What Lies After Death?
Qoais:
Here's the theory.
The system of reincarnation was developed because entities that were at one time totally spiritually enlightened and without flaw, introduced themselves into this dimensional world and became stuck in it's grossness. (Not meaning icky goo goo) Meaning density. (ok - maybe icky goo goo afterall! :) ) Having become stuck in the living creatures they'd manifested themselves in, they could now not get back to their previous state which we would I suppose, call a spiritual entity, rather than a solid one. Having become stuck, they were no longer able to be in the presence of "God" which is the ultimate goal of all beings that were created by God. To not be able to be in His presence was hell.
Not all the entities that God created, became stuck here. If one takes what Edgar Cayce said, then the entity known to us as Jesus, at an earlier time - much earlier - when these entities got stuck, got together with other like minded entities and developed the plan called reincarnation so that no soul was condemned to never be able to stand in the presence of their Father. To get back to their spiritual being-ness if you will, the road was very long and arduous. We read in the Bible where people lived longer lives. Personally, I think the plan was, that the longer you lived, the more you learned toward regaining your spiritual condition, however, that's not how it worked, and the life span was shortened, so that one could better cope with all the lessons one needs to learn in order to reach that ultimate goal again.
As we proceed through these lifetimes, we interact with others and depending on how we treat them and behave towards them, we create what is known as Karmic debt. If we treat someone wrong in one lifetime, somewhere along the line, we will have to repay that debt. All the good we do is added up as well until there comes a lifetime where we have no lessons left to learn and our Karmic debt is paid. Then we no longer have to reincarnate.
It is my belief that if we could life the golden rule we would be well on our way to not having to come back. At least not to earth. I think there are other realms that we must pass through also, before we reach perfection in the eyes of the Creator. Although that statement in itself - to me - is contrary to what I myself deem is God. Whether I am right or wrong, I won't know until I do die, and I am not afraid of death. I'm afraid of getting old and senile and crippled ;D

The entities that first entered the earth plane, entered into the animals that existed and could not get out. That does not mean they were not still aware of what they had been, and they had not lost all the knowledge they had of the universe. They did gradually forget their origins over time, but having realized they were stuck here, and knowing they had to work to get back to their origins, they tried to devise and manifest physical bodies that would accommodate the work they had to do, to get back their spiritual selves. Eventually, after many trials and tribulations, they concluded this form we call human was the perfect one and worked to perfect it. It must be realized that in those times, the work was done with the mind. The mind projected and manifested what it projected. Eventually that ability was lost. In his works somewhere, and I've mentioned this before, Cayce talks about the first perfect human being born in Egypt when he was Ra Ta, the priest there in some long ago lifetime, that had no extra appendages such as fins or a tail.

I did not realize Dr. Stevenson had passed away three years ago, it came as a surprise to me. Not that I've followed him over the years, but I did read his books years ago and was totally in awe of the things he recorded. I was impress at the time because he could have lost his job and reputation for studying the paranormal back in those days.
Since the 1960s, Dr. Stevenson and his colleagues at the University of Virginia have amassed a collection of around 2,500 cases that are suggestive of reincarnation. These cases come from all over the globe, although a majority of them are from South Asian countries with cultures and religions that tend to hold a belief in the possibility of reincarnation such as India, Sri Lanka, Southwest China, and Myanmar ( Burma ). The most interesting cases tend to involve a child around 2 to 3 years old that, upon learning to speak, seems to be able to recall people, places, events, and/or personal memories that the child could not have known about through conventional means, suggesting that the child is remembering the life of another person. In many cases, it is learned upon investigation that some of the child's memories can correspond quite well with the life of a deceased individual (whom Dr. Stevenson often called "the previous personality, " used only as labeling term) that frequently had met with a tragic or violent death.
