THE LAW OF REBIRTH

The Creation-Law of “Resurrection”
for Human Beings


REBIRTH/REINCARNATION!

“Do not smile about it for it is true; Your thoughts, words and works are recorded in the ‘Book of Life’ by none other than yourself.”
(Heavenly Thoughts;
Karl May).

Reader: Whilst all the great Laws of Creation intermesh with every other to produce the “Perfect Whole” of their immutable activity throughout Creation, this Law is one that we on earth need to very seriously examine. For with it, a crucial piece of the overall knowledge of our What, How and Why falls into place! Without it, all the musings, writings and pontificating of the too-many expert scientists, theologians, and religious leaders ---- to name just a few --- become just opinions, assumptions, and suppositions.

Certainly, in the earthly religious sense, this Concept of Divine Reality should really “put the cat among the pigeons”. Do we care? We do, but only for those who are prepared to awaken to TRUTH. For the rest: No, we do not, for we are proclaiming The Truth of Divine Law here --- and nothing else matters!

The Truth of this matter, therefore, is that for a very large segment of global humanity the actual Creation-Law reality of “Rebirth” is not at all accepted by the many hundreds of millions who subscribe to the dogma of their respective religions. Just the very “notion” of the idea would be anathema to that group.

On the other hand, many other hundreds of millions of human beings do unequivocally accept “Reincarnation” --- and have done so for a very long time. However, the very word itself has produced many interpretations of what “reincarnation” is supposed to be. For Eastern religions, it basically means repeated earth-lives to free oneself from the carousel of Rebirth through the expiation of all one’s karma; one’s transgressions against “The Law”. This process of expiation thus permits one to become --- according to such doctrines --- “one with the universe”.

As we have well explained, that is one more totally wrong belief; for through our wonderful exposure to the immutable Eternal Laws of God, we absolutely know that such Perfect Laws could never permit that kind of “outcome”. We remain individuals, subject to The Law, in precise accord with the individual decisions we make in life!

For the “big three” of monotheism, the word, “resurrection”, will surely conjure up the idea of billions of past dead being “fleshed-out” and “brought to life” after “their resurrection” from tombs of dust and corruption to face the final “Day of Judgement”! It is an interesting though totally stupid doctrine; for how do the hundreds of thousands of human beings fare who must “rise from the depths” of the sea. In that environment over millennia, uncounted thousands have died, with many eaten by the lawful predators of their “watery home” --- just as has occurred in the land environment for thousands of years also.

What does that obviously mean for the unfortunate, consumed human beings in this just “too-silly-for-words” belief? Well, it isn’t rocket science is it? They, who were once whole in human form, are reduced to “masticated soup” as the predators’ stomach contents, thence to be defecated into the sea or onto the land, where other lawful creatures in the wondrous and perfect mechanism of the Elemental Forces of Nature carry out their “clean-up duties”.

Reader: I am sure that you, at least, will recognise the inane stupidity of such unworkable and impossible scenarios. Only man-made religions could ever think up such foolishly-stupid and absolutely thoughtless teachings.

For only a truly insane “religious-conditioning process” could bring billions of equally thoughtless and gormless followers to the point where they actually believe this “rubbish”! The religious leaders --- the Imam’s, Priests, Ministers and Rabbis etc., somehow, or perhaps conveniently, give no explanation to these clear realities. Worse still, however, are the mindless followers who do not even begin to think for themselves! A classic case of “the blind leading the blind” to the great and inevitable “chasm of destruction” for the lot of them! In that great cull, however, an earth that is thankfully cleansed of such rubbish --- for “the few” of prophecy!

Even the common practice of cremation sees Christian Ministers and Priests at the preceding funeral service “droning on” about the “resurrection” of the “dearly departed” --- and that is after the ashes are usually “scattered” on land or water by the grieving and believing relatives of the “Church’s promise”. The very idea as a so-called sacrosanct “teaching” is so illogical, so blind, so just plain stupid as a belief. No wonder, reader: --- “Few men left”!

So what does that actually tell us about what must be the true meaning of this “Life-Word”, Rebirth? Well: It certainly doesn’t mean what virtually all religions believe it to mean. In terms of that which we all must undergo, and which so many fear --- Death --- the later Discourses on the two Death processes will give you all the knowledge you need around both those realities but, of course, with very different outcomes.

In the meantime, in this Discourse we will reveal to you the mechanics, detail and nuances --- and just as importantly --- the “Why” of this vital “Creation-Law Reality” of Rebirth for the human spirit: WE/US!

In accordance with our usual format, we will first assess in turn, though only very briefly, each of the big threes’ teachings on “resurrection”. Then we will once more “Correct” the many errors that we are going to uncover!

Reader: With regard to the “big three”; if you have even basically understood the clear and powerful “flow” of “illuminating revelation” in this Work thus far you will hopefully have also recognised an interesting reality therein. It is this! In the many thousands of words we have extracted from their doctrines, little of it has ever accorded with The Divine Knowledge of The Spirit of Truth --- IMANUEL’s --- All–Truth!

Yet, all three stand guilty and indicted in their arrogant presumption that each has some kind of right to lay sole claim to THE “SPIRIT OF TRUTH” Who is:

THE LORD OF CREATION! ------- Remember: “Through HIM All Things Were Made”!

We have engaged with this particular, but in the end, “deadly musing” precisely because the actual reality and nature of “resurrection” is critical for any hope of spiritual ascent to our true home in the Spiritual Realm.

For the problem with all religious teachings is that if even only a small part of any one of their interpretations is wrong, it is forever wrong! That is the case here too! So, let’s start with Islam and find out what they don’t know about this Creation-Law reality!


ISLAM AND THE LAW OF REBIRTH

The Koran has very many verses about “Resurrection”. In his extensive Introduction, M.M. Ali’s Koran also has texts pertinent to the concept of “resurrection”. Surprisingly, however, Islam ascribes a number of different meanings to this “word”! We will, therefore, begin this segment with the opinions of our key Muslim scholar. From Ali’s:

INTRODUCTION: 5. LIFE AFTER DEATH
The Resurrection or the Hour

While the life after death is spoken of as a continuation of this life, a particular day is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, under various names, as the day on which that life finds a complete manifestation. It is generally called yaum al-qiyamah or the day of the great rising or the Resurrection (2:113), and is also spoken of as the day of Decision (77:13), the day of Reckoning (38:26), the day of Judgement (51:12), or the day of Meeting (with God) (40:15), the day of the Gathering together (42:7) etc.
The most frequently occurring word for the Resurrection is al-Sa-ah, which means any portion of time, and is, therefore, generally rendered as the Hour. Raghib, the well-known lexicographer of the Qur’an, says that there are three sa’ahs (hours) in the sense of the resurrection, viz., (1) kubra (or the greater), which is the rising up of the people for reckoning; (2) wusta (or the middle), which is the passing away of a nation; and (3) sughra (or the minor), which is the death of the individual. The word is used in all these senses in the Holy Qur’an. An example of the last occurs in 6:31: “They are losers indeed who reject the meeting with Allah, until when the hour comes upon them suddenly,” where the hour clearly stands for the death of the person who gives the lie. As regards the use of the word in the other two senses, it is very frequent, and the two significances are often interchangeable, either sense being applicable.

Resurrection in this life.

The different words which stand for Resurrection are in some sense also applicable to this life; the rising of the dead is sometimes their spiritual resurrection (*) which was to be brought about by the preaching of the Holy Prophet; (*) the day of Decision also signifies the triumph of Truth and the vanquishment of falsehood; (*) the day of Reckoning is equally the reckoning in this life, and so is the day of Requital. The Law of the requital of good and evil (**) affects this life as much as the next, a complete manifestation taking place when the limitations of the body of clay are removed by death, which thus becomes a starting point for a new and higher life, It is a law that works every moment and will not come into operation on a single day; even paradise and hell are spoken of as originating with this life. Hence God is repeatedly described as Quick in Reckoning (2:202; 3:19; 199, etc.), meaning that His reckoning is working every moment. ... The law of the requital of good and evil (**) is thus working all the time; only the consequences cannot be seen by the physical eye, but the finer senses granted at the Resurrection will see them clearly: “On the day when hidden things are manifested” (86:9).

Let’s look at a few points from Ali’s text.

(*) The three aspects of human “spiritual resurrection” in this life; “brought about by the preaching of the Holy Prophet” and “the Triumph of Truth and the vanquishment of falsehood”, ...

The last point is especially important for Islam --- as it is for all of humankind. The “vanquishment of falsehood” automatically allows “the triumph of Truth” to be freed from the human shackles of religious distortion. Reader: You know that this has now taken place, and you concomitantly know that it was not with the Koran. It was with the arrival on earth of the All-Truth of Imanuel, the True Spirit of Truth!

(**) The “law of the requital of good and evil” is, of course, the Creation-Law of Reciprocal Action ----- “What we sow, we reap”! Before we leave this Islamic Section, a few more relevant Koranic verses on Resurrection from M.M. Ali’s Koran.

‘Is not He Who created the heaven and the earth able to create the like of them?a Yea! And He is the Creator of all, the Knower.’ (36:81).

Ali’s commentary on 81a:

‘The original is mithla-hum, where the personal pronoun hum (them) refers to men, not to heaven and earth. In the Resurrection, therefore, men will be the like of what they are here, not exactly the same bodies of clay. (*) Elsewhere, after mentioning that man wonders at the new creation, it is said: “We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a book that preserves” 50:4. The body may become dust; but what man does of good or evil is preserved, and it is according to this good or evil that he receives a new body. The idea of Resurrection is carried to perfection in Islam, (**) and the Resurrection is meant to give a new life to all. Ultimately the spirit of man is returned to the Spirit Divine, and that is again and again called the meeting with God.’ (***)

Our commentary:

(*) A human body that exists on earth cannot change its structure in any way. It must always essentially be “a body of clay” in that at its decomposition upon earthly death, the material part returns to “the dust of the ground”.

(**) Resurrection is not carried to perfection in Islam, because only with the knowledge of The Primordial Eternal Laws of God can we ever hope to understand what “resurrection” actually is and thus means. As we have demonstrated time and again --- ad nauseum I might add --- the reinterpretation and thus distortion of Mohammed’s actual teachings means that Islam does not possess that Perfect Knowledge!

(***) Another key error! The “spirit of man is returned to the Spirit Divine”.... and in Islam is thus called “the meeting with God”. Yes: Man is Spirit when all else is stripped away. That is who and what he is --- what (WE) are! But the notion of a human “Spirit” meeting with God is an terrible affront to His Perfect Holiness and Sublime Perfection --- and Supreme Power! We are not, nor ever were, nor ever can be --- a “spirit that can meet with God”. M.M. Ali, a step far too far!

‘When we die and become dust --- this is a far return. (50:3).
‘We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a book that preserves.a’ (50:4).

Ali’s commentary on 54 a:
What the earth diminishes is the body, dust going to dust. The book that preserves is the record of the deeds which a man has done. (*) The consequences of deeds are preserved in their entirety and out of them grows a new life in the Resurrection.
We have ordained death among you and We are not overcome. (56:60). That We may change your state and make you grow into what you know not.a (56:61)


Ali’s commentary on 61 a:
It is the Resurrection that is spoken of here. The present state will be changed, we are told, and men will be made to grow into a new creation, (**) which they do not know. (**) Clearly it is not the material body (***) of this life, but a new body (***) which grows out of the deeds of men.

Let’s now “Correct” the errors in the above commentary!

(*) The “book that preserves” is the Akashic Record; the Biblical “Book of Life”! It is not the Koran!

(**) Who has “told” Islam that “men will be made to grow into a new creation, which they do not know”? As we will illuminate for you after we have gotten the dogmatic teachings of the “big three” on this subject out of the way, both the Concept, and thus Reality, of “Resurrection” is neither known in its entirety nor therefore understood in its Creation-Law Truth in any shape or form by the “big three group”!

As we must tiresomely repeat, you must surely all well-know by now where that Perfect Knowledge is to be found!

(***) Thus, the pontificating-statement by M.M. Ali that “it is not the material body”, but “a new body” which “grows out of the deeds of men”, does not at all accord with the Truth of Divine Law! That which grows out of the deeds of men is made very clear after our “transition” into Ethereal life, thus into one’s ethereal body, which automatically occurs after earthly death. And yes; our Ethereal body certainly reveals the true nature of our past deeds, but that is not “Resurrection of the body”! Anyway, reader; that is just a brief allusion to the kind of knowledge that we have yet to fully explain in this Discourse.

Two more, sequential, Koranic verses will conclude this Section. However, reader; from Ali’s commentary, apply the above explanations to them, for what we have stated will always be valid for all errors about the True meaning of “Resurrection” --- for they are given to us from out of Imanuel’s Grail Message of Final Truth!

And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth as a growth. a (71:17).
Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth. a (71:18).

Ali’s commentary on 71:17a.
‘Note here again that man is described as having grown out of the earth as a growth, i.e., by a process of development. .... But the reference in this growth is to that great process of development through which man has attained to the present stage of physical perfection.’

His commentary on 71:18a.
‘The new bringing forth is in reference to the Resurrection. It is called a new growth to show that it is not the same as man’s life on this earth but a new life, the life Spiritual. This growth begins in this life, but a complete manifestation of it takes place in the Resurrection.’

Reader, with regard to Ali’s commentary on verse 17a, for the true happening, hark back to the Discourse on Genesis on both our spiritual and physical origins. In direct concert, we should again remind you all of precisely why we concentrate on Islam more than the other two monotheistic religions of Christianity and Judaism.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Now: A crucial “reality check”! Despite the clear fact that little of their dogmatic doctrines accord with the Supreme, Divine Knowledge and Law contained in The Son of Man’s Final Truth, Islam’s many Korans’ and interpretations of --- all of which run to over a thousand pages --- have one constant and “constantly-repeating theme” in every chapter.

You have heard this before --- even in my personal view written, firmly I believe, justly in “righteous anger” --- and it is this! It is the never-ending denial and accusatory stance of the whole of the rapidly-growing Islamic world against THE ALMIGHTY for what is, and will always remain, DIVINE TRUTH to ETERNITY:

Once more: This is that “reality check” --- to Eternity:

That there are Two Sons [Two Parts] of GOD Whom HE has sent from His Divine Realm --- forever closed to us humans --- all the way down to the World of Matter that we might know how we are to live according to His Perfect Laws!

Out of LOVE for His Creation --- of which we are part --- we were supremely-blessed with the presence of Jesus in one era and Imanuel in ours today, both of Whom brought Divine Truth to us!

In terrible and accusatory Truth, by our inexcusable and evil ways in distorting and/or rejecting that incomprehensible Gift of Love, we symbolically “spat” in the Face of our GOD!

So, again, why the primary-focus on Islam? The Title of this Ordained Work states it bluntly! Islam’s claim of ownership to The Spirit of Truth in the person of Mohammed in some kind of “religious righteousness” stands as at least one of the greatest transgressions against The GODHEAD that human beings could ever possibly perpetrate.

Further on for your consumption, Muslims of the world, you will learn the Truth of what Mohammed’s life and mission really involved!

Then you will know why it was that the Great Prophet, Isaiah, forewarned all who are here at this precise era in our human journey, what will come upon us.

Isaiah: The one exceptionally–strong Prophet of God that you of Islam very strangely --- yet I think very suspiciously --- studiously keep silent about.

Sufficient to say at this time, however, that all of you of the Muslim faith are certainly included in his sure prophecy that “humanity would be desolate”, with “few men left”! Read and weep --- or CHANGE your terribly distorted religious dogma, for there is no other way for you! Let’s hear it again!

“The “Earth” also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the “Laws”, changed the decrees, broken the everlasting covenant.”
“Therefore has the curse devoured the “Earth”, and those that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the “Earth” are burned, and few men left.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

That’s more than enough from Islam for the moment. Let’s now hear from the other religion that “denies” the reality of The Two Sons of God --- Judaism --- and assess its view of Resurrection. Still believing they are the “chosen” must surely guarantee the further belief that, as a whole people of a single religious mind-set, Resurrection for them has to mean automatic entry to Paradise! On such a flawed religious/cultural conviction, all we can say is poor, blind deluded fools!

Reader, if you are not Jewish, you will now learn why we must target this religion also, for what you are about to learn as some kind of official Jewish “knowledge-doctrine” is almost too foolish, too unbelievable, to even write about --- but here it is!


JUDAISM AND THE LAW OF REBIRTH

From the website: --- my JEWISH LEARNING
Jewish Resurrection of the Dead
When and how will the dead be brought back to life?

Resurrection of the dead is a core doctrine of traditional Jewish theology. Traditional Jews believe that during the Messianic Age, the temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem, the Jewish people ingathered from the far corners of the earth and the bodies of the dead will be brought back to life and reunited with their souls. It is not entirely clear whether only Jews, or all people, are expected to be resurrected at this time. --- (1)

This belief --- distinct from, though connected to, the belief in the immortality of the soul --- is mentioned explicitly only twice in the Hebrew Bible, in the books of Isaiah and Daniel, though hints of it are extrapolated from other biblical sources. The medieval philosopher Maimonides includes it as one of his 13 principles of the Jewish faith, and the Mishnah states that those who don’t believe in resurrection “have no share in the world to come.” The Amidah prayer recited thrice daily by traditional Jews includes a blessing praising God as the resurrector of the dead. -(2)

The resurrection doctrine is fleshed out in a variety of rabbinic sources. Among the ideas associated with it is the belief that during the messianic age the dead will be brought back to life in Israel. According to the Talmud, all bodies not already in Israel will be rolled through underground tunnels to the holy land. Avoiding this process, which is said to be spiritually painful, is one reason some Jews choose to be buried in Israel. --- (3)

At least two Talmudic sources note that the righteous will be brought back from the dead wearing the clothing in which they were buried. --- (4)

According to Jewish mystical tradition, souls can be reincarnated in different bodies if these souls have not completed their missions on earth. At the time of resurrection, the individual soul will be split among the various bodies it once inhabited, and the portion of the soul whose mission was completed in a particular body will return to that body. --- (5)

The doctrine of resurrection has proved controversial throughout Jewish history. Maimonides wrote in his Mishneh Torah that the idea that the Messiah will revive dead bodies is something that “fools” say. However, when critics charged that he denied resurrection, he penned a scathing essay in which he emphatically argued that he did in fact believe in resurrection. --- (6)

Rabbi Neil Gillman, author of The Death of Death, has suggested that the reason the Amidah includes a reference to resurrection --- and mentions it multiple times just in that one blessing --- may be in response to those who contested this belief in the first century BCE (B.C.) when the prayer was being formulated. --- (7)

Centuries later, the Reform movement, in its Pittsburgh Platform of 1885, rejected entirely the idea of resurrection, saying it was “not rooted in Judaism”. (The platform did assert a belief in the immortality of the soul.) The movement removed the Amidah resurrection blessing from their liturgy until 2007 when, with the release of its new prayer book Mishkan T’filah, it reinstated the blessing --- a move some attributed to Reform’s larger turn to traditionalism and a growing comfort with liturgical metaphor. --- (8)

Among orthodox Jews, belief in the resurrection is still generally understood as a literal prophecy that will come to fruition when the messiah comes. --- (9)

Well, what can we say to all of that? The nine points of Jewish beliefs that you have read should not really require clarification. The arrant nonsense and ridiculous implausibility therein surely “tells it like it really is”.

The “web” alone clearly holds many more opinions than this short excerpt, never mind the uncountable numbers of books, texts and scrolls in just Jewish libraries and synagogue repositories. We are sure, however, that on the subject of resurrection from the Jewish religious perspective, there could not be too much deviation, simply because it is either an irrefutable fact, or it is not.

So: If the concept of resurrection is irrefutable fact, then that reality can only ultimately derive from The Divine Laws of Creation ----- which it does! So: Para. (1) ‘...during the Messianic age’.

Too late! The Messianic age has passed you by. You rejected Jesus 2,000 odd years ago, and you did not recognise Imanuel when He came onto the earth in the 20th century. Therefore, your Temple will not be rebuilt --- certainly not for the Jewish race of the present era --- and the “Unpaid Debt” for Golgotha still silently waits to be paid in full.

So, there will not be any kind of “hallelujah, hand-clapping, Jewish revival Meeting” as all the long-dead zombie Jewish corpses gather in Jerusalem when they supposedly “crawl out of the ground’. In that truly idiotic belief, of course; those are they who over the many centuries died in Israel and were thus supposedly fortunate enough to have been buried there.

Unfortunately for the generations of “Diasporic” Jews scattered across the globe, however, that cannot happen. So how do they get to Jerusalem for their great Judgement Day? Well reader: you read how in Para. 3. Here it is again in all its wonderful Jewish religious madness:

According to the Talmud, all bodies not already in Israel will be rolled through underground tunnels to the holy land. Avoiding this process, which is said to be spiritually painful, is one reason some Jews choose to be buried in Israel.’

Para. (3). Well, to coin a today-phrase; that is a real “doozie”! So, unlike the Christian dead who will somehow emerge from their “graves” to gather before Him and be Judged, the long-dead Jewish corpses in far-flung countries are “required” to return to Jerusalem for their “Day of Judgement”, and that method takes the form of being “rolled through tunnels” to arrive in time for “their Judgement”.

Here’s a question: Since they were obviously not buried in these magical tunnels to begin with, how will they know where to find them? Perhaps, reader, they will consult their “smart phones” and use “Google map” to locate their nearest one. Another question: What initiates the “rolling”, and how do they get started”?

Reader, we ask you: How can supposedly intelligent human beings actually believe and accept this “stuff”? In fleshing out this truly unbelievably inane and silly Jewish belief, we must thus suppose that the “alive-Jews” in Jerusalem will have exactly the “same map” of the tunnel systems and be waiting for them when they emerge from them so that they can be on hand to welcome the “corpses”. They will obviously require a serious bath and a fresh change of garments ----- after being “unwrapped”.

Surely even Hollywood, in the dumbest version of the totally inane “zombie” movie and television craze, could ever produce a script to anywhere near match such arrant and illogical nonsense and stupidity.

Israel, Israel: How long will you cling to this kind of impossible garbage? You; the first race of people to divine The One God, and therefore the only race into which His Son, Jesus, could subsequently be incarnated in order to bring His Perfect Truth to the world of men that we might be given the means by which to return “Home”.

But no: All those long-centuries of gifted knowledge; in the 21st century comes down to a sum total of long-dead Jewish corpses rolling through imaginary tunnels to repopulate Jerusalem, there to meet their non-existent “Jewish” messiah. That would cause a massive housing problem, don’t you think, reader?

It is all an appalling affront to the sacred sublimity of The Almighty and His Divine Laws of Creation!

On this subject of “Rebirth”, this brief look at the relevant beliefs of Islam and Judaism are more than enough for a sane person. Whilst there are sects within those two primary religions that do accept some version of reincarnation, we won’t examine those teachings because you are shortly going to learn how it all works anyway.

The fact that such factions do accept “Rebirth” is sufficient to know. It is a pity, however, that the mainstream masses within both faiths do not share the certainty of that reality; which always, of course, only the “few of any faith” better seem able to recognise and understand.

CHRISTIANITY

The same can be applied to this religion, for within mainstream Christendom there are groups that do accept this Law of Rebirth! However, the problem with all religions and faiths that do so accept is their lack of real knowledge on how the “process” actually works. This can be noted by the fact that of the many different versions, few agree with each other in the necessary detail.

It is one thing to believe in it as a reality, but it is an entirely different matter to “explain” it correctly. With the knowledge of The Grail Message at our disposal, that is what we will now do!


“REBIRTH”! – FACT OR FICTION?

Let’s now seriously examine this “notion”, but not from crass religiosity, but from just simple, plain logic to begin with, and then nail it all with the knowledge that only Creation-Law can provide!

The one absolute we all accept without question, irrespective of race, religious beliefs, or political leanings etc., is the factual reality of birth, life and death. These three facets, at least in their physical happening, also represent the only belief or reality for many. The processes of all three, moreover, are absolutely identical for all individuals insofar as the mechanics are concerned. Only the individual life paths will be different due to the factors of race, geographical location, education, wealth and status etc., but both the spiritual and physical processes for each remain the same.

The term “miracle of birth” echoes our amazement and wonder at this event. The Spiritual Laws that govern the development of the growing individual and determines the final characteristics of it are constant and unchangeable. Thus, the many billions of human births have followed the same lawful process. Inherent in The Eternal Laws is certainly the provision for development, but not for wrong experimentation, deviation, or transgression. So even when using the procedure of in-vitro fertilisation, doctors are not able to operate outside the parameters dictated by this Universal Law.

It is the same with the ‘death-process’. Without exception we are forced to accept the absolute inevitability of it at some point in life. Universal Laws operate here in their immovable perfection too. For the step from a living, breathing, animated physical body to a cold, lifeless shell is exactly the same everywhere in the world. The manner of dying may be vastly different, i.e., disease, war, illness, accident -- in peaceful sleep even –- but the process is nevertheless identical. Indeed, it could not be otherwise. Yet whilst we are able to observe the physical processes of the steps of birth and death, and can clearly see the after-effects of birth, we do not necessarily accept that there may be after-effects of earthly death too.

Why not, however? If the evidence of our own eyes with regard to the irrefutable processes of birth and death governed by strict, consistent laws in the physical happening can be readily accepted, why should it not be a simple step to know intuitively that the outworking of Creation-Law does not simply come to a convenient halt at that point simply because we may believe or wish otherwise? By virtue of the inviolability of those Eternal Laws, humankind can do little else but submit to them, for there ultimately is no other choice. Even in cases of suicide or murder, the physical processes must still inevitably be the same.

Though the Laws governing earthly death in their physical effects are clearly visible to us, they are, nevertheless, still Spiritual in origin. And whether we choose to believe it or not; even The Son of God, Jesus, had to be born of a woman of earth. The Creator could not just simply place Him on the earth as a fully-grown man -- notwithstanding the strong religious belief among many that: “God can do anything He pleases”.

A fully-grown Jesus suddenly appearing amongst the Jews would have meant, of course, that the Catholic Church could never have developed the very wrong “cult of Mariolatry”. We wonder what the “Rituals of Catholicism” would be without the thousands of sombre Catholic marchers endlessly parading “Mary, mother of God” at every opportunity!

From that standpoint consider, again, the later words of Jesus. From Matthew, 5:17-18, Fenton:

“Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have not come to abolish, but to complete them. For I tell you indeed, that until the heavens and the earth shall pass away, a single dot or hairstroke shall not disappear from the law, until all has been completed.”

Thus, the “Natural Laws” could not be circumvented then, not even by Jesus Himself, nor can they be today -– or ever. Not by force of arms, wealth, political power, scientific/intellectual disbelief, rationalist theories, the “Sceptic Societies” of the West and, not least, by religious dogma. Ultimately there is no choice for humankind but to submit to the processes outlined, since it is Divine Eternal Law that drives everything in Creation. By virtue of our free will, we can choose to oppose those Creation Laws. However, the outworking of them will eventually guarantee the appropriate kind of hard and bitter reaping for such opposition. And that is exactly what is happening right now in our “ostensibly-clever” human world.

Therefore, in terms of our current subject, what we cannot change at all is the actual, and thus Lawful, outworking of the death process itself. And since every incident or event that occurs must have some kind of starting point or origin, it should be a simple matter to deduce that the sudden, unexpected arrival of painful experiences in our lives can only be the result of a previous decision made elsewhere.

We constantly stand, therefore, in the centre of all our returns, both good and bad, exactly in accordance with all the free-will decisions responsible for every returning reciprocal effect.

However, because there may not be any recollection of the actual originating decision or event in the present lifetime of an affected individual, or in the lives of others closely associated with that person which could have brought about such a consequence, any end-effect event must clearly presuppose another possibility, i.e., the concept of more than one earth life from where such an outcome could originate.

As previously stated, this is not a view readily accepted in Western thinking, though it is a basic tenet of billions of the world’s peoples. So; just as we can reduce the question of whether there is life after death to either there is, or there is not -- for it surely cannot be both -- we can also ask the same of one life versus many.

Within the restrictive parameters of “the one-life concept” of current Western thought in the scientific and intellectual disciplines and/or in religious doctrines, genuine solutions to society’s increasing problems simply cannot be offered. Very unfortunately for disbelievers, therefore, ignorance and/or rejection of The Law of Rebirth cannot, in any way whatsoever, alter The Truth of its actual reality and outworking.

This general and widespread “unbelief of the West” can be accepted if there is nothing more than just a physical body to contend with. Conversely, if the body is no more than just the physical shell -- i.e., the ‘cloak’ housing the actual you and me -- then, just as the processes of Creation-Law allow for one birth, why could it not allow for others where, at each incarnation, another, but different, ‘outer cloak’ is taken on in precise accordance with that, in any case, Immutable Law?

This revelatory insight provides the actual meaning about the promise of “...the resurrection of the Flesh”, stated by Jesus. As we have previously said, this particular “resurrection” does not mean that bodies long dead will suddenly rise from their graves at some point soon and become clothed in the ‘physical form’ of the original owner. This strangely-mad and totally illogical belief seemingly derives from the Scripture that ostensibly states: “All the dead shall awaken.”

In light of the rapidly increasing degeneration of all aspects of global human activity; if we exercise logic and reason to strive to determine what it might truly mean, then we will intuitively recognise that that Scripture is actually a warning. It is a warning, moreover, that lives the primary essence of The Law of Reciprocal Action and is thus a severe admonition to humankind to spiritually awaken. For the particular Scripture as promoted by global Christendom is not even the correct wording.

This is the true meaning: “All that is dead shall be awakened.”

Thus, it is the awakening of all, everything, that is spiritually dead.

The alarming increase in our problems globally can be more readily understood with that vital revelation. It means that all belief systems, all disciplines of human endeavour, everything that we humans have held sacrosanct or sacred, everything that we might thus far have stated to be inviolable; all must now be forced to show where it truly stands in relation to The Divine Laws of God!

Thus, the spiritual pressure now being exerted more powerfully with each passing day upon all our beliefs and activities, forces the awakening of those belief systems and activities. It does not matter whether they ostensibly hold scientific, philosophical, religious, or political truths. Without exception, everything will be subject to this severe and relentless clarifying and cleansing process.

All that does not stand true --- thereby suffering collapse in its awakening --- thus reveals that it was dead and needed to be awakened i.e., that it did not have as its foundation and guiding principle, the knowledge of Creation-Law!

This “awakening process”, this resurrection, applied in accordance with the inviolability of The Law of Rebirth, thus permits each one of us the opportunity to “put right” past wrongs. Through this mechanism of Divine Grace, man is gifted the means by which he may eventually earn his ascent (return) to his Spiritual origins, his true home.

“Resurrection of the Flesh” is thus a Divine Grace providing the means whereby we are given numerous opportunities to return to earth to atone for past transgressions previously committed in “earthly-body incarnations”.

Yet despite inherently possessing clear and ultimately irrefutable logic, Reincarnation as a concept has fuelled debate for centuries. Even though a very large proportion of the world’s peoples accept it as a factual part of man’s total existence, the Judaeo-Christian religions generally do not.

The basic belief of reincarnation in some form or another has been accepted by most in the Indian sub-continent for the past 2,500 odd years and in other parts of the world for a long time too. It is interesting to note, however, that the so decisively important doctrine of reincarnation -- of rebirth as a human being -- was only expunged from Christian creeds by a very small majority decision at the Council of Constantinople in 553 A.D. What was effectively lost through that decision of appalling ignorance and ego was the greater understanding of the seeming inequality of the world and, indeed, the Love and Justice contained in The Creative Will of God.

Consider; if at that fateful Council meeting only a few men had decided differently, reincarnation would now be a matter of course for Western “religions” also. Had that happened, there would not be today the present fortress of doubt and prejudice against the whole notion of “Rebirth”. In its place would be greater freedom of thinking, rather than this terribly unfortunate constraint into which our current thought-processes have fallen, and solely because of that unfortunate decision taken by a few powerful men centuries ago. In general, it has succeeded in removing any possible larger outlook to the greater connections of our existence, and to the incredible vastness of Creation as a whole.

Because of that decision, we have created the unhealthy situation of not readily accepting death as a natural part of life, and therefore not as an ongoing transitional step in our complete existence either.

The great difficulty with trying to meaningfully grapple with the rapidly increasing problems in society as a whole is that until now there often appeared to be no logical cause for it all. Is it any wonder that suicides are on the increase, particularly among the more impressionable young who are often too emotionally immature to cope with the seemingly insurmountable?

They seek answers but no one will give them the only correct one. Our so-called “educators” reject the very thing that would provide the necessary enlightenment. Yet even they continue to ask: -- ‘Why’? Australian Children’s Advocate and “National Treasure”, Professor Fiona Stanley, on the subject of increasing youth suicide there, soberly observed:

“Despite all that we now know, and all the research that’s been done, nothing is getting any better.”

The concept of Reincarnation will need to be accepted as fact if society wishes to find answers to its problems, for the deliberate rejection of it only pushes away the day of reckoning. It must be understood, however, that reincarnation is governed by the strictness of The Spiritual Laws too. Contrary to many totally wrong beliefs and misconceptions, therefore, one cannot return as a tree, an insect, or an animal.

So, in direct contrast to the cultural or ethnic beliefs of various peoples, our ancestors cannot be such things as those. Inanimate objects have no connection with human Spiritual origins, and neither do psychically produced forms that some indigenous groups revere. Therefore, living, animate creatures such as eagles, tigers and whales etc., must forever remain their own kind. Humankind’s collective Spiritual ancestry can only centre on being human.

Simply and logically put --- once more: The Laws of Nature absolutely decree that we cannot change our species. They thus further decree that under The Law of Rebirth we can only return as human beings. Carrying with us, moreover, all that we have previously sown. Some experiences we are forced to live through may well have their origin in previous earth-lives. And how we live our life now will determine what will come our way in the future, perhaps even in a later earth-life. Whole Nations and races must collectively reap what they have sown as well.

As we explained earlier on in PART I; the destruction of the Axis Powers during the Second World War is a particularly good example of whole peoples and races suffering collectively through the outworking of decisive Divine Creation Laws in concert with their free-will decision to embark upon global war and conquest. And in the maelstrom of that devastation may be seen horrific outcomes for certain races; outcomes unfortunately derived from decisions made in the long-distant past, but which required resolution in another place and time among other peoples.

Under the aegis of The Laws of “Reciprocal Action”, “Attraction...” and “Rebirth”, primarily; the perfection of those Eternal Spiritual Laws decree that events which produce “mass victims of tyranny” do not necessarily have their actual genesis in the historical circumstances immediately preceding the particular incident or event.

The extent and degree of suffering that might be Spiritually-lawfully required to enable a group or even a whole people to awaken to the reason for their plight may need a long period of time from causal decision to end-effect to bring about the correct and exact circumstances for final resolution and expiation. Ordinarily, the group or race imposing the suffering would then set-in-train the reciprocal consequences of its actions which it must expect to receive one day too. Thus, has it always been so!

The difference in the overall era of the 20th and 21st centuries, however, is that the time of return of “consequences from decisions” is considerably shortened. This is the prophesied time in which all past events are pressured to quicker resolutions under the Power of The Eternal Laws of God as they drive the release of all reciprocity.

The Western medical profession’s general refusal to accept this quite logical view of a multi-life concept and become locked, instead, into a single-life one unfortunately translates into another aspect of spiritually-wrong medical practices; and that is the protocol of attempting to go beyond reasonable limits in order to preserve “life”. At all costs seems to be the view, rather than simply accepting the dignified inevitably and reality of a “natural transition” to, and through, the “process” of earthly death.

Of course, life should be extended for as long as it is reasonably possible to do so, but not at the expense of unnecessarily prolonging what should be regarded as the completely normal course of exiting earth-life. Neither should death be desperately fought against when medical reality clearly indicates an imminent demise. The dying one is not actually helped thereby.

REINCARNATION offers the only viable mechanism for mankind to make rational sense of the misery, suffering and tragedies that beset the world today in such a relentless manner. Whilst it also brings good fortune and happiness for some, it is the tragedies deriving from past incarnations that need more urgent clarification. However, as the actuality of reincarnation is a “Living Law of God” -- which no one can change -- it behoves us all to learn what we can about the actual mechanism and process which, in its concept and outworking, actually provides the greatest measure of certainty about earth-life, and life thereafter.

The Indian sage, Paramahansa Yogananda, wrote much about how to live correctly. Perfectly correct living, however, is really only possible with the knowledge of all The Laws of Creation. Even though actively seeking what he intuitively perceived was that complete knowledge existing somewhere on earth during his lifetime, certain pre-conceptions he harboured effectively prevented his taking the final step to personal recognition when given the crucial opportunity which would have led him to it. Notwithstanding that missed vital moment, his inherent wisdom nevertheless offers a good blueprint for basically correct living. His knowledge of reincarnation offers a brief insight into his particular wisdom.

From the sub-heading: “How We Live This Life Determines What We Are in the Next.”

“We have been given the power to reason out where we go and whence we have come. But we don’t take enough pains to analyse ourselves and our lives. Otherwise our common sense would tell us that whatever our character is today it will continue to be after death – perhaps a little better or a little worse, depending on how much effort we are making to improve ourselves. You go along 365 days a year, year after year, and perhaps you have made some progress, but your nature will be the same after death as it was before death. You will not become an angel just because you die! Only the body changes. Death makes no difference, otherwise. Death is like a gate you will pass through. Your body will be gone but you will be in every other respect the same. If you have a violent temper, you will not leave it behind, at death, with your physical body. Your violent temper will remain with you until you conquer it. If in your present life you have observed the laws of healthful living, in your next incarnation you will possess a healthy body. The last portion of life is more important than the first, because what you are at the end of this life is what you will be at the beginning of the next.
   The first part of life is usually stupidly misspent, in a sort of bewildered state. Then romance comes, and finally disease and old age; the struggle with the body starts... The body is a trouble most of the time:... Always trouble, trouble! That is why it is so necessary to your happiness that you realize you are not the body.”
(Man’s Eternal Quest. p.219).

As a key notation on this subject, Reincarnation, as an inviolable Eternal Law, must live the fullness of that fact --- without deviation. This Law also naturally exists within The Laws of Nature that we are familiar with on earth, which are themselves a mirror of the Eternal Laws of God. All dovetail into each other in perfect outworking. As previously stated, perhaps the refusal of many Westerners to accept reincarnation may be due in part to the promoted belief of some Eastern religions that one may be required to return to the earth -- for various purposes of atonement --- as an animal, a bird, or an insect even.

As previously stated in PART I: The inner animating core of man -- his actual life-force --- is Spirit, whilst that of the animal is soul. They are two very different species of animating power from two different levels in Creation.

Therefore, in this context, the human spirit must always remain a human spirit, with absolutely no possibility that it could somehow transmigrate across immovable spiritual boundaries to become a life-form different to that ordained for it by the unalterable Divine Laws of Creation!

In reinforcing-reiteration: Humans must always remain humans. We cannot become animals. And, just as surely: Animals cannot develop into humans!

In terms of the need to “Live the Law” if we wish to ascend to our true home, under The Law of Reciprocal Action atonement is a most necessary requirement in the outworking of our inherent free-will decision-making ability --- a Law which unequivocally states in Galatians 6:7: “What a man sows, that he will also reap.”

In especial reinforcement: Reincarnation therefore provides the “only earthly” long-term mechanism under which transgressions against Divine Creation-Law --- committed on earth in previous incarnations --- can be atoned for and expiated. As it is also a Law of Nature or a natural Law, we strongly reiterate that such Laws unequivocally state that it is not possible to change one’s species, irrespective of any belief to the contrary.

By now, people, we well-know that we are much more than just a physical body, and that means we naturally and inherently possess a separable entity within our material form. The conclusive reality, therefore, is that that is the actual life-force, the animating core that is actually each individual!

(The very strange beliefs of Hinduism centred on totally incorrect teachings on Reincarnation will be critically examined in PART IV A; for from the Akashic Record we will learn what should have developed for India and Hinduism as a result of the two Buddhas’ journeys through that land.)

For the moment, however, let’s delve a little more deeply into The Law of Rebirth primarily in this case from the Christian Bible and early Christian doctrine!


ONE LIFE! ---- OR MANY LIVES?

In terms of a “belief of conviction” about this particular concept/choice, what we determine for ourselves naturally affects every aspect of how we live our individual lives and how we relate to everything and everyone around us. The question of choice here is a 50% one, but, however, with a 100% outcome.

Therefore, just as a personal choice over the question of “life after death” might logically presuppose a certain attitude and lifestyle in its 100% acceptance --- either way --- so might the choice between “one life versus many” also produce a particular conviction as to one’s perceived purpose and final outcome in earthly life.

Yet the problem remains that if the wrong 50% choice is made to begin with --- for whatever reason --- that choice necessarily translates to being 100% wrong, with all its attendant incorrect opinions and views, and thus final outcome. Around the Truth of Reincarnation, therefore, a wrong choice translates to a huge and consequential reciprocal effect under the outworking of Spiritual Law.

Since it is not possible for any human spirit to acquire all the spiritual knowledge that it needs in one lifetime, we therefore state that the concept of multi-lives, or reincarnation, under the immutable aegis of The Spiritual Law of Rebirth, is the only correct ‘possibility’. Thus, have we certainly chosen our 100% outcome!

“Man is a spirit and his body is the dress, the clothes it wears while it is on the earth. Just as an earthman changes his clothes but remains the same person, so the human spirit changes his physical body in the process called death. But the spirit, the owner of the body, lives on after discarding the body.
   Belief in reincarnation is simply the acceptance of the knowledge that a human spirit, in one continuous existence, is given the opportunity to come to the earth more than once. On each occasion, the human spirit takes on a different human body.
   This simple concept is the key to the unravelling of many so-called mysteries, the explanations of the inequalities, apparent injustices and inequities that worry so many well-meaning people, and the understanding of some exceedingly important but difficult passages in the Bible. Reincarnation leads us to a conviction of “the relative insignificance of tribe, race, and nationality”, a conviction that is absolutely essential in moving mankind from its present-day chaos into a just and joyful social, political and economic order.”


AN ESPECIAL NOTE: THE MAN BORN BLIND

An exceptional talent or genius in a particular field, such as that which child prodigies have historically displayed, can stem from the same process too. From the viewpoint of simple and “clarifyingly-brutal” logic, it is ludicrous to believe that just a few short years of childhood would be sufficient to enable a child to produce, for example, marvels of symphonic music, or solve mathematical problems of great complexity. Such a notion is simply untenable as a purely empirical, earth-science, premise. Science, of course, deems the brain to be the sole seat of such talent. However, from the knowledge of Creation-Law, we know that a very different mechanism holds the true picture.

Now, unbelieving Christians; your Bible reveals correct insights into the thought-processes of the people of the day, including the Disciples of Jesus, regarding this belief of Reincarnation --- or Rebirth! In the story of the healing of the blind man, especially; the question the Disciples put to Jesus regarding the reason why the beggar was born blind must clearly presuppose a belief and basic understanding that certain kinds of suffering can only be the result of a spiritual transgression in a previous life. For from the New Testament in John 9:2, we read:

His Disciples accordingly asked Him: “Teacher, who sinned; this man, or his parents, in consequence of which he was born blind?”

It is surely eminently clear that the Disciples would not have asked this question if they did not believe that a man could be born blind as a consequence of a previous sin committed somewhere else in time. A sin, therefore, that could only have been committed in a previous life, in order to be born blind.

Equally clearly, Jesus did not admonish them as fools for believing in such ostensibly “stupid beliefs”. On the contrary, in this particular case, in John 9:3 He informs them that “neither the man nor his parents had sinned”, but that this man was born blind:

“...in order that the workings of God may be displayed through him”.

The obvious connotation from this discourse between Jesus and the Disciples is that reincarnation was a fact of life for them and, moreover, offered exact reasons for hard misfortune such as being born blind. Thus, the puzzlement of the Disciples over this man’s blindness was not about the truth or otherwise of reincarnation, but which of the two possibilities (the blind man’s transgression/s, or the parents sinning) might have caused his blindness in this particular case.

The Old Testament offers a number of relevant passages about reincarnation also, a few of which we can include here. In narrating his call to Prophethood, Jeremiah (1:4-5) stated:

Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; and before you were born I consecrated you, and I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

In Malachi (4:5) the case of the prophet Elijah is also worth analysing:

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.”

Whilst there might be uncertainty among some as to what the “great and terrible day of the Lord” refers to -- the coming of Jesus in His time, or to the Last Judgement of global humanity in ours -- there should be no uncertainty in the clear message that Elijah would be sent back to the earth again. During the period of Christ’s Ministry, some Jewish people interpreted that particular prophecy in the sense of a reincarnation in that he would be born as a baby. Some therefore thought that Jesus was a rebirth of Elijah (Matthew 16:14):

And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; some Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or
one of the prophets.”

So here we have another strong reference that Reincarnation was accepted by the people of that time as factual reality. In the context of multi-earth lives, if we follow this basic thread about Elijah further, then the reply by Jesus to His Disciples with regard to the identity of John the Baptist is especially revealing.

“And if you are willing to accept it , he is Elijah who is to come . He that has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Note that the translation in The Living New Testament Bible extrapolates this particular Scripture thus:

“And if you are willing to understand what I mean, he is Elijah, the one the prophets said would come. And if ever you were ever willing to listen, listen now.”

From those few Scriptures alone, Christians and global Christendom really cannot deny the reality of The Creation-Law of Rebirth! For by doing so in this case very logically means that they state Jesus, The Son of God, to be wrong!

Reader: How would that “human condemnation” stack up against the great and inviolable Law of Reciprocal Action --- “We Reap What we Sow”? Not good at all!

The contentious question of Reincarnation, at least for many who subscribe to the generally accepted ideas of current Western philosophical and materialistic thought, has rarely been given the chance to be intelligently debated. It has invariably been dismissed as Eastern religious nonsense or, in the worst extreme view expounded by some Western/Christian Churches, as something evil stemming from, or having connotations to, Satanism.

To be totally dismissive of an idea in such a highly emotive way might stem more from fear and ignorance rather than from rational, reasoned objectivity. Historically, the record of mankind reveals many instances of clinging to views that were clearly incorrect. Such an unfortunate stance does little to advance the cause of real knowledge for mankind.

Historically, many very eminent men have known of previous past lives. General George Patton firmly believed he had been a Roman general have “known” of their previous past lives. Hitler, also; in a second attempt to conquer Russia. (Reader, you can work out the other historical “failed Russian conqueror” for yourself.)

In addition, there are more than enough incontrovertibly-documented cases where young children have recognised a recent previous incarnation to the point of knowing everything about their previous lives --- even where, at such a tender age, machines of war were perfectly understood.

Of course, not all beliefs of reincarnation share exactly the same views about it either. Arguably, perhaps the most difficult aspect for the Western intellect to accept is a particular notion which promotes the idea that we can return to earth in a form other than human. Either for lessons of experiencing in a personal-wish situation or being forced to in atonement under the “Iron Law of Karma”: The Law of Reciprocal Action.

Reader, you will by now be well-familiar with the premise that only man possesses Spirit as his “inner life-force”. In a previous Discourse we explained the reasons for this. In another we also gave explanations as to why The Eternal Laws cannot be circumvented, including what we may regard as The Laws of Nature.

Therefore, the inviolability of Creation-Law absolutely decrees thus: The notion that the cross-species transmigration of the human spirit into another and different kind of life-form might somehow be valid is not only completely impossible; it is simply ludicrous.

The general thrust of life itself offers each ‘group’ the natural ability to procreate or otherwise produce its own, irrespective of however diverse that ability might be. For only with that “procreative reality” can species exist. Any attempt to procreate outside/across the clearly- defined natural barriers which all species inherently possess, must ultimately fail.

One can quite easily observe this “naturally lawful fact” in just one group of creatures, in that of the animals. Even in those most closely related, such as the big cats for example, the inability to produce offspring between the different kinds should be regarded as clear proof of the inviolability of any transgression of Natural Law, regardless of any particular faith/belief-mode outlook.

Thus, in the case of a “liger” -- a hybrid produced by the mating of a female tiger and a male lion; or a “tigon” -- the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion -- we note that offspring from either union are sterile. It is the same for the mule, a sterile hybrid of a male ass and a female horse. “Mother Nature” will simply not permit cross-species tampering, for that is as it should be.

If that were not the case, and different species were able to cross-breed with any other kind, we would not have a clear, consistent classification of fauna as we now have. In short, it would be disastrous. However, this does not remove the opportunity for natural change or mutation within each species, because that is simply the process of continual natural development, an entirely different situation altogether. Therefore, according to the “Spiritual Rules” of the Creative process for all things, and as we have stressed previously: Humans can only be re-born into human form!

Rebirth, however, is not the same as that which Jesus alluded to in His enlightening statement to Nicodemus; (John 3:3, Fenton):

“Most assuredly I tell you, that unless anyone is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

That particular “birth” is a spiritual or inner awakening or realisation and does not, in any way, clash with multi-earth lives which are obviously physical births.

As a prime example, let us now examine just one particularly vital aspect of this subject. It will offer the reader an explanation of how the early Church determined its final position on this matter of Reincarnation. We should also recognise that there have always been, and there currently still are, a number of very eminent Christian Church leaders who have explicitly stated their support for reincarnation, with the further far-reaching view that the concept does not contradict the teachings of the Bible.

As we have said, many eminent people from all walks of life believe it also and recognise within it the inherent sense of true Justice which reincarnation inherently encompasses. Therefore, if we are to fully understand how there can be so many apparent social injustices and inequities amongst the world’s peoples when we speak of absolute Justice contained within The Law, and how there can be a “Second Death” as clearly stated in the Bible and separate and distinct from being re-born “spiritually”, then we must openly and objectively examine this matter of Reincarnation/Rebirth.


THE EXPUNGING OF REINCARNATION FROM THE BIBLE

Since the generally accepted orthodox Christian view is to basically deny or refute the validity of such an idea, even with some of its leading clergy accepting of it, a need to define a starting point by which we might gain some insight into how the official Church position arose is vital.

The Second Council of Constantinople (553 AD)

“The history of the official Church position on reincarnation is a very complex one. Many assume that the Second Council of Constantinople (552 A.D.) also called the Fifth Ecumenical Council of the church, condemned the teaching of reincarnation, but this assumption has been called into question by some competent church historians.
   The Second Council of Constantinople was called by Emperor Justinian and convened on May 5th, 553 A.D. under the presidency of the Patriarch of Constantinople. However it was the Emperor, who had engaged in bitter [dispute] with Pope Vigilius, who controlled the proceedings. Even though the primary objective was to reconcile the churches of the East and West, the arrangements heavily favoured the East. It is reported that of the 165 bishops who signed the acts of the final meeting on June 2, not more than six could have been from the West. The request of Pope Vigilius for equal representation of bishops from East and West was refused. In protest, the Pope boycotted the meeting, even though he was in Constantinople, the venue of the meeting. However Pope Vigilius eventually accepted the decisions of the Council, an action that was not popular in the West, and which caused some dioceses, including that of Milan, to break off communion with Rome. Milan remained out of communion with Rome till the end of the sixth century.
   Because of the protestations of Pope Vigilius, the Second Council of Constantinople did not open on schedule. While the assembled bishops were waiting, Emperor Justinian ordered them to consider a subject (Origenism) that was not an item in the previously announced agenda. During this extra-conciliary session, fifteen condemnations (anathemas) proposed by the Emperor against the teachings of Origen (who had died three hundred years earlier in 254 AD) were approved. Apparently, one of the condemned teachings was the idea of pre-existence of the soul, and by implication, reincarnation. There is no evidence that Pope Vigilius, who was at the time protesting against the arrangements of the Council approved this action taken by Eastern bishops outside the formal sessions and before the opening of the Council. Thus, it is understandable that some Catholic scholars disassociate the Roman Church from the condemnations of the teachings of Origen, and therefore argue that the Roman Catholic Church has never really condemned the teaching of reincarnation.
   Many otherwise knowledgeable Christians are unaware of the confusion surrounding the Second Council of Constantinople and the inconclusiveness and uncertainty of its decisions. For this reason, some imagine that they are obliged to uphold this ancient condemnation of reincarnation.
   In any case Christians should appreciate that they should not necessarily consider themselves bound by decisions taken by some bishops more than 1,400 years ago. Did not the Church condemn Galileo’s scientific support of the Copernican theory that the sun, and not the Earth, is the centre of the solar system? And the ordinary Christians of that day of course dutifully joined Church officials in denouncing the Copernican theory. Christians at that time probably imagined that the idea which contradicts the Scriptures must have been put in the mind of Copernicus by Satan! Today some Christians, unfortunately, have a similar view of reincarnation.”

One of the main points of interest regarding this important meeting was the fact that such an incredibly far-reaching and definitive decision could have been taken in a side issue separate from the main agenda. The either-or aspect of a one-life concept versus a multi-life one decided that day actually calls into question the very essence of much of Bible teaching, the cornerstone on which supposedly rest many Western beliefs and ideals.

For a few men, therefore, to cast the disturbing shadow of such a definitive decree down through the centuries surely smacks of religious machinations, particularly the edict issued against the Christian theologian, Origen, who believed in reincarnation. Among other things the edict stated that anyone who said or thought that the souls of men had had an earlier life (pre-existence) “...and were now incarnated in bodies ... would be anathematised”!

One might question the true motives of the Roman Emperor Justinian in ordering the bishops to consider condemning, among the other fifteen “anathemas”, the concept of reincarnation. Perhaps the idea of being forced to face future lives to “reap what one sowed” – with the probability of some of those incarnations being lived out in less than favourable circumstances was, in itself, considered blasphemous to one very much accustomed to living a life of great wealth and absolute power. The possibility of “inheriting” anything less than that must have been “anathema” to Justinian; since the line of Roman Emperors considered themselves to be divine and thus descended from the gods.

The very thought of reincarnation and atonement for an Emperor’s possibly debased previous excesses perhaps needed to be expunged from the day consciousness of the Empire in general. From the spiritual point of view, of course, no amount of legislation, debate or decree could have possibly altered the fact of The Law of Rebirth. Even the mighty Roman Emperor, Justinian, had to obey Divine Law.

Finally, Church historians point out that no papal encyclical against Reincarnation has ever been issued --- a point that should be of particular interest to Roman Catholics.

So, for three hundred years before the Emperor Justinian declared it “anathema”, early Christianity embraced Reincarnation. The critical knowledge of the immutable Divine Law of Rebirth was thus withheld from people. The truth about it would have given deeper meaning and greater significance to their lives on earth and in the “beyond” as it would today!

We should therefore expand our horizons to encompass the recognition that only repeated earth-lives offer the human spirit the means whereby it is able to accumulate sufficient experiences “of the spirit” to gain true spiritual insight as to its Origin and purpose. Multi earth-lives provide the necessary parameters whereby human spirits are gifted the opportunity to develop genuine spiritual maturity.

The intervals between incarnations should be regarded as a very necessary time of learning also, as the life experienced in the “beyond” will be a direct result of the kind of life lived whilst on earth under the outworking of The Laws of “Sowing and Reaping”, “Attraction...” and “Spiritual Gravity”.

Each further earth-life, also strictly governed by The Eternal Laws, will bring the soul to the correct circumstances of the family, the race and the geographical location that it will need for its further maturing, either for its own learning, to provide the same for others in its new environment, and/or to expiate past misdeeds there.

Whatever the reason for an incarnation, it can only be in accordance with the strictness of The Spiritual Laws, so he will be justly placed in terms of circumstances and the requirement to experience that which he once sowed. A purification of the whole person is a necessary part of the overall learning process, provided, of course, that the path taken for this purpose truly aspires to “genuine spirituality”. Even if this were not voluntarily the case, however, the same Laws would work on regardless, still bringing to that particular individual the consequences of previous decisions at the appropriate time.

Now, because our inherent free-will endowment determines what will return to us under the aegis of The Spiritual Laws, this “constant-return” process takes effect whether we are on the earth or in the “Planes of the Beyond”. Thus, we continually stand in the “reciprocal-effect mechanism” of all our past decisions.

Not necessarily the return effect of all at once but, nevertheless, in whatever is lawfully ordained for that particular point in time. In this lawful and completely inviolable process, there is no escape!

The fact that we generally vacillate between making good and bad decisions means we can naturally expect a life of changing fortunes. Therefore, some will always be better off than others at any given moment. Others will be worse off, simply by virtue of the reciprocal effect of those Divine Laws. That is the reality for all. Since changing fortunes are a fact of life for most people, the concept of repeated earth-lives not only provides clear solutions to the very worrying problems and trends current on earth in our 21st century, but perhaps more decisively allows an insight into the Wisdom and Grace --- but especially Love --- of the Creative Will of God in granting humankind the opportunity to “make good” all past mistakes. If we are not to suffer potentially hard fate continually, that is what we must do!


SUMMARY:

The process of Reincarnation, whereby we as human spirits are ordained by Divine Law to accept Rebirth on earth, is subject to, and affected by, the collective outworking of all the Primordial Laws of Creation. The free-will decisions of our previous life, or lives, will determine who we will be in the next one, what our spiritual lessons will be, and what we can also spiritually offer that group of souls into which we will be incarnated --- to those who will then be our earthly family.

That, in turn, will determine such factors as to whether we will be born disabled or complete, whether our new circumstances will be one of wealth or struggle, whether of the same race, geographical location or religion as our last incarnation, or one completely different. Irrespective of those considerations, however, the circumstances of our next incarnation will precisely offer the necessary conditions we will need for our further spiritual maturing in the first instance.

The key point in all of this, however, is the fact that we are still masters of our own destiny. In that sense our inherent spiritual free-will provides the mechanism whereby we can always and at any time set in place new decisions for ourselves. The new direction, called forth by those new decisions, will of course change or modify our life-path from any previous ideas set in place by us! Through the outworking of all our previous decisions, therefore, certain “experiences of the spirit” will be part of that necessary path and may perhaps even provide a lifetime of hard struggle.

Whether or not that “hard life” is the case will depend upon the lawful outcomes of previous personal decisions acting upon us as we live out that life. Even if we should live spiritually-correctly, yet still experience a lifetime of struggle because of past transgressions, the Spiritual Laws will nonetheless set-in-train beneficial returns for a future time. For the more powerful experiences will be impressed upon our spirit in any case, be it through great joy or tragedy.

An apt description from the Bible refers to the body as “the deadly carcass”. For through it and in it, by the decisions we make, we bring forth our future incarnations of either blessing or struggle. Thus: The Laws of Creation intermesh to bring about precisely lawful outcomes. Yet it always remains with the individual as to what those personal outcomes will be.

As stated regularly throughout this Work, only the decision is free, the consequences are not! So, in cases where two options are presented, whilst we will always have a 50% option or choice, there is always only a 100% outcome --- after the particular decision has been taken!

Of course, there is nothing to prevent one from modifying or radically changing the original decision with a second or even third one. As we have told you, those decisional changes will ultimately then bring the corresponding outcomes at the commensurate future point.

That very obviously means that in terms of the thousands of years of religious wars and killing, the really stupid thing about those who killed and were killed for their “religious” beliefs over that period, many will have lived previous lives in the religions that they had later battled, killed, and/or died for. The same applies today where many Muslim Jihadists will have been Jews and even Christians in past lives --- and vice-versa. Hindus and Christians; Muslims and Hindus etc, etc. That is The Law!

In any case, despite what we may try to offer here, our human attempts cannot ever possibly match that which we are “Directed to Proclaim” ----- The True and Final Knowledge!

To that end on this subject right now, let’s all learn how it really is, and hopefully offer up deep gratitude for such Life-crucial knowledge.

Therefore: From the Hand of Imanuel, The Spirit of Truth, Son of Man, and humankind’s Eternal Mediator:

ASCENT

   Bear in mind that every life on earth is a short time of schooling, and that you yourselves do not cease to exist when you lay aside your physical body. You will continually live or continually die! Continually enjoy bliss or continually suffer!
   Whoever imagines that with earthly burial everything is also ended and balanced for him, may turn and go his own way; for he is only trying to elude himself thereby. Horrified, he will come face to face with the Truth . . . and will have to begin his path of suffering! His true self, deprived of the protection of the body, whose density surrounded him like a wall, will then be attracted, enveloped and held fast by what is homogeneous.
   It will be more difficult for him, and for a long time impossible, to arouse the earnest volition for what is better, which could liberate and help him to ascend, because he is entirely subject to the influence of the homogeneous surroundings, which does not carry the kind of light-thought that might awaken and support him. He must suffer doubly under everything he has created for himself. For this reason ascent is much harder than when he was in the flesh, where good and evil dwelt side by side, which only the protection of the physical body makes possible because . . . this earth-life is a school in which every “ego” is given the opportunity of further development according to its free will.
   Therefore rouse yourselves at last! The fruit of every thought will return to you, here or there, and you will have to taste of it! No one can escape this fact.

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH:
And SON OF MAN!

Reader: Once more you have been exposed to Divine Truth Absolute! From so-called “human knowledge” we have offered all sorts of “supporting stuff” about the many subjects this Work must necessarily cover. In the end, however, the huge amount of that kind of ancillary information is just “window dressing”.

For on every one of those subjects, the relatively small amount of Text we have used from The Spirit of Truth’s Wondrous and Sublime Grail Message very succinctly and very powerfully gives us “everything” we need for complete and unequivocal “KNOWLEDGE”!

With that revelatory-knowledge from The Son of Man: If you thought you knew what “Resurrection” really meant, then you’ve now learnt that you didn’t! Rather than that fact somehow being perhaps problematic, we should all surely rejoice at being gifted with the precise knowledge that can help us to live correctly according to Creation-Law, and thus permit us to return to our true home far above this World of Matter!
