Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 REINCARNATION As souls created in the image of God, we also had and continue to have, the power of creating. The Divinity within us grants us that power, but unfortunately, the body consciousness gives rise to creation of negative qualities. We get angry, we hurt others, we laugh at others who may be less fortunate than we are, we misuse our positions of trust and authority, we betray those who love us… all this and more is caused by enmeshing ourselves solely in material consciousness. And this causes us to isolate ourselves further and further away from our Source. So, what does all this have to do with reincarnation? Reincarnation is the gift given to us by our Creator to help us resolve our conflicts and return to our Source. Reincarnation is the door through which we need to pass if we are ever to free ourselves from the prison called mortal suffering. Life on earth is the best gift to all of us who are here on earth, because it was through matter that we caused ourselves to be isolated from our Source, and it is only through matter that we can resolve our karmic conflicts and free ourselves from the cycle of Cause and Effect of mortality. What is the Law of Cause and Effect? To put this in simpler words: suppose I have lived a life where I have abused my position of authority and been unkind or too regimental with those serving me. In a subsequent lifetime I will be in a position of subservience where someone else in authority will make me feel so restricted, that my body mind will shudder and realize what it is to have unkindness meted out. This feeling, if strong enough, will teach my body consciousness, my personality as it were, never to abuse authority. Skeptics, however, have a question. “If we have lived before,” they ask, “Why do we not remember it?” To that, I would like to say that we DO, at some level of our consciousness, remember it. Look at our unexplained loves, our fears, our hates and even our choice of careers/hobbies. And as far as remembering past lives goes, how many of us really remember what we did on any one given day, say two years ago? However, this is really not a treatise for converting skeptics. Reincarnation exists with or without our beliefs. source merlyn Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
