“Homunculus”…I had to look that up 🙂

To clarify, valboski; I don’t have any definite reality on past lives. It SEEMS to make sense to me that we live again and again – after all, the leaves come back, the flowers die and come back – why not us, you know?

No reborn flower is the SAME flower because that flower withered and died but it sure is similar when it comes back in the spring, you know?

Anyway, as re past lives, and living again and again, and us being immortal beings, this is a mere belief of mine because I have no proof that its true and I don’t actually KNOW.

Therefore, my conviction that “what goes around comes around” is limited to THIS lifetime.

I won’t say, I can’t say, that what I might have done wrong in some other life is being revisited upon me in this lifetime. I have no reality on that.

But in THIS lifetime I have definite reality that things I did that were wrong, decisions I made and actions I took that hurt other people have come back to me, and not in a good way.

And conversely I also have reality that decisions I made and actions I took that I knew were the right decisions and actions to take, decisions that at the time were difficult or emotionally painful, or inconvenient or just plain boring, decisions and actions that I KNEW were the correct decisions that I made myself adhere to and do – these came back to me later, sometimes quite suddenly and unexpectedly and sometimes from an entirely different area or from different people- in a good way.

Just my experience in my own life, that’s all. For whatever its worth, I’m somebody who can’t get away with ANYTHING. Seriously.

Well Aqua, I have to relate a little words someone said (sorry can’t remember who)) it went something like this:

When you die & go to Heaven
You Will be Shocked to see who IS there
You will MORE Shocked to see who ISN’T……

I keep those words stored in my “memory banks” (hopefully I won’t lose that)……it makes thinking about it quite funny.

Also along the same line:

The BEST parents can have the WORST kid
The WORST parents can have the BEST kid

Is it the luck of the draw,
Fate
A spin of the wheel
OR perhaps the “old standby”

“God doesn’t give you more than you can handle”……….Well, in all honesty God has overshot the field for me on several occassions.

Yet I muddle through…..sometimes you just HAVE to count on yourself as the ones you THINK you can count on, well they don’t want to be there for the problems & some have their own problems & sometimes simply “disappear”….only to return when the “good times do”…….

Ahhh….as they say….Life Goes on….so we make the best of it.

I feel David M is ALREADY being punished in a way….just WHO can he REALLY TRUST……..NO ONE really. He has to constantly look over his shoulder, drink himself into oblivion to get through a day.

Does he sleep well at night, only if he drinks himself into a stupor….his dreams must be horrific. To lay there staring at the ceiling wondering when “THEY” will come to get him….lock him up, throw away the key……..

JUSTICE SHALL BE SERVED…IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!

Stay well my friend, my best to you & your family!

Frankly, nobody gives a crap about “past life” overts……….at least, I don’t see anybody doing conditions or amends for anything they did that came up in auditing from a “past life”………….except, of course, victims of rape or abuse by $cientologists who had “pulled it all in…..”

So……the homunculus is safe from retribution. But…..if you believe in Karma……………that’s a different story…….

Balletlady, I don’t really know, but I’ve always had the belief that we ALWAYS get back what we give out, eventually, in some way 🙂 Appearances frequently to the contrary though 🙂

Superb comment, Balletlady. Sums it up.

The parents are blindly loyal, like in many other religions where you are “taught to obey without question”…………….I’d mention ultra conservative types of religion thru “mega churches”…………where you follow the “tenets & indoctrination”……….OR ELSE.

Many don’t have the strength to leave all they’ve ever known, like the FLDS women who are still fully bound to their “supreme leader” who now sits in prison BUT is STILL running the show from his prison cell.

The US Government made an attempt to “SAVE” these women from being under the control of their husbands. What happened was a HUGE FLOP as the women demanded to be returned to the only life they’ve ever known.

I’ve said it here many times: “You cannot save someone who does not want to be saved”…………….the minor children are under the control of their parents. Only when they reached 18, can they ATTEMPT to leave…& then be disconnected/cut off from the ONLY THING THEYVE EVER KNOWN.

Under educated with little to no viable job skills……no outside contact on how to LIVE in the world beyond the bubble of belief….it’s a frightening prospect many cannot handle., especially when you have been monitored daily your entire life.

No CRITICAL THINKING on how to handle life outside is terrifying…………KUDOS to all of you who have managed to make your way in the world & survive.

FREEDOM IS A GOOD THING

Sometimes you get back back you give out…….what goes around comes around….

David M wants to know: “what ARE YOUR CRIMES………………..
.
in reality, he’s got a few more decades to live if what has been reported to be his high intake of alcohol doesn’t kill him first…………….then……………….

A “higher power” will be asking HIM:

“David M……………..” WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES…….”

I hear you, Jere. But here’s another way of looking at it:

If you believe that we live again and again – and I do, what can I say, I do believe that, so sue me 🙂 – if its true that we are immortal beings who reincarnate lifetime after lifetime – then I wouldn’t want to be the being that this lifetime has the nametag David Miscavige. God no. Imagine what he has to “clean up”…I’m shuddering. OMG, what he has done, the people he has killed, harmed…all of this, someday,to be confronted…OMG.. I wouldn’t want to be the being that is him, uh uh. Underneath the perfect hair and the capped teeth and the immaculate Egyptian cotton shirts, there’s filth. Real, yucky, gummy, filthy filth. Many layers. Endless layers. Ugh.

Its tragic and a travesty of justice, what is perpetrated on these kids. And yet, the parents believe they couldn’t in a million years steer their kids in a better direction. Unless they’re rich, or have themselves some kind of business where the kids can work and that they eventually take over – barring these exceptions, the Scientology parents condemn their own kids to economic hardship and all the rest of the struggle and lack of respect that goes with being uneducated and unemployable in this country. And these parents do it with the best of intentions. Therein lies the tragedy. The road to hell, etc., etc.
