Thermodynamics and Heaven

First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. (http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/biobookener1.html

Human beings, like all forms of matter, are more empty space and energy than tangible substance. We seem to know this instinctively; we are drawn to certain people because of their positive or warm energy and turn away from others whose energy feels difficult or dangerous. With the arrival of new scientific truths we also learn that many of our body functions run on electrical energy: the heart and stomach and brain send electrical messages to and fro and without stimulation may stop functioning. Blockages and constraints to our energy (or qi or chi) can cause illness or emotional or spiritual turbulence.

When I was very ill, my chi was certainly blocked and my intuition faltered. On a few dark days when the medical professionals did not know how to help me and no medication worked as intended, I contemplated death. Medically I was nowhere close to that point, but emotionally and spiritually it seemed a good subject to prepare. One tough night I prayed hard for help, and I felt strongly that help would come either in this life or the next. I woke up convinced beyond doubt that there is a friendly force at work in the world and that we go into a loving energy when we die.

After all,  the energy that exists in our bodies cannot be destroyed. That fact exists in science and in many, if not all, religions. Electrical currents do not disappear, they must go to ground or travel in a circuit. The electricity and energy that compose our essence must similarly travel somewhere in the universe; whether to heaven or to the Earth or to a different plane none can say for sure. But have confidence that it will be safe and loving, for "All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” (Julian of Norwich).
