I've got all kinds of "amens" for you on that last post, Ninurta. You hit so many notes that I am in rune with; in a manner of speaking.
First off, yes, different paths and what works for one does not work for the other. Not everyone was meant to heal others, or search the depths amd heights of the Kingdom of heaven. God himself says that he is the Potter and we are the clay. And that he does make some "pots" for special use. I took that as exactly what you've stated. We all have different paths.
I've always said, "None of us are as smart as all of us." An old saying I picked up somewhere. But yes, I truly learn from listening to other people's stories and hearing their wisdom of those experiences. I do well with teaching myself, sure. But, I am only elevated when I hear someone else's pov or thoughts on it. This is the only reason I utilize this site like this. Everyone here gets me thinking in a new direction. Together we are quite brilliant. This is why it is so important for "evil" to divide us.
You also stated how you learn and re-learn as you grow. I fully agree. Every time I think I've got something figured out, I learn or see some new angle and "adjusting" what I know.
With this reincarnation, I really don't know. All I can say is it is a very powerful feeling. One that I've even had a vision or two about, and it started when I was young. I the vision I can even smell the bombs. I can feel the heat from the blasts around me. This has stuck with me for a long time. I am only now considering the possibility.
I look to the Word of God in all of these matters. I can see where the Bible backs up reincarnation; at least to some extent, and at least for some people. I actually don't think we all reincarnate. But, I don't really know. I can see it as a definite possibility even through the Bible, as well as all of the lost books about God.
I have looked at all of this through the eyes of different cultures. I see the scattered wisdom of the mysteries of God spread out through us all. I tried not to look at any of it from a purely western vantage point. History of the west showed me not to trust what I've been taught here. I looked beyond those borders of religion and geography. I believe God's wisdom is spread out evenly through us all. Mash it together and I think we hit the truth.
