2) If it is true that spirit and the things and considerations of the spirit govern life - and should govern life - then it is also true that spirit and the things and considerations of the spirit govern death - and should govern death - because death is merely one aspect and one experience of life. Death is a part of life. It is part of the life experience and it can not and should not be separated from it. Yet it so often is – and it is the case that spirit and the things and considerations of the spirit are so often erroneously separated from death also. This, of course, is what happens when people contemplate or perform euthanasia. It seems to me that we just cannot remove spirit from any aspect of life and still have things as they spiritually should be.

The Spiritual Case Against Euthanasia
1) What all advocates of euthanasia and suicide do not know and what they should understand – indeed what all people, even non-advocates of euthanasia and suicide should know and understand as their opinions can easily change as circumstances and conditions change – is that the physical world and all aspects of existence in the physical world have been created by spirit solely for the purpose of spiritual development and evolution.

If the power of the spirit could fail..........
The spirit guide Silver Birch once said:
"If the power of the spirit could fail, the earth would cease to spin on its axis and the seasons fail to follow one another in orderly sequence. If the power of the spirit could fail, the sun would cease to be a fiery orb and the moon fail to reflect its illumination. If the power of the spirit could fail, no seed would flower, no fruit would grow."
(The Philosophy of Silver Birch edited by Stella Storm)
In the above quote from Silver Birch, he indicates what the power of the spirit does and indicates the extent of the power of the spirit. The power of the spirit controls and regulates everything and all things animate and inaminate in the universe from the very smallest of things to the very largest of things. Silver Birch talks about how spirit controls and regulates everything in the universe from seeds to stars, but spirit, in addition, controls and regulates everything in the universe from atoms and sub-atomic particles to the very galaxies themselves. I would further add that: spirit creates, controls, regulates and maintains the universe and everything in the universe.

The Interconnection of Spirit, Soul, Mind and Body
We tend to spatially compartmentalize and pigeonhole the spirit, soul, mind and body but it is not really appropriate for us to do that. We conceive and see the spirit, the soul, the mind and the body as being separated and placed in their own little pigeonholes in different locations and connected by means of some kind of spiritual wires or fibre optic cables!
Yet the connection – or rather the interconnection - that exists is not in this manner because it is basically a non-spatial one. It is true that the physical body has physical/spatial connections – and must have because it is a physical construct – but the mind, soul and spirit are non-physical and therefore are not spatial. It is true that there is an interrelationship between body, mind, soul and spirit but we cannot have a spatial interrelationship when one of the components of the self is physical and the other three are non-physical and do not belong to the physical plane.
If you would like to gain an appreciation of how the non-spatial connection works, get yourself a pen and a piece of paper, and write and superimpose each of the four words: spirit, soul, mind and body one atop of the other on the same space on the page with the word, body, on top. This produces a situation whereby all four words occupy exactly the same space and they cannot be separated because they are one. Although you put the word, body, on top you cannot really tell which of the words is on top. We cannot tell which word is at the front, middle or back – and that is because there is no front, middle, or back here. We can have no front, middle or back when we have non-spatial relationships – though there may appear to be. If you can imagine that you have written the words, spirit, soul and mind in invisible ink and the word, body, in normal ink, then the word, body, will be the only word that you can see. The word, body, may appear to be at the forefront or on top but this is not so. It only appears to be so. It is actually one and indivisible with the other words on the page. The words spirit, soul and mind are there - and they are just as there as the word, body, it is just you can neither see nor perceive them - or rather it is difficult for them to be seen or perceived. It is only if you have the means to perceive them that you will know they are there. This is precisely the situation that occurs with the self. The body is the thing we perceive, while the mind, soul and spirit we do not usually perceive – yet they are real nevertheless and they can be perceived if the senses are appropriately developed.

All Energy in the Universe is Spirit Energy
Because spirit is everything and everything is spirit, all power and energy in the universe is spirit power and spirit energy, and all power and energy in the universe derive from, are created by, and exist because of spirit power and spirit energy. Thus everything in the universe is really just spirit energy. This is akin to yin-yang theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine which states that everything in the universe is different combinations and manifestations of yin and yang energy. In my opinion, this is true of all planes and worlds and of all animate and inanimate objects in these planes and worlds.
Spirit is Everything / In Spirit There is and can be no Separation
Spirit, is the universe. Spirit is all physical and non-physical animate and non-animate objects in the universe. Therefore, although we talk about the physical, mental, psychical, and spiritual worlds and planes, each – and all things pertaining to these worlds and planes - are really only different manifestations and ranges of spirit, spirit energy and spiritual vibrations.
Because spirit is the universe and all things in the universe this means that all beings and all living things, no matter whether they reside on the physical plane or on other spiritual planes, are all spirit beings. It also means that all physical, psychical and spiritual worlds and planes are all spiritual worlds and planes. They are all really just different manifestations and ranges of spiritual energy and spiritual vibrations. It is this commonality of and connection by spirit that make possible spiritual healing, spiritual communication and all spiritual phenomena.
Spirit law decrees that this commonality of, and connection by spirit cannot be sundered and this means that there is no, and can be no spiritual isolation and separation between spirit beings, inanimate objects and spirit worlds. If there were spiritual separation and spiritual disconnection between and within the animate and inanimate objects of this earth plane and other spiritual planes and other spiritual vibrations, spirit could not exert perfect control over the universe and all things in the universe. Obviously, spirit must be able to link and communicate perfectly in a spiritual way with things for it to have perfect intelligence about them and for it to exert perfect spiritual control over them.
If there were spiritual separation and spiritual disconnection, the spiritual healing that occurs through spiritual healers would not be possible because spiritual healing through spiritual healing mediums is an entirely spiritual process requiring the channelling of spiritual healing power: from spirit, through spirit, to spirit – i.e. from the higher spiritual vibrations through the spirit of the healer to the spirit of the patient. For spirit power to reach the patient in a spiritual way, a three-way spiritual connection and communication must exist.
Likewise, all other kinds of spiritual mediumship are also entirely spiritual processes involving the channelling of spirit power from the higher spiritual vibrations through the spirit of the medium. Therefore, if there were spiritual separation and spiritual disconnection, no spiritual mediumship of any kind would be possible.
