Of course, this sense of separation was all in our minds, so to speak, because there really was no way we could exist outside of the Whole because everything was of spirit
Once again if we were a part of gods conciousness how are we to blame?/QUOTE]
God knew full well what was going to happen. Remember, God is Genius. It's like Bach plus Einstein plus De Vinci plus every other genius ever multiplied by a gazillion.
A paradox we must all face, is that in order to be companions with God, we must be like God. We must be one with God. But the paradox is, that in doing so, we would appear to lose our individuality, which ********es aethiests off no end. But it's not the case. We will always be ourselves.
Put it this way, we've all got mates. There all pretty similar to us and we enjoy each other's company. We don't really want ****************s hanging around with us, and as such, don't let them hang around with us. But despite the fact that your mates are similar, you wouldn't want them to be so similar that you were hanging around with yourself. So how does the all knowing consciousness ensure that the calibre of sould he recoups are independant? He gives them free will. And how does he ensure that they will want to return to him as companions? He places one law, the law of cause and effect.

If, however, a soul has gotten so far away from its true nature that it has no conscience, then the law of karma can become a formidable obstacle to any further free-will action. Such a soul becomes surrounded by its karma; everywhere it turns, it meets the terrible effects of its previous action and thoughts. Yet, even a soul who has gotten in this pathetic situation can return to perfection because there is no total condemnation from the Creator or the law. If the soul turns away from its self-centeredness and begins acting, reacting, thinking, and speaking like a companion to the Universe, then the law is just as perfect as it is with error; and the reactions begin to build and establish a new destiny for that soul.
Cant have a religion without an escape clause can we.
I'm not talking about any religion and it's not really an escape clause.
Take Stalin for example. Imagine his Karmic debt. It would be as much as anyone ever. But killing off the soul is not in the nature of the giving force. Forgiveness is. The force finds a path for the sould to take, to adequately remediate
The only way I've ever heard it explained to me in any way which makes sense, is to look at it this way; can you hate a person with Downes Syndrome. Do you wish them harm? Would you rather they just disappeared into obscurity? I hope your answer is "Of course not!".
Well that's God's view to people with big Karmic debts. Rather than just bury them with the universal law of cause and effect, the universal consciousness treats people like Stalin and Hitler as being spiritually ******ed. As am I and as and as are you (obviously not in the ball park of the other two just quietly).
Treat evil as people who are ******ed. You don't hate a ******ed person for making socially obscure errors. You understand and you help them where you can.
The only way to erradicate the ignorance which causes our spiritual ******ation, is to achieve enlightenment / Christ consciousness / Buddahood.
I don't understand your point. I know Cayce is dead. He did his work in the early 1900s. It's his student who is providing an interperetation of Cayce's work on consciousness which was retreived via meditation.
