Multiple Mortal Probations

From time to time I have received questions on Multiple Mortal Probations. And this morning I am in a melancholy type mood, and would like to write about this topic from a certain angle. As a general rule, I do not like to get too deeply involved in philosophical debates with others, preferring to address the heart of the matter, someone's character. To me, it does not really matter what a person think is happening beyond this life, only how a person interacts here and now.

Since we are not here to see what we know, we are only here to work on our hearts, then it really does not matter if a person believes in MMP or not. What matters is, how does a person interact with their fellow man. One of the main associative behaviours of those who promote MMP is the idea of "I will do better next life." Or, "No one is perfect, so I will fix that part of me next time." Etc. Yet, I have noticed, most situations with those who think this way, procrastination seems to set in. Contentment, and complacency, and apathy really, seem to dominate. This being the case, there is no reason to believe anything will be different in the next life. I am not trying to rule out genuine change and progression, for there are rare situations in which this occurs. I am only noticing when people make real change, they usually start early, and are committed to daily diligence. There are times in life when major events spark that change, but those events are rare, and as a general rule, do not happen often enough, nor impact us deeply enough to maintain that level needed for lasting change.

There is no reason to put off what we can do now, in this life. The time is now! We do not need many lifetimes to fix ourselves. It is easy to change now! All we need to do is give up our worldly desires, and ONLY fulfill Heavenly Father's eternal desires. The only people who have difficulty with this are those who want worldly things, and refuse to let go of those wicked desires!

Bottom line: It does not matter if a person believes in Multiple Mortal Probations, nor if a person believes Heavenly Father is a little green alien from Mars, nor if a person believes in multiple timelines all happening at the same time, nor if a person believes they are dreaming in a dream which is being dreamed by another dreamer in a dream, nor whatever! What matters is, How do you treat others? Let go of all worldly attachments, treat each other perfectly! Be perfect!!! And do it NOW!
