Reincarnation Or "Re-embodiment Of Soul" And Life Experiences; Biblical Evidence And How To Strive Toward Self Development And Improvements In A Present Life Time.

To get a proper view of reincarnation, some biblical personality and events will be used in retrospect.

The Master, Jesus the Christ was asked by his disciple about the person of Elijah, the Prophet who translated many years before the physical appearance of Jesus in flesh. The disciples were anxious to know about the appearance of Elijah Spirit in another form that will serve as a “forerunner” to Jesus as was predicted. Instead of Jesus opposing such sensitive concept of reincarnation, he confirmed, that Elijah’s Spirit came in a form unknown to many. And Jesus confirmed that he was killed in the form which he appeared as a forerunner to him, and then the disciples knew he was talking of John, the Baptist. When the Master confirmed this fact to his disciple, John had already been killed by the command of King Harold. John, the Baptist was previously inquired of during his mission if he was a reincarnation of any previously lived prophet but he was not able to give straight affirmation to that but rather used a figurative expression that, “he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord and make it straight”. Also it should be noted that John, the Baptist was simply trying to adhere to the Spiritual or Mystical Law of Silence in that occasion. I wish to add a pictorial reflections derived from a certain source below; 

                                

However, I wish to make some corrections on the fifth rule above; "when the right lessons are learnt and improvements made through karmic restitution, symbolic redemption are realized and unpleasant Karma erased. Redemption is possible due to the existence of Divine Love".

     Something should be known about reincarnation in reference to the analogy on John, the Baptist explained earlier. The physical body with the brain and other biological framework previously used by the Soul or Spirit is given up for another physical form with a new brain. The Spirit vibrates with the brain to produce the basis of the psychological functions of the Individual. From one incarnation to the other, another psychological form is acquired. In most cases, until a soul unfolds or is given permission to see into the past for a special purpose or reason, even a highly developed soul who does not have such “Divine Permission” may not understand their past life and there are those that can even deny it for a reason. Past life ego may affect present life process of spiritual development when not properly guided through another master.

     John, the Baptist when questioned by those who inquired of his link to any past prophets through reincarnation was still in the process of learning. He performed baptism and preached from the extent of his awareness and consciousness. An important moral lesson to learn from the life of John, the Baptist who was killed by the command of King Harold through beheading was what really went wrong when he served as Prophet Elijah in a past incarnation. Prophet Elijah was a great Cabbalist, very proficient in his “Art”. He was a Master of the Arts of Kabala. When trying to promote the Supremacy of his God of Realization over that of the Baal Prophet in an effort to evangelize had to instigate a contest of powers. When he won and aroused great amazement from observers, he gathered the Baal Prophets for execution instead of converting them. Whether he made an attempt to convert them or not after winning the contest of “Spiritual Powers” is not confirmed by me, but what you should note was that gathering the Baal Prophets for execution is against the ten commandments of God given through Moses to the Hebrews. “Thou shall not kill”. Jesus confirmed that he who kills another with the sword will die by the sword. Elijah, the Prophet from that time of the massacre of the Baal Prophets was hunted by Queen Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab to the point of Elijah hidings and later translation to the Astral Realm. Elijah, the Prophet passed through transition that was why his successor Prophet Elisha took the garment allotted to him. What was described of Elijah ascension in a chariot of fire was not in the physical but seen with the inner eyes or trance state of Prophet Elisha his successor.

     Hence, the Spirit of Elijah reincarnated as John, the Baptist in the womb of the Jewish Woman, Elizabeth. As John, the Baptist he had a Spiritual Calling but also had a past life score or karma to settle. Through, special insights we found out that Jezebel reincarnated in the body of the woman who played the role of Harold's Wife. Also Harold may possibly be the reincarnation of King Ahab which explained why the attachment of Harold to the woman who left his brother, Philip, to be with him. Herodias as the wife of King Harold was in an unholy and abominable union because the previous husband, Philip was a brother to Harold and both alive at the same time. This is a taboo in Jewish customs and tradition. Herodias had natural hatred for John, the Baptist linked to past life incarnations and was quick to request through her daughter Salome, for John, the Baptist to be beheaded at a sensitive moment in the psychological state of King Harold. King Harold was not a mentally balanced person. 

     The intrigues of reincarnation in the above illustrations can be found through insights and it explains why some events happened and played out the way it did due to karmic links from past lives. Reincarnation is what explains why some disciples of Jesus were later killed during their mission as preachers though not properly or completely documented in the bible. However, Church History gave such record but some killing was also instigated as martyrdom for mission Karma. Jesus was not killed on the basis of reincarnation karma, but was killed because the forces of darkness were strongly opposed to his mission. Mission Karma is what a Soul experiences as a consequence of a mission undertaken and has nothing to do with the “Law of sowing and reaping”. 

                              

       As regards further facts on reincarnation, some so called Christians are quick to quote; “it is appointed unto man to die once, after which comes judgment” accredited to Paul but remains one of the errors found in the revising of the scriptures, as well as errors in transliteration from the original manuscripts quoted by some without rational insights. First of all, the Apostle Paul is subject to human limitations. He lived at a time the consciousness of mankind was still evolving of which majority were yet to have higher perspectives of Spiritual Realities. His messages were tailored to suit certain tendencies of the people of his time to abuse certain spiritual privileges like reincarnation concept which some may then excuse for moral laxity. The actual statement of Apostle Paul was, “it is appointed unto man to die, once comes judgment”. The aspect of man revealed in that illustration is not the physical body but the inner aspects of being or Soul. Hence, the concept of Spiritual Death of which the death concept is symbolic of final disconnection of Soul from the special privileges of God when found wanting or unworthy in final judgment. Paul was referring to final judgment and not physical death. Paul was actual referring to the Karmic Consequences of not ensuring that the Individual Soul reconnects back to his the Paradise of the Human Spirit when the Individual goes into transition burdened with the weight of sinful life. The reading accredited to Paul in the Bible which opposes the concept of reincarnation is erroneous but if you are to decipher it for what have been understood there is absolute Symbolism in them.  

                              

     Physical Death or Transition in Biblical terms was actually called “final slumber” in the Bible. For example expressions like this, “So David slept with his father………..” To distinguish this, it was written, “the Soul that sin shall die”, which is symbolic depicts the final judgment of a Soul. Jesus was beckoned on the issue of Lazarus who died but he stated that Lazarus was in slumber. This point out the fact that the bible may not have used a direct expression for physical death which is known in human terms as death but have mostly used the concept of “final sleep” in such circumstances.

    Reincarnation is based on the Law of Divine Grace as well as the Law of Karma. A soul which inhabits a physical body has its time to expire its use of that body. The Soul is cloaked by forms like the Astral and Ethereal Cloaks. This moves on with the closest form to the physical body in transition which is the Astral, a prototype of the physical body not visible to ordinary eyes. The Astral is viewed with “Astral Eyes” or in a dream state or trance state. With the discard of the physical body, the Soul in an Astral form hovers around for a while, during the time the magnetic current strings or thin linings called the “silver chord” still connects the Astral to the physical body which is presumed dead. During such moments, it is able to cross physical boundaries without limits but cannot be observed by the ordinary physical senses. Only those that are psychically alert can sense their presence. Except in rare conditions, when the formative elements of the physical forms are taped from nature under the assistance of “higher forces” can phenomenal appearance of someone presumed dead in the physical can occur but this is a very rare occurrence. But such bodies are vanishing bodies which exist for temporal moments under conditions considered purely esoteric.

     When attempts are made by soul to move to higher grounds of experiences, the silver chord have to be absolutely severed from the dead physical body. A realm exists above the Astral Realms called the Causal Plane, the plane existing in the Ethereal Worlds just above the Astral. The Astral is also part of the World of Fine Gross Matter but because of its purely gaseous nature it is assumed to be of another nature of world outside gross material. The Astral World is very vast and far wider than the physical world but the specie of elements there is similar to the physical but different, the best term to use is that the Astral World is parallel to the Physical World. When the “silver chord” is finally disconnected from the physical body after a while of such physical death, the Soul first move up to the first boundary of the Causal Plane above but nearer to the Astral. There he or she encounters the “mirrors” of the previous life in the Akashic Records. The Soul is judged by what it encounters which determines further upward movement or downward movement. The conscience is intensively chastised by what is observed. The Soul found wanting cannot move up further to the luminous heights but sinks down to experience the places in the Astral Worlds were it hovers as a result of what it has incurred from the life lived in the physical world. It may experience something that is figuratively described as hell as a result of sin it has carried on within. The biblical hellish world is found in the Astral but created as a cosmic reaction from the sin of mankind on earth. 

     God never created hell but the sins of mankind created such state in certain region of the Astral. As a consequence of the “Law of Karma”, the soul is judged according to what it has earned living in places where it can get purged of the “dark forces” attached to its soul. In such places the Soul yearns for mercy or help. Human language cannot describe in actual detail the gruesome torment faced there. If he or she wishes not to suffer further in that world, a Guardian Angel operating on the Law of Divine Grace and the great Love of Almighty God, may usher the soul out of that World even without the complete purging of the Soul. In such cases the Soul is taken to a place in the Astral that gives him or her some relief from the torment of the hellish regions. Another incarnation into the lower worlds of the physical is prepared for such Soul. Please it should be noted that not all regions of the Astral is unpleasant, some are very pleasant that are mistaken to be heaven by the unguided souls here on earth that venture to explore them through “Astral Projections” or certain "Out Of Body Experiences". However, souls that are not completely purged of past life sins are still subject to the unpleasant karma of such sin in another incarnation on earth. Not every Soul indebted to sin goes to the hellish worlds of the Astral based on choice after the mirrors of life have been unfolded to them, in such cases the past life karma is very much unpleasant in next incarnations after playing around in the Astral realms if in the past life such karma have not been worked out or lessons learnt. Some Souls after been purged of past life sins in hellish regions of the Astral may still have to sink down to the physical world for another incarnation because they cannot rise to the higher realms because of more lessons that are needed to be learnt in the physical worlds. All souls ready for another incarnation have diverse reasons needed for them to come back strictly regulated by the Divine Justice System. However, all will need the other regions of the Astral Worlds which are not hellish but not a heaven, temporarily before another incarnation. Places in the Astral exist where Souls are prepared for another incarnation or reincarnation or re-embodiment on earth based bodies. Based on the grace of God, each Soul has a Guardian Angel that sees them through the beyond and the physical. The Guardian Angels were instrumental in the creation of human souls and work with the Almighty God in fulfilling his Will on each Soul. They monitor the progress of each Soul assigned to them in the Lower Worlds. Human Souls may or may not be conscious of them based on their level of Spiritual Development [In the bible book of Genesis Chapter 1 one of verses indicates,"……. and God said let us create mankind after our image and likeness……” derived from the original Hebrew translations].

     In the Astral, there are Souls that may qualify to move on to the more luminous realms but only when nothing holds them back to the lower worlds based on the Laws of Spiritual Gravity and Karma. However, the Guardian Angels ushers them to the higher worlds if such human souls are found worthy of higher worlds of experiences. If a Soul before departing the physical world at physical death or transition have overcome the effect of sin and have perfected the lessons of life in the physical then such ascent beyond the World of Astral is also made possible. To such souls reincarnation is not necessary. The higher worlds beyond the Astral are based on the nature of the Soul’s Spiritual Convictions and places were the Enlightenment previously acquired can take such to. For those coming back to earth for another incarnation in a process called reincarnation or re-embodiment, a place in the Astral is used for their recycling as “baby soul” when they are ready for another life on earth. They are ushered to a suitable environment, mother and natural circumstances that complement their unique assignments and lessons needed to be learnt on earth. All based on what have been earned from past lives. At the mid month of a woman pregnancy an awaiting baby soul fuses into the developing fetus aligning with the umbilical chord, then a silver chord is formed which gives the unborn baby link with such soul. That is the Spiritual reason why a woman at around the mid month of pregnancy experiences the first twitches of the baby in the womb. This is in accordance with the Physics Law of Inertial, that an imposition force leads to the motion of a body or interjects the motion of a body. However, biological reasons apply to such movement of the body in the womb but the mood changes of the pregnant woman at the mid month of pregnancy is more than just biological factors. The psychological factors prevailing around the pregnant woman are not to be taken for granted. Forces linked to a human soul which is invisible but in need of a body for earth life experiences are indispensable. It is also noted that while the woman is pregnant, the incarnated soul may occasionally project for psychic reasons when the baby in the womb is having momentary sleep and the woman may have some experiences in her dream state of the actual soul personality that have incarnated but such cases are not always so for all women. When the woman finally gives birth, the baby outside the womb at the first breath forms a firm connection with the Soul to the body it took in the womb. Some mystic are wrong in the assumption that soul first enters the body at birth with the first breath rather it is the firm connection that is established at birth. It is the occasional projections of the baby soul that confuses the mystic when the woman is pregnant. A pregnant woman must be very careful with psychological and spiritual factors around her during pregnancy. As well as where she goes, whom she associate with, the food she eats and many other issues during her pregnancy.

    Earth life is subject to a lot of experiences which are emotionally described as good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant. Whatever is experienced exist for a reason. The Master, Jesus was asked by his disciples over a sensitive case of a person with a certain physical disability of whose faults was such problem existing and the question had some connotation of reincarnation factor. If reincarnation was not real, Jesus would have used the opportunity to speak contrary to such in the discuss with his disciples. Due to Divine Grace, each life experiences is meant to be better than previous life experiences, if the necessary lessons are learnt and improvements made. A life that focuses on prayers, good living and quest for Enlightenment is very progressive. We must strive to be better at all times and use the opportunities given to us by Divine Grace. Reincarnation back to another earth life is limited based on final judgment of the soul. Overtime an erring soul may not be given further chances but “eternal damnation”.

     When a Soul moves on to dream state experiences, you may discover that one hour of sleep in physical timing may read something like a week or more in dream life where the persons sleeps and wakes several times not knowing such was a dream. A soul in the beyond does have another system of timing different from the physical. In the beyond, one month while the person is physically dead may read thousands of years in the Astral Time experiences. Hence, there in the Astral thousands of years in the hellish realms of experiences may just only be one month since the person physically died in physical timing. A human being is born at a certain time under the effect of stellar radiations or positioning of the stars, celestial influences, certain family and environment for certain reasons. He or She must strive to know his or her true purpose. There is a Guardian Angel that communes with the Soul in a pure state of mind and influences the pure intuitions of mankind. Under certain vocations each soul exhibit certain gifts allotted to them in this earth life through which unpleasant karma from past life may be averted. This present earth life is subject to the Divine Grace and the Love of God, and each Human Soul should be responsive to them.
