In this foray into metaphysics Dr Kevin McCairn interviews Bruce MacDonald and I join the discussion later on. Bruce was born into a very traditional Catholic family but has been on a spiritual journey of discovery. Bruce MacDonald was born in Ottawa, Ontario. He has a journalism degree from Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario. He has worked in Canada, the United States, and Europe as a technical writer, editor, and designer in the fields of software and telecommunications. In 2014 he moved to the Province of Limon, Costa Rica, where he lives on a small farm in the Talamanca Mountains with his wife, Rosemary. They farm abaca, a male banana plant which produces fiber used to make paper and other products.

Many of these discussions adopt the standpoint that the Old Testament (and indeed the New) are completely fictious without a basis in history.  This is an a priori departure point that excludes the existence of characters such as Moses, Abraham and Christ and is a hypothesis that assumes the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it (a metaphysical fallacy known as begging the question). Many of these objections were already addressed in a previous article Bruce MacDonald and the Black Arts

The ancient texts are difficult to classify because they do not fit in a single category. As Professor Robert Alter demonstrated they are very stylized literature which contain type scenes and literary conventions. Then there is the layer of intertextual structure, which is the interplay and interconnectedness between different texts, where the meaning of one text is shaped or influenced by its relationship with other texts using allusion, allegory, echo, citation.  On top of this we have another layer of informatics as the text encodes alpha numeric values that are related to cosmological cycles.  There is therefore a deep layer of complexity which we dismiss at our peril.

My current working hypothesis is that the the biblical revelation (which in my view goes back some 6,000 years) was necessitated to halt the trajectory of humanity and stop the practice of human sacrifice and to halt the human desire to become gods (transhuman) through technology. That does not mean that we should adopt a Luddite view of technology, or the enlightenment brought by the advances of science as our intellect and all the raw materials we have are gifts from God.  However, they should not be used to challenge God and impose a new reality (virtual or otherwise) on humanity, nor should they be used to create full spectrum dominance that robs humanity of God given freewill and freedom.   If you think that we have somehow left the era of human sacrifice you would be wrong because the philosophy of eugenics which pushes abortion, population control and which is behind the blood letting of the constant wars is a deliberate policy of human sacrifice.  War has become the predominant field of human technological advancement and everything we now use from the invention of the internet to communications to Artificial Intelligence to Biological experimentation is from WAR (=human sacrifice).  And so, the Biblical story that counters human sacrifice and the hubris of wanting to be God and make our own creation is still valid.  If left unchecked, humanity will create hell on earth (and we are getting there real fast).  The biblical revelation (which resulted in the birth of Christianity) restrained the “ancient serpent” or what the apostle   Paul calls the mystery of iniquity (2 Thess 2:7). And it is indeed a “mystery” because it is hidden “occult” and ancient and it corrupts and subverts everything it touches (even Christianity) but it will not succeed.  We are now seeing the re-emergence of the occult which have teamed up with the intelligence services and the military machine to use the current cycle change to bring us a New World Order.   The only religion seen as a threat to this new paradigm is true Christianity.  The eastern religions are not seen as a threat, neither is Judaism (which is essentially Kabbalah or Gnostic) neither is Islam (Judaism lite).   It is only in Christianity that you are told that the root of the problem is human nature and that you cannot save yourself.  We carry the seeds of our own destruction with us.  The “serpent” principle is ancient and found in all religions, moreover it is connected with cyclical destruction (ouroboros).

Reincarnation, resurrection, and consciousness

 Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical belief that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions.  Reincarnation is essentially an Eastern philosophy, and it seems to have been adopted by elements of Judaism.  Many scholars will tell you that the Jews had no belief in personal afterlife with reward or punishment in Judaism before 200 BC.  (Gowan, Donald E.  The Westminster Theological Wordbook of the Bible. Westminster John Knox Press, 2003, p. 188). This of course discounts the fact that even critical scholars date Genesis before the exile (BC 586) and in Genesis the promise to Abraham is personal (Gen 15:8) and the resurrection is implicit as pointed out by Christ to the Sadducees (Matt 22:32) who had no belief in the resurrection. The fact that the very name of God is associated with existence (I Am) and manifestation (I WILL BE) emphasizes this point as well as the throne of God placed in the midst of the living creatures (cherubim) the symbol for creation. The aristocratic priestly class of the Sadducees had therefore a very materialistic view of life denying any afterlife, and this most certainly encouraged them to build dynastic power viewing their progeny as a continuance of their consciousness.

John the Baptist being the reincarnation of Elijah is denied by Christ. He would have been Elijah if they had been willing to receive his message (Matt 11:14) which was one of repentance and preparing for the Messiah.  He came in the power and spirit of Elijah (Lk 1:17) but he was not the reincarnation of Elijah.  After his disciples questioned him whether John was Elijah, they saw a vision known as the transfiguration where Jesus was conversing with Moses and Elijah. (Lk 9:30). The disciples (formerly disciples of the Baptist) perceived this to be a “kingdom” vision and they may have been transported into the future. Whatever the case may be, this put paid to the speculation that John was Elijah (or a reincarnation of Elijah).   The mission of John the Baptist was prophesied in Malachi (https://www.biblaridion.info/Prita_Malachi.png) and typified as Moses and Elijah (the Law and the Prophets) turning the hearts of the children to the fathers (Mal 4:4-5) as in returning the Israelites to the values of the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob).  The mission of John failed and this was a prelude to the Jews rejection of the Messiah  but the mission of Moses and Elijah is picked up again (repeated) in the Apocalypse (see Witnessing prototypes in my PRITA commentary). Suffice to say the mission of Moses and Elijah is a repeat pattern of their message not a reincarnation of the characters themselves. Both Moses and Elijah are known for fighting against false gods.  The gods of Egypt (Gnostic=Kabbalah) and the gods of Canaan (human sacrifice).  They are false routes to enlightenment.

Resurrection

If resurrection is not reincarnation, then what is it?  Scripture speaks of bodily resurrection but what kind of body?  This is a question that the apostle Paul answers by a differentiation analogy between types of celestial bodies and animal bodies and he concludes there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body (1 Cor 15:34-44).  We might answer then that it is a “spiritual body” rather than a natural (materialistic) body and that there are different kinds of bodies.   However, does this clarify the question?  Only if we turn to the resurrected Christ. He possessed a body which suddenly appeared in their midst even though the doors were locked (John 20:19) it was a “body” that could be touched (John 20:27) and handled (1 John 1:1), which could eat even though it required no sustenance (Luke 24:42-43) which they saw go up to heaven (another dimension? Luke 24:5). Which was unrecognisable to them until he revealed himself (Luke 24:31).  This is not a natural material body as we understand it. Moreover, Jesus said that flesh and blood (human nature) cannot inherit the kingdom of God but must be born again (or born from above) through means of water and spirit (John 3:5).  The principle is first the natural, then the spiritual.  Just as a child is born of the waters bursting and the first breath of life so also only death (represented by water baptism Rom 6:3) will result in a spirit birth. As Jesus said. God is Spirit and must be worshipped in Spirit and truth (John 2:24) and the gift of the Holy Spirit in the first century (for the purpose of preaching) was a sign of the powers of the age to come (Heb 6:5).   People who are “born of the Spirit” are likened by Jesus to the wind.  Although the invisible force of the wind cannot be seen its effects are felt, yet no one knows where the wind originates or where it dissipates. The same with Jesus, they did not know from whence he came or wither he was going.  His birth and death were shrouded in mystery. So, it is of everyone born of the Spirit (John 3:8). Jesus committed his Spirit into the Father’s hands (Luke 24:36, cf. Psalm 31:5) which in my view is connected with what science would call consciousness going back to the source of all being.  If consciousness is experience of self and one’s environment, then it ceases with death until such time as the node of consciousness that identifies with self is reanimated and that need not be in a material body. It is a different dimension of existence. Everything lives and moves and has its being in God (Acts 17:28) and therefore the Universe itself could be considered a consciousness field but the remarkable thing is that the ground of all being choses to display himself not as an abstract but as a Father reconciling himself to an alienated world and humanity through his Son who is the manifestation of his express image (Heb 1:3)
