ne way that role playing would help on the spiritual path would be to pretend that you are the Creator. This would help a person understand why reincarnation is the only logical way to structure the universe.
As the Creator God you have this beautiful world down there and you people it with your children. They need to have lesson after lesson to understand what it is that you want them to learn. Would you educate your child with one month in the first grade and call it education? That is the equivalent of what one life on the earth plane would be.
As the Creator God above the little world, you can see that one lifetime has hardly scratched the surface of the experiences your children need to have. Now, are you going to create new children each time one died? Are you going to say: "Too bad little one; you really didn't learn all you needed to learn and all that I wanted you to learn. You blew it! Sorry, but that was your only chance. Yes, you realize now how you could have done it differently. You're much wiser now and would really like to try again, but sorry, I've just created a new spirit and it's his turn now. You'll just have to go to the heaven that I've set aside for you as a final resting place for dead spirits. You'll never get another chance, but don't feel bad. Nothing more will ever be demanded of you or asked of you. You have no more worries or responsibilities, so just go to your heaven and lie around."
Is this what you would do if you were the Creator God? If you became attached to the spirits and really learned to love them, would you continually bring into creation new spirits and condemn the first to death? Even though you were learning yourself by watching them struggle, don't you think you would be inclined to let them try again? After all, they did promise to do better the next time and they really do deserve another chance. That way you don't have to keep creating new ones all the time. Let's keep the original a while longer and see what they can really accomplish if they have more chances.
In fact, let's draw up a lesson plan and set rules and regulations for our little world and a time outline, a loose outline, as to the stages of progress we expect of them. Wouldn't you, as the Creator God, then have a better feeling about your world? Wouldn't you have a better feeling about its place in the universe as a growing, budding flower that would become beautiful when it finally came of age and graduated into the next realm of reality as a sparkling jewel?
You, in your "let's pretend" role of Creator God, soon begin to realize that reincarnation is the logical, sensible, compassionate way to run your little world. You realize you have done all you can as far as the seven different ray groups helping each other. You begin to see the necessity for rules and regulations to govern the cycle of lives, the recirculation of these beautiful divine sparks of yours.
Wouldn't letting this growth take place give you greater satisfaction than just creating new spirits, letting them have only one chance to see what they could do and then creating more, hoping each new group created would do more and be smarter just because you, as the Creator God, were wiser when you created them? Yes you as the Creator God learned by watching the first group and perhaps the next group will be a little more evolved, but what are you going to do with all those dead spirits filling up spirit heaven? You're going to have a disposal problem eventually. You can't just keep moving more in there. It's already overflowing!
Continue picturing yourself as the Creator God and watch those people you put on your little world. You have given them free will and are curious to see what they will do with it. Will they abuse it? Yes, at first, very much so. To try and control them, you give them a conscience. This helps, but not enough to stop much of the misuse of free will. (It still hasn't stopped the misuse.) Everything you've done since then has been in the area of trying to get your people to take responsibility for the actions they are taking because of free will.
They eventually start growing up a little, but it is so hard for them to discipline themselves. If someone would just do it for them, they think, how much easier it would be. So they give the power to tell them what to do and what not to do to others whom they call priests, ministers, rabbis, etc. "Ah," they think, "now all responsibility is out of my hands. It is all on the priest's shoulders. Now it's his fault if I do something I shouldn't. He didn't teach me right or tell me I shouldn't do such an act. But anyway, all I have to do is say that I'm sorry and all will be well. If I slip again, same process, big deal. I really don't have a care in the world."
You see this happening in your little world and think, "Oh boy, now what? They're pretty sly, these ones I put down there. I'll have to think up another way to get them to take responsibility for themselves; we'll go to plan B, which is to send a messenger down in person to try to get the truth across to them that they simply aren't growing at all when they let another take responsibility for their actions. This simply can't go on."
Some heed the messenger's words and things get a little better, but then they turn in a different direction. You, as Creator God, have to come up with plan C. What's it going to be? Things are in pretty bad shape down there. Would you take away their free will, that precious gift? By this time, even though you would like to, you are only able to take it away in a limited manner. Nevertheless, you would do what you could to eliminate free will as much as possible. One way to do this would be through their economy. A downturn in this area certainly has the effect of putting the brakes on free will. In fact, perhaps it's working better than you could have hoped.
One way to make the economy worse would be through the weather patterns. This would put hardships on them. Aha! They are growing more responsible aren't they? They're starting to think about what they've been doing with all the freedom they had to use their free will, and are being much more mature about it.
You, as the Creator God have discovered that you made a few goofs here and there, that things would have worked better with a built-in restraint on free will. It is too late now. The only way to incorporate this into humanity is through education of the young. Free will is the one thing above all others that you wish you could take back. It is the direct cause of all humanities' woes at this time.
As you continue playing the role of the Creator God, you look down there at them arguing, fighting, hitting, and even killing each other. They are still very barbaric, aren't they? You could separate them. Maybe it would work better to take the ones who have grown past that stage and put them in a separate little world.
"No, I'd like to try keeping them all together, because it really is all the scattered parts of me, you know. If I separate some off, it will be like cutting off one of my arms or legs."
"They are all part of one body and they must learn to get along and cooperate with each other. As long as one leg wants to go one way and one the other, and one arm reach up and the other down, and the head turn opposite of the body, we're not going to make any progress are we? Picture a doll, if you can, twisted in this shape and you'll have a better idea of what this would look like. Well, there just has to be some way to get them all headed in one direction. I'll have to have a set of immutable laws and then a system of reinforcement to make them work."
"The laws will be the same for all, not only for my little world, but for all my brothers' worlds. Of course, they are more advanced than my world and the set of laws governing those worlds worked quite well. I will use them also in my little world, but I may have to add a few extra. Just look at them down there!"
Of all the universal laws, the one law that heads the top of the list for all worlds is: "Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do unto You." This one law really does say it all, and that is the basic building block for all worlds. This brings the responsibility home to the individual, where it belongs. The other laws are breakdowns and definitions of all stages of this one law. The individual is not only the victim; he is also the perpetrator, the judge, and the jury. This is the way it must be, and if it could but be enforced on that little world, there would be no problems, because all problems would be self-administered and self-resolved. As it is, it will have to be taught and shown to them by example. This can be done because you did decide to recycle them, remember, instead of making new ones. You will take advantage of this recycling to teach them the law of karma; that what they sow, they will reap.
You will keep them circulating until they're evolved enough to progress to the next realm. You would have a better feeling, wouldn't you? Instead of just being interested in your own growth and progress as a Creator God, you determine that the only possible answer is to let them each grow and evolve until they can move on. After all, if you learned from watching them in one lifetime, think how much more you would learn by watching them through many lifetimes and experiences. Wouldn't letting them do their own perfecting to as great an extent as they are capable of help you learn and grow more, rather than continually trying to create a perfect spirit?
When all your lines and sparks have returned, you, the Creator God, will move on to the next classroom, the fifth planet, where you will not want to separate yourself into individual sparks. You will want to experience things as a whole soul, to keep all parts of you together, to learn and experience in an enclosed situation. This will enable you to synthesize the experiences of each individual spark and determine what worked to make you a better Creator God and what did not. By this time you will be a very wise Oversoul.
