We’ve all experienced it. Life is going along rather uninvolved in our part and then suddenly…your attention shifts, your body adjusts, your memory kicks in and you recognize that what is happening at this precise moment already, somehow beyond your comprehension, has occurred. Deja vue. Then the veil of the dream evaporates.
Incarnation is the deja vue of the divine. The Creator so loved his creation that He became His creation’s highest achievement – human. Then the veil ripped apart forever affecting all humanity.
Can mankind recall the divine nature it was created as? This question slaps the face of anyone who believes man is anything but divine. Being made in the image in not the same as made in the likeness as history has well documented. When God’s sole description is wrapped up in the word of Love, humanity has fallen far short to such a lowly status. How many times, under so many extenuating circumstances has mankind failed to recognize their true divine calling?
70, maybe 80, years to live a life worthy of… what? Okay, you made a mistake or two, or maybe a helluva lot more, but does that disqualify you from… Grace. Never. Never from grace.
What I’m about to say I cannot prove. There is no evidence to back up what follows. But sometimes you have to make a declaration simply because…
If incarnation is the deja vue of the divine, wouldn’t re-incarnation be the deja vue of those created in the image and likeness of the divine? If the realization of divinity escaped the thoughts of humanity, wouldn’t Love make every effort to secure that realization over however many attempts it required?
Before you make the fundamental claim of Heb 9:27 that man is appointed once to die, recognize that there are example throughout the bible of humans dying more than once (i.e. Lazarus, the son of the widow of Naim, Tabitha). So, let’s not attempt to block any thoughts about the possibilities using one verse when there are more which counter its claim. Obviously, this verse in the book of Hebrews is addressing something entirely different than what I’m looking at.
What do you do when you recognize that you’ve been here before without actually having been here? Is it possible that the incarnation of Christ was simply the prelude to the re-incarnation of Christ across all humanity until we grow up into fullness of the body? Does 70 to 80 year complete a growth cycle or is it merely the pattern of evolving a seed which is planted and grows new fruit? How is it possible to have wisdom beyond our age unless the number of celestial cycles wasn’t the issue?
How does someone grow up into Christ who makes a death-bed confession and passes into the arms of the Lord within the hour? How, pray tell, do any of us grow into Christ in a single life time? We can’t even master the single commandment given to us to love our neighbors and enemies as ourselves. Wouldn’t it seem reasonable, even logical under the nature of Grace, that mankind would be able to achieve his highest potential, ultimately, regardless of a limited duration upon this rock even if it required multiple iterations?
What if every deja vue you’ve ever experienced is merely a graduation ceremony of every incarnation Christ has accomplished within your eternal life? Would you seek after another moment if you knew you’ve been here before?
