Do You really want to know the answers?
The highly hailed philosopher, Popeye the Sailor Man, summed it up best when he blurted out, “I y'am what I y'am, that’s all that I ya'am, and that’s all that I ever can be!”
Quite an acute observation regarding the first question for a cartoon character. In truth he probably said it to impress the love of his life, Olive Oil, but it will work for our answer as well.
So, we am what we am, that’s all that we am and that’s all that we ever can be.
Maybe, but not quite. It depends on the answer to the second and third questions and they make things a lot more interesting.
You see mankind, humankind, or people-kind have spent billions of years trying to answer the question where did we come from. We used science, logic, theology, physics, astronomy and magic and still have no clue.
Rather than spend time debating the merits of the various theories and conspiracies about our origin or creation, we can all agree that we are yet to prove how we came to be. In fact, for many in the human race, you are yet to even ask the question.
For all of us who do not know the answer, let me share what Melchizedek said in his Chronicles about the subject. He does not suffer the limitations of a physical body and mind. Existing beyond the time and space of our little world, and the limits of our dimension, he knows what we are yet to discover.
Some of the brightest minds in human history have discovered the Truth, that there is a Supreme Being, a Creator, Source of all that is and will be. You can call it God, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, Lord, or whatever, it is still the Supreme Being.
Abraham, father of mankind, knew it and so did Moses. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Celtics, Druids, Persians and Chinese Taoists knew it along with the founders of Judaism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Buddhism and Islamism. They all recognized some kind of Supreme Being we call the Creator.
That is what we concluded over our billions of years of existence. Melchizedek, from his perspective of being in the company of the Creator, says we are right. He knows what we have never been able to prove to our own satisfaction.
Since science, technology, theology and philosophy can prove nothing about Creation, then let them prove Melchizedek is wrong.
Melchizedek always refers to the Creator as The Unknowable One. For purposes of this discussion, I will use the term God. So Melchizedek says God, at the beginning of time as we know it, created all that is in our world in a gigantic, instantaneous explosion of seven concentric circles of creative thought. All of God’s creation has the ability to recreate itself forever improving, adapting, evolving and regenerating until the end of time. Everything, including us humans, are the creations of God along with the angels, spirits, and whatever else we are yet to discover.
Considering humans, we are a bit more complex than many other creations. At the beginning of time our homo sapiens DNA was created along with everything else but it took a few billion years for earth, our destined home, to evolve from a gaseous state at the moment of creation to a solid planet with natural resources, gravity, and the appropriate atmosphere to support human life.
As for the human creation, there are four unique components to all human life – the Body and Mind from the physical realm - and the Soul and Spirit from the spiritual realm. Add to that the Free Will, another gift from our Creator, and we have the whole human.
God created us out of his Perfect Love, God loves all of his creations, and God will never give up on us no matter what we do with our Free Will. As a result, redemption and salvation are essential elements to the human creation.
God made us, each and every one of us. He created us with the power to procreate, to give God new sons and daughters, in order to assure our continuous existence. At the same time, he created a Soul and Spirit in the spiritual realm to match with the Body and Mind in the physical realm.
Life begins at conception, and the baby becomes complete when the fetus leaves the safety of the womb and enters the world of gravity. At that precise moment the Soul and Spirit from the spiritual realm fuse with the Body and Mind in the physical realm.
We are all children of God. We are all equal in the eyes of God. We all carry the male and female chromosomes for procreation that can produce either gender.
The first generation of humans on earth were seeded throughout the planet once it achieved the right land mass, resources, gravity and atmosphere to support human life.
Every subsequent generation since the beginning of time was born on earth through procreation. Today we are the direct descendants of the original fusing of the Soul and DNA and seeding of the planet Earth billions of years ago.
As I mentioned earlier, there are four distinct components to each human life, each the result of countless miracles of creation. Our DNA carries the physical characteristics of the Body and Mind while the spiritual characteristics come from the Soul and Spirit.
Physical Spiritual
Mind Soul
Body Spirit
That is you, each of you, as God created you. Unlike most of creation, you also possess the gift of a Free Will, the power to make choices. There are times when your Free Will is stymied by the circumstances of the civilization and culture you might be born into which is part of God’s plan for you.
You see, God wants you to succeed. Yet he also knows there are times you cannot succeed through no fault of your own. To accommodate these deviations of life on Earth, it was necessary to give you gifts from both the physical and spiritual realms since the physical gifts are temporary to that particular lifetime while the spiritual gifts are immortal for all of time.
Your Body and Mind are physical manifestations on Earth, limited to the years you remain alive and the opportunities you may discover during that one lifetime in human form.
Your Soul and Spirit are from the Kingdom, outside of time, and they remain immortal through time and space. They are your permanent (lifeline) connection to God.
God knew your spiritual evolution would be difficult. He knew your Free Will was capable of making tragic decisions within a lifetime. He also knew the collective consciousness of mankind, when misled, could capture Souls and lead them on the wrong path on Earth.
Which is why God always considered “slavery” as the most despicable and heinous of all sins of man. Those who would practice, advocate, impose or ignore slavery have deluded themselves into believing they can play God and take control of the lives and freedoms of God’s creations, fellow human beings.
God knew this would happen, and thus allows the Soul to continually return to Earth in human form through reincarnation, in order to complete the Soul’s spiritual awakening to your mission on Earth.
When your Soul manifests in human form on Earth your primary focus is your actions in physical form, subject to the political, cultural, geographic and slavery conditions prevalent at the time.
When you die in physical form your Soul returns to the safety and security of the Kingdom of Heaven where the primary focus of the Soul is preparing for the next physical manifestation on Earth in hopes of finding more favorable conditions amenable to doing God’s work in the Earth plane.
Remember, your Soul is immortal, transcends the limitations of life and death on Earth, preserves memories of your physical lives on Earth when you are back in the Kingdom, and preserves memories of God and the Kingdom when you are incarnated on Earth.
When you are in physical form your innate desire is to fulfill your higher purpose on Earth using all the resources available to you in terms of remembering your spiritual memories of the glory of the Kingdom, and remembering your previous memories of incarnations on Earth.
This includes the reservoirs of knowledge left for us to discover, enlightenment from the (Holy) Spirit within us, access to the angels and many spiritual entities prepared to help us if we call on them, and other gifts we are yet to discover.
God created you. God will never abandon you. And God will never give up on you. Think about it. Thanks to God’s gift of Free Will you can either embrace the Truth of God’s grace or pursue a path to try and disprove the Truth. Ignoring the Truth is not an alternative.
