In this case I agree with you Weapon X, this thread is full of shameless book-plugging. I'm giving him ***** for effort though.

Out of curiosity, why do you think reincarnation is a primitive belief?
And, what makes a primitive belief inherently wrong?
@spiritconnect
Well human society has true beliefs and false beliefs. It is important to throw out the false ones if we are truly to know ourselves. The purpose of life is to reproduce and pass our genetic code to our children. There is no purpose in survival after death. Therefore it seems pointless for a being to live on after death. The human mind comes from the brain. When the brain dies then so does the mind. After all consciousness due to the workings of the brain which is just a giant neural network. Once this is destroyed then the mind is destroyed too. There is no way the mind could survive death. And even if it could what would be the purpose of living on?
Nature is simple we are born - we reproduce we die. Thats all. WHy delude ourselves that we are reborn have an afterlife? Its just wishfull thinking to escape the fear of death.
I don't want to offend your beliefs I just think that this is the truth.

I have not got that far yet. I will outline it when I get there.
(Sorry, got married this weekend... well, not sorry )

Congrats catlantis! My wedding is this saturday, so I bet you're glad it's all done with.
As far as spiritconnect's disposition towards his abusers, no matter what path taken, I think we can all agree that the best end result is not holding on to the anger and to push for forgiveness. I mean, really, what good does it do yourself to continue to be angry towards someone? Not much really, and you're the only one with the ability to let it go. I agree with the philosophy with forgiving all tresspasses upon you and to return a smile, granted sometimes are much easier then others, but I think this is the general goal that people KNOW deep inside their heart is the correct response.
I can see where that may be a strange thing to see looking in, but really it doesn't matter what spiritconnect's beliefs are, if it was another belief that was encouraging him to forgive and forget, then that would seem quite strange as well.
Spiritconnect, I tried the MP3 file you had a while ago and I didn't have much success with it, although the environment wasn't ideal and I have been busy putting a wedding together as well...

Don't disregard all of us skeptical yanks out here too, Box.
I believe in some of the O.P.'s spiritual concepts considering that they can be gleaned from various sources and I actually do believe in the fact that we all have guides in some fashion. I've also learned that when hearing certain buzz words to look for the "sale" item. Just like the $85 "Fire-the Grid" magnets...it usually comes down to good ole' greenbacks.
If we are all capable of spiritual enlightenment, and we all have guides then it will be done on an individual basis. Nothing bought can accelerate such a complicated process. I doubt our guides are sitting around quietly waiting for us to buy the next new age self-help book, so they will magically appear and begin teaching us. If we are meant to spiritually evolve (assuming most haven't) then what are our guides waiting for to push us along?
Oh wait I know...they wait for the next gimmicky hustler to come along and take advantage of those hopeful people out there that want to make a positive spiritual change in the world but lack the means to find a way to focus that desire. It's THAT hope that all the "alien/spirit guide enlightenment" peddlers prey on. Beings as powerful as you describe do not need a single person to spread a universal message intended for us all.
This is because our paths are individual and unique.
If you have authentically been in contact with a giant Aryan man from a race of Nordics here to save us all (good grief...no ascended beings of color in the universe I guess) then from what I've read so far your guides have created a rosy picture of the universe and our place in it that is bogus.
There are plenty of "powerful beings" out there that do not have our best interests at heart. We are viewed by some as property/resource and we are continuously and historically manipulated, restarted, and then manipulated all over again. We are sold a religious hoax that keeps us symbolically honoring groups we don't even realize and consequently puts us at each others throats since those groups oppose each other too. It's basically a mess.
If Gabriel and Yeshua (cute) haven't explained any of this to you then maybe THEY are trying to sell YOU something, Doc.
This is sad.
I will use a personal story to finish off this post: I was sexually abused three times when I was a child by three different men (not in my immediate family). For the longest time, and mostly throughout my teen years, I was bitter about the abuse, and I literally hated the abusers. After meeting Gabriel, however, I have come to the realization (most people do not understand this at all) that my own soul chose the abuse before I was incarnated in order to teach me the real meaning of forgiveness and the purpose of pain.
...
First let me say, that this is the single most disgusting thing i've read in a very long time. Abused people CHOSE to be abused to get teached ?! You crossed a line here, a very thick one.Unfortunately i care about my account here, otherwise i would let my girl, who happens to work with abused kids, do the posting on this.
I'm sure that highly intelligent beings do not believe in reincarnation. It is a primitive belief system along with religion.

Point 6 from above.
It is a bit confusing. Given this info, who is telling Genesis? Who is the "us" referenced there? Why is the serpent then acursed?
Can you give a history here as you see it?
Who are the players? YHWH, Jehova, Elohim, Satan, Lucifer, et al.
Have you read the Urantia stuff? Some of it sounds a bit similar (but I have not read that much of it)
Thanks,
