What *You* Choose! IS What Matters
What you choose is what matters.
It's what you choose that is what matters.
Your Spirit lets you choose
What it is you gain or lose--
And whether it's the former, or the latter.
It's not about your height, or your clothes, or even your shoes!
It's not about your money, or your looks, or the brains that you use.
Those things of today will quickly pass away,
And then only your spirit's going to stay.
'Cause when your body's through--
No longer any use to you--
That's when your spirit's going to be
Born into eternity!
Then you'll taste the pleasure
Of the fruits of your eternal treasure--
Where your choices really mattered
To the former or the latter.
"Cause what you choose is what matters.
It's what you choose that is what matter.
It's your spirit that lets you choose
What it is you gain or lose,
And whether it's the former, or the latter.
Because when your body is through--
No longer any use to you--
That's when your spirit will be
Born into eternity!
There you'll taste the pleasure
Of the fruits of your eternal treasure--
Where your choices really mattered
To the former, or the latter.

What is Spirit?
Your spirit is what considers each of your preferences and each of their importance to you, and chooses what you do. What you feel as you are judging (not merely thinking) is your spirit. These terms can be formally defined (which I have done) in an entirely self-consistent manner, useful for unambiguous analysis. For those that believe the Bible, the eternal nature of the spirit is obvious, even to science-minded people like me.
The Bible says: "God is Spirit", "God is Light", and we are made in "God's image". Since God is spirit, God's image is about spirit, not physical characteristics. "God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all." What is dark? Anything that is not light! Like our bodies.. Ask Science!
So, by deductive logic and reasoning, God's Spirit is Light, and our spirit in God's image is also Light. Yes, the Light of men, even the Light that shines on everyone, even we "children of light". Ask a physics person or look it up, light does not exist in time. We observe light originating tens of billions of years in the past. Light does not get old and vanish. Light is eternal. That's what Science says. Thus, our spirits, made of light somehow, are eternal as well. Genesis 1: "In the beginning... God said 'Let there be Light', and there was Light". John 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; He was with God in the beginning."
In Science, Light is characterized as the "carrier of information" (look it up). And what is a Word if not a carrier of information?
