Past Life Progression

Toddling through the marvels and madnesses of our personal histories we have the opportunities to find our spiritual roots in the solutions life presents us. Spirituality roots us in freedom. As our souls grow out and deepen inside us we become, bit by tiny bit, freer within our souls. This spirituality comes in many shapes and colors over times and places.

Judaism and Christianity came up with the idea that time is linear. Christians who are waiting for the second coming of Christ are behind the eight ball. The first coming of Christ was the Nativity, otherwise known as Christmas. The second coming of Christ was the resurrection, also known as Easter or Pascha. Anything past that is the third coming of Christ and so on in the numerical sequence. It is illogical in linear thinking to repeat the second coming of Christ.

We can, however, be aware of the fact that in different places in creation, in different universes and galaxies as messy as they are, something which may occur in one form in our time and space already has occurred or has yet to be somewhere else. The particular universe in which we live has never been neat and tidy. There is no order to the galaxies within each universe by dint of the fact that somewhere, somehow, there is an imperfection. It may be a tiny imperfection like a speck of dirt on a table or it may be much larger like a sloppily tied tie. Above and beyond that it can be as exciting as the branches on a tree growing out every which way with no apparent order.
