Journey of the Soul - X

My queries on reincarnation were initially left unanswered. After my persistence on the subject, the answers started flowing to me. It was made clear that the answers come to me from her teacher spirit. I reproduce below what I learnt. All of the communication was vivid and the best learning that I have ever had. There may be some repetition in what I am going to write as the communication was also repetitive in some places, may be to emphasise on the criticality of the subject.

We draw to ourselves, in this existence and in all others, those qualities upon which we concentrate our attention. If we concentrate on our untoward experiences, on the hurts that we feel we have been subjected to, we will not only draw more similar experience in this lifetime but also in the next life. 

I asked that why this should happen when there are teachers and guiding spirits who counsel us during our sojourn in the spirit realm, between two incarnations, when the Soul has ample opportunity for review of its pat lives, contemplate on its progress and earn a deeper understanding. I was answered that similar teachers are also available in the physical world, who try to guide us on our path. Those of us who do not take advantage of the teachers in the physical world, seldom avail the learning opportunity in the spirit realm. The opportunities for development and knowledge are as present at this moment, in this life, as they will ever be. If we ignore the opportunities available now, day to day, no one can can provide greater opportunities and resources after death or between incarnations. No one, without exception, outside of ourselves can force us to change our course. We, all of us, are setting up our next lives now in this existence. The thoughts that we feel today, and the actions that we take arising out of those thoughts, will influence our experience in the next incarnation. When our actions create  discord in another person, we shall experience a similar discord in this existence or the next. Likewise if our actions create harmony and and joy in another, we will experience joy and harmony in this or the next incarnation. Hence we need to create our world very responsibly.

There is no magic potion to wash away all our bad thoughts and actions - our karma - after we depart from our body. So we should not expect that after our death we will enter a realm where only pleasure, glory, joy and no-work exists. Also no one is going to wait for you to inflict pain on you and punish you for your bad deeds. It s not going to happen that way. Yes, the spirit realm is not shackled by too many rules. There are abundant opportunities for learning. There is no one who is going to judge us, other than ourselves. But we will have to work through our karma and restore the balance. Different avenues for working through our karma will be shown to us by the highly evolved beings- the teacher and guiding spirits. the paths could lead to reincarnation in earthly plane or in a different plane of existence. It could be in reincarnation in the same family or in altogether different circumstances. It could be an extended stay in the spirit realm. The choices are many The choice of the path that we choose is left to us. No one is waiting for us with branding rods to inflict pain on us or punish us in other ways for our bad deeds. There is no externally inflicted punishment. The punishment is self inflicted - acute sense of shame, guilt, hallucination.The path to atonement is also self selected.In our thoughts and actions, now, lie the answers to what our afterlife and thereafter is likely to be. Similarly, any special talent that we are displaying now has been earned by us by our deeds in the past lives.

We must examine where we are now to correct course for evolving. Our evolution to higher levels is given. The path to evolution could be extremely tortuous and challenging or it could be an easy flowing phenomena, based on our current state. A good indicator of our current state is the kind of persons we have gathered around us. We are drawn to those persons, whom we have gathered, as they are drawn to us depending our common affinity - our common state. Just checking on our thoughts for a few minutes, several times a day, will also tell us the kind of person we are now. As mentioned earlier, if we are not correcting course and maintain the status-quo, we are also determining, now, what our next life is likely to be. So if we are not satisfied with the outcome of the self audits, it is time to start correcting ourselves.

Hate illness and we are inviting succeeding lives of illness. Instead love heath. Hate conflict and we are planning for succeeding lives of conflict. Love peace instead. (I draw attention here to my readers of my posts on The Law. It sounds so familiar to what we discussed in those posts). We must refrain from carrying the emotion and thoughts of hate. Hate harbored is hate continued - to be worked in the afterlife and thereafter. A man who hates always feels justified in his hate. He hates from the belief that he never hates that is good. Hatred is a very strong emotion and sticks. Left to itself, it destroys the carrier of hate.


More on reincarnation in the next post which will also be the concluding post of this series.


Good luck and God bless
