What Is Your Soul Worth?

 

 

 

 

We know the value of our stuff, it is called assets. If it is valuable stuff, we get it insured. Cars, houses, clothes, expensive jewelry; these we know the worth of. So we can replace them, if need be.

We know the value of our life. Insurance companies sell us insurance for it. Not to keep our lives, but to live on it after we retire or it allows our families to pay for our burial. If you can get life insurance, that only tells you the value of your life to that insurance carrier.

Where love lives in your life, you are valuable as an asset to the family. Son, daughter; brother, sister; father, mother; husband, wife; grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins; in-laws. Your relationship within your family circle, depending on the strength of that circle, determines your value in the family in which you live. Sometimes circles appear elongated because we add our friends to our family because we get closer to them than we do the family into which we were placed or born.

But what about your soul? How do you place a value on your soul (mind/intellect/decision-maker, will, emotions)? How do we place a value on something we cannot see? That which we cannot see many tend to believe does not exist. What is not visible to the naked eye is presumed either too small or too large and requires technology to see it, if one believes that that which cannot be seen is really there. For example, the human cell needs to be seen with a microscope, while the stars and even the planets within our own solar system need to be seen with a telescope. Up close and personal stars do not twinkle.

Not everyone believes in the existence of GOD. Because they cannot see Him, with or without technological devices, they believe in the non-existence of GOD. (Side-note here: there is no such thing as a god-particle. God's creations are everywhere, but the created is not the Creator) Therefore, if God does not exist, how can the soul exist? Since there is no God in their life, there is no aspect of life after death either: no hell, no heaven; only this life. They have no hope. To me that is the worst life, regardless of how much money they have or how famous/popular they are. Therefore, after death the soul does not go anywhere, because there is nothing out there.

Some believe there is more than one god and that these gods control their destiny, leaving the souls to wander the earth if they are not received into the afterlife. Some believe killing people here guarantees them eternal gratitude from their god. Some believe their soul lives on in other people if a baby is born when a loved one dies. Some believe hell is a metaphor for where the wicked go when they die; that good people get into heaven. All of these beliefs, and many more, exist because the people who created these religions did not want to obey GOD. This does not exclude them from God's judgment; unless they repent, though, it will exclude them from God's eternal presence. Because they all have souls.

What you believe in this life determines where you will go after this life is ended.
