My 'view' of 'post-incarnation' adventures (based on what I have researched and understood) which I present in
my treatise is [alert: LOTS of cool hyperlinks in section 2 below, folks!
]:
(1) "Some postulate there may be circumstantially demanding reasons why fully ‘mature’ souls may choose to incarnate (again), however. Those ‘seen’ as being and doing so are often proclaimed to be ‘avatars’ of
The Entity of
Life Itself, which is believed to make a ‘personal’ stage ‘appearance’ when and as there is a sufficiently pressing ‘need’ for what is thought of as ‘divine’ intervention. Be that as it may or may not be, my (logical, I think) supposition is that, having become
Cosmically ‘enlightened’ and ‘adept’ by way of learning their soul-educating ‘lessons’ and accomplishing their soul‑developing ‘tasks’, the souls of Earth-school ‘graduates’ just embark on one of any number of possible post-incarnational ‘careers’. (To anyone who thinks otherwise, I ask: What is the logic of a fully matured soul ‘returning’ to ‘do’ what some other soul(s) may beneficially learn by and consequently mature by way of ‘doing’ and leading-n-teaching others to also ‘do’?)
Speaking of post-incarnational ‘careers’, I will give readers who may presently feel so ‘burned-out’ by having to face and endure Earthly-life’s often stressful exigencies that the thought of being on permanent ‘holiday’ in some kind of completely ‘care-free’ environment, without any more ‘lessons’ to learn or ‘tasks’ to tackle, appeals to them as being
supremely desirable, some additional possibilities to ponder in this regard. Not that a period of R&R (i.e. rest and relaxation) isn’t ‘in the cards’ in such cases mind you, but here, in keeping with what I’ve been talking about, let me bring attention to the (logical, I think) fact that, since Life is Creativity and Creativity is causal purpose in action, if that (i.e if R&R) were all that souls went on to experience, they
wouldn’t develop and
grow further. Instead of really Living then, they would just end up stagnating and atrophying in boredom!"
and
(2) "Just on the basis of personal experiences and, even if one isn’t aware of having had any such experiences oneself, based on the reports of cognizant others, however, one may reasonably conclude that
some souls at least go on to function as ‘
Guardian Angels’ and ‘
Spirit Guides’ in order to support and facilitate the Love and Joy actualizations and ongoing developmental journey of
still incarnating associates (albeit orthodox materialists, of course, will never reason so because they are bound by their belief-sets to dismiss any and all presentations of evidence in said regards as
just being hallucinatory constructions which completely unrealistically, as far as they can see, co‑relate inherently meaningless co‑incidences).
Another Love and Joy experiencing and expressing ‘career’ which souls that have developed an interest in and aptitude for doing so
may post‑incarnationally embark on is that of being a mind-over-matter
Master of Design* (which kind of engagement I didn’t appreciate the implications of until I happened to read accounts relating to such a ‘specialization’ in the Chapter 8 of Michael Newton’s book,
Destiny of Souls, titled The Advancing Soul).
Such souls co‑operatively (this is a multi‑soulular☺ enterprise, mind you!) help to mind‑n-spirit-over-matter ‘engineer’ selected aspects of planetary environments as well as of the genetic constellations of various lifeforms which populate them so as to make them
conjointly (i.e. matrixially) capable of sustaining living bodies which, among other things, can effectively host and support the psychospiritual growth of Love and Joy experiencing and expressing souls such as ours. One might say they thereby help to establish ‘rookeries’ for the ‘hatching’ and ‘fledging’ of
Cosmic Consciousness, whereby souls may operationally develop to the point where they consciously apprehend their
Cosmic ‘I’dentity and, as a result of appreciating the fact of their
self’s Kinship and Oneness with (all) Life,
eventually fully execute their own (because it is universal) imperative to
maximally (i.e. as fully as possible) actualize the experience and expression of Life’s Flow of
Love and Joy in relation to and with co‑extant others, as spoken of in this chapter.
[Footnote
*: Speaking of said (plural!) ‘designers’, arguments between traditional Christian-Theology indoctrinated Creationists and traditional Material-Science indoctrinated Darwinians are unresolvable because said ‘doctrines’ derive from incompatible sets of premises (each set being deficient in its own way at that!). As propositionally presented and hopefully convincingly pleaded in relation to Jesus’ Father↔Son paradigm in the preceding chapter, the process of Creation is a multiplistically determined phenom wherein every part dynamically affects The Whole.
Every aspect of – i.e. every ‘element’, ‘column’, ‘row’ and ‘plane’ in – the Matrix (i.e.the
Matriarch) of Life is a functional Love-and-Joy program-code ‘executive’ in its own right! And, although particular co‑motional co‑incidences
may indeed be 'random' (in the sense of not being determined in advance) and so reasonably regarded as being more or less ‘accidental’, the fact is that purely numbers-based ‘natural selection’ deductions deriving from mathematical calculations (that this or that feature of Life had or has a greater probability of contextually ‘surviving’ and ‘propagating’) fall far short of accounting for the obviously intelligent (to say the very least!)
beauty and
whimsy that are gobsmackingly evident in the ‘designs’ of a great many lifeforms, this even in ‘lightless’ and ‘sightless’ contexts!
Mind you, this is
not to say that lifeforms don’t also have many features that are obviously utilitarian, which features therefore may well have been probabilistically ‘selected for’ in the ‘scheme’ of species survival and propagation. But, especially if you are one who is presently so orthodoxly Darwinian that you only see and make sense of things using that particular ideational ‘lens’, I suggest you do an internet search for and then watch videos pertaining to
butterflies,
unusual flowers,
unusual insects,
sea slugs,
sea bunnies,
unusual animals, etc. The shapes and colors of the creatures visible therein will make it strikingly clear to you that
simple ‘survival’ and ‘propagation’ value based selection from among a bunch of randomly generated possibilities could not have been the cause of the clearly artistically composed patterns displayed therein."[end of footnote]
