All Of This Has Happened Before

 There's a famous line from Battlestar Galactica (BSG).

All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

Makes you wonder if the human race has been through all of this before. If we are but copies of another set of humans that once lived on an Earth like our own. But in some misfortune failed to execute their role as what they should be. Something like that. Wouldn't that be interesting if we were all just test subjects, Guinea pigs to see how we react to certain obstacles. I can see that happening. Just toys for someone to play with.

When they get tired of their creation, they reset everything and we all go through it over again.

There, of course, isn't any concrete proof that this is the case. But it is an interesting thought exercise. Kinda rules out reincarnation as we are just ourselves again. Makes you wonder how everything will go down eventually. How will death be perceived. Will it be just a slight resting point before being thrown back into the arena as it were.

If that's all this life is, I want no part of it. When it comes time for my final resting point, I want to be able to rest. I don't want to be thrown back into the arena to be tried and tested again. Who knows how many times I could have had this thought. A hundred? A thousand? If I am the same person throughout all of these incarnations, wouldn't I come to the same conclusion? Now there's an interesting question.

So many thoughts can come from this one point. How else could God get all of his children back home? There's another thought. He keeps putting us in the same situations in hopes that we will eventually make the right choices and be able to be with Him. How would that be?

If we are going through the same processes over and over again, that would be kind of mean for a creator to do to his children. I think at least. Just something to consider.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
