Reincarnation & Your Eternal Essence



What is Reincarnation?

In simple terms, reincarnation suggests that the essence of a being returns to human form repeatedly through the normal cycle of birth and death, for the purpose of soul development.

What is it that Reincarnates?

The soul or essence of a being is what reincarnates in human form. Many ancient and new age philosophies adhere to the premise that the soul takes on a succession of bodies in its sojourn through the Earth dimension. A cornerstone of the philosophy of reincarnation is that the soul animates the body, rather than the body takes on a soul. The essence of who we are springs from the eternal infinite essence of universal existence. Our souls are interconnected with the breadth and depth of our creative source.

A spark of our Creator is at the core of each one of us. This core is the essence of our being, and the source of all life. Not only are we part of the larger reality from which we derive our being, but also have an individuality of consciousness.

We have the capacity to shape or pattern our spiritual essence into unique expression. This capacity to create, shape or pattern the expression or manifestation of spirit in individual form is called mind. With the mind we literally create our reality. Our thoughts create the internal realities that react or respond to the world around us. Our internal world dictates our external manifestations of experiences. There is no such thing as an idle thought, for so called idle thoughts are the building blocks to more complex patterns of thinking, and belief systems. For example individual thoughts of compassion and mercy add to the compassionate beliefs that have been built in our minds by previous compassionate thoughts and experiences whereas thoughts of greed, or malice or lust latch on to their thought counterparts in our minds.

Thought patterns are entities and grow with feeding; and as thought patterns grow, they gather momentum and in some point on a time line find expression in the reality of matter.

As individuated spirits we are endowed with free will. From our core we decree the sovereign right to choose. We choose what the mind will form out of the raw substance of spirit, and we choose which of the mind’s creations we will activate and build on.

Solidity of an outcome is based on repetitive thought and choice. Spirit, our living breath, plus the mind and the will, is what is generally referred to as the soul. It is the part of us that is eternal, which experiences the succession of lives through reincarnation. Lifetimes cluster together because every experience has its own frequency and configuration of energetic rhythm; they become patterned and set trajectories of similar outcomes

The Soul Incarnate.

Becoming incarnate involves more than merely occupying a physical human form. Becoming incarnate is merging the soul with the physical human form. As long as we are merged with the physical form and the material reality that goes with it, the knowledge that we have of ourselves is at the level of ordinary awareness. This consciousness is several states removed from the consciousness of the soul entity.

Ordinary awareness or egoic awareness incorporates levels of distortions, created by the thought patterns of the collective human condition. Another way to describe this is we identify with personality self and the creations of our physical condition rather than with our own core or authentic nature. Like the women who knows herself only as mom, or the man who when asked his soul’s purpose on Earth answers “What do you mean? What do I do? I sell restaurant equipment? Or the soldier who believes he is protecting his nation from outside threats.

We have come to confuse the creations of the ego as they are manifested in the human condition with our deeper knowledge of who we are. People have lost their authentic core self in the false identities of their roles, professions, possessions and impulse pleasures.

Fusing spirit into matter often denies the luminous self. This is why we reincarnate in a succession of lives, to reawaken. Awakening to our authentic divine spark creates the desire to examine one’s life and choices.

Why do we Reincarnate?

The answer to this question concerns our deepest nature; our connectedness to all dimensions of our creative source. Creation does not discriminate; energy can pattern unconsciously or consciously depending on the intention. Nuclear energy is a creation as is the atom bomb.

All of our experiences lifetime after lifetime, are opportunities to develop into our highest potential as spiritual beings and make manifest our divinity in the physical realm. As with any creative process, our successive lives add the kind of breath and depth to our understanding that only comes with experience.

These reincarnated lives give us the opportunities to heal prior wounds, resolve unfinished business or harmonize an injustice while completing the soul mission. They allow us to realize our talents and abilities and deepen our capacity to love. In simplest terms, physical life on Earth gives us the opportunity to make choices and witness the results of those choices.

We incarnate in human form to comprehend the free will zone of our human creations and the human condition. Our free will is exercised lifetime after lifetime on the Earth plane. This is a grace of the human condition as well as a tribulation for right thought and action.

The process of reincarnation is often likened to a school for souls. The lessons we are here to learn have to do with the way we treat other people; how we handle such issues as love, creativity, power, and sexuality. We have exercised our free will by living out the shadow of the human condition with violence, sexual abuse, and the degradation of our planet with air, water and energy pollution. We have created warriors, police forces, armies and terrorists.

Our very reason for being is to co-create with God. According to the prophecy of the Mayan and Hopi elders along with many other indigenous people’s world wide, we as a species are entering a turning point of conscious creation beginning in the year 2012. The years leading up to and right after 2012 is a profound time of purification.

This time of purification gives mankind the ability to transmute the negativity of past unconscious human creation. A cosmic window is opening so that the imperfection of lifetimes of unconscious human creation can be cleared.

Humanity is now at the moment of divine authenticity. 2012 is the harbinger of a new possibility of co-creation sustained by meaningful unity where the inner and outer worlds are harmonious.

2012 activates the ascension of the authentic core self. Once this activation reaches critical mass a path to a luminous civilization begins and creations manifest from a Divinus code of living.

This path is supported by souls who have incarnated in the past on the planet and imprinted Divine templates of luminosity, examples are the Buddha and the Christ.

This Divinus code of living streams into the incarnated collective soul of humanity from the eternal essence of luminosity, humanity can then evolve from reincarnation to resource.
