Yes. I believe we are all eternal already, just changing forms. If everything IS energy and energy cannot be destroyed, then we are eternal, can never be destroyed. 🙂Oh, and we are no longer in the scope of time, ONCE we leave our present form. If there is reincarnation and we are between lives, it would be a small vacation by our view there, but could be hundreds of years by our measurement of time here...
I have some issues with this. First. Matter is condensed energy. And matter is a physical thing. Physical things stay in the physical world. You, ther person, are a physical conglomeration of matter that can easily be proken up into its individual components (most likely molecules and atoms, without a lot of added energy). Your matter is eternal, your person is not, hence decomposition. There come a point where you are no longer physically you, the entity. These theories cannot be readily appied to non-physical entities, they don't apply by defenition.
Second. By what means are you judging that spiritual time is exceedingly fast. It appears to me that this is an arbitrary judgement. It could just as easily be painfully eternal.
