35 stages of re-incarnation - where next?

a reply to: blend57

Thankyou for that excellent chart! As I suspected, the teenager who helped the blind/deaf passenger on the Alaska Airline jetliner last week was a "mature" soul.

I thought most people who wanted to be priests and nuns were too. But then all the molestation started happening. So I don't know anymore.

If there are stages and they are lived through to grow up, then it follows that spiritual developement, attainment and initiation, etc. could be called "skipping out of learning" . . . .

It then follows that there may very well be a "bunch of dropouts" calling themselves the spiritual hierarchy of humanity and running the show.

The spiritual leaders of humanity would therefore be "children".

that would explain a lot . . . . .

You cannot become one with someone else because there is no you - there is only what there is!

Uh hah, now isn't that exactly what you have done?

Become one with something is what I refer to.

No one can become one with anything - there isn't anyone and there isn't anything.

Also, I would like to know how people know such things. Is it through ancient writings or have they found some hidden knowledge somewhere..this is an honest question, I really wanna know how they know.

Very good qustion.
How does anyone know these things?
How does one know anything at all?
How can we tell the difference between what someone claims as knowledge, and beliefs?

This is the crux of the matter.A person can only believe what they believe through perception(observation) however that is not empirical proof it is truth, only observation through belief which is not knowing.
