The Book of Life

Consider the optical illusion where we could spot a figure or a vase depending on what we are looking at. In other words we choose to see what we want to see. (see note)
Can there be an island without the sea or a doughnut without the hole in the middle? We may be talking about the island but sea is ever in the background as a reality. Man has a body to which spirit is conjugated. Our physical reality has its counterpart in spirit world and so on. Soul is that aspect which is common to both worlds. On the pinions of soul suppose we could reverse our shapes as in the face-vase illustration mentioned above.
2.
Hereafter denotes the period in which we have spiritual bodies reverse with physical realities here and now. What we experienced in the body in such a case remains in terms of energy or any other mode that is clear as day. As though written down in a book. The book of life which is mentioned in Revelation 20:15
The light of the body is eye… if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness”(Mt.6:22-23)The eye here would stand for the soul of man.
Note:‘To make sense of the world it is necessary to organize incoming sensations into information which is meaningful. Gestalt psychologists believe one way this is done is by perceiving individual sensory stimuli as a meaningful whole. Gestalt organization can be used to explain many illusions including the Duck-Rabbit illusion where the image as a whole switches back and forth from being a duck then being a rabbit and why in the figure-ground illusion the figure and ground are reversible’(wikipedia).
