In the hustle of everyday life, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush, focusing on the daily grind and immediate responsibilities. We chase success, wealth, and personal achievements, often forgetting to reflect on the bigger picture of existence. But deep down, there’s a question that lingers in the back of our minds: What is the deeper purpose behind life and death? What happens when we peel back the layers of our physical existence and look at our spiritual selves?

Jerry Greene’s book, The Truth, opens up a fascinating conversation around these very questions. Through his own spiritual journey, Greene presents the life-death cycle not as a singular, finite process but as part of a much grander spiritual evolution—one that stretches beyond our current understanding of life and death. He invites us to explore a deeper, often ignored truth: we are more than our bodies. We are conscious, spiritual beings in an ongoing journey of transformation and enlightenment.

The Life-Death Cycle: Not Just a Beginning and an End

At the heart of Greene’s teachings is the notion that life and death are not isolated events in a person’s existence. Instead, they are part of a cyclical process, one that serves as the backdrop for spiritual evolution. Greene argues that the life-death cycle is not a random event, nor is it the final chapter of our story. It’s the bridge that connects us to our spiritual origins and eventual return to that source.

He believes that before we were born into this physical body, we were conscious beings, pure and unbound by physical form. Our timeless consciousness transcends the physical body, enabling us to experience life and death as part of an ongoing, cyclical process. Death, rather than being the end, is simply a transition—a doorway through which we step to return to our true, spiritual selves.

In this view, life is not just about accumulating wealth, power, or fleeting experiences; it is about embracing a deeper meaning. It’s about learning, evolving, and ultimately returning to the source of all creation. Death, instead of being feared, is recognized as a necessary part of this evolutionary process, a chance to shed the physical form and continue our spiritual growth.

A Spiritual Journey Beyond the Flesh

Our attachment to the body and the material world often leads us to think of ourselves as merely physical beings. We believe that our appearance, our achievements, and our relationships shape our identity. But Greene challenges us to look beyond this limited perspective.

He emphasizes that the true essence of who we are lies in our consciousness, not in the physical body. We are spiritual beings, temporarily residing in flesh, experiencing the world through the senses, emotions, and thoughts. However, when we leave the body behind in death, our consciousness continues—unchanged, eternal, and ever-evolving.

Through the lens of this spiritual evolution, Greene’s words offer a refreshing perspective on life. Rather than focusing on external accomplishments, he urges us to reflect on our inner journey, our growth as conscious beings, and our connection to a higher power. Each moment in life presents an opportunity to learn, evolve spiritually, and align ourselves with divine wisdom.

The Role of Consciousness in the Cycle of Life and Death

One of the most profound aspects of Greene’s teachings is his assertion that consciousness plays a central role in the life-death cycle. He describes how consciousness evolves and interacts with the body and the physical world. When humans flesh first emerged, it was gifted with a consciousness (that lacked the divine presence and that wasn’t eternal) that was primal—survival-driven and focused solely on physical existence.

But as time passed, a divine consciousness began to attach to the flesh of man, a match made in heaven you could say. This consciousness, connected to the divine began to shape our understanding of life, death, and existence beyond the physical, it is divine. It calls us to experience more than just survival, it lifts us up above the level of the animals who’s consciousness is not connected to the divine—it encourages us to seek truth, wisdom, and enlightenment.

According to Greene, we are the divine consciousness of the flesh, we transcend the animalistic, primal consciousness that ties us to mere survival instincts. As conscious beings we are connected to God, the source of all creation, his angels and the All, who are other conscious beings like ourselves. Viewing the world with this understanding allows us to perceive the world and our place within it in a profoundly different way.  Isaac, consciousness does not evolve, its who and what we are, we are conscious beings. We are the same as the consciousness that’s in the animals except we have the connection to God. We are also eternal, and we will attach to flesh not only in this world, but many other worlds as well, and because our memory is taken each time we attach to flesh, each time we enter into this cycle will be like the first time.  We are spiritual beings that cause the flesh to animate, we are conscious beings.  The brain does not provide the flesh with any consciousness. A man with very little brain was reported a while back, and he did not display a lack of cognitive skills. Man is two parts, the flesh and us, the conscious beings attached.

Embracing the Spiritual Journey: Living with Purpose

Greene suggests that to truly understand the cyclical nature of life and death truly, we must embrace the idea of spiritual evolution. Each life we live is not just a chance to experience the world, but an opportunity to experience the world in another fleshly body, perhaps attached to another gender, or race, because we are neither male or female and in our natural state we have no race.

For many of us, death is a source of fear. We see it as an end, a point where our existence comes to a halt. But Greene’s message reframes death as a transition—one that opens the door to new beginnings, new experiences. Death is not to be feared; it is simply another step in the journey.

By understanding that we are eternal, we begin to live with a deeper sense of purpose. We no longer see ourselves as limited to our bodies or confined to a single lifetime. Instead, we realize that we are part of a much greater spiritual journey, one that stretches across lifetimes and worlds, we are consciousness, we are divine.

The Power of Spiritual Awareness

One of the key takeaways from The Truth is the importance of spiritual awareness. Greene reminds us that we are not just bodies moving through life, but conscious, spiritual beings navigating the cycles of existence. As we become more aware of our true nature, we can live with intention, purpose, and a deeper awareness of our divine selves.

This spiritual awareness allows us to see life and death not as isolated events, but as part of a larger cosmic plan—one that connects us all and invites us to evolve spiritually with each passing moment. By embracing this awareness, we can break free from the fear and anxiety that often accompany thoughts of death and instead focus on the beauty and purpose of our existence,

Conclusion: A Call to Live Beyond the Flesh

The life-death cycle, as presented by Jerry Greene, is more than a philosophical concept; it is an invitation to live life with a deeper understanding of who we truly are. When we begin to see ourselves as eternal, conscious beings on a spiritual journey, we free ourselves from the fear of death and the limitations of the physical body. Life becomes a sacred experience, one filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and connection to our divine family.

Ultimately, Greene’s message is one of empowerment. By embracing our spiritual evolution and understanding that we are more than our bodies, we can live with greater purpose, peace, and clarity. The life-death cycle is not something to fear—it is a beautiful, ongoing journey toward spiritual enlightenment. And in the end, we realize that we are not just living to survive; we are here to a purpose given by God, but the purpose isn’t the most important thing, the journey is.
