And consider this: in a massive expanding Galaxy full of stars and solar systems, on one specific planet in a specific Galaxy, out of 7 billion people and 6 thousand religions, you just happened to score the correct one?
Or maybe God only reveals Himself in more than one way... and this is just your perspective... maybe Faith isn't about believing unconditionally, but what you do with the knowledge you have been bestowed and more importantly, how you use it towards others...
I’m fascinated with these concepts. When atheists say “if the soul is the root of our awareness, and it existed before we were born why can’t we remember it or for that matter any previous lives”? I believe God wants us to tread in innocence and to be sharing our awareness of Him in A CHILDLIKE WAY. Just as Jesus said. If we strutted around all prideful saying well in my other lives I did this n that and witnessed miracles etc etc then where’s the impact? Everything tarnishes & “gets-old” as far as the human condition. Plus those negative attributes of being human (pridefulness) are the antithesis of the AWAKENING JOURNEY. We’re supposed to revel in this grand mystery in innocence so His splendor never “fades”, or having less consequence. I’m SURE of this tho…these mysteries have been pondered by those more eloquent than I?!!
God is a teacher. Not a do-everything-for-you-er.
