The issue of whether mortal beings are here on Earth to live just once, or to live one life at a time, is also another issue that your race has struggled with for far too long. Except for the people among you who hold the view that once your body dies, that you life is finished completely, most of you living and dying on the face of the Earth agree that you are spiritual beings, and that your identity survives after your mortal bodies dies. But where you break up into two opposing points of view about this question - is on the issue of whether or not you return to Planet Earth to live as mortal beings in future lifetimes. Or after your body dies, whether you go to a place of paradise called a heaven or a prison called a hell – and for an eternity at that!

On this thorny question the three main religions that have been brought from the east to the western hemisphere, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, hold the belief that human beings only live once, and that when they die they have to face a judgement by their Creator, where they will be sent down to hell or taken up to heaven for eternity. Then there is the rest of the major world religious, at least some of them, which also are found in the eastern hemisphere, which hold the belief that human beings are spiritual beings who live on Earth over and over again, so that they can develop into the spiritual beings that they truly are. Over a billion Hindus hold this belief, as well as people from some other religions. In fact, the Tibetan Buddhists choose their new Dalai Lama each time the former one has died, by searching for the reincarnation of the child whose spirit he returns to Earth to live inside of as a newborn baby boy. And once that child is found, and is able to give very specific, and hard, evidence that he truly is the reincarnation of that previous Dalai Lama, then he is declared to be the next leader of this ancient and beautiful faith.

Do you live only one life as a mortal being, and then face a judgement by your Creator, who will send you to a hellish fire of brimstone and damnation forever, once you are judge to be someone who is not a follower of Jesus The Christ, the only child of this God; or are you spared and taken into heaven as one of the righteous ones – as Christianity teaches? Or do you meet the same dammed fate if you happen to be a Muslim, and you are judge by Allah, your Creator, and sent to that hellish place, or save and taken into paradise? That is the question that most people living in the western hemisphere have been forced to find an answer for over the last two thousands or so years.

Well, let me ask these same believers who share this brutal view of life, and especially of the even more harsh view of one’s afterlife, these questions. Have you taken the time, and stop to really consider this belief that you hold about everyone having only one life to live, and of everyone facing a judgement at the end of that life, which will send that person straight down to hell or lift them right up into paradise to be with their Creator? You owe it to yourself, and to the same “God” who created you, to really take a close and careful look at this terrifying belief that you hold, and hold onto.

Can you tell me what God in their right mind would chose to judge the life of any of their creations, and make a decision to send them to any place to live for eternity – based on that person having lived only one lifetime? And what happens if the life that this person lives is as brief as a child’s, or even as short as a teenager’s – how will your God then make the decision to judge whether this baby girl, or this adolescent boy, or this teenager, will be sent to a prison or to a paradise for all eternity based on that one life of living. What would your God do with a child who has taken the life of another child, for instance, as children are now doing today?

And what will your God, or your Allah, or you Yahweh, do with human beings who have spent their loves giving to the needy, helping the poor, respecting others whom they meet, and showing humanity to their fellow human beings – and who have done so because they truly care about others? But who are not members of your Jewish faith or your Muslim faith or your Christian faith? Will your God or your Allah or your Yahweh judge those beautiful human beings as being unfit to join His chosen ones in paradise or heaven – and send them straight to hell – because they have a different faith than His "chosen ones", or because they chose to serve another God while they lived as mortal beings? And if your “God” was to condemn these caring and thoughtful and helpful beings to a life of eternal hell, what would that reveal to you about the kind of God that you have spent your life serving, and worshipping; and still spending your time and energy telling others that they too should join your faith and come to serve your God?

These are just some of the questions that this God would encourage you to ask yourself, if you happen to have a faith that shows a portrait of a God who would be considered as brutal, as twisted, and as sadistic, as the God of these three major world religions are often portrayed to be by their followers and worshipers. You may not have the courage to ask these questions of yourself as yet, in an honest, open, and clear minded manner. But sooner or later, you will have to, because this view that you hold of the life that you are here to live, and the future that you will have after you have finished living it, is only causing you to become so afraid of living, and so afraid of dying, that you end up not even living at all – for that entire lifetime.

It’s time for you to remove the wool of fear, and anxiety, that your religious tyrants have been using to cover your inner eye for far too long. Once you start to do that, you will begin to see that the distorted view that you have been given of your life as a mortal being, and of your future afterwards, has served to rob you of the very opportunity that you came to this Earth to have this lifetime. And always to deny you of the lessons you are here on Earth to learn about yourself as a spiritual being, who is living mortal lives, one life at a time, so that you can slowly but surely develop into the living and divine image of the Gods who gave you that immortal life in the first place. It’s only by coming to Earth time and time again, as I have revealed to you before, and as others have also done, that you are able to live and learn and grow and develop into the responsible, respectful, and impeccable spiritual being that you keep returning to this planet to learn to become.
