To Live or not To Live ?

Over the past several months , I've seemingly felt the ned to project the spiritual in the physical . Playing that out in my own mind , I come to an ultimate conclusion : death is an illusion. Maybe it is . Maybe it is not. So much of the musings in my soul that all the currently exploring came out to be circular at best . Nothing an be more irritating than circular logic. Why might death be an illusion? 1. Humans are created in the likeness of God. 2. God if Perfect Love. 3. That Love is housed in a temporal container we call a body. 4.We erroneously believe that our bodily existence is who we are . 5. Jesus the Christ illustrates the illusion of such in the rising of the dead and ultimately of himself. 6.The world, as it exists today, is a result of humans living in Unawareness of the reality of perfect love. 7. If perfect love brings life , then an existence in it's absence would bring death . 8. Living in awareness of perfect love , eventually , would result in NO death. Why might death be real ? Well , we would first have to discuss the defination of "real". But I do that plenty already. 1. Humans are created in the likeness of God. 2. God if Perfect Love. 3. That Love is housed in a temporal container we call a body. 4. Our temporal bodies are just that.......temporal. They are, by design, intended to deteriorate and die. 5. This realeases our spirit ( true life) to live on in all that is fully real, the spiritual realm......or Heaven, if you prefer. The Circle: If the body DOESN'T matter , why did God spend so much time healing and raising from the dead ? Why was he so focused on the care of the poor and the needy ? More importantly , why would a loving God creat a container to house his very essence (us) that would bring inherent suffering to that essence? If the body DOES matter, why do we die? Why would the spiritual realm even exist? Sooooo...... Is this physical life real or not ? What is TRUE REALITY?

Easiest thing I found...not to try to understand the "Maya"! It is sure that there is one supernatural power in a form that is beyond our imagination in one way or the other which is the cause of very existence! The great epics talk about morals that are applicable. All that we can do is try living out at least one of them fully and realize it in life for ourselves.
