Dear Friends,
It seems to me, we aren’t a robot that exists purely on the material plane, we’re more like the tip of an iceberg that projects into the material world. The vast majority of who and what we are remains in the spiritual realm. Our consciousness however, is held in the material world, else we would leave it quickly. Whether voluntarily, accidentally, or by our vessel becoming a meal for a consciousness that isn’t aware of the spiritual realm. If true, this suggests consciousness is not local, the brain is more of a work station than a server, and we’re here for a purpose. Why else would a supernatural being descend into the material realm? Who knows for sure? We may be robots for all I know. I do however, strongly intuit that we are more, and the world is more, than our senses tell us.
The reasons we’re here could be manifold. Understanding what we might have thought when we were only supernatural beings, existing on a spiritual plane, is an act of conjecture. Because we have no context. We might have wanted to sort ourselves out. The material world certainly does that. We might have wanted experience? Maybe there’s a supernatural war on all planes and we’re here as warriors in it? Perhaps living in the material world is a right of passage? Plus, it gives everyone, even the least of us, a reality that exceeds our imagination of them. The reasons an ascended being might want to project it’s consciousness into a material plane are endless. We can agree though, if they did… the world as we know it, and we ourselves would be the probable result. Which isn’t proof, it’s a lack of falsification.
Knowing we’re both more than we perceive is liberating, scary and humbling. Humbling because once our consciousness is retracted from this plane, we’ll have to discuss our actions to others in the supernatural realm. Scary because who knows what awaits us as ascended beings? Moreover, it’s liberating, since it validates us and our existence. If you think about it, taking into consideration that we are intentionally not omniscient and there are things inexplicable even in the material world. Then there’s the hard problem of human and indeed animal consciousness. How can material be conscious? This hypothesis covers the bases, is as valid as any other, and isn’t falsifiable. I suspect that what we understand as a person, is only the tip of an iceberg like entity, that largely exists in other planes.
This idea also means that the lowliest among us is a godlike being in his or her own right. Much greater than we could imagine since our perception is stuck in the material world. They could be far greater than us and chose more burdens because of it. Which would make looking down on the poor, sick and retarded, an act of supreme folly. If we’re far more than our limited perceptions can recognize, then the meanest, dirtiest, and most downtrodden human being deserves our respect. Justifying the Christian ethic and especially the Golden Rule. Because, how else would ascended beings merely projecting a fraction of themselves into the material plane, treat each other? It’s important to understand that there’s more than we can see in this self imposed darkness, even with the flashlights of science and religion.
If this is even close to true, we should try to live a life that befits a supernatural being of great power and importance. Unless you can think of a way to falsify the idea? Other than with presumption. I can’t prove we are the tip of a supernatural iceberg, just as others can’t prove we’re a machine that thinks its alive. Yet the robot hypothesis is falsifiable. By every single documented miracle that has ever happened. Moreover they’re still happening in our hospitals every day. People survive terminal this or that to the astonishment of doctors. Who chalk it up to luck. If you agree it behooves you to act it. Act like you are a supernatural being that’s here on holiday. Make great memories that you can share when you get home. But… what happens on Earth, doesn’t necessarily stay on Earth, it may reverberate.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
