to give up everything, everything I knew, everything I believed, everything I have ever thought. If you do this, you’re left with nothing – nothing is what we are, because we can’t be seen. We are like the space that is all around us, without form, and yet at the same time we are everything and everywhere.
People have often asked the question ‘Where do we go after death?’ Well, the simple answer is we don’t know. But what we see is another matter. Take matter itself, physical substance, like our bodies. After death it all gets returned to the earth, and what we call our spirit/soul returns to ‘space’. The Bible tells us that God made us from the earth and then breathed the breath of life into us. He also said we would return back to where we had come from. We have all heard the stories. God is with us, God is everywhere, God is in us.
Well, I don’t know about you but the only thing I see that comes close to what God is, is space. Space is everywhere, in our bodies, our lungs, heart and blood cells, it’s everywhere.
We can’t see anything in ‘space’. We can’t see anything between two planets or two people. All we see is a space, and yet we know that in this space we have radio waves, frequencies for all sorts of activities, people talking on phones, using the internet, watching television – the list just keeps going. Everything that is in the world is also in space, because everything has its own frequency.
So where do we go after death?
Thought for the Day: ‘If God was the internet, he could Zoom us and bring us all together’.
