I was recently asked by an equally difficult ME- Affected: do you think, that somehow we will be punished for a crime, that we committed in a previous life?
This question and the boring bedridden leads to it, that I think about the few millimeters of the sphere, who distinguish humans from animals, respectively me: I can reflect on myself a bit. A little bit, I say.
To Rudolf Steiner: What kind of god would that be, of us in a second, third or fourth life with lifelong illness or imprisonment, without our conscious access to our crimes?
Then we wouldn't even have the opportunity, to see and correct our mistakes! No god of forgiveness.
Secondly: how would he punish: Those, who committed the crimes out of malice or need, equally?
“There is no crime that cannot be forgiven.”
But, if the criminal has no access or no understanding of his destructive act, then there can be no forgiveness.
Unhappy or poor people sometimes turn to God, others do not need to take this step. I think, by believing in nothing and hedonistic looking for intoxication, maybe I was already punished with my life. Risky life as a den of sin. But who wants, he always finds mistakes: mine was a lack of empathy for other people and too much self-reference.
Is that a moral mistake or a human weakness?, that I “acquired” got weak by others, the after “with a clear conscience” acted? And where is the transition from nature and thus that unconscious area in us, that we cannot integrate into our self-reflection and control (nature) and human responsibility and guilt, so in fact, that we commit, although we know, that she hurts others, Causes damage or kills?
I find Rudolf Steiner's doctrine of incarnation “destructive”, but when i say, that even the murderer for the desire to kill is not to blame, because there is no guilt, but only acquired weakness; then there is no longer any incentive for a person, to behave decently in the world! But above all not towards those closest people, which are of no use to him! (that even more).
I could imagine, the Korean president thinks he's a good person. Russian oligarchs live in palaces and their butlers, Treasurer, Designer, Bakers live on them. The baker's children can attend schools, for them the oligarch is an employer and a good person. A criminal to others, because he can kill at the same time.
The fate of those poor swallowers is more agonizing, who have to look for their faults in themselves, even if they don't know, why they die (e.g.. by drowning in the Mediterranean) are condemned. Was it to be measured, to start the journey to Europe, because they dreamed of better living conditions? And if one or the other then messes up here and for example. raped? Is he guilty then or was it just this small part of the remaining nature, that suddenly got the better of him and turned him from a good to a bad person?
And just that, who then judge and play and judge God! Is her demeanor, e.g.. flawless in private life!? Oh people, barely, barely! How many invisible crimes we cannot see! (“But the good god sees them all!” It would be nice …) Outwardly, people have to replace God with laws. Can a judge sleep well at night? Probably yes, for there is no real God and judge. The judge knows; in the past people weren't better either! Especially not those, the others threatened hell in the hereafter ….
I think that's a bad god, of people one more time on earth in a “Suffering life” sends, without, that he shows them the meaning of this company. And nature is a cruel alternative, which strikes, after maybe stroking it once.
I only believe in the mother's love and compassion for her child. That is the only incorruptible human goodness. But probably instinct / nature again.
