Memories Of The Future
When I was about 14 or 15 I had this idea that all of us would eventually become Gods. We would each be given a planet to oversee with a population designed as we thought fit. I can also remember standing over a small ant nest and realising that, like God, I could wipe out a few of the ants or even most of the colony by simply stamping on them. This, in a way, was influenced by the old fashioned idea of God, where he could bring about terrible consequences if we did anything wrong – or even just on a whim.
When I was imagining these things it was way before computer games where such things are possible.
As I see it, in days gone by, there was a fear of God because it kept us all in line. This in many ways completely opposes the teachings of Jesus and love and forgiveness. The Old and New Testaments of the Bible do tend to contradict each other at times.
I feel that the Old Testament God may be a misunderstanding of the idea of karma, – whereas Jesus teaches about what we reap is what we have sown – a truer version of karma.
At times it is difficult to understand the unfairness of life, but problems are a means or opportunity to overcome. We maybe should think of our lives as being long term, and not just 70, 80 or 90 years. The idea of a resurrection being based on the actions of one short life, and the conditions we are born into, is unrealistic and would be unjust.
Resurrection surely must be an opportunity for us to start again and is part of a constant state of a surviving spirit, soul or whatever you may wish to call this. We assume and discard many bodies with the essence of life flowing from one on to another.
We therefore refine our future bodies and circumstances by the actions of our current lives here on Earth. Our lives are a spiral of continuity which we gradually ascend.
Something I read recently by RP Beesley was:
“The Spirit is the true self, this is our eternal body. That it will grow, expand in wisdom and knowledge, become strong resilient, courageous and deep in understanding is the purpose of it’s being, thus to become builders, teachers, skilled artisans of creation.
As the Kingdoms grow other worlds are still in the making, so these souls and spirits help fashion and to dwell in these future realms – brave new worlds invested in the consciousness of God.”
So maybe I was sort of on the right track when a young teenager after all!
