The lily pond puzzle

In a pond, a rose grows. With each day doubled the number of roses.
On the 100th day the pond is completely covered with roses.
Now the interesting question: "On what day is the pond halfway with roses covered"?
The surprising answer: It takes 99 days to cover the pond halfway with roses. For the other half it takes only one day to completely cover the pond with roses.

Can this puzzle be transferred on the current state of our civilization?

Escalation processes are final controlled, they lead to the end.

If the answer to the riddle can be transferred, that does not ensure that the earth goes down, but it could great affect changes give rise to a better world.
 
If we are afraid of the future, we do not know, that offers us a new life, under conditions and opportunities that are new to us, but since time immemorial our Creator holds in His universal divine law that we, through our fear incessantly, consciously or unconsciously hurt.

About humility

Humility is the key that unlocks higher worlds; it is surrounded with magical power, although the truly humble like the little are aware.

Humility brings its own reward and radiant with experience the with ye blessed with a gloss the spirit beings as fragrance and color, as euphony and very refreshing refreshment that trickles through the spirits with relish, irradiated and heated through, wherever they encounter a truly humble beings.

Modesty, and even more than this, humility is what important is.

Only humility will win selflessness and sacrifice.

Great souls are filled with a spirit of sacrifice, which is for a usual mortal almost unbelievable.

True humility was is and remains property and characteristic of all who seek the divine in one of its many forms.

True humility closes in fact the sky. She is the sister of selflessness.

Meister Eckhart: The less I spreading in our hearts, the more can penetrate God there and dwell therein. Humility is the sacrifice of the ego that brings the generous man; more generous and generous he is, the deeper reaches his humility.

How to dissolve the law of karma?

Through disobedience of the laws of God, mankind has created its astral law. This law says: The one who disregards the divine law will suffer what he has sown. No man can flee from his own judgement, from the effects of his own causes. Only repentance, asking for forgiveness, forgiving and also making amends - insofar as this is still possible - cleanses the soul from sin. This means: Every cause not atoned for will have to be borne. This law, the law of cause and effect, also called law of karma, is valid for all men, no matter what their religion, confession or philosophy may be.

Christians had the mission of dissolving the astral law of cause and effect, of sowing and reaping. Unfortunately, they failed to fulfil this mission, by their negative behaviour and the violation of the divine laws. The consequence is that this astral law - what you sow you will reap - is still in force on earth.

The children of Israel did not accept and receive Christ, when He incarnated as Christ in Jesus. For He wanted to fulfil the Mission of Redemption together with them. They did not accept the gift of grace of the Christ of God.  Since the children of Israel did not listen, the plan of God was delayed.

Let us remember the western nations. They are Christians who are supposed to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Let us look at the history of Christianity.

Jesus gave the Christians the task to carry His word of love and truth into the whole world. What did the church authorities do instead of this? They mocked and jeered at their Lord and God with their words and deeds. A million fold murder of those of different faiths, of those defamed as heretics and witches.

As a result of this bloody church history, many people and, in the end, many religions see Christendom as bloodthirsty people who have carried power and terror, instead of love and freedom, into the world.                       

The church authorities have dismissed the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, the Sermon on the Mount, as utopian. If they themselves no longer believe what was revealed to them by God nearly two thousand years ago, how can they ask one single person in the world to keep the laws of God - either the Ten Commandments or the Sermon on the Mount?

All well-known politicians who call themselves Christian have explained that one cannot practise politics according to the Sermon on the Mount. Thus they contradict Christ, who as Jesus of Nazareth taught the opposite. They do not have to live as Christians. Anyone who wants to live as non-Christian can do it; he should only openly admit it and no longer misuse the term "Christian" for unchristian goals.   

Jesus of Nazareth taught, "He who lives by the sword will perish by the sword." He also said: "Love your enemies and do well to those who hate you:" Those who call themselves Christians must accept the teachings of Jesus of Christ. To accept a teaching means to follow it.

Christian Faith and the Wheel of Reincarnation

The question of reincarnation was self-evident to many great poets and philosophers of the western world like Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Grillparzer, Plato, Kant, Schopenhauer, Voltaire and many others. The knowledge of the reincarnation of the soul is also self-evident to the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism, for Chinese universalism and for the old Egyptian religion. The thought of reincarnation is represented in all large esoteric groups like the followers of Rudolf Steiner, Theosophists, Rosicrucians, the Lorber groups and many others.

Which spiritual laws are connected with reincarnation? Does the teaching of reincarnation answer, for example, the questions concerning the law of karma, the law of cause and effect? Does it also possibly answer the questions concerning the fate of a person, divine justice and the questions concerning life after death? Why is the memory of our former earthly lives hidden from us? Are there differences in the knowledge held by the Christian and Eastern religion regarding reincarnation? Do these create a better understanding of God, a better understanding for everything related to creation and to the purpose of our lives? It has been proven that the knowledge of re-embodiment was common to the first Christians.

The Bible has often been revised but we are still told about reincarnation in a few passages. For example in Math.16:14 and Mark 8:27-28, where Jesus asks the question: "Who do the people say that l am?" In answer to this, the people told Him that some people think He is John the Baptist who has returned (this means, reincarnated) and others think He is Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the great prophets. In any case, the knowledge of the repeated earthly embodiment of the soul was also widespread in Christianity in the first few centuries of our chronology.

Something decisive occurred which led to the beginning of the condemnation and removal of the teaching of reincarnation from the teachings of the church. It was the Synod of the Eastern Church in the year 543 in Constantinople. There the teaching of reincarnation  was rejected with nine anathemas. Anathemas are bans or curses. This occurred accordingly to the instructions of the East Roman Emperor, Justinian l, who considered himself the supreme ruler of the church.

The following is one of the bans: "If a person states or is of the opinion that the souls of people have been pre-existent, inasmuch as they were former spiritual beings and holy powers who became bored with God's presence and turned to evil, for which the divine love became cold in them and they received the name "souls", being sent down into a human body as punishment, he is banned". This means that he is cursed.

Expressed more simply, this means that the Catholic Church teaches: "He who believes that the souls of people have already existed in earlier times as pure beings of the heavens and who have fallen from God and who then incarnated in human bodies, is cursed".

Emperor Justinian ordered these bans. The Synod of the Eastern Church in the year 543 A.D. confirmed them and ten years later Pope Vigilius signed these bans, even though they were not dealt with in the general council of Constantinople in 553 A.D. (according to council reports).

Emperor Justinian's personality, the general war conditions in the Fast Roman Empire and the threatening danger of an additional domestic political-religious war in Palestine, formed the political motive for the removal of the knowledge of reincarnation.

New dogmas had to be created and old ones extended, in order to fill the gap left by the damnation of reincarnation and in order to solidify the teaching about a single life of a human being. These dogmas concerned especially original sin, the creation of the soul at the time of conception, mortal sin, judgement day, purgatory and eternal damnation. At the same time this underlined the need for priests as mediators for the salvation of the people because this entire teaching system could never have functioned without them.

So, the Christians who lived in the first five centuries knew about the pre- existence of the soul. About repeated incarnations and the return of all souls to the pure spiritual heavenly worlds.

We possess the immortal soul in the innermost being of our human body. It is a fine-material body which was once at home in the pure heavenly worlds as a pure spiritual being, in unity with God, our origin.

What has become of this knowledge that was drawn from the first original texts of Christianity?
