What do you believe?

I believe that everybody is going to have their own concept during life, no matter what anybody else says. I believe there is no wrong or right belief, merely those that are more effective and those that are less effective. I believe what you believe is your own business, and while what you have to say may be interesting, I really don't care how you choose to live your life one way or the other.

I also believe that when we die we'll finally figure it out, only to be reborn and have to go through it again. But that's just me.

And 'God' is merely a name given to the creative energy/attributes of the universe. It is a being, in a sense, since it is everything, but it does not require/desire worship, faith, or a certain behavioral pattern for it to be 'happy'.

 

Good Question, i used to be christian but always new i was kidding myself to be honest. Since my first trip a few weeks back my mind has been blown wide open so im just on the start of my true spiritual journey now, so far i dont beleive in any gods but do beleive in some kind of universal consciousness. I have alot of reading to do and alot of tripping to do also to even get a grasp of what i think i beleive and how to interpret it.

 

The plan for the earth cycle of souls was a series of incarnations, interlarded with periods of dwelling in other dimensions of consciousness in the system - the planets, until every thought and every action of the physical body, with its five senses and conscious mind, was in accord with the plan originally laid out for the soul. When the body was no longer a hindrance to the free expression of the soul - when the conscious mind had merged with the subconscious, and the atomic structure of the body could be controlled so that the soul was as free in it as out of it - the earth cycle was finished and the soul could go on to new adventures. This conquest of the physical body could not be attained until there was perfection in the other dimensions of consciousness in the system, for these made up, with the earth, the total expression of the sun and its satellites. Whichever state of consciousness the soul assumed became the focal point of activity. The other states of consciousness receded to the position of urges and influences.

 

The race of man was fostered by a soul which had completed its experience of creation and returned to God, becoming a companion to Him and cocreator. This is the soul man knows as the Christ.

The Christ soul was interested in the plight of its brother souls trapped in earth, and after supervising the influx of the five races, it took form itself, from time to time, to act as a leader for the people.

 

I believe its Maghrib time.....it only 5minutes of your Earth time..

 

Though at first the souls but lightly inhabited bodies and remembered their identities, gradually, life after life, they descended into earthiness, into less mentality, less consciousness of the mind force. They remembered their true selves only in dreams, in stories and fables handed down from one generation to another. Religion came into being: a ritual of longing for lost memories. The arts were born: music, numbers, and geometry. These were brought to earth by the incoming souls; gradually their heavenly source was forgotten, and they had to be written down, learned, and taught to each new generation.

Finally man was left with a conscious mind definately seperated from his own individuality. (He now calls this individuality the subconcious mind; his awareness of earth is the conscious mind.) The subconscious mind influenced the conscious mind - gave it, in fact, its stature, breadth and quality. It became the body under the suit of clothes. Only in sleep was it disrobed.

With his conscious mind man reasoned (for all mind, left to itself, will work out the plans of God). He built up theories for what he felt - but no longer knew - to be true. Philosophy and theology resulted. He began to look around him and discover, in the earth, secrets which he carried within himself but could no longer reach with his consciousness. The result was science.

 

The plan of man went into action. Downward he went from heavenly knowledge to mystical dreams, revealed religions, philosophy and theology, until the bottom was reached and he only believed what he could see and feel and prove in terms of his conscious mind. Then he began to fight his way upward, using the only tools he had left: suffering, patience, faith, and the power of mind.

Atlantis and Lemuria sank; civilizations rose and fell; man was here a little better, there a little worse. He descended to the depths of earth consciousness, then slowly began to climb back. In earthly seasons it was a long journey from the moment when the first soul , looking down through the trees, saw a violet and wanted to pluck it, to the instant when the last soul should leave its body forever.

 

The Christ soul helped man. As Enoch, as Melchizedek, it took on flesh, to teach and lead. (Since it was to be active it had to be male.) Enoch and Melchizedek were not born, did not die. The Christ soul realized after these assumptions of flesh that it was necessary to set a pattern for man, to show him the way back to himself. It assumed this task, and was born of woman, beginning voluntarily a new individuality, a new soul record; though behind this new individuality shone the pure Christ soul. But on this the veil dropped and the Son of God began His pilgrimage. He was born as Joseph, again as Joshua, again as Jeshua - the scribe of Enoch who wrote the Bible - and finally as Jesus. He, Jesus, triumphant over death and the body, became the way, laying down the ego of the will, accepting the crucifixion, returning to God. He is the pattern we are to follow.

(At present man is in a state of great spiritual darkness - the darkness which precedes dawn. He has carried his skepticism to the point where it is forcing him to conclusions he knows intuitively are wrong. At the same time he has carried his investigation of natural phenomena to the point where it is disproving all it seemed to prove in the beginning. Free will is finding that all roads lead finally to the same destination. Science, theology, and philosophy, having no desire to join forces, are approaching a point of merger. Skepticism faces destruction by its own hand.)

Man is at all times the total of what he has been and done, what he has fought and defended, what he has hated and loved. In the three-dimensional consciousness of earth every atom of his physical body is a reflection of his soul - a crystallization of his individuality. His emotional and nervous structures, his mental abilities, his aptitudes, his aversions and preferences, his fears, his follies, his ambitions, his character, are the sum of what he has done with his free will since it was given to him. So every personality - the earthly cloak of an individuality - is different from every other personality.

This has been true from the beginning. The first independent thought of each soul was a little different from the first independent thought of every other soul.

 

I also believe everything is dead.. we are pretending to be living..
and I once saw a group of soda cans sing "G-L-O-R-I-A- GLORIA"... it dont matter, as long as YOU love it..

 

So people are different in their likes and dislikes, in their desires and dreams. The law of karma - cause and effect - likewise makes them different in their joys and sorrows, in their handicaps, their strengths, their virtues and vices, their appreciation of beauty, and their comprehension of truth. Debits incurred in the flesh must be met in the flesh: natural law, not man or God, demands an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

The same law applies to groups of people, as they act together. There is karma for families, for tribes, for races, for nations. When the souls who committed a war return to a nation, a war will be committed upon that nation. Only when defeat is endured by a nation with humility and understanding , only when victory is dispensed by a nation with justice and mercy, will the karma of battle be lifted from them.

Every person's life is shaped to some extent by karma: his own, that of his associates and loved ones, that of his nation and race, and that of the world itself. But these, singly or together, are not greater than free will. It is what the person does about these influences and urges, how he reacts to them, that makes a difference in his soul development. Because of karma some things are more probable than others, but so long as there is free will anything is possible.

Thus free will and predestination coexist in a person. His past experiences limit him in probability, and incline him in certain directions, but free will can always draw the sword from the stone.

 

My belief:

nevertheless believes that conditioning can and will empty free will from freedom. Tough to take: we become as the becoming marionette. We are as the willful reason of natural thoughtlessness. We think thought.

I am.

 

No soul takes on flesh without a general plan for the experience ahead. The personality expressed through the body is one of many which the individuality might have assumed. Its job is to work on one or several phases of the karma of the individuality. No task is undertaken which is too much for the personality to which it is assigned - or which chooses it. (Some souls choose their own entrances and set their own tasks; others, having made too many mistakes and become dangerously subject to earthly appetites, are sent back by law, at a time and under circumstances best suited to help them.) The task is seldomly perfectly fulfilled, and sometimes it is badly neglected.

Choice of incarnation is usually made at conception, when the channel for expression is opened by the parents. A pattern is made by the mingling of the soul patterns of the parents. This sets up certain conditions of karma. A soul whose own karma approximates these conditions will be attracted by the opportunity presented. Since the pattern will not be exactly his own, he must consider taking on some of the karma of the parents - relatively - in order to use the channel. This concerns environment, companionship with the parents, and certain marks of physiognomy.

Things other than pattern concern the soul in its selection of a body: coming situations in history, former associations with the parents, the incarnation, at about the same time, of souls it wishes to be with and with whom it has problems to work out. In some cases the parents are the whole cause of a soul's return - the child will be devoted to them and remain close to them until their death. In other cases the parents are used as a means to an end - the child will leave home early and be about its business.

 

... there would be required some realm of Nirvana from which arose and/or dissoluted the carnal being. Without the realm, there exists perpetual kharma.

Pure incarnation on the other hand, i.e. the becoming from nothing but the referred to Word, of the fleshed body determined for the Soul the eternal sort of return to becoming in appearance of the mere being in itself.

 

I believe in myself and my abilities and potential, and I believe that my aim for this life is growth, learning, sharing and suchlike.
I believe I am responsible for myself.
I believe that I am incredibly fortunate, and this should be recognised and celebrated daily.
I believe that life is amazing.
I believe that the challenges I face will present an opportunity for growth and I welcome this.

 

I believe in A THING CALLED LOVE
