Reincarnation: Is there an advantage for non-believers?

I thought sin nature was ego and salvation was inherent divine spark. Just introduced a bit differently.

salvation is healing, forgiveness of self and other. seeing your inner spark and knowing you are love inside.

This is a great analogy, I love it.

Depends on whom you ask.

[Oceania]

ask yourself.

[Monica]

Haha, ok. Well what I meant was that Evangelical Christians have their own definition of 'sin' and 'salvation.'

I don't even believe in either of those, if I ask myself.

[Oceania]

it only matters what you believe.

You are correct that as with any language (related to religion, science, or just general use), words change meaning, and obtain connotations that they once didn't, and lose meaning that they once had (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_shift). This is why it's difficult to discuss topics with Ra, when they are used to telepathy, and we have to communicate with such nebulous words.

Sin, in Greek, once meant "to miss the mark," meaning that one didn't reach where one was aiming. That takes on all kinds of connotations of the understanding of polarity within itself. Since then, I've heard (IMHO well-thought-out) Christians redefine the term as "that which takes your mind away from God." There's some benefit to that definition as well, as long as the person defining it doesn't then define for others how their mind works. Finally, you'll see the least thoughtful Christians say that sin is "What God says is wrong" without any connotation or understanding of how they then have to interpret for God. Worseover is the fact that there are actually those that know that means that they are the ones interpreting for God, and knowing that we are all God's, that it means that if they do not let that last fact known, they are technically correct that they can define what is sin for others (STS, anyone?).

Then the concept of salvation is complicated, even within our group. How do you define salvation as a wanderer? For 3D folks, is it moving to 4D in the harvest? For us, is it moving up densities? Is it the ability to return to the Source? Is it the ability to break through the veil? What does salvation mean to you?

These terms are not defined, even for us. As part of the veiling, we have to use spoken and written language for communication, this accelerates the need to understand terms from different points of view. This is a benefit and a detriment at the same time, depending on how we use this catalyst for understanding.

So, going back to the point of the OP. Those who have said that lack of belief in reincarnation is a means of accelerating those who haven't been polarizing fits nicely with how I've believed (or been told by my HS) for years. You'll notice that those that use that information to polarize, once they get beyond a certain point, begin to look deeper anyway. Is it necessary to maintain "approximations" for awhile until enough understanding is made before removing the approximation and move to more of reality. We learn this lesson in the sciences all the time, when we start with a model, and learn how the model operates for a long time, before we then learn that the model is incorrect and needs to be modified. This is shown by scientists moving into an area of study, and is also used by teachers who teach their students, because humans learn by associations.

So why not give a simplistic association of "one-life." Afterall, we only have one life with the cards that we were dealt. After that, we have to move to new cards, even if it's still us playing and our pot is built up of hands we have previously played. During this life, the focus is on the game in front of us. However, we know how risky we can be, based on our knowledge of our pot. If we have a small pot, then our ONLY focus is on what's in front of us, and nothing else.

Cayce said sin is knowlege not applied. Thanks for
Your interesting comments.
