The Spiritual Reality

Annihilation and extinction in God’s creation doesn’t exist, only transformation from one form to another; particles to different particles or to energy, energy to different forms of energy or to particles. Everything created remains.

October’s Awakening, Day 25:

In this modern world of ours many people seem to think that science has somehow made such religious ideas as immortality untimely or old fashioned. I think science has a real surprise for the skeptics. Science, for instance, tells us that nothing in nature, not even the tiniest particle, can disappear without a trace. Nature does not know extinction. All it knows is transformation. If God applies this fundamental principle to the most minute and insignificant parts of His universe, doesn't it make sense to assume that He applies it to the masterpiece of His creation, the human soul?

 -Dr. Warner von Braun, founder of U.S. space exploration program

Since the Holy Spirit did not intend to teach us whether heaven moves or stands still, nor whether the earth is located at its center or off to one side, then so much the less was it intended to settle for us any other conclusion of the same kind. Now if the Holy Spirit has purposely neglected to teach us propositions of this sort as irrelevant to the highest goal (that is, to our salvation), how can anyone affirm that it is obligatory to take sides on them? I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree: "The intention of the Holy Spirit is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how heaven goes."

 -Galileo Galilei 

            In all God’s creation, conservation and economy is His key. Existence in some form is eternal. As Einstein’s special theory of relativity states, E=mc², matter and energy are interchangeable and nothing is lost. God chooses to conserve every particle and every minutia of energy in some manner, shape, or form. As we are the epitome of His creation, in His very image, we are uniquely retained in our pristine created state. Every human being exists forever, and ultimately will reside in the place of their own choosing. Annihilation is not an option, there is only existence.
