Actually we do. The fact of reincarnation reveals itself throughout our everyday lives. We simply must be open to seeing and accepting it. The child prodigy, love at first sight, immediate antagonism, a compelling sexual attraction, the "I feel like I have known you all my life" sensation, d�j� vu experiences, phobias, and seemingly unfounded fears�all can be signals of reincarnation.
Our physical body, emotions, and mental attitudes often reflect past life thought and behavioral patterns. The universal law of cause and effect rules all of life, including humanity�s.
Continuity of consciousness, while in the physical body, would be overwhelming for the majority of humanity. As we are born into the physical plane, we mercifully forget much of what we know. Our soul decides upon specific goals for the particular incarnation. To have our minds filled to overflowing with memories of all past lives would be to defeat ourselves before we get started.
Reincarnation is the means by which humanity evolves into the perfected
state of a child of God.
Reincarnation is the path towards God. Many important lessons must be learned here on Earth, and in the spirit realm between incarnations. The challenges we face vary from lifetime to lifetime. It may be dealing with poverty in one life, and then fabulous wealth in another. Receiving hatred and prejudice in one life, then having roles reversed to see how you treat others from a position of power.
Do we have the natural inquisitiveness of a child? Or are our minds fully ossified with smug self-righteousness? Are we trying to make progress, or just floating along with the current? Do we try to nurture love in our hearts, or sow disharmony wherever we go? I've heard it explained that every person is on the path toward God, some are just moving faster than others. I hope that becoming more like God will be our strongest desire, because I truly believe all our desires are granted us. I hope we never lose the joy of self-discovery (which in many cases leads to God-discovery), no matter what challenges lie in our path. They're there because we need them to grow. With the right attitude, not only will we maximize our growth, but we'll make the world a better place along the way. May God bless you as you journey.
Earth is a very special planet in that souls of different levels of consciousness can mix together and learn from each other. We come to Earth from the Universe to learn about ourselves and grow spiritually. We learn from our experiences and advance; or if we don't learn from our experiences then we don't advance and must go through the same experience or one like it until we do learn. So the first thing to learn is that experiences, no matter how they may seem, are there to teach you a lesson - LEARN THE LESSON.
