Whether you believe in reincarnation or not here is an interesting thought;
according to karma yoga and physicist
we are simply a bundle of energy. And according to the laws of thermodynamics
energy is never lost, but simply changes form. Our energy field (body, mind,
soul) is a subtle form of motion like a wave or a pulse that goes on and on. It’s
energy and movement. We could conclude then that our energy (self) is never
lost; it simply changes form.
According to karma and many other philosophies
when we die our energy changes to a different form of energy and that energy
maintains the potential to return again to earth and change its form again. We
call it reincarnation
According to karma when we transcend to the astral world (die)
we go to the holdover place, which is not the final resting place.
It is a place for reflection. Free of emotions and sensations we make an
accurate appraisal of our deeds and misdeeds. We then decide what areas need
improvement and what areas need to be atoned. After we have reached the decision,
we find a suitable body and parents that will best help us accomplish our
mission. Because we cannot accomplish this without human emotions, experiences
and sensations we return to earth to take on earthly form and begin again.
On the spiritual plane, the karmic
debts appear reasonably easy, but in the physical world we once again
experience pain, cold, heat, grief, fear and physical limitations. We may
become so frustrated with the load of our karmic debt that we forget what we
set out to do. Life then becomes a repeat of a former life with different props
and players. However, if the new self does meet the challenges of life the
individual is on the road to enlightenment. Transcendence frees us from the
hold of the ego and from the cycles of physical rebirth and death, and the
wheel of karmic debt.
According to the laws of karma humans reincarnate on earth until they have
regained their status as children of the spiritual universe. Our present task is simply to make this
chapter (life) of our evolution a happy and fulfilling journey. It is about
releasing our soul from the bondage of karma so that we can find freedom,
purity and serenity.
When we uncover our karmic obligation,
we are faced with a decision; to conquer our fears and guilt, or allow them to
overwhelm us so that nothing gets resolved. To awaken and grow we must be
willing to become the witness and observer of our lives and learn to live from
a place of compassion, faith, balance, serenity, peace, strength and divinity.
Not an easy task. It takes work and that is karma. Let’s get started.
END
Remember, the present is created in the
past or the memory. We must, however, not be too frustrated if we do not
accomplish all that we would like in this lifetime. Simply let this chapter of
your life be a reflection of a truthful, happy and loving existence. Remember,
this is only a chapter in your book of life. There is no time limit for
completion of the book. And yet in a sense there is a hurry because if you wish
to end your suffering and continual rebirth you must sincerely seek to
transcend the lower humanly aspect of yourself. It is easy to fall into D-Gap
and allow deceit, greed, anger and pride rule your life. It takes work to identify
these things in yourself and overcome then with honesty, generosity, kindness and
humility. But when you learn to work you karma your life will begin to work for
you.
EGO
Reincarnation will not provide you with
a straight and clear path. You will soon discover that from here to there is
never a straight line. There will be many twists and turns, as well as many
detours. There will be low valleys and high mountain tops, as well as many
ravines. How low you go or how high you climb will depend upon your moral
compass. Let it be your guide and not the ego.
When life takes you on a detour don’t
resent it, fear it or avoid it. Be on the lookout for opportunities, adventures
and chances to learn and grow. You never know what you will find. But remember
as along as the ego is pushing you towards the path you are not on the path. You
must know when to pull back to your soul and work your karma, so your life
works for you. The true purpose of your journey here on earth is to do the work
that frees you from all encumbrances; body, mind and soul.
