Great spirits who reincarnated on Earth

by CR (036)

Great spirits, like Jesus and others, who incarnated on Earth  to help human progress did so impelled by their sense of duty, not to please anybody's will, much less the will of an imaginary heavenly father.

On the spiritual level, there are neither parents nor children. What really exists is an enormous community of spirits in an infinite evolutionary scale, in which all beings, all without exception, have a common origin: Creative Force or Universal Intelligence.

On the planets scattered over space there are - using small numbers to facilitate human comprehension -   millions and millions of spirits at each level of evolution.

Even here on Earth, there have been spirits of above-average evolution which have incarnated to help the evolution of humanity. Many others of the same evolutionary level are spiritually active in other regions of the Universe.

The more advanced the spirit is, the greater its desire to help its fellow spirits to advance.

Hence the reason for those more evolved spirits to voluntarily and with some sacrifice, submit themselves to incarnating in school-planets like Earth, when life in their far more advanced spiritual worlds, although always laborious, takes place in an environment of incomparably better conditions. 

It is a serious error, and also a sign of ignorance about spiritual life, to deny Jesus the merit of having achieved his spiritual evolution at the cost of great struggles, work, suffering, disincarnations and reincarnations, and to ascribe his qualities, magnanimity and character to a supposedly divine affiliation.

Who is worthier, the leader who rose to a dignified position by his own efforts and merit, after having climbed all the steps leading to full experience and wisdom, or the one who somehow stepped into a high position on the basis of his ancestors' hierarchy?

The worshippers of Jesus, under the influence of their deistic concept, stubbornly classify him in the latter category. For them, the merit of such a wonderful and advanced spirit lies more in its affiliation to an imaginary father-god than in its own merits. Nevertheless, Jesus owes to himself all that he achieved and is still achieving in order to enlarge his valuable spiritual assets.
