Hello Kristy ..
The limitation of human possibility is what we believe in. If we
remove the boundaries of belief in what is possible, then everything
is possible.
For example, is you were born with wearing a set of red lenses over
your eyes, then everything that you saw as "normal" would be very
different for someone who was born with a set of blue lenses over
their eyes.
Christianity, if held on to as a belief, is like a set of lenses.
Buddhism, if held onto as a belief, is like another set of lenses.
When a person suspends all beliefs of what is, and what is not,
according to their own perception, then things can appear very
differently.
Its a bit like walking around a dim room with a set of sunglasses
on, and then taking them off .. things appear much brighter and
you can see things that were not previously perceptible.
One way of looking at your question is to examine human fetal
development from conception .. the various stages that the evolving
fetus goes through .. and when you compare that to the
anthropological model for the evolution of the human being, you may
find that there are some very striking similarities ..
and to go one step further, to look at the comparative DNA's of
"all creatures great and small" you will find that there are even
greater "similarities".
To take this one step further, you have to look at the difining
origins of the "Christian" concept of "god" and what the word means ..
and to hold onto that definition is to deny the existence of
everything that is not "Christian" - and to elevate "Christianity"
to some form of "supremacist" ..
.. maybe that's going a little too deep for you .. but when you
look closely at the meaning of the word "god" and the origins of the
word - both within Christianity and the English Language,
you can say that this "god" is the "creator of everything" but, if
you do that, then you are denying any possibility of your having a
personal choice or free will - or, in fact, of ever changing who
you are without the permission of this "greater being".
Having been through this question myself, I know the battles you
may choose to experience if you hold on to this "belief". On the
other hand, when you suspend any belief in "god", then anything
is possible.
Yes - there is a "god" - the one created in the minds of human kind.
BUT, this is NOT the creative impetus for all life. The English
language provides limitations here, especially as we have to use
words to define "life" and "existence" in spiritual terms which
(for the most part) found their way into the English Language
from Roman Catholic Latin Doctrine.
One step at a time .. if you can allow the limitations of Christianity
to be peeled away, then you will find that there are some parallels
between this Religion and others ..
but, just remember, Life existed in Human Form at least 75,000 years
before the edvent of Christianity - and this civilisation is still
alive and well, walking the face of this planet, and carrying the
"spirituality" of their own "dream-time" - and living it.
The funny thing is, if yo read the bible - not as a literal text,
but as a metaphor_beyond_doctrine, you will find in it the whole
story of evolution written in metaphor. To do this, you will need
a good concordance to look up the meanings of various words and
phrases and their origins.
When you look at these origins and the other meanings, the only
conclusion is that what is preached_from_the_pulpit_on_sunday
is an outright lie denigned to manipulate and control human kind
beyond their potential of self-determination.
Bottim line - you cannot believe in the Christian "God" and Kundalini
at the same time - the two are irreconcilable - as many of the
great mystics of the ages have well documented.
Having said that, I do understand your predicament ..

I think that we all come from the same energy but havent really decided the rest I do think we were all created by Higher Source. Do you think we evolved from these things and just keep evolving higher and higher into a sophisticated spiritual being? I am leaning towards that but I am also curious do you think that spirits have gender and do animals stay animals in every lifetime or can they be human? LOL ok these are my questions Im in the mood for deep thought lately. I still havent decided what I believe yet.
