MPC vs Future Lives
You might find it strange how I mix up the idea of rebirth in real life with the online game set-up of resurrect. I would figure the objections would come mostly from the point of view that the game world, has absolutely nothing to do with the real world.
Many years ago, the movie Matrix, has approached this subject by asking: what is real, how do you define real? Can you define real, do you know what real really is? Type the keyword MMORPG in Wikipedia and read about the corrupted blood issue. A governmental agency used the online game system WoW for analysis how a virus, the in-game virus corrupted blood, had spread. This tells you how close to a real world these games are.
For the brain itself it does not matter where the signals are coming from. Light from the computer screen or light from the real world – it’s almost identical in terms of information for the brain to process. In both cases light enters the eyes and are forwarded in form of nerve impulses to the brain. For example, looking at a sunset situation in either world, creates similar feelings and emotions in us. In the real world, you have the smell and touch of the wind and you hear the real world sounds. However technology is advancing and will make this happen too in the near future.
But let’s continue and see what effect on our society it would have if we could be reborn in real life.
The subject of rebirth has been debated for a few thousand years. It is a very old point of discussion. But as of lately, you don’t see or hear much about it any more. Sure there are interest groups talking about it, books have been and are written, but mainstream wise, the media don’t seem to be interested in that. I guess I was lucky, when I recently stumpled over a foreign TV report about it. The story was about a child, who talked often, as soon as he could talk, to his mom about his other mom, other house, and dog and gave even the name of the city where he had supposedly lived. It was first a local story, then spread around a lil bit, until with the help of a scientist, the boy’s story could be verified for being correct.
Two things happened during that TV show that I found worth memorizing. For one, the TV had taped the moment when the boy was put in front of the house that had been found according to his descriptions. Once he had looked at his old house, the house where he had lived in his former life, his eyes stared into a far distance, his face turned sad and melancholic, and - according to the TV report -, he never talked about it again. What could that expression mean? To us? For us? I wish you could have seen it for yourself.
The next thing that I expected after that report, was a discussion about it by different scientists and experts. However, after the obligatory publicity break, the station aired a TV report about a guy with extraordinary body flexibility skills. This was a total disappointment. Why would the media do that? There was so much to talk about the past life issue and instead this accrobatic show? This is a situation that basically begged for an explanation. So let’s dig deep here and find out the likelihood why they, the TV show producers, did decide that way.
Could it be because of MPC, of money, power and control? What could possibly be with the past life issue that the MPC group doesn’t want? The most important value for a media company is, to no-ones’ surprise: Shareholder Value. The money flows in from TV ads or subscriptions and only don’t worry-be-happy, need-to-know and have-to-have customers buy and pay.
Obviously, THE way to go for the media company: Keep the crowd interested and happy. According to that target, reporters, dig up anything newsworthy, anything that might interest the spectators. Then, in order to keep the customer happy, the story, report or show ends with one of the following: no follow up, like in the above case, or a guided follow up, where basically no adverse opinion is allowed, or a fake follow-up like most often, where they put 3 or 4 different thinking people on the podium that throw words at each other for 10-15 minutes. The discussion will not move forward one bit and the conclusion is left wide open. Basically maintaining status quo.
The media found, oh-so-subtle ways, to keep us entertained all the time. No blank is left to create a thought. They don’t want us to think, they want to think for us, have our eyes and ears wide open, so they can catch us off guard with our firewalls down, for their advertisement or paid-for expert opinion. Everything is made into a show, heavily arguing, screaming, body language, Jerry-Springer style, all that to keep the action going, so there is no time to reflect about anything.
So the compelling past life report about the child had his tail cut-off by the ridiculous acrobatic show that followed. My conclusion is: the media don’t want us to think, and certainly not think about past and future life. Here is my opinion and it builds on what I said in the conclusion of session no. 7, where I quoted:
If life is a one time event, there is a tendancy to think I wanna grab as much as I can, before I am running out of it, and I don’t care what comes thereafter. However, if we look at the possibility of being reborn in another life, then one of sudden the aspect of time and life changes and time-less words like accomplishment, growth, and learning, replace those full-time ones such as money, power and status.
The western world is built on a so-called christian foundation, which makes us follow their own rules and regulations to get a place in heaven. This system also tells us that you only have a one-time chance, a one time-life during which you can accomplish that. Here is some food for thought: Fact is, that we don’t know what the true words of Jesus Christ have been. Books about him have been written only sixty years or so after his death! How credible would a book be if someone started today writing about the second world war - only from what the war heroes could tell from memory. And then have that book translated, re-translated, interpreted and modified by I don’t know how many authors for how many centuries. But taken the case, we actually had been able to record his words, they would still be in a language that we don’t speak and that we don’t think. So even then we would not be 100% sure what the message was, he wanted to give us, and I strongly believe he wanted to pass along something important, like how to see life.
Make a google search about Jesus and past life. Apparently, the early books that came out, described that Jesus believed in past-life and rebirth. Did he gave his life for a good cause because he believed in re-birth, or in other words re-surrection? One wonders why these teachings can’t be found any more in more modern bibles. Maybe those in power and control removed them from the early bibles, because a crowd that believes in future lives is much harder to contain then one that is afraid of losing the only life they have.
Fear, this is the key word of power. We have seen it in the recent Iraq war, where the words threat and terrorists dominated the discussions, and we have seen it in every other dictatorship in the past. But it’s not only fear of losing one’s life, no, in the christian world there is much more to fear, like the eternal imprisonment in hell, never being able to learn, improve and evolve, never being able to reach the heavenly realm. Where in this scenario is the love, the compassion, the readiness to forgive? Where is the true Jesus?
May the higher spirit help us evolve.
Yours truly,
Mon Rasz
