I AM BEETLE

          I am Beetle.  I am Scarab.  I am the resurrection.

          I am Beetle.  Some teach there is only one life, with resurrection eternal in heaven or hell.  Others teach there are many lives, with resurrection through reincarnation.  Both are right and both are wrong.

          I am Beetle.  I am the resurrection.  Spirit is eternal.  It is a piece of God--how could it be anything less?  Spirit faces many choices--what does it want to experience?--how does it want to grow?--how can it help and serve?

          I am Beetle.  The choices that Spirit makes are free and God-ordained.  This is not contradiction.  It is simple truth.  Spirit is a piece of God given free choice.

          I am Beetle.  You are the resurrection.  You are the piece of God that has freely chosen to experience this life--to grow in this way--to help and serve in this unique fashion.

          I am Beetle.  Life in flesh is neither reward nor punishment--it is choice.  Life after flesh is neither reward nor punishment--it, too, is choice.

          I am Beetle.  Choice to live in flesh does not mean that every event is chosen.  It means that a general pattern is set.  Choice in flesh determines what results.

          I am Beetle.  We are the resurrection.
