Are we alive

We are told that God created us in his own image. If that is the case, we should all be
entities, as God was an entity.

I find myself asking, are we really alive or are we just shadows of the past looking into the
future?

They say that tomorrow never comes and yesterday is gone, so are we just in a loop not
going forward and unable to go back?

I don’t see how they say that our soul never dies. Do we then become an entity forever, to
be stuck in a time that has no beginning and no end?

We go through the act of living, but in reality, we are getting ready to die, moving closer to
becoming the entities that we were at the beginning.

So are we shadows of entities from the past, or are we the same entities that
have been around for thousands of years?

Will we ever disappear in a puff of smoke or will we just keep roaming this
earth, just changing how we look?

We will stand at a grave of a loved one and cry for someone who is not gone
but alive in some parallel universe as an entity just waiting to reappear as a
different entity.
