Journey of the Soul

There is a chapter about reincarnation in my book “Transcendence”.

Typically people of the Christian religious faith do not believe in reincarnation, primarily because the Church does not teach it and, in reality, the Church has suppressed information on the topic. But why would the Christian Church do that?

My opinion is that the topic of reincarnation overturns Church dogma which hides that reincarnation is enabled by the fallen masters who created humans. If reincarnation was laid open it would expose what the Church has been trying to hide for thousands of years: humans are not creations of the ONE true God, but instead are creations – in the image and likeness – of the fallen angels.

I define reincarnation as the return of the soul to earth in a new human body, different and separate from the original body that the soul was first embodied in. In effect the flesh body is an earthly prison for the “spiritually unconscious” soul. 

I believe the soul can reincarnate multiple times, and this happens because the soul is not spiritually aware. When the soul becomes spiritually aware – that it actually contains the spirit of the ONE true God and “lives” because the ONE enables it – it attains enlightenment which frees the soul from reincarnation.

In the non-canonical books excluded from the Bible, particularly in the Apocryphon of John, The Gospel of Thomas, and The Gospel of Philip, there is reference to and explanation of reincarnation.

I am writing about it here because I think reincarnation can explain a lot about why the world is the way it is.

One of the things that troubled me in the past is how a human born into a particular family can be so different from that family. Surely, if that human is the product of a genetic mix from two people in the same family (i.e. the mother and the father) then that person should be very similar to its genetic foundation? That is the “nature” component of the “nature versus nurture” argument on human behaviour.

So what about the “nurture” component – how does it account for the difference between a child and its parents (and siblings)? Essentially there are two parts to the “nurture” component: 1) the behavioural influences the parents and immediate family provide to the child and 2) the behavioural influences that broader society (school teachers; friends and social peers, etc.) provides to the child. Many differences can arise from societal influence on the individual child (both in good and bad ways).

But there is another component we overlook – especially if we identify as Christians who believe the indoctrinated teachings of the Church. The component I speak of is actually the second part of the “nature” component – that is, the reincarnated soul.

At birth, the new body contains two “nature” components: 1) the physical combined genetic foundation passed on by the biological mother and father of the child, and 2) the soul (either new or reincarnated) passed on by humanity’s fallen creators. The reincarnated soul may have lived many lives, and in those lives it may have experienced and learned many things which become imprinted onto the soul (but “forgotten” in the form of retained unconscious or, at best, sub-conscious memories). This reincarnated soul is the problematic element of human behaviour; one that is poorly understood and often labelled as temperament (which most psychologists find very difficult to explain).

If we subscribe to what I have described above, we can see that there are “controllable” elements to human behaviour, namely genetics (“nature”), familial behavioural conditioning (“nurture”), and societal behavioural conditioning (“nurture”). But there is also an uncontrollable element to human behaviour: the reincarnated soul. What can be done to save that soul and enlighten it so that it is freed from reincarnation?

NOTE: I chose this picture because it shows the crumbling ruins of a cathedral that was established in 1224, and that once was a majestic icon of the Christian Church. Today it stands in ruins, symbolic of how the Church is crumbling during a time of declining spirituality. In the foreground are headstones from the various graves holding bodies that were buried there in the past. According to the Church those bodies and their souls are "sleeping" as they lie in wait for better times when the new heaven and new earth will appear. I pray that the souls have already found enlightenment.

The Unanswerable Question

Image
If God created the universe, then who created God? This question baffles even the most “genius-level” scientific minds of our time. It is such a perplexing question that many people find it easier to simply become atheists and proclaim God does not exist. But even then, with their simple way out of acknowledging God, how do atheists truly answer even the scientific conundrums like how big is the universe, or where do atoms and their subatomic particles of protons, neutrons, and electrons come from, or why do subatomic particles exist in their particular configurations? If subatomic particles come from the “big-bang” (another overly simplistic explanation that tries to negate the existence of God), then where did the “big-bang” come from? Where did the material that enabled the “big-bang” come from? It is impossible to get something from nothing, so where did the primordial “something” come from? Of course, the “genius-level” minds of our time will tell me that I’m being naïve; that I a...

It's a Mad World

Image
Recently I enjoyed re-watching one of my favourite films: Groundhog Day (starring Bill Murray). The film is such a joy because it provides a message of optimism and makes us realise that the choice is ours for a life of hope and fulfilled living. The world we live in is increasingly meaningless, and there are many reasons for this, with the major reason – in my opinion – being humanity’s inclination to forget and ignore its spiritual origins. We have arrogantly come to think that everything we have in life is self-determined; that we are masters of our own universe and fate. The only thing we need for a fulfilled life is money, and the more we have the better we can live. So our lives become driven by work, which gives us money, which enables us to buy whatever we want. Not surprising then that we fulfil the words from the book of Job: “Is not man’s life on earth no more than pressed service, his time no better than hired drudgery? Like the slave, sighing for the shade, or the workman ...

Babylon the Great

Image
In my book “Transcendence” I talk of Babylon the Great as it is expressed in the ancient sacred texts (in particular, see the Biblical book of Revelation). Babylon the Great is treated through symbolism and refers to the world we live in – the earthly empire of the Fallen. Symbolically, Babylon the Great refers to a famous whore who rides a beast with seven heads and ten horns. At length in my book “Transcendence” I describe and explain this symbolism. For the purpose of this article, there are three important things to focus on from the symbolism: 1. What is the beast? This is the system of “governance” on the earth, including those who lead that system. The seven heads of the beast represent empires or ages on earth, while the horns represent kingdoms and rulers through those ages. 2. Who is the famous whore?  She represents the people of the earth – the wealthy “power brokers” and their followers – who are led by the beast and who ride the beast and keep it going. 3. What does t...
