Where is Nora?

So Nora is in heaven or firmament or life everlasting or pearly gates or nirvana or Zion or eternal home. You get the picture, it can be sort of confusing and overwhelming.
Some people believe in science and say our bodies cease to exist. I have several compelling arguments against that idea including Newton's first law. A body in motion stays in motion. Our bodies have energy. We are not able to define or speak clearly about this energy because many people don't clearly understand it. But if you think about conversations you have you will realize you talk about it a lot. So when you say "You are making me mad." The negative energy from the person you are dealing with is rubbing off on you. When you say "I got tingles when you said that." Even the words we say have energy and can have a powerful affect on those around us. Words have enormous power that most of us don't realize. So these energies that may be understood on one basic undefinable level are real and acting forces in the world. According to Newton's law, energies don't cease to exist. Nora's energy was undeniable. Her ferocious pursuit of life was tangible. Her energy never ceased to exist even though her broken body did, as all of ours will. Her energy lives in a realm that many have tried to define.
The realm of heaven has long been misunderstood and abused. Do this or you will go to hell. Do that and you will go to heaven. What a system of control. What about Love God and do what you will. Now that is freedom. It is the freedom Christ brought in the new testament. What does it mean though? Love God, not material possessions. Love God, not this earth. Love God, not yourself. Why? So that at point of death, your energy won't get stuck here. If your energy, your soul, your essence loves how wise your self is and you see nothing beyond yourself, your view and ability to move on is limited. If you love money, food, people, projects, nostalgia, or just stuff of the world, you will be limited. Your soul will seek to stay here with that stuff. BUT if by chance your heart's desire is raised up into things greater than yourself and your life and your stuff, your soul will be free. Detachment from worldly possessions is crucial. Not holding onto our plans, our ideas, our wealth, our success. Instead letting it all go. Continue to be smart and productive and thoughtful and caring but don't hold onto the results like they are your own or they belong to you. They don't. Let go.
So where is Nora now? Her soul her energy continues to exist. There was a little boy who's heart stopped suddenly on Halloween. He was rushed to Children's. I barely know his mother but she knew of Nora and said she felt Nora's presence with them the whole time. I did not feel Nora's presence once that whole time. Where was she? At Children's helping Gabriel live. He is now a well boy back at home and school functioning as a well boy. The doctors call him a miracle and they don't use that word unless it is. Kids whose hearts stop often have mental delays if they are able to brought back (only 3% are brought back) and he has no mental change at all. Amazing. Nora lives on everywhere. I can't wait to see her again and I know I will someday when it is my time. Meanwhile I am working on letting go so I too can be free.
