That we WERE before we ARE is somewhat confusing and definitely heretical to most reigious denominations. There are so mnay RULES to follow right here and now that people have little time to think about esoteric aspects of life. Just do what you're told. Obey the LAWS! And above all don't ask questions that would rock the boat and make people think! Stay in a religious comatose mode.
"Religion is the opiate of the people" so said Karl Marx!
I believe in reincarnation meaning I WAS before I AM. I was one with the Father. I was created before the foundation of the world. Reincarnation defined as living multiple lives and or coming back as something other than human (two descriptions there) hasn't attracted my attention to any serious degree, yet! I try to stay open-minded on all things, which doesn't mean all things have pried my mind open equallly.
I don't know how it is that we "forget to remember", or even if we are supposed to remember. Meg Blackburn Losey seems to think that it's a behaviorial process that takes place very early in life- that we forget that we were once one with the Father. What I do embrace is that the process of life here on earth is to reaquaint ourselves with who we really are.
We are children (metaphor of course) of God!
We are children of light (literally).
We have come from the Source of our being (God-Creator-Father-Consciousness) and to that we will ALL one day return. How and in what condition we will make the journey back home is highly speculative. Of course many think the majority will never return back to our home, but instead wind up in some sort of eternal torture chamber that the Creator devised to make unrepentant souls suffer eternally.
And this is the God who is LOVE?
I prefer see hell as heaven's guardian gate wherein we all must pass before stepping "proverbial foot" back on the doorsteps of life with our Maker. How long we have to spend at hell's gate (is there TIME in eternity?) is beyond what I can get my mind around.
Accepting the fact that we got HERE from THERE (our Creator Source) and that we'll one day return THERE will change how one lives their life. Can I get a witness? Do YOU know what I'm talkin' bout here?
