What Is Reincarnation?

Reincarnation Reincarnation is the process used by Spirit to progress the soul through evolutionary cycles. With each lifetime, the soul repays karmic debt, receives rewards for karmic credit and sets-up situations that cause the soul to face spiritual lessons and make choices to progress the enlightenment of the soul. If we learn our lessons, we move forward, if we repeat old patterns and chose not to learn, we can remain stagnant and will have to repeat the lesson again. This is similar to Transmigration, but it's not the same thing.   What is the spirit? The spirit is the culmination of all our lifetimes, energies, and spiritual essence. The whole of who we are. Every life, every memory and every action ever taken on ones spiritual path is the essence of a spirit.   What is the soul? The soul is a subset or smaller section of our spirit. The section of our spirit that we chose to pull into a single physical incarnation to work with and work on. Of all the lifetimes we've had, we couldn't cram all of the karmic debt/assets, knowledge or lessons into one incarnation. It would be over whelming and too much to work on in one life. So we choose a maximum of 22 past lives to pull from. These 22 past lives, and the present incarnation (totaling 23), create the Spiritual DNA or soul of a single incarnation.   The composition of who we are, the color of our eyes, skin tone, hair color, family genetics and so on are wrapped in the physical DNA we get from our parents. Remember, everything in life is about balance and the spiritual universe does have an order and structure to even the smallest detail. The 23 physical DNA composition balance with the 23 spiritual DNA compositions and make us who we are in mind/body/spirit.   So what is included in the Spiritual DNA? Other than the karma brought forth from those 22 past lives, we pull in characteristics to define our spiritual purpose or goals. These 7 layers or 7 spiritual characteristics help to create our foundation as an incarnated being. All these characteristics are combined with the physical DNA and help to make you the person you are today. Our Origin/Purpose (a mission so to speak like that of the Pleiadian bridge builder), Our Talents (such as communication), Our Skills (such as a skilled sculptor), Our Environment (issues associated with living in a big family for instance), Our Back Ground or Creed (such as being Irish), Our Potential (such as spiritual awareness) Our Spiritual Balance (such as incarnating as a female when most of your previous lives have been male.)   Who chooses which lives we bring into this one? Before you're born or attach to the physical body your going to inhabit in this incarnation, your spirit makes a few decisions. You decide which past lives to pull into this one, you decide the lessons and karmic events you'll work on, you can make an agreement with another soul(s) to join together in this coming life to resolve personal karma. Such as your mother and father, friends or a spouse. All these issues are defined in a Master Plan (like a spiritual blue print) for the coming life.   As with any blue print, as you build the structure, issues or situations arise that cause you to make choices to further detail or refine the original plan. This is the law of Free Will and how we progress and evolve the soul. Our spirit can provide the situations, but the final outcome is never predefine. That is determined by free will and choice. The soul learns and hopefully progresses along it's spiritual path through these choices.   What hapens wen the Soul completes it's mission? Once the soul has made it's choices and completed it's mission, it will leave this physical world. It's important to remember that the soul is always connected to the larger spirit. Choices are being made every moment through out the life of the soul that cause adjustments to the spiritual blue print. At some point, the soul will see the life it has built and decide the construction has been completed. When the physical body dies, the soul detaches itself and prepares to return to the larger spiritual body.   After death, the soul typically remains with the physical body until it is properly put to rest, if that's possible. Of course there situations where that may not be possible, such as in times of war, floods or other natural disasters and so on. In these cases, the soul makes it's own determination of when to leave the side of the physical body. The soul will comfort those who mourn their passing and take the opportunity to say good-bye to those who were in their life. Typically this occurs through dreams we have of our lost loved one.   When the physical connections have been put to rest, the soul will travel to the spiritual realm. There are way too many theories about what this spiritual place is to document here, even in the metaphysical world. So let's focus on what happens once your soul is in the spiritual realm. You are greeted by your loved ones who have passed on before you. They will appear to you in forms that you recognize and are familiar with.   The soul spends some time readjusting and remembering, at which time it rejoins the energy of the larger spirit it came from. The knowledge, wisdom, and physical experience the soul gained while incarnated is now merged with the larger spirit. An assessment is made by the Divine energies and the spirit concerning progression of enlightenment based on the lessons in the past incarnation. In other words, the spirit determines what it learned and what it needs to repeat. What karma it repaid and what it gained, and so on. The spirit now decides how to proceed on it's path to At-one-ment.   Typically the spirit remains in the spiritual realm for 50 years or more. Time does not flow on the spiritual realm the way we think of it here. So 'timing' of transitions is not set in stone and vary based on the choices of the spirit. Many spirits decide to provide service to other spirits it had been linked with. Such as taking on one of the spirit guide roles to a person who is still incarnated in the physical world.   When the spirit has completed it's work on the spiritual realm and decided to incarnate into another physical form, the whole process of building a new spiritual blue print starts over again.   Finding your past lives. There are many ways to find your past lives. Past life regressions, past life readings, and personal meditations are all good ways to discover your past. However, in today's society, anyone can hang out a shingle. So if you search out someone to offer you a regression or reading, please be sure they are qualified before you pay for their services.   One of the easiest and most affordable ways to discover your past lives, is for you to discover them yourself. You can do this through a Past Life Guided Meditation. Source: 1, b2, b4, b7, b8, b9, o14, b15, b18
