Who am I?

"You are what you were then" someone theorized. In other word, our past experience tends to dominate our present behavior. I prefer to enlarge that concept to include our past in previous lives. We come into physical being with a spiritual memory of countless former body experiences. Perhaps James van Praagh says it best: "You are born into this world not empty-handed, but with the wisom of eternity contained in your soul's memory. It is your job to reconnect with that memory and find your true purpose in life. When you transcend your personality and ego, and center yourself in thi eternal wisdom, you clear the way to experience a true union with your divine self."

We know from experience that the death of the body, though often painful and difficult for surviving loved ones, is not to be grieved. Perhaps Memorial Day should be a celebration rather than a time of sorrow. After all, we humans painfully construct the circumstances in which people's bodies are injured and killed, including wars, disease, crime, etc. Our greed motivated behavior spins these circumstances with intent. This creates a rich learning environment for both perpetrators and victims. This nature of learning is not available in the spirit body, and therefore we choose to be reborn into physical life to spend another life time on this or another planet.

More thoughts: The capitalist greed philosophy will ultimately exhaust the planet of its natural resources. A new philosophy must emerge to save the planet's life support system. We may all have to become minimalists and reduce our carbon footprints to a minimum. The Super Rich may become motivated to take drastic measures to reduce the planet's population. Secret societies no doubt will conspire how to get that done "accidentally." See Overpopulation.

Believers keep asking: How could God allow this to happen? First, God is in us and we are part of God. Second, God is in the spirit, and when our physical bodies die we return home to the spirit world to be in God. Third, catastrophic human events are not all that terrible when viewed from the spirit side. Perhaps these are major learning lessons necessary for the growth of the involved.

If you are one of many who stands on the Word, bless you. God's Word is holy, supreme and powerful, albeit countless translations and interpretations make it tough to embrace word by word. I like to be a philosopher and develop my own understanding without belittling the beliefs of others.
