Spiritual

Theme: Light Dark

Is God a solid (what is God made of)?
If God is omnipotent, would that mean He would be able to create a universe with all the benefits of hardship, such as spiritual growth, without actually including hardship?
As one deals with the language of identity and attempts to move closer to the oneness of consciousness by not nourishing the ego, what language can be used instead of "me, myself, I, etc.?
What is spiritual enlightenment, and how does it differ from emotional or intellectual enlightenment?
Why can't souls meditate/reflect in their own soul universe and move onto higher states of consciousness? Why do they need a physical body to do this? Is it not like coming one step down when one wants to go up?
Will I realize it when I shed my cloak of flesh and bone? How do you know when you go from the material world into the spiritual world? Can metaphysics "call down" the spiritual world and integrate it with what we have here?
If there is an afterlife, what form would one take in it, and how would one recognise others in it?
