REINCARNATION IN MORE DETAIL II

© Denise Lima

Over the course of many lifetimes we live many lives as separate individuals. When we leave this life we return to the spirit world as whole souls. We are filled with a lifetime of memories of the variety of lives that we have lives.

Is this confusing? I interpret it this way. It is simple. If you think of an actor or actress, here we have individuals who portray different characters in different movies. When the movie is done the actor returns to his normal life. Over the years this same individual continues to play different characters in movies, theater and television. However, this person always returns to his life with his friends, hobbies and family while the character's lives ended in the production. While this actor lives he will hold dear the memory of the characters that he portrayed through the years. The same premise can be applied to the soul when and individual passes on while the soul retains each life time memory.

Now the question remains why don't we remember our past live when we reincarnate into a new life. Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience states it simply, "According to various traditions forget fullness of past lives is necessary to the process of reincarnation."

Reincarnation is a part of our life cycle. If you examine it more closely you will begin to believe that it does exist. There are different cultures that discuss the theory of reincarnation and have a belief in it. As of right now there is no hard physical evidence for science to evaluate. There is proof in the little things in life. Then there is the fact that you recognize someone who you never met before. Then there are individuals who experience past life memories through hypnosis. When this person investigates this information they discover that this person in the past life actually existed. Then there are the children who are exceptionally gifted; some say that it is a left over memory from their former life.

Believe it or not even society and nature reflect the theory of Reincarnation. We use water in dams to create energy for our cities. When a tree dies then rots in the ground it provides nutrients for the soil and the undergrowth and insects. This only names a few examples of how life goes on through change.

It is only common sense our world is filled with objects dying then their energy is transformed into another form or use. Life does go on. Our soul is energy. Doesn't it stand to reason that it goes on but in a different form? Reincarnation is a fact of life and a simple concept to understand.
