If I were to die tonight...

[wizard69]

what would happen to me?
(and would my children appriciate or understand your theology)?

In my theology you would simply enter a state of awareness where you reflected on your immediate and past lives, discerning which goals you had met and which you had failed to achieve.

You then would choose your next environment within which to reincarnate.

Your children would appreciate or understand your death as simply the exiting from one "room" (through a "door") and entering another "room" which they are not yet privy to comprehending.

IMHO:

First "created"/caused were spirits/souls which came into being prior to the existence/creation of time and matter. (Somewhere within the existence of God.)

Next "created"/caused was the Universe, and "Time", which came into being at the instant of the "Big Bang" and allowed for the evolution of matter and the physical environment(s).

Next "caused" was the evolution of Life which allowed for the occupancy of matter by the spirits/souls.

Ultimate goal/purpose:

Acquisition of knowledge/experience by the spirits/souls and eventual rejoining into the Oneness of God.

God and Reincarnation

i believe that God is a Creative Entity, Energy or Force that is found in a state of awareness outside of the universe and time.

i believe that God chose to morph part of Itself into minute particles of Itself described as entities or spirits and gave them the purpose to go forth and experience, gain knowledge and eventually return into the Oneness of God.

i believe that those collective entities created the universe and, utilizing evolution as a tool, created that that is life so that they could inhabit various bodies in order to gain experience and knowledge.

Prior to incarnating into a physical body the entity chooses what it wants to accomplish and what the probable circumstances involving that body and its environment will be. When the situation is right the entity then begins to dwell within the physical body, probably around the time of its birth.

When the body dies the entity dwells in a state of awareness where it can see whether it met its goals and what gains and losses it may have attached to its being. It then, again, decides what future goals it wants to achieve and reincarnates when the conditions are appropriate.

Ultimately, after incarnating as many times as necessary to attain its goals, the entity gravitates back into the Oneness of God adding to the fulfillment thereof.

i choose

i chose to be born, to live or die,
Even the sex, that would be i;
i chose the race, from which to appear,
Also my wealth, my health and my fear.

i chose my trials and stumbling blocks,
And the legs i would use, in all of those walks;
i chose my sadness, my joy and my love,
i chose to serve and not be above.

i chose this life with all of its dues,
And with each dawn, again i choose;
The experiences for me that wait ahead,
To be alive, or be claimed dead.

And of the future lives i've yet,
It is my choice that i begat;
All the things, however pleasin',
That shall befall me in those seasons.


The above is my opinion which is expounded upon in my treatise A Search For Truth:

From my chosen path i stray,
Yet my God ne'er turns away;
For i have learned -- and understand,
That where God is -- is where i am!

Hello Ethmer, is this your personal philosophy, or do you belong to a group? If so, what's it called?
