The human body, as we experience it: flesh, blood, nerve endings, and all, is bound to the material world.

It decays, ages, and ultimately returns to the dust from which it came.

What transcends is not the physical body but the Ethereal body.

the essence — the soul — the spirit— consciousness.

Resurrection is a transformation into a glorified body– a heavenly body.

This is not a mere continuation of the one we now inhabit.

Paul’s writings in 1 Corinthians 15 describe a shift from a perishable, earthly body to an imperishable, spiritual form.

Whatever survives death is not the frail, tangible flesh we now experience through.

Heaven exists as a higher state of being, a realm beyond time and physical decay– a body of matter, subject to entropy, has no place there.

The material body is a vessel, not the traveler.
