[QUOTE="rockytopva, post: 71639247, member: 279443"] If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that... Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2) And there are three varieties... Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma Mental E/c2 - Mentally, A mathematical formula, but this has chemical and spiritual properties as well. Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy) I was brought up in the military and drug from town to town. The kids in these towns were very mean. As a stranger I was relentlessly picked on for being different. My parents would drop me off in Virginia where my grandparents owned a small farm. The farm animals were very kind. I would get to know them and would play with them. There were also the sounds of katy-dids, chickens, roosters, and of loving human fellowship. I hated to leave. At the Merrimac Pentecostal Holiness church the people would have altar services that would sometimes go in the wee hours of the morning. The old gentlemen would sit back in their pews and weep. And if they looked back to catch the amazed look in my eye they would point to all the souls laid out at the altar and weep, "The Holy Ghost! The Holy Ghost!" With the mass and the energy there is life.... Mass - Our body can come to life Intellect - Our mind can come to life Spirit - Our spirit man can come to life I fell in with the Pentecostal Holiness church not because of the tongues, but because of the people, which were the finest I have ever met in my entire life. Pictured below is Dallas Linkous JR, which is probably the 'shoutingest' man I have ever met in my entire life. As a teenager I would put up hay with him and go with him to the revivals at night. Both him and his wife were tongue talking, shouting, happy type Pentecostals. The joy was there equally there at home as well as at work.

I remember well as a young man Dallas coming behind me to pray with me at the alter, with tears running down his cheek and onto my neck.
