Mr Reductionist Materialism – A Conundrum
 
  Wayne Dyer says the body is “a curriculum
to God” and all illness is indicative of sepa-
ration from God – I’m afraid, if God is in
Siberia; I must be in the Sahara desert -

I ran into Mr Reductionist Materialism who
declared with glee, smile right round the face,
when he is dead he will be gone, no soul or
spirit left; and he assures me most joyously
the same lovely fate is awaiting me also

Pity when he’s dead he won’t be there to enjoy
his exultation at my discomfiture on being dead
and not having a soul or spirit; ah, a conundrum
there, I perceive – meanwhile

His consciousness will still be hanging around
playing dead and it might take several ages for
him to realize he is still alive – guess who
will laugh at whom then?

Margaret Alice
