Only The Soul Can Become Immortal.
Our soul is the only part of us that can become immortal. The spirit body that we take to the spirit world with us when we pass over is a covering for the soul and is subject to change over time.
Like our material mind, the mind of our spirit body becomes redundant at the point we become fully divine, which is when our immortal soul mind is fully formed. Until then, the spirit mind will continue to exist. Over time, the spirit mind will become purified but unless the soul changes from the image of God to being divine then we will never become a divine angel and can progress no further than perfecting the natural love that we were born with.
Beyond the first few planes of the celestial kingdom, showing ourselves in the likeness of our old human form is no longer considered necessary, as we will have developed other ways of perceiving the identity of others by then. Nor does the environmental background stay fixed in these higher celestial realms – it changes to reflect the emotions of the inhabitants, something we would find extremely disconcerting in our current state.
Beyond these bare details, celestial beings cannot find words that we would understand to describe the wonderful environment that they inhabit.
Human beings look for meaning in many different mindful ideas. Few realise that divine love is the mystery of all mysteries that enables the soul to experience and know divine reality, including itself, God and all of creation. Focusing on developing our souls rather than our minds is what will lead us to immortality and a blissful future beyond our time on earth.
