This is you. This photo represents the whole you. The woman in the picture symbolizes your soul and the man symbolizes your physical body.
Your soul is the real you. It is an immortal free spirit. Your physical body is the pet that was assigned to you by God. It is mortal. The Creator wants to see how responsible your spirit is, if you are willing and able to take care of a living buddy. Before giving you a permanent ethereal body, God is testing you to see if you are trustworthy towards living creatures.
So the purpose of your life on earth is pretty simple: to take care of your pet, your body, with its physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs. If you succeed, you will pass the test and be granted a permanent glorified body, after your temporary earth pet dies.
You fail the test if you kill your pet (suicide), if you kill someone else’s pet (murder), or if your pet becomes your god (idolatry).
You see, spirituality is exciting, fun and very simple. Just accept the fact that you are a spirit in charge of a pet and everything will fall into place.

This is what I am inspired to write this morning, thanks to David who first gave me the idea last month when I read his blogpost entitled You Are Not a Physical Body, in which he states: “Your body is your pet, it is not you.” Thanks David.
