The Kingdoms of All!?!

Well, disregarding the preposterously pretentious title of this posting, I do have something to say, really worth saying.

Let's just get to it right off:

I've always thought Reincarnation sounded like an interesting idea, despite the fact that we live in a non-hierarchical culture these days, and some of the examplars of this 'new age' in thinking would have a hard time saying a dog is 'greater' than a bird, or a bird 'greater' than a worm, etc.  I however, do think there is a hierarchy, but a hierarchy that extends at least above, if not below, the animal kingdom as we know it on Earth.  Thus, depending how goof - I mean 'good' - of a person I am when I die, I will either go up or down - in other words, I will move up into the spiritual realm (Heaven), or I will be reincarnated as a rodent or something (reincarnation's 'Purgatory') or head straight-on down. I don't believe the spiritual realm is aswim with soft, equivalent figures living, in a murk of love, however 'nice' that sounds to some.  No, I believe that in the heavenly realms there is a hierarchy of angels that leads up to being very close to God:

GOD

Seraphim
Cherubim
Thrones
Dominions
Virtues
Powers
Principalities
Archangels
Angels

Humans

Mammals
Birds
Reptiles
Amphibians
Fishes
Echinoderms
Molluscs
Anthropods
Worms
Coelenterates
Sponges

Demons

SATAN


I'm not filling in the demon hierarchy because that would just be too cruel and too depressing (and I believe too few to mention are headed that far South).  But the list above gives the gist of it.  I  firmly believe the vast, vast majority of humans living today will be animals of the middle or lower classifications in their next lives.  It's just so easy and it just feels so darn good -  being cruel, cynical, and unconscionable, and lying (not just verbal lies, either - but behavioral lies, socioeconomic lies and just plain pretending you're something you're not for whatever reasons). A small handful will descend into Hell, but this sort of talk is too cruel and too depressing.

As Christ said, "Many are called, but few are chosen."  Those "few chosen", a statistical blip, will move on up the ladder to become Angels, most likely.  Doubtfully, but just maybe, there may be an Archangel in our midst - Kierkegaard's "Knight of Faith", so to speak, who will rub elbows with Gabriel  and Michael on a higher plane someday.


I don't know. Hehe.  It's FUN to be self-righteous and judgemental and really condemnatory once in a while, isn't it?
