What if all of humanity is a single entity - a single "spirit" that lives as one human, dies and is reborn as another human over and over until the spirit experiences the sum of all human existence. In one lifetime this spirit finds itself as the rapist, in the next life the spirit finds itself as the rape victim. It finds itself as the king in one life and serf in the next, as the communist dictator in on round and gulag prisoner in another, corrupt judge and defendant. This spirit, which is both you and i, experiences all cause and effect of humanity.
Im this example life is entirely fair and deserving as the spirit experiences both action and consequence. The most horrific acts imaginable are but the spirit acting upon itself as the horrors delivered in one lifetime are the horrors received in the next.
The point? Perhaps this is all a trial for the spirit to come to the self realization of its wrongs and previous departing from God. Maybe at the end of this the human spirit will experience the sum total of all human lives at once and transcend into something else. Or maybe this is some perpetual self-deserving hell that is inescapable due to past sins we are unaware of.
What do you think?
I think that what you describe is possible. It would not be entirely out of left field for what I have experienced, but I would offer a slightly different take.
We are all of one spirit (God) and it is a consciousness that is creative + curious + chaotic and orderly. It does not know everything at once, rather it exists in a perpetual state of existing. It has immense powers over its imagination and all it imagines is capable of influencing it and causing it to dream a new thought or future. Along the way it imagined time and cause and effect and setup a massive self-propelled system that would develop infinite life potential but through a process of rules governed by space, time, energy, and potential. The god imagined time but it was not without all the right ingredients that time coalesced into a wondrous sight.
Beholding the creation imagined by it, it starts to get new ideas as it observes its own creation and subtly infuses the new ideas back into the design and through a mutual observation and manifestation process the god create the universe.
In this universe we were imagined as a form of creator that not only would abide by the rules of the universe, but too have the power of consciousness and self awareness and free will. And through us the universe observes itself from within much as the god observes itself from heaven beyond the universe.
And so we are all one, but separate as well. We are meant to experience the inner space of this world through various consciousness points, and god is always observing the entirety of itself beyond and is simultaneously being that same universe.
WE (suggested pluralism) contradicts all (perceivable) separating itself into each one (perception) within.
Variety implies life; point implies death...hence different life sentences towards same point of death.
Aka being holding onto suggested creationism by consent, while ignoring to be set apart within whole.
