Reincarnation. Lessons and meaning of soul rebirths

Every person, regardless of religion, at least once in his life thought about what awaits him after death. Someone does not believe in the existence of a parallel reality, someone is convinced that they will go to heaven or hell, and someone is looking for all kinds of evidence of the reincarnation of the soul, hoping for rebirth in a new body. The latest version is gaining more and more popularity. Many people believe that a person can be reborn, and even films about reincarnation are made, after watching which the hypothesis looks more than convincing.

Where did the theory come from?

Representatives of Judaism and Buddhism were the first to believe in the transmigration of souls after death. It is these beliefs that formed the basis of religions that contain love for the world, the wisdom of the ages, as well as faith in infinity. Eastern sages have always been confident that immortality. Despite the fact that our body ages and then completely dies, the spiritual personality remains.

Each of us has moments when we are forced to say goodbye to loved ones, realizing that we will never see them again. However, if you believe the Eastern sages who know the laws of reincarnation, the deceased can be met, but only in a completely different image. The soul is able to move into another body, which does not have to be human. It could be any animal, for example a dog.

There are a colossal number of stories that relatives of deceased people perceive as evidence of the reincarnation of the soul. Perhaps there are some in your family too. Try to remember. Maybe the same bird often sits on your fence and is not afraid of you or even behaves strangely, trying to attract attention. Some people regard such manifestations as a wild fantasy, an ordinary coincidence, but there are also those who listen to their inner voice and see in this a certain sign.

From a scientific point of view

Scientists, philosophers and esotericists have been trying for centuries to unravel this mystery, to find convincing evidence of the reincarnation of souls. Many years of work on a version that suggests the possibility of transmigration of spiritual matter from one body to another has given rise to a variety of hypotheses.

One of the theories says that the human soul performs a certain function, namely, maintaining natural balance. In each life she receives the necessary experience, and after the death of her physical body, she moves to another, but always of the opposite sex.

If the deceased was not buried according to the rules or his tombstone was violated by vandals, then the person into whom the soul will move will experience serious mental health problems. He may develop illnesses such as schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, or persecution delusions. If you believe this hypothesis, then all people with mental disorders ended their past lives unsuccessfully.

The transmigration of souls after death can leave a mark on the body, for example, in the form of moles. One of the theories that arose in the process of studying this phenomenon indicates that large birthmarks are marks from the past. To be more precise, these are the places where there were scars on your “old” body. Perhaps a large birthmark indicates a mortal wound that killed the person whose soul now lives in you.

Some sources claim that the souls of people who led an incorrect lifestyle continue to exist in the body of animals. However, this version causes a lot of controversy among those who professionally deal with this issue. Most are convinced that the human soul is not capable of taking root in the body of an animal.

Eastern religion has its own views on this matter. The sages believe that the soul of a person who has sinned greatly during life is doomed to a long and painful existence in the body of, for example, a dung beetle. It is also believed that energy matter that has left a person who has done a lot of troubles during his life can be imprisoned in a stone or some household item.

Some people tell incredible stories, assuring others that from time to time images and memories appear in their minds that are in no way connected with real life. They are convinced that these are “pre-reincarnation” fragments reproduced at the level of cellular memory.

Most likely, among those who are now reading this article, there will be people who know firsthand about déjà vu. There are a huge number of explanations for this phenomenon, but no one has come to a consensus that would completely reveal the secret of this strange feeling.

Some believe that this occurs due to the closure of intracerebral impulses, while others are confident that this is a layering of intertemporal periods on top of each other. When experiencing a state of déjà vu, people begin to think that everything that is happening around them has already happened before. It’s as if they were at exactly this time and in this place, they absolutely clearly predict the further development of events and even know what their interlocutor will say next. It is unlikely that so many coincidences can happen at one time.

Several documented cases

Experiments aimed at establishing the facts of reincarnation were carried out long before various equipment and scientific laboratories appeared. Thus, in eastern countries there were unique burial traditions. A puncture was made to a deceased person in a certain part of the body, and when a newborn was born, they looked for a mole on it in a similar place. Have you ever wondered what your birthmarks are? Perhaps their appearance is not accidental.

Many years later, researcher Jim Tucker became interested in this custom and documented the most interesting cases of reincarnation. Thus, one of his texts says that a year after the death of his grandfather, a baby was born. There was a strange mole on his arm, exactly in the place where a mark had been left before the funeral of the deceased.

But the weirdness didn't end there. A few years later, when the boy began to talk, he suddenly addressed his grandmother in a diminutive form, just as his grandfather liked to do. After the death of her husband, no one called the elderly widow that. Everyone was in deep shock, and the boy’s mother admitted that she saw her father in a dream, who did not want to part with his family and was looking for a way to return home.

Crescent

In the same book about reincarnation there is another case that makes people think about the likelihood of the existence of this phenomenon. A woman named Diana worked at a public hospital located in Miami her entire adult life. In the hospital she met her soulmate. The man Diana married and then married had a birthmark that resembled a crescent moon.

The couple lived for many years in love and joy, but the most interesting thing happened at an appointment with a psychotherapist. A woman shared a story that supposedly happened in her previous life. She claimed that she was in the body of an Indian woman who was forced to hide from the European colonialists who occupied America. Once, in order not to give away herself and the crying child she was holding in her arms, the woman had to cover his mouth. Inadvertently, she strangled the baby, who had a crescent-shaped mole on the back of his head.

Fatal wound

Modern scientists also had to deal with the example of reincarnation. A boy was born in a Turkish town. Over time, he began to claim that he remembered numerous fragments from a past life in which he was a soldier. The boy said that when he was a soldier, he was shot with a large-caliber gun. The wound turned out to be fatal. He first began talking about his memories at a very young age, having absolutely no idea what reincarnation was. Later it became known that a file with a medical history of a soldier who was admitted for treatment with a wound to the right area of ​​his face was found in the archives of a local clinic. A week later he died. Is it worth saying that the boy was born with multiple congenital defects on the right side of his face?

Evidence of Soul Reincarnation

Modern psychotherapists and psychologists often use a technique known as regression of past years. Using it together with hypnosis, you can restore memories that are deep in the subconscious.

Most likely, everyone has heard or seen in films how a patient is immersed in a state of hypnosis, after which it is possible to remember not only facts, for example, from early childhood, but even from a past life. When a person is brought to his senses, he remembers absolutely nothing of what he said to the doctor while in hypnosis. This practice makes it possible to understand all the subtleties of the human worldview. There are several cases that describe clear facts that confirm the existence of reincarnation after death.

In medicine, there is such a thing as false memories. Researchers conducted a survey among children of different ages. To their surprise, most of the guys vividly described the last minutes of their previous lives. As a rule, death occurred as a result of violent acts, and the events themselves occurred several years before the children interviewed were born. The most realistic and believable stories were from children aged 2 to 6 years.

Twilight Zone

And here is one of the situations that Brian Weiss, a psychoanalyst with many years of experience, described in his works. During the next session, to which a girl patient came, the doctor put her into a trance state. Katherine (that was the patient's name) began to say that she felt the presence of Brian's father, as well as his son, who died due to heart problems. It is worth noting the fact that the girl knew absolutely nothing about the doctor’s personal life and could not guess what tragedy Weiss experienced. A similar phenomenon, when someone sees the deceased relatives of their interlocutor, is usually called the “twilight zone.”

A story about two brothers

An even stranger story happened in the seventies of the last century. The young woman had a son named Kevin. At the age of two, the boy died from blood cancer caused by a complex fracture of his leg, which did not heal properly. They desperately tried to save the young patient and administered a course of chemotherapy. A catheter was inserted through his neck on the right side, and a scar appeared in the area of ​​his left ear due to deformation of the eye. The baby died in terrible pain.

Ten years later, the woman who lost her son gave birth to another child, but from a different man. The newborn boy developed a birthmark in the exact place where the deceased baby’s scar was. It later turned out that the second son had congenital problems with his left eye, and also limped on the leg that was broken in his older brother, although no pathologies were found.

Having become an adult, the guy told incredible stories, revealing the whole essence of reincarnation. He claimed that the soul of his elder brother was reborn in his image. He accurately recounted the entire medication course, and also accurately indicated the location of the catheter. In addition to memories associated with pain and suffering, the guy remembered his old place of residence, describing in detail a house that, in fact, he had never been to.

Burmese girl with Japanese background

The world learned about this story thanks to the work of psychiatrist Ian Stevenson, who described an amazing case in his teachings on reincarnation. In the sixties of the last century, a girl was born in Burma, who, at the age of three, began to talk about how she had been a Japanese soldier in a past life. According to her, local residents burned him alive, tying him tightly to a tree.

In addition to the fact that the girl was overcome by terrible memories, she was radically different from her peers in her behavior. She did not recognize Buddhism, did not wear long hair, and slapped the children with whom she periodically walked on the playground in the same way as the Japanese soldiers who attacked Burma did.

It is worth noting the fact that she was an unusual child from birth. An obvious defect was noticeable on the girl’s right hand: the ring and middle fingers were fused, resembling the membrane of waterfowl. A few days later, doctors amputated some of the phalanges, and the child's mother claims that on her daughter's right arm there was a mark that resembled a burn, as well as stripes that looked very similar to marks from ropes.

30 rupees

To the question of whether reincarnation exists, you will be given a positive answer by the residents of the village of Alluna Miana, which is located in India. This is where a boy named Taranjit Singh lived. At the age of two, he stated that in his previous life he was an ordinary student named Satnam Singh, who lived sixty kilometers from his home village of Taranjita.

The boy told his parents that his previous life was cut short as a result of a ridiculous accident, namely after a scooter flew into a student. The boy also said that he remembers the last seconds of his former existence, as if he was lying in a pool of blood, with notes and textbooks lying around. Taranjit remembered that at the time of the accident he had exactly thirty rupees in his pocket.

The boy’s words were not taken seriously for a long time, because in the village, where the population is poorly educated, no one knows what reincarnation is. However, the father, tired of his child’s constant stories, decided to understand the situation and get to the bottom of the truth. He learned that a guy with that name really lived and then died under the wheels of a scooter. Having gone with their son to a neighboring village, they found the house where Satnam lived. His parents were shocked by what facts from their son’s life were being operated on by someone else’s child. They confirmed that Satnam was dying in a pool of blood, with textbooks scattered around, and that he had thirty rupees in his pocket at the time of his death.

Rumors about the incredible rebirth of the soul quickly spread throughout the province. Local authorities turned to experts who were asked to conduct an examination. Taranjit was asked to write a few sentences, after which forensic handwriting was done. Everyone was truly bewildered when it turned out that the handwriting of both guys was almost identical.

Xenoglossy

In medicine, there are often cases when people begin to speak foreign languages, sometimes the most exotic ones. Most often, this phenomenon becomes a consequence of clinical death, severe traumatic brain injury or stress. In parapsychology, this condition has its own name - xenoglossy.

For example, a person living in Russia can suddenly speak Turkish, without any accent. The only explanation that comes to mind is that in a past life he was a Turk.

For clarity, we can give a real example that took place in medical practice. So one American woman, born into a family of immigrants from Eastern Europe who spoke Czech, Russian and Polish, began to surprise those around her. At an appointment with a psychoanalyst, while under hypnosis, a woman suddenly spoke in Swedish, introducing herself as a peasant who once lived in Sweden. Despite the fact that the people who followed the test did not believe the woman at all, the polygraph showed that she was telling the truth. There is not a single person in her family who knows Swedish, and she has never been interested in learning it. However, this did not stop the woman from speaking it without an accent.

Films about reincarnation

Famous directors working with the “Mysticism” genre could not ignore such a phenomenon. The best films based on real stories about the transmigration of souls can be called: “Birth”, “Little Buddha”, “Restless Anna”.

Briefly, we can give the following definition of the concept of reincarnation:

Definition

Reincarnation is the physical process of a soul moving into another body after death.
Or in another way: reincarnation is the reincarnation of the soul.

But here a logical question immediately arises: what is the Soul then and why does it need this process of reincarnation.

Let's look at all these questions in this article.

So, pay attention to Fig. 1 below. Let's start right away with the main definitions. To quickly and clearly understand how Man works on the subtle planes of the existence of matter, what is the physics of the reincarnation of the soul, that is, the relocation, reincarnation of the soul.

Rice. 1. Graphic structure of reincarnation - relocation, reincarnation of the soul

In this picture you see the physical body of a person with 3 orbitals of brain activity (biological, social and spiritual), behind which a certain “sausage” “stretches” - an energy-information trail called the human memory body. This subtle-material structure - the body of memory - as a database stores detailed information about all the events that occurred in the life of a given person in the current (current) incarnation from the point of birth to the moment “I am here and now” - the moment in which the the physical body of a person in the space-time continuum.

This body of memory is precisely the Soul of a person. It also has another name: the mental body.

Synonyms

Thus, memory body = mental body = Human soul are synonyms.

Rice. 2. The structure of the human mental body (Soul) participating in the processes of reincarnation

So, trying to understand the question of what reincarnation is and how the reincarnation (transmigration) of the soul occurs, we first found out what the Human Soul is, and at the same time, we gave an affirmative answer to the question, is there life after death.

Reincarnation is the reincarnation of the Spirit, not the Soul!

To understand what we are talking about, let's look at Fig. again. 1.

As we have already found out, the Soul is an energy-information object, which is a memory body of the current incarnation of a person from the point of birth to the present moment in time.

But, taking as a given the presence of previous incarnations in a person, we can also talk about the Soul (that is, the body of memory) of the previous incarnation.

From Figure 1 we also see that the entire sequence of human incarnation bodies (memory bodies of previous incarnations) spirals into a spherical object that already belongs to the next plane of stable existence of matter - the Causal (see Figure 3).

This spherical object is precisely the Spirit of man.

Thus, it turns out that the Human Spirit is a subtle-material object consisting of Souls (memory bodies) of incarnations.

Therefore, reincarnation is not a reincarnation of the Soul, but of the Spirit, since the Spirit is a structure that exists outside of time, and the Soul is a structure that has its own lifetime, calculated by the duration of one or another incarnation.

So, once again: the reincarnation of the soul or the relocation of the soul after death to another body are not entirely correct concepts from the point of view of the physics of the processes of reincarnation. That's right: reincarnation (transmigration) of the Spirit.

Rice. 3. Stable plans for the existence of matter, in accordance with which the reincarnation of the soul occurs during reincarnation

Reincarnation. Laws of physics

1. During reincarnation, that is, when the Spirit is reincarnated from one physical body to another, as a rule, a change of gender occurs. That is, if in this incarnation the Soul undergoes experience in a female body, then in the previous incarnation the Soul most likely received experience in a male body and vice versa. Alternation of gender is necessary for a polar and balanced set of experiences by the Spirit (see Fig. 1). Therefore, if you are interested in the answer to the question, who was I in a past life, then you should start by understanding this fundamental law of gender alternation in the cycle of reincarnation.
2. If the previous incarnation (more precisely, the soul of the previous incarnation) was closed incorrectly or incompletely during the reincarnation process, this can lead to “greetings from the past”: a split personality, as well as an excessive manifestation of masculine qualities on the female body in the current incarnation (the same applies to excessive manifestation of feminine qualities in the male body and personality of the current incarnation)
3. Transformation (reincarnation) of the Spirit occurs, as a rule, according to the law of increasing vitality. That is, the reverse transition from a person to an animal or insect no longer occurs during subsequent reincarnations! But the transition from animal forms of life to human forms as the Spirit develops and reincarnates is a natural phenomenon.

Reincarnation during life. What it is! Calculation based on new date of birth

In special cases, when the task of a particular Soul in the current incarnation from the point of view of the Spirit has already been completed, but there is no need to change the biological carrier (physical body), the procedure of reincarnation (relocation) of a new soul with new tasks to a given physical body can be performed. Such phenomena of soul reincarnation without a change in the biological carrier can be accompanied by processes of clinical death, or some serious life shocks, after which a person begins to feel completely different, with changed views on the world, with different habits and goals in life.

As an example of such reincarnation, the transmigration of the soul during life, a story was recently shown on television, which told about an American who spent three months in a coma, and when he woke up, he turned out to be a Swede - there was a complete replacement of personality, memory, knowledge and skills, including his native language.

In such situations, if you take the date of an event that happened to a person as a new starting point, as a new date of his birth, and build an astrological chart for this date, or use numerological analysis of reincarnation by date of birth, then you can learn a lot of interesting things regarding the new tasks that will arise before a new soul in the same physical body.

Actors and the transmigration of souls. Transformations live

The process of temporary relocation of the soul to another body can be observed first-hand in actors. Here we should distinguish between 2 types of roles into which reincarnation can occur:

• fictional characters (heroes of stories, books)
• real characters (people who lived previously or are currently living)

We can talk about the temporary transmigration of the soul into another body in the case when an actor plays the role of a real character. In the process of setting up for a role, the actor needs to study in detail the character, behavior and way of thinking of the person into whom he will be reincarnated. The actor needs to synchronize, get used to the image of the chosen character, begin to think, hear, see and feel life in the same way as his hero (heroine). In this way, attunement to the Soul of another person and synchronization with it occurs.

After this, the actor needs to “turn off” (weaken) his own Personality and let a Role, that is, another Soul, into this space, temporarily transferring to it the rights to use his physical body. After the temporary transmigration of another soul into the actor’s body is completed in this way, you can place it in the conditions of a scenario in which this character will live and interact with other people. And the less the personality of the actor himself is manifested in his character, the more fully the temporary transmigration (reincarnation) of someone else’s soul into the actor’s body occurs, the more we will want to say: “I believe,” observing the resurrected Soul of another person through the actor (if the actor produced reincarnation into any person from the past) or as a clone (fragmented Soul) of some person from the present.

Rules of acting:

A good actor does not play a role, but allows himself to be played by the role.

Rice. 5. Reincarnation into a role as a process of temporary relocation of the soul

Very often, such temporary invitations of other people’s souls into one’s body (transmigration of souls by invitation), which occur during multiple reincarnations of an actor in various roles, lead to serious consequences for the health and for the fate of the actor himself as a Person. You can be convinced of this by reading the life stories of famous artists who played the roles of some complex and tragic characters in our history in their artistic careers.

Historical reference:

In the recent past, the Church even forbade burying actors in a common cemetery, considering their souls “spoiled.”

Also, in the case when an actor tunes in to the role of a fictional character (the hero of a story, short story, book), he, as it were, creates a “virtual” Soul-matrix, into which he is then reincarnated. But there is also a danger here: if a given character (for example, the main character of a famous novel) has already been repeatedly played by other actors, then this “virtual” Soul of the main character already exists in the general energy-information space and, even without being the soul of a real person with a real life story, it has no less influence on the fate of the actor, who tunes in to it and allows for the temporary relocation of this soul into his body, since this “virtual” Soul is created and fed by the energy of other actors who previously played this role , as well as the attention and emotions of the audience who empathized with this role. Therefore, such strong “virtual” characters also often leave their mark on the fate, personality and health of the actor, just like the roles of real people from the past or present.

Rice. 6. The influence of the roles played on the personality and fate of the actors

In this regard, special attention in the acting environment has to be paid not only to high-quality transformation into a role (temporary relocation of the soul to another body), but also technologies for high-quality exit from the role- reincarnation back into your body and into your Personality.

We will look at this topic in more detail in one of our next articles.

Short-term reincarnation. Transmigration of souls as a temporary possession

This type of reincarnation can be observed and even experienced in the process of training on systemic family constellations by B. Hellinger. This happens as follows: when analyzing any life situation of one of the training participants (object A), some of the other training participants become actors taking on the roles of “father”, “mother”, “child”, “brother”, “ex” husband", "wife", etc. the person whose problem is now being analyzed and modeled (object A). The most interesting thing is that with the so-called “transfer-projection” of the family roles of object A onto the selected training participants, they begin to model them quite accurately, displaying similar character traits and types of behavior. What happens is nothing more than a temporary possession (infection) of the selected “actors” by someone else’s behavior matrices. That is, we can say that in this case, a temporary relocation (sharing) of souls into the bodies of the “actors” participating in the training also occurs. We consider how environmentally friendly this is and what consequences it leads to in a separate article, but the fact of partial transmigration (reincarnation) of the soul is also observed here.

The impact of genetic karmic programs during the reincarnation of the soul

When considering issues of reincarnation, it is also necessary to take into account that the reincarnation of the soul occurs in a physical body, which is “generated” by the genetics of the father and mother. Thus, the karmic tasks of the Family that gave birth to this physical body are also connected to the karmic tasks of the Spirit who has embodied in this physical body. That is, in the current incarnation, the center of human consciousness monitors, as a rule, 3 types of tasks (problems):

• karmic tasks set by the Spirit to be worked out in the current incarnation
• personal “egoistic” tasks
• karmic debts (encumbrances), soullessness according to genetic gender

Reincarnation. What is the meaning of reincarnation? How to get out of the circle of Samsara

Samsara is the cycle of reincarnations of the Spirit in various physical bodies (objects) in accordance with the law - the law of cause-and-effect relationships.

Our physical world can be considered as a “school” into which young, immature Spirits are brought up for education, who are “born” by subtle-material objects of higher orders of dimensions - Parents.

Reincarnations of the Spirit in this context can be compared to transitions from one class to another - with a diary and grades received in previous incarnations - the law of karma.

Rice. 9. Reincarnation. Exit from the circle of Samsara, the laws of Karma by analogy with the school diary

There are poor spirits who have to be kept in the same class for the second year several times until they have learned some important experience and passed all the tests. Such a Spirit can have many incarnations in its structure, but quantity does not mean quality: if one Spirit “Vasya” may need one incarnation to learn the experience of tolerance and stop taking away scoops and cars from children in the common sandbox in which they all play together, then another Spirit “Kola” may need as many as 10 incarnations to realize this “simple” experience and coordinate your desires with the laws of the Universe.

Moreover, it is quite possible that this Kolya will change his consciousness only when, in one of his incarnations, the laws of karma bring him into a common sandbox with other similar Kolyas, who will all together begin to take away the scoop from him!

Rice. 10. Spirits with excellent results and Spirits with poor performance

There are excellent Spirits who learn quickly, gain the necessary experience, pass final exams and... And leave the circle of Samsara.

There are spirit prodigies who, in just a couple of incarnations, understand the deep meaning of physical existence, quickly pass all tests with excellent marks and voluntarily leave the circle of physical reincarnations.

• Service in the Heavenly Office
• Parenthood

In general, as below, so above!

Conclusion

So, in this article we gave basic definitions of the concepts of reincarnation, reincarnation and transmigration of souls, considering them from a physical point of view in the context of the energy-informational structure of a person, and also looked a little behind the scenes of the circle of Samsara.

The one who is born will certainly die, and the one who dies will be born again...

Bhagavad-gita, 2.27

Reincarnation, or reincarnation, is the opportunity given to us by God to be born again. The entire Universe and man as a particle of it develops and lives according to certain Laws. They are called Divine or Cosmic Laws. These Laws state that everything that exists in the Cosmos - minerals, plants, animals, humans - undergo certain Cycles of Evolution. These Cycles are usually called Epochs.

The Earth revolves around the Sun in one astronomical year, our Solar System revolves around the center of the Galaxy in 25,788 years, and our Galaxy revolves around the center of the Universe in approximately 200 million years. All these are cycles, eras, time. And the life of the human Soul is subject to these cycles. As the soul goes through a cycle, it evolves, and at the end of the cycle it passes an exam for maturity. And the measure here is the well-known Galactic Law of Cause and Effect, commonly known as Karma. And the driving force behind the evolution of the soul is reincarnation.

Most people in the world have always believed in reincarnation - the transmigration of souls. This belief was widespread not only in the East, but also in the West. Before the era of Christianity, it was adhered to by the early Greek philosophers - Plato and Socrates. For them, reincarnation was not a matter of religious faith, but rather of philosophical faith.

Plato argued that there is innate knowledge, that is, knowledge not acquired through learning in this life; the fact that some of the knowledge that a person possesses cannot be obtained by being guided by the senses was, in his opinion, evidence of the experience of a previous life.

Someone may ask why you need to know this and what is the benefit of it? The benefits are actually huge. It’s as if our cravings and desire for knowledge, our interest in understanding ourselves and the world around us, have been taken away. After all, every person must ask himself the question: Who am I, why do I live, and what will happen next? People need to see a deeper meaning in life than satisfying their physical needs at the level of existence. Human life is not just vegetation, as they try to convince us. A person has this natural interest and questions to which deep down he strives to find answers, but the social environment does everything possible to prevent this from being realized.

So to the question “What happens next?” answers, including such a phenomenon as reincarnation. More precisely, it reflects the answer, but there are other sources of the answer. Essentially every religion has this answer. The phenomenon of reincarnation of souls is considered in most Indian religions, but I would like to pay attention to where the Hindus got their knowledge about this, and what quality it was. The Hindus themselves know that the knowledge - the Vedas, including about reincarnation - was passed on to them by white people from the north. Hindus do not shout about this at every turn, but try to pass it off as their own. And what country is located north of India and what kind of white people they are, I think it’s not difficult to guess. It turns out that this knowledge of reincarnation is not alien to us.

What do other religions say about what will happen to a person after death? Take Christianity, for example. The answer to this question in this religion is that after death a person goes to either hell or heaven, i.e. This is where life in the physical body ends, according to the concepts of Christianity, and the soul ends up where it deserves to go. But few people know that the idea of ​​reincarnation previously existed in Christianity and was excluded from its doctrine only in 1082 at the next Ecumenical Council.

Here, for example, is a fragment from the Gospel of John, chapter 9, verse 2:

“One day, seeing a blind man on the threshold of the temple, the disciples approached Jesus and asked: “Teacher! Who sinned, he or his parents, that he was born blind?”

It follows that Jesus' disciples knew that the future incarnation would be affected by the quality of a person's life, and that the reincarnation of souls was a natural process. It turns out that in the past, most of the world, if not the whole, adhered to the idea of ​​reincarnation. So why was this concept suddenly excluded from Christianity? Has the phenomenon of reincarnation become so untenable that everyone has forgotten about it? Are there really no facts to support this?

There are quite a few. Take, for example, Ian Stevenson's book "Evidence of the Survival of Consciousness from Memories of Previous Incarnations." The author, having been dealing with this issue for almost thirty years, has collected a huge amount of facts. It turns out that in the past the peoples of the world had reason to believe in reincarnation, just as today there is plenty of evidence of this “phenomenon”. So why are we being told the obvious opposite - that a person lives only once, and then, at best, he goes to heaven or hell?

Let's see what famous people say, who have been involved to one degree or another in understanding the world, looking for answers to such important questions. Here is what the writer Voltaire says on this topic:

“The concept of reincarnation is neither absurd nor useless. There is nothing strange about being born twice and not once.”

Here are the words of Arthur Schopenhauer:

“If an Asiatic asks me to define Europe, I will have to answer this way: “It is a part of the world that is in the grip of the incredible delusion that man was created out of nothing, and that his present birth is his first entry into life.”

Srila Prabhupada constantly addresses the issue of reincarnation in commentaries on the sacred Vedic scriptures Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita, in lectures and essays, essays and private correspondence. In a letter to the famous heart surgeon Dr. Bigelow, he writes: “The soul is individual and moves from one body to another in the same way as a person passes from infancy to childhood, from childhood to adolescence, from adolescence to youth and, finally, to old age. Then there is a change called death, where we exchange the old body for a new one, just as old clothes are exchanged for new ones. This is called the transmigration of the soul" (The Science of Self-Realization, p. 72).

In the last decades of the outgoing 20th century, the public worldview in the West began to lean towards the recognition of reincarnation. Scientists working in different fields of knowledge - biologists and doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists, religious scholars and mythology specialists - began to pay close attention to this issue in their research. Observations and evidence of various kinds began to accumulate and systematize. The a priori denial of reincarnation as such was gradually replaced by an analytical approach with attempts to come closer to understanding the essence of this phenomenon.

Let us cite the statements of modern scientists who study this problem in matters of their competence. Mythologist Joseph Campbell: “Reincarnation suggests that you are more than what you think you are. There are dimensions of your being, potential for realization and consciousness that you do not include in your concept of yourself. Your life is much deeper and broader than you imagine it to be while here. What you experience are just scattered hints of what is truly within you that gives you life, breath and depth. But you can live in relation to this depth. And when you are able to experience it, you will suddenly see that all religions talk about exactly this.”

The words of these people make us think about understanding reincarnation or denying it. Knowing that reincarnation exists, a person will consciously acquire and accumulate the best qualities in himself, strive to gain positive experience, new knowledge and understanding in order to advance even further in the next life. And vice versa, by rejecting, a person in ignorance can make a mistake, for which he will then have to pay in the next incarnation or even fall out of the circle of incarnations, which often happens with suicide and other violations of the laws of nature. As they say, ignorance of the laws is no excuse.

And here it’s worth asking the question: “Who benefits from this?” Who benefits from people living their empty lives, not realizing themselves and their destiny, and often also creating problems for themselves that will then need to be sorted out? Let us remember that ideology is a powerful weapon in dark hands. With each change of power in states, the ideology changed, and the one that was beneficial to one or another ruler was established. The people often only had to accept, what someone decided for them was often imposed by force, and gradually people forgot everything old and believed in the complete opposite, as if by a magic wand. Thus, everything important that man knew and realized was gradually forgotten, including the idea of ​​reincarnation.

I would also like to draw attention to why reincarnation exists and what some of its mechanisms are based on. Apparently the soul, or to put it another way, the essence, requires a physical body to accumulate experience at a certain stage of development, otherwise the essence would not incarnate again and again. And here the interesting point is why a person, being born in a new body, does not remember his previous incarnations. Supposedly someone blocked our memory so that we would not go along the already beaten path, but would take a new path, since the previous path apparently turned out to be not so correct. It turns out that even nature itself disposes us at this moment to develop.

It should be noted that in most cases, information about previous incarnations is not available to a person during his lifetime. This is due to the fact that information is recorded on the qualitative structures of the entity. And in order to “read” this information, a person in a new incarnation must reach the same level of evolutionary development that he had in previous or previous lives. And only when a person has progressed further evolutionarily during his life than in any of his previous lives, is it possible to open and read all the information accumulated by the entity over the entire history of its existence.

But how can a person move forward if he doesn’t know that he needs it, or rather, it was instilled in him so. The illusion that we live once is detrimental to the development process. Thus, fertile ground is created for various manipulations and traps. Especially for young people, when the concept of freedom is substituted, presenting it as licentiousness and permissiveness. Slogans such as: “Life must be lived in such a way that you would be ashamed to remember later” are a consequence of a social illness that arose as a result of a stolen worldview and understanding of the laws of nature. Following the logic: “you only live once, you have to do everything,” and a person without understanding and proper upbringing goes to great lengths in pursuit of pleasures, entertainment and imaginary happiness. But happiness does not come and does not come.

All this negatively affects not only the individual, but also society as a whole. People were deliberately deprived of the core that would help them resist many temptations. People have been taught to be passive. With the ideology of a single life, the fear of death, the fear of getting problems, losing a job, money, home dominates a person, but if a person knows about reincarnation and the laws of karma, then the situation will change radically. The worst thing is not to die, but to step over such concepts as conscience and honor. A person would think twice before committing a crime, because then he will have to work it out in the next incarnation. After all, repentance will not correct the situation and there is no one who would atone for all the sins of humanity for us. Imagine what society could be like if the correct worldview prevailed in it.

Then a person becomes responsible for his own life. Injustice in society is no longer perceived as someone’s punishment or test, but as something that a person himself has the right to cope with. Without putting your vices aside, but starting to work with them, while changing yourself and your future, the future of your people and society as a whole. A person becomes responsible for his every action and thought. At the same time, he consciously develops positive qualities not only for himself, but also for his future descendants, wanting to leave them goodness, not problems. But all this happened once, we just need to remember and figure it out. In conclusion, I will quote the words of Eduard Asadov:

“It’s not enough to be born a person, you still have to become.”

On our self-development portal, a very interesting and rather esoteric topic continues, namely, the teaching about Reincarnation or the reincarnation of souls and beings many times, about the so-called past lives, and therefore we will try to talk in more detail about the meaning and lessons of a wandering soul reborn in different worlds universe.

Many people on planet Earth believe in their past lives, especially in countries where Buddhism took root, and these are India, Tibet, Laos, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka. And it’s no secret that just people without any religion can also remember their past lives or incarnations.

Is it possible to remember your past life (reincarnation)?

All over the world, thousands of people have already remembered their past lives, and their description will take many books.

Sometimes people involuntarily remember their past lives, or even know them from birth, as was the case with our friend, whose real story about her own reincarnation, you can read on our portal. And we have already written about a whole science and branch of psychology that can try to send you to a past life in a state of hypnosis.

But most often, the recollection of one’s past life in an ordinary person, without any innate abilities or deviations, occurs in deep meditation or samadhi. When the usual senses stop working and a person begins to explore his inner world.

Why don't people remember their past lives?

Ordinary thoughts and emotions prevent an ordinary person from remembering his past. It is believed that all the experience of past lives is in the Akashic Archive or in the world of Light, where everything we have done and everything we have lived is recorded in the smallest grains of light.

And so, in order to penetrate into this sacred sphere of our soul where all the necessary information is stored, it is necessary first of all to stop our mind and feelings - this the process in yoga is called pratyahara. And when this state deepens, a person can enter samadhi, with partial or complete stoppage of the heart and breathing.

Reincarnation and rebirth of man in the religions of the world

The doctrine of reincarnation in many world religions came from Buddhism, because after his enlightenment Buddha Shakyamuni, about whom you can also read separately, remembered or saw in his perfect samadhi all his past lives.

In addition, the doctrine of reincarnation passed into Hinduism and early Christianity. Yes, and into Christianity too, since Jesus Christ spent his early years, for some reason not described in the Bible, in India and Egypt.

Although later Christianity began to reject the transmigration of souls, believing that the soul for some reason lives only one single life and waits thousands of years for the second coming of Christ.

But how can they expect the second coming if they crucified the first and most important coming of Christ in the form of Jesus Christ. The second coming will come and they will want to execute him.

The reason why the transmigration of souls began to be rejected in Christianity is that the spiritual level of the followers of Christianity was extremely low, and the founders of the Church were more concerned about domination over ordinary people, influence in society and material wealth.

There is information that in the Christian movement of the Cathars in Europe, and this was the 11th-14th centuries, there was a doctrine of reincarnation. The Roman Church recognized them as heretics and launched a crusade against them, committing yet another armed bloodshed in the name of God, so to speak.

Tibet - reincarnations of the Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama translated as "ocean of wisdom or great teacher" and is considered incarnation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara- the aspect of Buddha's Compassion.

So, it is believed that The Dalai Lama has been reborn for the 14th time as the spiritual and political leader of Tibet..

And usually, before his death, the Dalai Lama told his disciples and the people of Tibet in which place in the country he would be born and where to look for him. Thus, the current Dalai Lama XIV, at the age of two, was found in the village of Taktser in the northeast of the country by a group of lamas (spiritual teachers) who were looking for his new incarnation.

And when a lot of toys and ritual accessories of the previous Dalai Lama were laid out in front of the child, he chose with 100% accuracy the objects that belonged to him in the past, with the words: “This is mine, this is mine!” Likewise, many lamas of Tibet, in the process of their spiritual practice, were able to remember many of their lives.

How is karma related to Reincarnation?

If you believe Eastern teachings, then every person has his own karma, every country has it, every animal has it, and of course karma (the law of cause and effect) directly affects the reincarnation of every person.

In addition, karma confirms the presence of reincarnation itself - after all, people at birth have a different shape, body color, one is born to rich parents, and the other to poor ones, someone wants to achieve something, but does not succeed, and for someone it is given easily.

And the reason for birth is due to karma and nothing else. If there were no karma, no one would be born not only on earth, but in other worlds or places too.

Dalai Lama on Reincarnation

The spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama, says about Reincarnation that there are 2 types of rebirth after death: firstly, due to karma and negative emotions, and secondly, rebirth due to compassion and prayer.

Strong desires and attachments lead a person to the next birth and birth occurs in different worlds, depending on karma. And this is called the wheel of samsara.

If a person practices good deeds, then he can be born in higher worlds. In addition, having completely destroyed his karma, a person exits the cycle of birth and death.

How does Reincarnation happen?

It is usually believed that after his death, 49 days after his death, a person chooses his new birth, depending on the actions of the body, speech and mind accumulated in life before birth. This condition is called Bardo- an intermediate state between life and death.

There are several ways of birth from the Bardo: firstly, this is a vision of the world into which the soul must reincarnate and, captured by this vision, flies into it - this is how a new birth occurs.

Secondly, the soul is attracted to a certain type of light that corresponds to its vibration. Accordingly, the purer the soul, the better birth it will have in higher and purer worlds.

Thirdly, there is God Yama or the God of Death, who is responsible for the reincarnation of souls. This is not a general God, but precisely the one who is responsible for reincarnation and subsequent lives. Well, probably many people know the story about the white and black stones on the scales. In short, they will make a verdict and send whoever where.

Why do we live only for today despite Reincarnation?

Here, on this planet Earth, each person considers himself a separate biological being, deprived of his integrity and having forgotten his angelic essence.

After all, every person is a part of God and this suggests that, in essence, everyone is eternal and has always been, and always will be. In the state of God there is no beginning and no end. This is a circle, this is the center - wherever you go, everywhere you are as a part of God.

Lessons on Reincarnation

Most likely, since every person is reincarnated, it turns out that he goes through some of his own life lessons related to obtaining some qualities that he does not have, or with the goal of helping others learn their lessons.

But in general, we can say that since every person is a piece of God, reincarnation occurs in order to recognize this piece of God in oneself. Sometimes lessons are shown in the form of stories because through them it is easier to understand the big picture of people's lessons, and we will look at some of them.

Real cases and lessons of reincarnation

Childless Sofia

Sofia, even as a little girl, of course knew that she was born to become a mother. Little Sofia seemed to know everything about children, how to raise them and what they liked.

And now the time has come, and she found herself a man who told her that he wanted many children and a family. This is what I needed, Sophia thought and they bought a big house. But it turned out that Sofia was barren and all her knowledge of how to raise children was useless, and her husband left her, because he wanted a family.

Sofia did not want to be angry with God; after all, she was a spiritual person and began to look for answers to her questions. And Sofia changed her life - she realized that she was the one responsible for her life and that she had planned it all herself.

Sophia gained wisdom and realized that her mission in life was to make known her knowledge about how to raise children. And she should not have had her own children, since this would have prevented her from fulfilling her mission, which, in principle, was much more important for the development of society as a whole and for divine affairs than one child well raised by her.

Favorite Alexey

Once upon a time, one person incarnated on Earth, having almost no karma - this is the story of Alexei. And when he was born, he was missing one part of his brain. And although Alexey was very smart, he lacked the part of his brain responsible for the growth of the body.

The doctors knew that he would not live long. He was loved very much by both his parents and friends. And yet, at the age of 12, he died, and it was his mission to develop his spiritual level and help his parents. How much grief and sorrow his young parents endured; they missed their beloved son so much.

So one sacrificed himself for the enlightenment of others. After all, since Alexey, like any person, lives forever - those 12 years he lived on Earth were a gift, a gift to other people and just a small portion of time, if we take the entire history of mankind in comprehending enlightenment and God within oneself.

Conclusion

Reincarnation and its possible previous lives and births makes every person think about the meaning of his life and this is already good. Maybe something needs to be changed for the better in our lives or even urgently made adjustments to it.

In any case, if a person does not know his essence, who he is and where he comes from, then, probably, this is the meaning of life, namely in his further self-knowledge and self-improvement. And it is precisely this ignorance that should, in theory, give us the impetus for further development and knowledge of the real world.

Well, we are not saying goodbye to you, since we are all eternal, but simply saying - see you on our Training and Self-Development portal, where we will continue to talk and communicate on spiritual topics.
