It has been said by some that anyone who rejects reincarnation has either not really looked into the subject, not experienced it, or is in a state of denial, possibly because of religious or other dogmatic beliefs.
Some might say, that’s a shame, because, if people knew that reincarnation is real then they would no longer have a fear of dying.
Knowing that no such place as hell exists because instead of going there they live on in other bodies lifetime over lifetime.
It has also been said that the only hell that really exists is the one created in one’s mind…
Further, there’s no longer having the fear of dying and not existing…
-Consider this reincarnation article in relation to the secular, non-religious perspective of the afterworld.
They would further realize that skills and abilities could be developed over lifetimes… What is it you would like to achieve through gaining mastery with something over lifetimes? Unknowingly, you may already be doing this.
On the other hand, in realization, you may want to escape the seemingly never-ending cycles of reincarnation living here on planet Earth as a plan to escape the controlling, enslaving Matrix.
Evidence for reincarnation is supported by
Reincarnation had been accepted by ancient cultures all over the world. Just a few of the many examples include, Hinduism one of the oldest religions, Taoism, native Americans, Aborigines and the Mayans…
Cover-up and denial of reincarnation didn’t really start until the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church: In 325AD a meeting took place; the infamous ‘Council of Nicaea,’ involving church representatives and other religious figures from different countries.
They took the stories describing a mythological sun-god man tied into sun symbolism and its astrological movements over time. Each story had the same biography (born 25th December, virgin birth, started teaching at 12 years old and grew up to be the light, the way and saviour of the world… was crucified and went to heaven…) and from this it has been said that the New Testament Jesus character was invented.
That unlike the earlier mythological characters, according to a number of researchers these authority figures falsely claimed that the Jesus character had existed as a real person…
(Apologies for stepping on some people’s toes if their religious beliefs don’t see eye to eye with this.) However, I would strongly recommend you looking into the above related claims and your own conclusions.
-Now, the point to all this with regard to reincarnation is to do with the heaven and hell part of the story. If people die and reincarnate then there is a serious hole in the plot for the New Testament Jesus story: Instead of reincarnating, people should have gone to heaven or hell…
So, because there was so much at stake for the ruling church establishment they had to find a way of covering up these pre-Christian texts. So they destroyed the many books documenting the earlier mythological god men to stop people finding out where they got their ideas from, and the texts mentioned reincarnation…
They also destroyed other Gnostic cultures that knew about reincarnation… Then later, another meeting was held, the ‘Council of Constantinople’ (a second meeting followed and then there were others over a roughly 500 year span of meetings) which resulted in authorizing condemning people to death for making reincarnation known.
Many people today accept reincarnation. Acceptances have come from near death experiences, deep meditation, astral travel, experiments with psychedelic drugs, supporting Eastern religions and cultures… and from researching the already mentioned documented history.
Then there are the compelling pieces of evidence for reincarnation in the form of children giving their accounts that they had lived before. This type of research and its extraordinary findings had been carried out by Dr. Ian Stevenson and Carol Bowman. They had looked into thousands and thousands of cases.
-Surely, with an open mind, all this evidence seriously begs the question: Can reincarnation help explain human behaviour? Have the missing pieces of puzzle been found through reincarnation when it comes to forming the big picture on explaining human behaviour?
Let’s take a look.
Genius
As already mentioned, regarding the subject of mastery, maybe people of genius are those that have developed extraordinary ability through the help of doing the same thing over many lifetimes?
Or maybe…
Simply, people are better at things than others because they’ve done them before in a previous life.
Relationships
Do we relate to certain people so strongly because we had been with them in previous lives..?
Sexuality
Maybe people are lesbian, gay or bisexual because of past life influences or perhaps couldn’t decide what sex to chose for the next incarnation…
Psychopathology
Could this have come about through past life influences? Can past lives explain why some of us are able to get over certain traumatic experiences while others, having had the same thing happen to them do not and develop mental disorders such as narcissism and psychopathy?
-These are just some of the things that suggest reincarnation has been at work. I hope that this article has given the reader a few useful and interesting insights.
