Adherents to this philosophy accept that reincarnation provides the most probable answer to the question:  "What is a human being?  Is he/she a physical body, an eternal being inhabiting a physical body or just a lump of dust that has magically acquired consciousness."

There is no clear, scientifically provable evidence answering this question one way or another; however, the overwhelming circumstantial evidence indicates that humans are eternal divine beings experiencing their divinity in physical form.   The evidence tells us that a human being is not his or her physical body, but merely comes into the Earthly body.   The physical body is a vehicle for the temporary use of the eternal being while here on Earth.   The embryo is considered to be earth matter with potential to evolve into a physical body.  

The Physical body is considered to have about the same significance as a suit of clothes, that are temporarily worn and then removed and returned to the Earth to be recycled back to building materials for still another act of creation.   When it’s time to leave, the soul  sheds the body as simply as one would shed an old set of clothes.  To use another analogy, entering a human physical body is like a tenant moving into a house and later moving back out again.

Sex is gift from God, a way to experience the bliss of divinity while living in a physical body.   See the pages titled:  
Sex as a Spiritual Experience.    and    
Original Sin and the Source of Christian Anti-Sex Attitudes.     
and

Most of the people who believe the universal spiritual perspective on life are not ardent followers of any particular religion.   They believe:  1) that they are ( and everyone else also is)  an aspect of Divinity,  2)  that their connection to divinity is completely personal and  uniquely individual,  and 3)  that awareness of Divinity/God  comes to our physical selves from a non-physical source which can be accessed within one's own being.   Readers are directed to the website titled:  Are You Inside or Outside of God?   

Most people, when talking about their physical selves, will use language such as "my body."    This implies a separation between the body and who or whatever it is that owns or controls the physical body.   Who or what is it that that owns/controls your physical body?   Whatever that non-physical aspect is is considered to be the real true self.   The body is considered to be nothing more than a biological machine used to access physical matter.    (Reference)°   

Church intermediaries have been cast off as irrelevant and unnecessary parasites.   Because each person already is as aspect of "God," the belief that one needs to work, to suffer, or go to a Church in order to connect to a God out there somewhere, is seen as a manipulative fairytale set upon the masses by church leaders in order to dominate, control and extract money. 

To see the truth of this and the power of realizing that one can connect directly to God, one has but to study the life of Martin Luther.    In the early sixteenth-century, Martin Luther threw this very idea into  the face of the Roman Catholic Empire.   His revelation sparked the revolution which historians today  refer to as "The Reformation."   That revolution, previously unprecedented in speed and scope, put an end to the strangle hold that the Roman Catholic Church had on Europe and put an end to what historians refer to as  "The Dark Ages."

Readers might note the strong correlations among religious freedom and political freedom and sexual freedom.   And the demonic copulation that thrives in the strangleholds of  religious oppression, political tyranny and sexual repression.   (Please see the section above titled: What is Sex?) 

Historians will, in all probability, look back on the times we live in today an call them "The Second Dark Ages."   You may think such a statement is the product of a dried up brain, but one has to give only a cursory look at what is happening to see that the vast majority of evil and criminal behavior on this planet is the product of those in positions of  religious and political leadership.   The actual physical crimes are perpetrated by mindless sheep who simply follow orders.   And with regard to the environment, we are treating it like toilet paper.

The Universal Spiritual Perspective is the philosophical basis upon which our founding fathers created the Republic known as the United States of America.   These men were certainly universal thinkers, transcendental thinkers,  men of uncanny vision for their times.    They were very clear in their intent that no specific religion should dominate the government, and that no religious beliefs were required in order to hold political office.  The relationship between Universal Spiritual values and our Founding  Fathers is explained in detail on the page titled :   Our Founding Fathers and Religious Freedom.  

Compelling evidence indicates that our founding fathers  were generally Deists or Unitarians, believing in some form of impersonal Providence, and that they strongly rejected what the present day fundamentalists call "The Christian Religion."

Here's a brief description of the character traits of a Mason.   Quote is direct for the website:  http://www.helionlodge.org/page_aboutmasonry.htm.

"The real Freemason is distinguished from the rest of Mankind by the uniform unrestrained rectitude [the correctness, decency, integrity]  of his conduct.   Other men are honest in fear of punishment which the law might inflict; they are religious in expectation of being rewarded, or in dread of the devil, in the next world.   A Freemason would be just if there were no laws, human or divine except those written in his heart by the finger of his Creator.   In every climate, under every system of religion, he is the same. honor, respect, humility, and gratitude

He kneels before the Universal Throne of God in respect, humility, and gratitude for the blessings he has received and humble solicitation for his future protection.   He venerates [honors, respects] the good men of all religions.   He disturbs not the religion of others.   He restrains his passions, because they cannot be indulged without injuring his neighbor or himself.   He gives no offense, because he does not choose to be offended.   He contracts no debts which he is certain he cannot discharge, because he is honest upon principal."

When one is truly  aware of him or herself as an eternal spiritual being, every thought and every word is acknowledged as a sacred act of creation; [1]* every action is Divinity expressing itself on Earth;  every day is lived as a God-filled activity;  every motion is prayer in action;  and every breath is the breath of God.

One acknowledges the unity of everything     and realizes that The Three Universal Laws of Creation '   are as real as the law of gravity.

As a divine being living in a physical body on planet Earth, prayer is not something reserved for special moments and special places.  It is one’s constant and natural state of being.   In such a context,. one has no need to have others see him or her in a deliberate and specific act of prayer.   One has no need to receive accolades for his or her loving, caring, and compassionate actions because caring, and compassion define the ground of being, the context, out of which one's life is naturally lived.

One has no need to proselytize others because he/she knows that every other person is also a divine being, and also knows that no matter which path (religion or philosophy) is used to connect to The Infinite Source of Life,   that path is sacred and should be honored.

The Christian Bible is in complete harmony with the belief in reincarnation and in complete harmony with  the Universal Spiritual Perspective on life.   If you interpret the Bible symbolically, reincarnation fits in easily.   Many people do follow the Bible while also believing in reincarnation.   Many historians and scholars believe that reincarnation was a part of the original beliefs among the followers of Jesus.    

Evidence strongly suggests that references to reincarnation were intentionally left out or intentionally edited  out of the early versions of what is now called the Christian Bible.   When you examine the Biblical passages that distinguish the physical body from the spirit,  you'll find numerous references that fit perfectly with the probability that  reincarnation if true. 

Like every other religious  assumption, there is no absolute proof that Universal Spiritual Perspective on life is correct.   There are; however,  literally tens of thousands of well respected scientists,  authors, visionaries, philosophers and religious leaders from antiquity to modern times who have offered the world an overwhelming amount of anecdotal data, indirect implications, situations, circumstances, and personal experiences that are in complete harmony with the idea that we are Eternal Divine beings.

As an example of indirect evidence that is consistent with the reincarnation possibility, see the section titled:  Think About This for a Moment.  

There is very little similar evidence supporting either the atheism or the Christian one-life-ism belief.   Several passages in the Christian Bible  are completely consistent with the Universal Spiritual Perspective.   There is nothing in the Bible that says Reincarnation is not true.  

There is very little in the Bible that could be interpreted to support either the atheism or the Christian one-life-ism belief.    There is also no evidence to support the Christian beliefs that humans today are born with original sin or that life begins at conception.

When you examine intentionally terminating a pregnancy (inpreterm/abortion) from the Universal Spiritual perspective, there are no innocent victims.   We talking about a co-creation between two eternal beings one in non-physical form choosing to enter Earth life in a newly created human body and the other, presently living in a human body and choosing to create or not to create an additional physical body for the other entity to enter into and use while he or she is here on Earth?  

How, when, and under what circumstances does another individual  (or group of individuals)  get the right to interfere with that kind of divine creation?  None! Nada!, Zero! Zippo!   It doesn't have any business interfering in this God-Granted right of self determination of either party in this agreement.   Those who would and do interfere, do so our of fear, out of  ignorance, and with demonic-level disrespect for the divine rights of others.

If a woman chooses to terminate her pregnancy (inpreterm) it's best to do so early in the pregnancy, but unfortunately, sometimes, unforeseen circumstances arise, and it just doesn’t happen that way.   Even at a later time in the pregnancy, interfering in a woman’s life implies that she’s not smart enough, ethical enough, or informed well enough to make a decision that is in the long-term best interest of all concerned.   Society’s interference also implies that a blind, arbitrary, one-size-fits-all law is smart enough, ethical enough, and informed well enough to make that decision.

***  Can you can prove the God's conception magic act. is true?  NO!

***  Can you can prove that you are your physical body?   NO!

***  Can you can prove that humans are not eternal spiritual beings. temporarily live in physical bodies?    NO!

*** Can you can prove that those who believe that human are eternal divine beings do not have the right to practice  their own religion?    NO!

***   Is a human being  "an eternal spirit " or simply  "flesh and bones?"

.

Until you can answer  all five of these questions with provable certainty, stop trying to force your religious dogma onto the rest of us!    Take your Alice in Wonderland fairytales. and climb back into your rabbit hole.

Without proof about the nature of what a human being is,. intentionally terminating a pregnancy is not a social issue.   Becoming a mother or not becoming a mother is an incredibly personal, private, religious and medical issues that must be addressed by the woman herself,. within the context of her own needs, desires, conditions, and circumstances and with the support of family, friends and with the guidance of her medical and spiritual advisors.   Forcing unwilling women to become mothers is nothing short of religious tyranny disguised as social justice.
