Where did we come from? Where do we go when we leave this world; and why are we here? These are just some of the questions that bounce around in the vastness of our minds on a daily basis. Everyone of course has their own theories; so here is mine.
We all should know the physical answer to the first question; I hope. Science and Biology tells us that we all came from our parents; but where did our souls originate? I believe that science and the Bible "both" can co-exist on the same page in the scheme of our beginning. I am not a Scientologist, but I do believe that a higher power set everything in motion to create all that is.
God is an unknown "spirit force" which has always been. The Christian beliefs and the ancient Egyptians beliefs are quite similar; both agree that all is needed to start the process of creation is "nothing and spirit." When these two concepts are brought together; all things can be created. The Egyptians believed that creation started with a "movement of spirit."
Just as the Bible states; "God moved upon the face of the waters" and then in the next sentence God said, "let there be light," which proves that this "movement" happened first and then light came immediately after the movement. There are over 900 versions of the Bible in the world and most of them start out with "In the beginning," so everything in the beginning was created first from this movement of God.
"Why are here," is probably another question which boggles our minds. If you have ever asked yourself this question then you believe in the "soul." If you didn't believe in the soul then you wouldn't be reading this article. The soul is an eternal "source of energy" which displaces as it incarnates; or is born. So, our existence on this dimension is all about the development of the soul.
Each day we are faced with numerous situations which provide useful insight for our spiritual development. We come to this dimension with a "Life theme" which is a way to experience and gain insight for the soul; as we go through each event. These "themes" are choices that we made (along with our higher self) when we decided to incarnate on this dimension. These themes may also be a way of helping us overcome problems which we may have neglected in a past life. There are many levels of learning in many dimensions; with each level experiencing things in a different way as we prepare for the ascension of the soul.
It has also been stated that there are many levels in heaven; as Enoch stated
