Questions I've Had

i don't have a girlfriend and i live at the top of a mountain in a rural county 10 miles away from town without a car. ——— how do you think i should find my wife/the mother to my child? it is my dream to have a family of my own.

i am looking for a way to travel the world, but i don't have any really saleable skills, aside from maybe playing music, which i am only tolerably good at. i don't have much money to speak of as it is. do you think i could survive if i just got on my bike tomorrow and started pedaling south to mexico? i want to remain somewhat comfortable, and if it is excessively cold, i want to be able to afford a hotel room.

i love to read out loud. i love to enunciate the books and pronounce the words out loud. this way i feel that i am getting more of a handle on the words, i am getting more of a hold. in addition to this, i love to explore religious/spiritual topics. For example, my favorite topic is the topic of life and death: what is going to happen to my consciousness after i die? or should i say when my body dies? i feel that there must be an legitimate response to this question. my theory is that it will go to sleep for a while (a long while [all eternity, eternity being the totality of time, and it itself being a loop or a cycle that returns upon itself and begins where it started and really has no real beginning or ending]), only to wake up in another incarnation. what books would you recommend that provide such an answer to my query about what will happen to me after i die, or, as i should say, my body will die?, for you see, i believe that i am really a soul, and the soul is immortal. everyone has a unique soul. however, spirit is a word that refers to the atman inside, the common spirit inside, the god inside, whose voice is our conscience. spirit is everlasting and eternal, timeless. soul, however, can grow and/or atrophy, depending on the actions that we take in our lifetimes. during death, it is in a state of catatonic sleep. 

life on earth is really all we get. there is no such thing as heaven or hell. we must embrace the present moment and the life we have. we must not always be seeking after some pie in the sky that we will never truly get to possess. people on earth are always dreaming of some ideal that that they will possess when they are dead, but at the expense of enjoying this life and trying to make the most of It. what books would you recommend that disseminate a similar message?

my name is george slade cole. i am 39 years old (soon to be 40), and i live in the appalachian mountains in north carolina. when i was 31, i took a bike ride that took me from savannah, georgia, to seminole, oklahoma. my father rode me from seminole to longmont, colorado, where i lived (boulder) for 2 years, before riding a greyhound to the pacific northwest (salem, oregon—seattle, washington), from where i rode a plane back home to savannah, and rode up here (north carolina), where I have pretty much lived ever since. this journey lasted from 2014-2017. i have written about it in a book ('from savannah to salem'), which i have published on my blog (blogspot.com/georgesladecole). i know that the title 'from savannah to salem' is misleading because, in point of actual fact, i really traveled from savannah georgia to seattle washington, and back, and then moved here. the book is supposed to roughly tell the story of the road journey. have you ever heard of it?

what would you want to read about if you were reading about a journey a man took on 'is bicycle from the east coast of america to the west?

did jesus really never sin?
