Maybe in one sense there are different starting points. I've heard that one personality can split further. Thus, there might be two persons, or four, who could legitimately claim to be the reincarnation of some one individual. The various personalities we see, each seemingly with his own mind, is actually the product of a split mind, the mind of the proverbial prodigal son. This makes us all old souls, so to speak. There is an ultimate unity, if you go back further and further in time. Technically, there is no such thing as a split mind, but it is an illusion the prodigal son was able to "manifest" through the magic of imagination and faith. As there are not really more than one mind, there is not more than one "soul".
So the next time a christian accuses you of being involved in the original sin, accept it. But also tell them that you also accept, and admit, that you participated in the making of this world. I mean, if you're going to be laden with so much blame and responsibility, you may as well go one step further and take all the blame, and all the responsibility.
That's actually what Jesus did, and why he has this reputation as having taken all the sins of the world upon his shoulders. Yes, in theory, that's what he did. But he also washed himself clean by the waters of truth. In truth, all sin is bogus, false, void and moot. This is why he also gained the reputation as having no sin. First you accept responsibility for all sin, then you realize, in truth, that sin does not actually exist, since sin is all that is untrue, including itself. Sin, technically, is a lie, more specifically, a self deception.
it's about remembering. So some of us, like this little kid, remembered a past life without much effort, probably because the end was so traumatic. It is actually possible to remember all one's past lives, as did the ascended masters, but more importantly, it is possible to remember a condition before any incarnations ever began to manifest. If you go back far enough, you will remember what i call "Christ", but which has no name. You remember your nameless Self.
This is the basis of what Jesus was saying about "Do this in remembrance of Me", as is commonly repeated at the "Lord's Supper". By taking a loaf of bread and breaking it up into pieces, each representing a person, he was pointing back to an original unity, and how the breaking up of the original unity is what manifests individuals. The same starting point, so to speak. Also, the wine, distributed from one cup to all the individuals. And saying, "this is my blood, given for you.". He is saying that the existence of individuals depends upon the destructive killing of the original unity, specifically, the original Self, which i call "Christ". Not one so called christian has yet to admit this. But unless we admit it, there is no way we can remember the original Self.
It's actually the other way round. Christ is not a substitute for people. People are substitutes for Christ. It's people who are the dying and dead Christ. To substitute for Christ, you must first kill the memory of Christ. Indeed, everything a substitute does, is against Christ in some fashion or another. This is the basis for the famous "Either you are for or against me" claim of a dichotomy of enmity.
Especially in laying claim to existence and calling it "life". Substitutes are not actually alive. But if they were, they would be in direct competition with Christ for Christ's attributes. Kind of like identity theft on a grand scale. Anyways, substitution is so foreign to Christ that they cannot coexist. So either Christ lives, and people die. Or, Christ dies, and people live. This is the status quo. And not a good thing. And yet, people actually continue to hope it's true that Christ can die. They hope to be washed by "blood" and not actually the truth.
Anyway, the remembrance of Christ, the Self, is the END of any other so-called self. There is no coexistence. No shared experience. One experiences one or the other, but not both, not at the same time, not ever. This is the basis of the saying, "Unless you lay down your life for MY SAKE, then you will lose your life". The reason people will lose their life unless they lay their individuality down for Christ, is because Christ WAS (and still is) their life. There is no other life.
When the entire split mind, and all its pieces remember the original condition, then is the end of the material world. It ends as individual pieces and parts of a split mind, admit, and realize, that the material world never even began.
