The beliefs concerning reincarnation have great ethical impact on human life and our relationship to the world.
They suggested I should introduce an element of reincarnation in the story. At first, I thought that was silly. But then, this whole time dimension began to fascinate me.
The soul grows by reincarnation in bodies provided by nature, more complex, more powerful, as the soul unfolds greater and greater faculties. And so the soul climbs upward into the light eternal. And there is no fear for any child of man, for inevitably he climbs towards God.
Reincarnation occurs because we decide that we haven't learned enough lessons.
My whole belief system is that our paths are drawn for us. I believe in reincarnation. I believe we're here to learn and grow. We choose how we come into this life based on what it is we have to learn. Some people have harder lessons than others.
Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death, reincarnation, and karma, it has very serious implications for our behavior.
I don't really understand that process called reincarnation but if there is such a thing I'd like to come back as my daughter's dog.
Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.
And a friend of mine in the Christys, we used to sit up at night and talk and read and wonder if reincarnation, and if it wasn't reality, what would happen to the human spirit when the body dies? Is there an afterlife? Just questions like that.
If reincarnation is a useful biological idea it is certain that somewhere in the universe it will happen.
