Christianity and Human Consciousness

Fallen human reality is basically synthetic. It is not what it is supposed to be. We live in an atomic and spiritual matrix that is fallen. Human perception is delusional and deceptive because of sin. Only when a person becomes a begotten child of God and gains proper wisdom and understanding will he or she begin to perceive true reality and proper perspective.

Humans are created creatures of God. Humans are not God; they are created beings yet they have a special purpose. They may become sons and daughters of God. This life is part of that choice and experience. In this life we are experiencing the three-dimensional reality of space, time, and matter. This is the “playground”, the environment of our experience.

Our personal knowledge does not just come from our experiences in this life and the use of our five faculties of sight, hearing, touching, tasting, and sound. All of this plays a role in our learning but we have also inherited predispositions. Humans have specific reactions to things and situations in their lives which are inherited such as perhaps the fear of snakes or the fear of the dark. These are not necessarily learned fears but are instead survival mutations which have developed through our ancestors.

The Bible states that God’s laws are “written on our hearts”. God’s word itself informs us that we have special program mechanisms installed by God himself. The basic conscious of what we might call “wrong” and “right” manifests at an early age. Though God has created us with our own individual soul and personality, it is developed through the community of the human family.

For the Christian, we understand that true knowledge and behavior is taught in the Holy Scriptures, through God’s word. Through Divine Revelation the “begotten child” of God receives a transcendental knowledge of right and wrong, a spiritual static-certainty. Christianity does not teach the doctrine of reincarnation. This false doctrine is found throughout fallen pagan religions. The ideas of this doctrine stem from different experiences. One is the idea that life always returns, we see this in the things of creation.

Another reason was the fact that people began to experience others who looked like and reminded them of somebody that they once knew who had died. Same facial features, same laugh and other mannerisms. Finally, people had experiences that they could not automatically pinpoint as actually happening and attributed them to the idea that they must have experienced these things in a “past life”. To fallen human nature, this made perfect sense.

Many of these types of experiences have to do with the personal collective and collective unconscious mind. We understand the personal collective conscious to contain all of your experiences since you have been born. These involve your five physical faculties and your emotions. You also have inherited behaviors which come from your collective unconscious mind. These two together ultimately make you who you are – your personal collective and collective unconscious. We cannot leave out your personal chemistry which forms your private and individually unique personality.

So as Christians these are things that we see and consider when we begin to understand just how God made us. It is remarkable, all of the divine laws that God has come up with and put together to create everything. We serve an Almighty Personal God. We are created in His image – we are a person with a personality. We have also each been given special gifts. When we discover our gifts, we use them to glorify our Creator. This brings even a higher relationship in our spiritual growth.

Ultimately, our trust is in our Creator, in our God. We hope that you continue to learn with us and grow with us as a fellow Christian. Continue to study with us here at “The Shepherds Way & Nugget of Truth”.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
