Reincarnation FAQ According to Theosophy
Bianca:
What are these loves? must be asked. They are either
(a) a love for the mere physical body, or
(b) one for the soul within.
Of course in the first case, the body being disintegrated at death, it is not possible for us,
nor need we wish--unless we are grossly materialistic--to see that in the other life. And
personality belongs only to the body. Hence, if the soul that we do love inhabits another
physical frame, it is the law--a part of the law of Reincarnation not often stated or dwelt
on--that we will again, when incarnated, meet that same soul in the new tenement.
We cannot, however, always recognize it. But that, the recognition or memory of those
whom we knew before, is one of the very objects of our study and practice. Not only is
this the law, as found in ancient books, but it has been positively stated, in the history
of the Theosophical Society, in a letter from an Adept addressed not many years ago to
some London theosophists.
In it he asked them if they imagined that they were together as incarnated beings for
the first time, stated that they were not, and laid down the rule that the real affinities
of soul life drew them together on earth.
To be associated against our will with those who lay upon us the claim of mother, father,
brother, son, or wife from a previous life would neither be just nor necessary. Those relat-
ions, as such, grew out of physical ties alone, and souls that are alike, who really love
each other, as well as those who harbor hate, are brought together in mortal bodies as
now father and now son--, or otherwise.
So, then, with the doctrine of Devachan we have the answer. In that state we have with
us, for all practical purposes and to suit our desire, every one whom we loved on earth:
upon being reincarnated we are again with those whose souls we are naturally attracted to.
By living up to the highest and best of our convictions, for humanity and not for self,
we make it possible that we shall at last recognize in some earth-life those persons whom
we love, and to lose whom forever seems such a dreary and uninviting prospect.
Path, August, 1888
Volitzer:
We all get reborn.
What happens is when we die our souls go to a necrotron that is positioned in the Sinus-Medii Region on the moon. Since the moon rotates as fast as it revolves and people die every day. The necrotron intakes souls that have lived and recently died then formats the memory of each soul before firing them off back to Earth in new pregnancies. In esence there maybe a reincarnated Einstein and MLK walking among us right now. As well as a Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot.
Occasionaly the necrotron doesn't fully format a soul's memory and like the case with Patton, a soul will retain a memory of a past life. Many times this will manifest in dreams or in the form of Deja Vu.
Then if an exo-human tries to interfer with Earthly affairs and gets killed like say from Venus. Then his or her soul gets caught up in the Earth-moon reincarnation cycle.
For some strange reason I have had a strange inclination to ponder ancient burial tombs in lunar caves on the moon. I have written them into various stories with no prior knowledge or experience.
Bianca:
FRIENDS OR ENEMIES IN THE FUTURE
THE fundamental doctrines of Theosophy are of no value unless they are applied to daily life.
To the extent to which this application goes they become living truths, quite different from
intellectual expressions of doctrine. The mere intellectual grasp may result in spiritual pride,
while the living doctrine becomes an entity through the mystic power of the human soul.
Many great minds have dwelt on this.
Saint Paul wrote:
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become
as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and underst-
and all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed
the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity,
it profiteth me nothing.
Bianca:
The Voice of the Silence, expressing the views of the highest schools of occultism, asks us
to step out of the sunlight into the shade so as to make more room for others, and declares
that those whom we help in this life will help us in our next one.
Buttresses to these are the doctrines of Karma and Reincarnation. The first shows that we
must reap what we sow, and the second that we come back in the company of those with
whom we lived and acted in other lives. St. Paul was in complete accord with all other
occultists, and his expressions above given must be viewed in the light Theosophy throws
on all similar writings. Contrasted with charity, which is love of our fellows, are all the
possible virtues and acquirements. These are all nothing if charity be absent.
Why? Because they die with the death of the uncharitable person; their value is naught,
and that being is reborn without friend and without capacity.
This is of the highest importance to the earnest Theosophist, who may be making the
mistake of obtaining intellectual benefits, but remains uncharitable. The fact that we are
now working in the Theosophical movement means that we did so in other lives, must do
so again, and, still more important, that those who are now with us will be reincarnated
in our company on our next rebirth.
Bianca:
Shall those whom we now know or whom we are destined to know before this life ends be
our friends or enemies, our aiders or obstructors in that coming life?
And what will make them hostile or friendly to us then? Not what we shall say or do to and
for them in the future life. For no man becomes your friend in a present life by reason of
present acts alone. He was your friend, or you his, before in a previous life. Your present
acts but revive the old friendship, renew the ancient obligation.
Was he your enemy before, he will be now even though you do him service now, for these
tendencies last always more than three lives. They will be more and still more our aids if
we increase the bond of friendship of today by charity. Their tendency to enmity will be
one-third lessened in every life if we persist in kindness, in love, in charity now. And that
charity is not a gift of money, but charitable thought for every weakness, to every failure.
