Many of the reasons for human experience are known to us, as we must be
capable of experiencing or witnessing the lack of perfection in order to
understand the greatness of perfection. But there is something else. Why
are our bodies so weak? Why don't people stay on a planet until fusion
or until they advance in spiritual standing? Why does there need to be
death when there are others who begin their existence in morontia form?
One of the great reasons for this body of flesh is that it makes us
overly conscious of time. This is one of the few experiences in the
ascension career where time is truly of the essence. The human body is
an expression of time itself!
Even if the progression and
regression of the soul is not witnessed, the course of time is still
evident not just by our action, but by our existence. With a body that
does not age or die, progression is more like an eventual activity, not
something that always needs to be accomplished today or tomorrow. However, in
the human form, there may not even be a tomorrow. Time is bearing down
on you 24/7. Whether it is through action or inaction, the consequences
will teach us to take time seriously, and that will certainly help us reach
Paradise at a faster pace. There are other reasons for valuing this time experience, but I believe acknowledging the possible consequences of slothful behavior and valuing the succession of events within time-space are two of the biggest things to gain through the experience of temporal life.
