Karma and Reincarnation

Reincarnation is the belief that after death, your soul or essence is reborn into another body. This process is also known as transmigration of the soul, and many people believe that souls are reincarnated over several lifetimes.

In practical terms, your body dies, but your soul lives on. Your soul then returns to the source of energy, and later to a different body. The cycle repeats indefinitely, or until your spirit reaches enlightenment.

What is Reincarnation?

Reincarnation, as the name suggests, is a process of reincarnation, that is, incarnating again after death, coming back to life. Thus, a disincarnated spirit would start to inhabit again a physical, material body, recreating an earthly experience, with new opportunities to correct past mistakes, to bet on new experiences and to evolve.

The act in question would then obey the identity developments of the frequency combinations, being linked to time, place, person, motive and culture, with the spirit having full awareness of the plan it must follow in this new carnal experience, being able to count on the help or even influence of other spirits to accomplish its passage.

From the moment the soul takes on a body again, the spirit begins its existence in the material sphere through an open system that has free will and is susceptible to suffering and disembodiment, that is, its subsequent passage from life to death.

This spirit’s experience in a new reincarnation is influenced in life by past experiences, whether in other incarnations or during the period of disincarnation. So that small memories, affinities, feelings and potentialities seem apt even without logical explanation.

From its free will, the spirit that goes through reincarnation can then balance these influences, making choices, exchanges, changes, or just ignoring them, which exposes it to positive consequences or not, to balances or dissonances with the world around it, but always leading it to an evolution that will be stored.

These experiences, in turn, would be linked to the frequency demanded and not necessarily to the time, the duration, which explains a possible equality of tendencies between an elderly person and a child, showing that the spirit never stops, whether on a plane or in between planes.

Its main function is to seek learning, improvement, and baggage of experiences, marks that will allow it to live more and more soberly and righteously in the material world, increasingly advancing in the stages of experimentation.

What is the purpose of reincarnation?

The purpose of reincarnation is the continued evolution of the soul toward enlightenment, or the return to oneness with the energy of the Source (sometimes called God, Spirit, or Divine).

During its evolution through life, the soul seeks to experience and grow from these experiences until it has absorbed all that it set out to learn.

Some souls choose to remember certain aspects, talents, or skills learned in past lives that will help in the current incarnation. Many believe that child prodigies are souls who have conscious and subconscious recall of skills learned in previous lives.

The personality, gender, and appearance may change from one incarnation to another, but the soul is always the same.

Proving the existence of reincarnation is difficult, because people supposedly do not remember what happened to them in past lives. We can only guess, because there is a lot of evidence that shows marks, memories, behaviors, and fears that may suggest traumas and experiences from other lives.

If your soul is not here for the first time, it will show signs. There is a maturation of energy and soul that can be perceived by these signs that will help you understand what your role is in this world, and whether you have been in it many times.

Reincarnation in religions

There are various beliefs about reincarnation that seek to unravel the journey of the soul. In Hinduism, for example, one encompasses all life forms in the reincarnation process for a more complete experience.

However, the underlying core that is shared by all reincarnation belief systems is the soul’s ultimate destination: a return to God as co-creator.

A large percentage of religious belief systems adopt reincarnation as the natural order of the soul’s progression, including:

Hinduism
Pagans
Druids
Esoteric Christianity
Buddhism (used more as parables than as a belief system)
Taoism (evolution of the soul)
Orthodox Judaism

The ancient Norse believed in reincarnation, as did the Native Americans and Celts.

Samsara, the wheel of reincarnation

In Buddhist and Hindu texts, we may come across quite often the word samsara – closely related to the process of reincarnation.

Samsara is often defined as the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, governed by karma. Some people may also understand it as the world of suffering and dissatisfaction (dukkha), the opposite of nirvana, which is the condition of being free from suffering and the cycle of rebirth.

In literal terms, the Sanskrit word samsara means “to flow” or “to pass through.” It is illustrated by the Wheel of Life and can be understood as the state of being bound by greed, hatred, and ignorance, or as a veil of illusion that hides true reality. In traditional Buddhist philosophy, we are trapped in samsara through one life after another until we find awakening through enlightenment.

Reincarnation for Spiritists

Spiritism teaches us that reincarnation is a process of evolution, whereby the individual human spirit, created in a state of simplicity and ignorance, is destined to reach higher and higher levels of knowledge and morality.

From one physical life to the next, and between them, the spirit retains its individuality. The process of reincarnation adheres to the universal law of cause and effect, whereby each life offers not only a chance to learn through new experiences, but also a chance to make amends for past transgressions.

Reincarnation is a blessing, for in the justice of the natural laws designed by our creator, we will all one day achieve perfect happiness, regardless of our present condition. The time it takes to reach this ultimate goal depends entirely on the individual, as each being chooses to use his or her free will. However, a perfect state of harmony and a true and complete understanding of love will be achieved by all.

Is there reincarnation in Christianity?

The Holy Bible states that after death comes judgment: therefore, for the Catholic holy book, souls would not have a second chance, but would pay, before judgment, for their sins. But the doctrine says that there is a contradiction in the Bible itself that suggests the existence of resurrection in the case of Elijah and John the Baptist.

The theory most accepted by Christians states that, instead of continually cycling through an increasingly destabilized world, the Word of God states, “as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). According to the Bible, all mankind will be restored to life (resurrected, not reincarnated; John 5: 28-29).
