Hello everyone, here is a worldly monk post that I just figured out today. The early Old Testament revelation of God is really a gift and I am thankful for it. I was just thinking about a fly I rescued from my coffee and realized something about God’s important introduction as being a good God. That is what a lot of the commandments reveal about him, and it is such good news. The thing I figured out is that reincarnation might be tricky in a way that God has established he isn’t. God shows himself as the source of all honesty, and having your grandmother come back into your life as a coyote who gets into the chicken house isn’t that straightforward. It also could drive people crazy to wonder who’s who. That’s all I will say, this post could be much expanded like a lot of the other posts on this blog. The fact is that reincarnation creates a certain possibility or probability of disguises. It would be dangerous on many levels and it would cause people to have to perpetually guess what’s really true. Actual truth would be so far from what is apparent that people could justify all kinds of mistreatement or overvaluing in idolatrous ways. Maybe this is what has happened in some places where people suspected reincarnation. The class-based abuse and ideas that an animal might be divine and a person might be a piece of garbage probably have played out in terrible ways, and maybe in patterns that are actually predictably sinful and self serving. In fact, the abuses might be a hint that most people knew better on some levels all along.
