What is the nature of man?

For those who reject the Bible and the Bible's explanation of the nature of man, how exactly do you understand the nature of man?

    Humans are generally ignorant of the divine spark resident within them. This ignorance is fostered in human nature by the influence of the false creator and his Archons, who together are intent upon keeping men and women ignorant of their true nature and destiny. Anything that causes us to remain attached to earthly things serves to keep us in enslavement to these lower cosmic rulers. Death releases the divine spark from its lowly prison, but if there has not been a substantial work of Gnosis undertaken by the soul prior to death, it becomes likely that the divine spark will be hurled back into, and then re-embodied within, the pangs and slavery of the physical world.

    Not all humans are spiritual (pneumatics) and thus ready for Gnosis and liberation. Some are earthbound and materialistic beings (hyletics), who recognize only the physical reality. Others live largely in their psyche (psychics). Such people usually mistake the Demiurge for the True God and have little or no awareness of the spiritual world beyond matter and mind.

    In my search for “THE ANSWER” I went though from the oldest (Chinese) to the youngest belief systems.

    In all I found a thread of simplicity that it seems everyone misses.

    I find the human loves to take simple and make it complicated.

    Here is what I have boiled down to its simplest form.

    The Divine gave us a soul

    The Divine communicates to us through the soul.

    The Divine provided, through the soul, love and strength continuously.

    The Divine had given us the living word that resides in us.

    Soul is love

    Soul is strength

    Soul is pure

    Soul is eternal.

    Through experience I know this.

    The Love fills us and keeps us from wanting

    The Strength allows us to over come our human desires and face the situation life gives us.

    The belief system we chose should guide us to stay connected with our souls.

    The method i see it. We are a side of nature. There isn't any Humans vs Nature. Because we're a side of nature. I see the whole lot on Earth as a unmarried organism. But regrettably we' ve being separated. You do not rather see a plug that connects us to nature. But see it , this fashion, if we take the air away we die, if we take animals away we die, if we take vegetation we die. THerefore we're attached. Take the Earth within the form of an atom. The center is the Nucleus and we/nature are electrons. All floating round and if one is going all of it turns into risky identical to atoms. We are one!

    The nature of man is just like the nature of everything else. Every single thing evolves or devolves in some way. Humans have evolved for years but now we are devolving because of technology. Everything evolves constantly even in the most minute forms. Humans are one of the many infinite possibilities of the universe and there will be an infinite amount of creatures that are just as intelligent, more intelligent and even less.

    Basically, a portion of it is in the Message of Jesus. Jesus is not part of your Bible? Jesus also knew that Humans were hard headed and were not understanding all that he was explaining...

    John10:30 I and [my] Father are one.(the same applies to each of us)

    10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?(non-physical, immortal, Spiritual Beings and not the physical human body)

    10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.

    Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

    John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

    John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;(physical human body) and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.(Spiritual Being, you and me)

    Mark 9:19And He answered them and said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!"

    What's not to understand? Good people generally do good things, bad people generally do bad things.

    For good people to do bad things takes religion.

    To go forth and multiply.

    The act of trying to multiply is our nature.
