APPRECIATE THE GIFT OF REINCARNATION

The gift of reincarnation or re-embodiment is closely associated with the Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect, known also as the Law of Karma or Justice. This wonderful Cosmic Law gives us the blessed opportunity to right the wrongs done in previous lifetimes or even in our current life. The understanding of the concept of reincarnation is the KEY to understanding our soul´s journey.


Let us begin now with a basic question which should satisfy even the most curious minds as to the reality and purpose of re-embodiment...

How would you explain the justice or fairness or even purpose in the fact that one person can live a longer lifetime than another, with the understanding that the person with the longer life has many more opportunities to experience life´s "ups" and "downs" and thereby evolve along life´s path?? Whereas a person who dies at the age of 35 years or as a teenager or even a baby apparently doesn´t deserve or receive those advantages and chances?? Afterall, we all believe that God is Love, Perfection and Just. God has no favourites. All are equal in His/Her eyes. There simply must be an explanation or life doesn´t make any sense. The answer is Reincarnation!

Cause and Effect

 Ever heard the expression "what goes around, comes around"? That´s the action or reaction of the Law on Cause and Effect. All the good one does returns to one at a later date and likewise all the negative one has exercised, past and present, will too.

Now there is a reason why we don´t remember our past lives. God is merciful and pulls the shade when we enter the birth canal. It´s like a curtain of "forgetfulness". This act of mercy is given us as we have an assignment for this life and we can´t really focus on more than one life at a time and make a go of it. But occasionally God raises the shade and shows us a frame or two from a previous life episode. This is usually done to remind or quicken our soul about the responsibilities and commitments we made before coming into embodiment.

Karma

 Think about this... There could be no such thing as divine or human justice if we had only one life. God´s justice can only be known in the outplaying of many lives in which we see past actions coming full circle in present circumstances. Our words and deeds return to us as our teachers.

My motto is : "There is no injustice anywhere in the universe." Amazing as it may seem, if we knew all the circumstances and ramifications of our past lives, even the karma of the various nations "rights" and "wrongs", we would see clearly that this is true. You see, the law of karma is a universal law of cause and effect, and therefore affects everyone. And this very fact is both a truth and a lesson we all must learn to fathom.

Reason For Being

 As I have mentioned in some previous articles it is important that the reader understands his or her reason for being. One must accept that we are "Soul". Our souls have a human body to function in whilst we experience and learn our lessons on planet Earth. Because that is what Earth is - a school room for the soul! Our souls must undergo lessons and initiations to be able to return to the Source of life. That is the goal for us all whether we know and accept it or not.

Initiations

To go a little deeper on this subject... Every soul must incarnate at one time or another under each one of the Zodiac signs. It is from the lessons learnt and the karma created that will determine our results for initiation, under the four elements, which are connected to each of the Zodiac signs. Namely Air, Fire, Water, Earth. It sounds a bit more complicated than it really is.

Let me try to simplify it :

 AIR INITIATION entails learning all about qualities such as brotherhood, sharing with others, understanding and tolerance, harmony and togetherness. This would imply to souls born under the star signs Aquarius, Gemini, Libra.

FIRE INITIATION entails learning to practice unconditional love, which is truly unselfish love. This lesson applies to souls born under the star signs Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

WATER INITIATION will require the learning of peace, balance, self control of ones emotions. These lessons involve souls born under the star signs Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio.

EARTH INITIATION requires the lessons of learning service to others, and doing good works for both God and mankind in the spirit of love (Christ). These lessons apply to the souls born under the star signs Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Naturally attached to these lessons are each individual´s own personal karma (actions) that must be accounted for if of a negative nature, from the past or present.

A Gift

 So you can understand now why I refer to Reincarnation as a "gift". Because that is what it truly is to every one of us. It is through reincarnation that we have the opportunity to perfect ourselves for the final journey home to Spirit, the Source of all life.

It is wonderful and comforting to know that life just continues and is eternal, especially for those that have lost someone dear to them.

In closing, a book I would recommend one to read for more on this subject is "The Path of the Soul" by White Eagle. It is most informative and gives one a very good insight and understanding about reincarnation.
