“One man in his time plays many parts”. Shakespeare could have been talking about Reincarnation. We, each one of us play the part of many people in many different time frames.
Our first lifetime is that of a spiritual baby; this life is simple and forthright. In innocence we reach for the “good” as we perceive it. Blessed is the child whose parents guide him, but without a “good” parent, the child is still taught right from wrong by contact with the life he sees without and the one he feels within. He is born with all three states of consciousness to enable him to grow and choose his future. The early years do not mold the man, they give him knowledge of the choices ahead and the rewards they may promise. The constructive inner voice develops and decisions are made with the knowledge at hand. Satan promises much at this stage.
Next comes the school-boy or teen-age time in life when spiritual maturity starts to develop. In Christianity, it is recognized that this is the time to be “Confirmed”, or Avowed to God in many Denominations. In Jewish traditions it is the Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah. This age is the age of realization and is used by many cultures in their Rights of Passage. It is recognized universally that these years shape the adult to come. The voice of God within is strong now but Satan throws all his weight at these young folks. At this time man’s Super C is eager to resume living toward its progression to regain its original state of oneness with God if it has had a previous existence. At this stage the C and Super C are widely separated and the Super C cannot progress a man any faster than man’s C allows it to do. Being that part of man, which wants the best for him, it starts him at the same stage of spiritual development that he was in when he left his last life-experience. These progressions of lives propel a man foreword toward total commitment to God.
Satan is constantly alert for a chance to grab man’s Super C from him. He wants mankind to separate himself from God and worship him and his evil pleasures instead. Satan knows that once a man has definitely chosen in his C, a life of sin and self-indulgence, rejecting the existence of God forever, he has reached the point of no return and his Super C no longer exists within him to link him with God. He is eternally dead although temporal death may still be ahead of him. There is no hope for him. He has rejected God and now God must reject him. God has given him life after different life in an effort to get him to listen to the Super C within himself. God can do no more when a man’s mind-set now refuses to accept God’s existence.
True to His word, God has given us every help possible to enable us to return to His Glories. He came to earth and took human form, teaching us how to find Him on our own level of understanding. He created ways for widely different cultures to find Him; each culture was given a way in keeping with their understanding. He sent prophets and leaders to each group revealing His words and caused books to be written with His path to truth spelled out. All these paths lead man to a oneness with this Constructive Force that we call “God” who for eternity saves what Satan would destroy.
