Western nations are guilty of all sorts of sins, of which, way too often, the people within those nations desire to see life broken down into binary bits; such as, good and evil, life and death, heaven and hell, and so on and so forth. In this dynamic, many people really do believe that upon our physical death, we either go to heaven for eternity or go to hell. Further to the point, those that don’t believe that humankind has a soul, simply believe that death is the annihilation of the person. In short, it’s absolutely pathetic how many believe these delusions, which is a reflection of how spiritually lazy, far too many of those in western nations are; for apparently many a person does not care to contemplate the actual meaning of life, by devoting the worthwhile effort to ponder upon such.
It seems somewhat incredible, that humankind, from a scientific level, believes that there is such a thing as evolution, for fauna as well as for flora – but somehow are also able to believe, that each individual human life, consists of just one span of, 85 good years, if we are so fortunate, or thereabouts. The problem with this mindset, in which there is an orthodox belief that we have just one life and therefore just one experience on this good earth, is that, quite frankly, this can’t possibly be correct. After all, look at all the advantages that some people are so fortunate to be born with or to have, and correspondingly, look at all the disadvantages that so many suffer from. Further to the point, clearly, this isn’t a level playing field, and therefore because it isn’t a level playing field, it just doesn’t seem fair that some people are obviously going to be birthed into situations in which a very favorable outcome for them is in the cards, whereas so many others are left with the short end of the stick.
As much as people desire to believe that we go to heaven, or by our actions are sent to hell – the truth of the matter is that we grow to heaven, and therefore this signifies that we get opportunity after opportunity, incarnation after incarnation, to prove our mettle so as to get to where we are destined to be. That is to say, life is not just one experience, but rather consists of a cycle, within this earthly plane, of birth, death, and then rebirth… This thus signifies, that the death of our physical body, relieves us from being overly fixated upon our physical confinement, to recognize that our actual being is the consciousness that we have been gifted with by the very hand of God. It is this consciousness that we subsequently take from one life to the next, from one dimension to the next, which is in its essence, eternal, and therefore not subject to a beginning or to an end.
Those then that will not learn the truth of who and what we really are, or care not to learn, or are simply hard-headed, will thereby place themselves into a seemingly endless cycle of living life after life after life, without graduating to the level that they need to be on. The point of this life, is not only to live it well by being of service to our fellow human beings, but also to acknowledge the bountifulness of God, and finally to develop the wisdom that will thus generate for us, the escape velocity to break free of our earthly bounds.
