The idea that we are perfect is just another weird idea pulled out
of a blue sky. As we look around at our lives, the mistakes we
make, and the learning taking place, that is what is going on. If
we look at the divorces, the financial mistakes, the relationship
errors, the ordinary physical mistakes, there is no way that you
can describe what we do as perfect. And this is similar in the
afterlife also. People take mistaken beliefs into BSTs and keep
them. They also sometimes take poor attitudes with them, that don't
change without further learning.
To call us perfect is a misuse of the English language. If that is
supposed to be a description, it does not fit what it presumes to
describe. It is not the right word for the obvious situation.
Also to say there is no right or wrong, that is just a way to get
along in a controversial situation without too much rancor.
It is appropriate for a field like this where it is difficult to
establish more than a few things.
But those of us who are in pursuit of serious demonstrable
knowledge, there is such a thing as right or wrong.
We want to build up a professional body of knowledge, so that you
could teach it or write it up. We don't want to wallow around
forever in a great big mess of mere opinion.
Science has been described as a collection of corrected mistakes.
And when it is found out that something is wrong, it is just as
much a part of progress as is finding out that something is right.
A recent post was about the Vatican saying that the Bible may have
errors, that is progress. Finding errors has been for some years
for me, a key clue to evaluate sources. Once you see what you can
decide to your own satisfaction is an error, you can disentangle
yourself from what you can't make any sense out of. When I was in
Ufology, all sorts of unbelievable things had to be sorted through.
When I found an error, that was a very helpful clue.
It was a breakthrough for me when a voice turned up in the Leslie
Flint material, which described that there where spirits out there
who wanted to be helpful, but they themselves were not enlightened
to the higher level. I now did not have to worry that much about
what they had to say.
I sort of grew up in the area of the paranormal on the idea that we
down here are intentionally limited, and those up there have the
real knowledge that is way beyond ours. Now, I don't think so. I
don't think that once you are dead, now you know better. I think
the gurus up there can be just as nutty as the ones down here. They
take their nuttiness with them when they cross over.
Also, I think that they can get into pockets of isolation, or
ghettos, just as we can down here. Like Berkeley, CA is a liberal
ghetto, and so is the academic world some kind of a ghetto. Down
here we now have the internet where we can check all kinds of
things. And I wonder how well knowledge is accessed up there. Can
they access knowledge in a few minutes, the way we can at a
keyboard?
We already know about BSTs where unenlightend ideas continue. I
don't think channeling necessarily comes from enlightened areas,
just different areas that may or may not represent better
understanding.
I am beginning to put a higher value on Earth life, thinking it is
not merely a temporary use of a body, but an important place to
develop knowledge and discuss ideas, and an augmentation alongside
of other conditions of the soul. I am wondering if the way we
collect knowledge in forums could sometimes be better than merely
flitting about the universe as a free soul.
