| Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic or Lord. He either deceived us or is deity. We have to determine this first. I believe without a shadow of a doubt that he is Lord. That's the foundation I stand on. |
| If I believe (and I do) that Christ is the rock (bedrock) then I would say it's a sure foundation and everything else is sinking sand. I've been there as well....I jumped over let's say. I believe he's the cornerstone, the capstone and the stumbling stone. And I totally agree with what you said about the growth process. I also believe the older ones (spiritually) should help the babies grow. I believe that's what God has called me to do. Of course I completely understand that force feeding doesn't work. |
I completely agree with all this. I believe in the divinity of Jesus, and I believe that He was who He said He was. Christ is the rock and foundation, because Christ is God, and God is the ultimate foundation. I wouldn’t say I believe it based on evidence, however. It was so long ago there isn’t really any proper evidence. I believe it because Jesus’ teachings make sense to me, and He clearly came to earth for a profound purpose with a deep message to share.
| Do you not believe in Hell? Where do you think we go after death? |
We are spiritual beings on an endless journey. When we die, we pass over to the Heavenly realm. That is our eternal abode. But the quality of our inner-experience in the afterlife is determined by the amount of spiritual wealth we have accumulated on our journey so far. People who have deliberately caused much evil or corruption on earth will experience an inner feeling of darkness and guilt when they arrive in Heaven. They will have created a hell of their own making. With the bigger picture opened up to them, they will become aware of the consequences of their actions to others and to their own soul. Their inner-burden will be painful.
We reap exactly what we sow, and nobody can escape the law of karma. Even though some people might seem to get away with being evil or corrupt in this life, rest assured they will have to pay off their karmic debts at another time.
It is difficult to balance out negative karma in Heaven, because the challenges don't exist there. Evil souls are therefore often forced to incarnate back to earth in an attempt to `burn off' their negative karma. Maybe a paedophile will have to experience abuse as a child, firsthand, for example, in order to balance out their karma.
It is true that the quickest way to advance spiritually and to cultivate positive karma, is to love, and to adhere to principles of goodwill, forgiveness and integrity. For the vast majority of souls, death is a highly positive experience. It is like being released from a dark, stuffy room, walking into a breathtaking world of freedom, beauty and light. Whilst in Heaven, we retain our individuality, live full lives in the spirit world, and exist for all eternity. At Home we are at our most alive and vibrant.
We freely choose to incarnate on physical planes such as earth as many times as we like, in order to face challenges and trials which don't exist in Paradise. (A good way to interpret the nature of our short lives on earth is to perceive them as quick trips to the gym, which advance spiritual strength and growth.) From our eternal perspective in Heaven, a lifetime on earth is like a blink of an eye. We see that negative experiences turn into positive learning, and in our state of infinite security we choose grim lifetimes on earth in order to attain a higher good.
The hardships and tribulations that we face on earth are of our own choosing, not God's. For each trip to earth, we choose our own bodies, we choose the timing of our incarnation, we choose the conditions of our upbringing and the challenges we face. The greater the physical challenge, the greater potential for spiritual advancement. Hence, disabled bodies, for example, are actually blessings in disguise.
Whilst clothed in this human body, our earthly minds are deliberately 'veiled' from the Truth in order for our soul to experience challenges of a deeper kind. (i.e. concepts such as "fear", "loneliness", "pain", "hatred", "ugliness", "insecurity", or "doubt" etc. are incoherent in Heaven. They can only be experienced in realms such as earth-life. Our deeper goal is to rise above them and conquer them from within. If we were always aware of the whole Truth, then the challenges would cease to be).
| What do you base your belief on? |
I’m psychic, believe it or not. This consciousness – this knowing – comes from beyond me, and I don’t expect this to cut any mustard with other people anyway. I had a big discussion about it on JU about a year ago, and I’m not going to labour it all again. There are also hundreds of books out there written by other psychics, some of which are frauds, others of which are genuine, (you can tell by their integrity, passion, and clarity), which describe the exact same model of the world that I’ve just described here.
Anyway, this is the way it is. I’m just describing my point of view, a bit like the spaceman who told the flat-earthers the world is round. All I can do is be true to myself and to God. Whether it strikes a chord or not, or whether it makes any sense, depends on whether you’re ready. If not, or if you don't believe me, then no harm. It’s just another point of view, after all.
