For as long as I can remember I have not understood why it is said that some people go to heaven and some go to hell – it never really made any sense to me.
I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices.
I could not understand either, that if God was love, why would he send some people to hell to rot for eternity, and others that were good to fluffy clouds, to kind of um, well… sit around with angels playing harps. Even though I was quite scared of the hell option I remember feeling heaven felt a bit boring, a bit mundane and a bit surreal.
I had a limited religious upbringing but found the concept of good and bad, heaven and hell creep in everywhere from hymns at school to girl guides; it was always there as a constant reminder that good was really the only option or you could end up in a pit of fire next to some ugly guy with horns on his head, forever and ever.
Looking back, I can see that as a child I struggled with the concept of heaven and hell. What I was being told did not add up but nor did the concept of ‘when we died we just died’ – end of story.
I was about 6 when I first saw a film with a skeleton of a dead person in it, and when I asked what it was, I remember being mortified when told this is what happens to us when we die; this felt even more ridiculous and shocking to me than the heaven and hell theory. Surely just to end, kaput, voila, could not be it? It felt so flat, so very pointless, I was suitably shocked but not convinced.
It was at secondary school when I was introduced to the concept of karma. Karma made sense to me; the idea that how we live directly affects others and if we are to cause harm, then ultimately that harm comes back to us.
What I did not understand with karma was that how come there were some people out there who had directly harmed others yet looked like they were living a perfect life, financially set up with all the trimmings and looked like they had it all and for some good people life looked really harsh? If karma existed I wanted to know how some people seemed to get away with it.
Also at school I was introduced to the concept of reincarnation: this immediately resonated with me, it was a great aha moment, my body breathed a sigh of “yes, of course I knew this to be true.” Yet this version of reincarnation had its flaws; the way it was taught made it all very mystical, random and a bit airy-fairy and the fact we could come back as an insect or random animal just did not cut it for me.
Leaving school I went to work with the elderly, many of whom were in the last stages of life, so naturally the question about death and life stayed with me. These questions remained unanswered until, that is, I met Serge Benhayon.
Meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine
Through the teachings on karma and reincarnation as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, it became clear I had been short-changed – the versions I had been given so far were a far cry from the intricate and precise science that I heard when attending Universal Medicine presentations.
I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.
“Could it be our karma to not consciously know about the fact of reincarnation simply because we have chosen to live irresponsibly and therefore have blocked seeing to what extent we are indeed energetically responsible?” (Teachings and Revelations, Serge Benhayon, page 356)
I now know karma is not what we get sent from some judgmental and resentful God. Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.
I’ve seen that we can choose to learn from what we experience or not, hence being shown it more clearly and profoundly at a later time.
We can choose to deal with our past choices and our karma or we can push them away or avoid them, so it may look like we are having a great time, great house, great career etc., but all the while our unloving choices are burying themselves deeper and deeper, waiting for a more intense outcome either in this lifetime or the next.
Likewise we can commit to dealing with our karma / past choices and watch as things come up and out to be exposed for us. Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.
The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance.
For me it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.
I have felt in my body, patterns that I know go deeper than just this life. In truth it is great to feel these patterns as by being more aware of them we are more able to deal with and break any unhealthy thought configurations or behaviours that are in fact eons old.
It is not a belief, fantasy, or science fiction but a deep knowing in my body that we have all been here many times before. This is why our hurts can sometimes seem so old and strong (as we could have been carrying them a long, long time), or a reason as to why we can’t seem to shake a certain behaviour that cannot be equated to this lifetime.
I have come to realise that each one of us is a collection of our previous lives lived and choices made. This also helps me to understand why things happen and that we have the opportunity to learn from this in terms of taking responsibility for our choices and the way we have lived, and are living.
Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived!
Knowing the truth of reincarnation allows us not only to take more responsibility for the way we are living in this life, but also to prepare for our next life and to be able to pass over in a more dignified way.
When we know we are coming back, we can assess what it is we want to let go of, reflect more responsibly on our life lived, and review how we would make different choices, given that we will be doing it again.
We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.
Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given. By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.

The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Reincarnation offers an opportunity to heal and evolve, ‘Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given. By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.’
Reincarnation is perpetual opportunity, a gift from God to have another go and another go and yet another, until such time that we don’t need any more goes because we are back to where we began, in the full knowing that we are and indeed have always been and will always be the consciousness of God.
When we are evolving, our appreciation is deepening and this deepening is the relationship we have with our divinity and intimacy that we have with others. Being intimate is not sexual but is letting people in, then appreciation and intimacy are like twin sisters, you can-not have one without the other; evolution is guarantied.
If people go to heaven or hell what then? What’s next?
“By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.” Reincarnation offers the opportunity and responsibility of evolution for everyone.
Responsibility for how we live is paramount, ‘I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.’
Absolutely agree, it’s a blessing and a truly loving support for us to evolve back to the love we are in essence, not about punishment, revenge or condemnation.
I think it’s really important in life to keep discerning what we are presented with, as in not overriding or ignoring what we feel if something doesn’t feel right, like you share with being presented with the concept of heaven and hell, or end of life just being a dead end, and to keep being open to seeing what truly does resonate with us.
Understanding the truth of reincarnation gives purpose to and for life that is otherwise is missing.
“Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given” – absolutely. Reincarnation is a science. It is much wiser to embrace the true love that is reincarnation than to pretend we only have one life and some are just born lucky.
True hell is the one that we do not realise we are in. At least if we can see we are in hell, we will want to get out of it as fast as we can.
Serge Benhayon’s quote makes sense – it is very convenient to not have be able to see or take responsibility for the way we have lived so the majority of us go what a whole lot of nonsense reincarnation is. I played that game for quite some lives, but deep deep down couldn’t ignore what was the truth and how I could feel and knew that reincarnation was exactly the basis of our immortal beings. It feels really amazing to live in a way that is taking this level of responsibility seriously, and knowing the impact that my every choice matters. Everything matters.
Just imagine how the world would change if, from young we were raised to know the truth of reincarnation and that how we live this life will impact on our next, and not only that, how we live in every moment also affects everyone else on this planet. It would certainly bring a deep sense of responsibility to every choice we make, so much so that it will become our natural lived way, not something we have to think about. I like the sound of this world.
How we live in every moment has a knock on effect with ourselves, and those around us, ‘how we live in every moment also affects everyone else on this planet.’
I know that I have had several previous lives only from living this life and feeling deep connections with people and place where it all feels so familiar and like you were with them or in that place like yesterday.
It is interesting that reincarnation is a topic where people can have very differing views, for me it makes perfect sense that reincarnation exists and that it offers us an opportunity to evolve in this life as preparation for our next life, a constant unfolding process that asks us to be responsible and to commit to life in full.
I agree Anonymous regarding the growth reincarnation offers. It also takes our relationships with ourselves and one another much deeper. It strips everything back to the quality of energy and cycles we choose to live in and arise ourselves from (or bury ourselves deeper in).
Reincarnation offers us the opportunity to evolve and return to who we are in truth.
‘Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside’ a gem, and a reminder for all of us that it’s about coming back to truth and not improving our lives to have a better version of the life we live especially when it’s not true. We are forever offered another chance and karma is the most loving thing for all of us a way that says you are love, and you are forever given another opportunity to live and be more of that love. Thank you to Universal Medicine for bringing back a true understanding to karma, love and responsibility, a gift for all of humanity.
Heaven and hell is an odd concept, like Santa only giving toys to ‘good’ children. Firstly, what sort of loving God would discriminate like that? That sounds more like punishment and judgment than unconditional love. Secondly, surely there is a universal system where we can make mistakes, learn from them, have the opportunity to correct them and then support those who are still making the same mistakes that we once did. I like that we get 2nd, 3rd, 4th…. shots at being divinely loving and living in harmony with each other.
We are definitely being offered every opportunity to learn to live in a very loving and harmonious way, not just with ourselves but with each other. And I love the concept there are no mistakes, simply the opportunity to learn and to begin to live in a way that is true. The way we live is no random event as it all has a purpose and consequences, and of course those consequences are from the choices we make and are 100% our responsibility.
The concept of Heaven and Hell is not in line with the truth, it’s a scaremongering tactic, used since the beginning of time to make sure people ‘tow the line’ and don’t venture towards the truth. And that’s the purpose of beliefs really, to keep people hooked into behaving in ways that are not true. No beliefs are true and so when we engage with them we are actively participating in the illusion, which is exactly what the creators of beliefs want.
The mere image of Hell is a major setup. People expect the worst and find themselves in the ‘attractive’ Astral Plane and have the feeling that they have avoided Hell while in truth this is where they are.
We can conveniently ignore karma or pretend that it does not happen, but all the while it is a part of the science of life and energy that we live in. And so once we choose to truly look and see, then we can allow ourselves to work with it and recieve the blessing and the healing on offer.
Karma is the ultimate form of responsibility that offers us growth. Without this we would not be called to accounts and nor would we recieve the blessings that abound. Karma is not bad nor a punishment, it is simply energy returning to the rightful instigator – based upon our movements.
Responsibility is very much needed for us human beings! Thank you Universal Medicine for bringing back the truth of karma, love and responsibility,
My feeling is that we would simply get a numb bum, so this scares the hell out of me as where is the purpose in sitting “around with angels playing harps.” Could it be that both options of heaven and hell as is presented in modern day religious teachings are so illusory that we will not look closely into what True Religion is all about? So it seems a set up to bring us all to the brink of illusion and keep us there for fear of not knowing which way to turn, then when we are convinced we have the ‘goods’ the other-side is laughing at our perceived miss-fortune. Then where the Truth lies is up to us all to find at our own speed and for most we start with at least being gentle on our path of return to True Religion.
‘ We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.’ Its a great service we can do for those who are in the dying process if we support them to complete whatever they feel is left undone, especially in relationships where many want to let go of old grievances and long held secrets.
Anonymous I laughed at your young interpretation of heaven and hell, because it reminded me of my own thoughts of heaven and hell when I was younger too. I always felt that there was a great deal more about life that I felt, as if I already had gone through the process and it wasn’t until I came across Serge Benhayon that it all started to fall into place, that I had indeed had many more lives than the one I am currently living, which builds the foundation for the next life to be lived.
The fact that we have indeed had many lives makes sense of much in our present life, ‘Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived!’
Great blog Anonymous – hanging out on fluffy clouds and harps never made any sense to me. I love the aspects you have shared about re-incarnation and karma and the richness of awareness of the true Science of this as delivered by Serge Benhayon of Universal Medicine.
‘By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.’
“These questions remained unanswered until, that is, I met Serge Benhayon.” Hearing and feeling the truth of reincarnation from presentations by Serge Benhayon is one of so many truths that just make sense.
What Serge Benhayon shares is always a truth that makes sense.
Reincarnation is a great leveller as it shows us what we have been up to and what we have and have not taken responsibility for. The fact that we cannot remember our past lives is telling in itself, especially about the lack of responsibility we have had towards our wayward choices.
“Could it be our karma to not consciously know about the fact of reincarnation simply because we have chosen to live irresponsibly and therefore have blocked seeing to what extent we are indeed energetically responsible?” (Teachings and Revelations, Serge Benhayon, page 356)’ Wow! What a revelation. We have created the situation where we can’t remember the fact of reincarnation and then deny that it exists. WE have based our ‘knowing’ on the lie we have created, not on reconnecting back to our source and truth.
I sat on the reincarnation fence for quite a while but there were always some key points that kept me leaning on the yes side. I mean when a baby is born and you look at them, and you know that they are ‘newly born’ in this life, but you also know they have been around before, like an ‘old soul’. Also I have been some places and met some people for the first time and there is a deep knowing in my body that I have been there before, or we have met before – even though technically I have not.
But like you, the stories out there around reincarnation did not really ring true. Until I came across Universal Medicine and it made so much sense. We do go around and around and have lived many lives, and to me, how we live in one, does have an effect on how we live in another.
Beautifully shared Sarah, and I too agree about the fact of re-incarnation in terms of the familiarity that we feel with some people though we have never met them, and also about how everything we do in this life till the very last moment is something that will affect us in our next life.
How we live, and are in this life, directly affects our next life, ‘ it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.’
‘Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived’ Profound and very wise.
‘We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.’ Thank you Anonymous, a great reminder of the hugeness we are and come from.
” others that were good to fluffy clouds, to kind of um, well… sit around with angels playing harps. Even though I was quite scared of the hell option I remember feeling heaven felt a bit boring, a bit mundane and a bit surreal. ”
Yes, this never made sense to me, why would God go to all that effort and then send us to hell , makes no sense.
‘By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.’ Beautifully summed up Anonymous, I always struggled with feelings of ‘Is this it?’ and things not making sense but as soon as I was introduced to the true meaning of reincarnation my body expanded and I could feel a depth of truth which I have been focussing on and committing to clearing all the baggage that I have carried through many lives so that I will leave this life lighter and ready for whatever way my service is needed in the next life.
It is the responsibility that is highlighted here in this article that resonates deeply with me today. From my own experience, embracing responsibility creates a firm solid foundation for my life, where once I stood upon what I thought was true, I now stand firm with the only truth, that everything is a choice for me to make, and being responsible with these choices is the foundation for choosing again, with responsibility the next choice that presents.
Thank you for your beautiful blog Anonymous. Reincarnation is indeed a great blessing for humankind – an amazing opportunity to learn to bring the truth that we are here on earth and eventually extract ourselves from the big mess we have created. Reincarnation is a deeply wonderful healing opportunity.
Seeing that our patterns are far too ingrained and seemingly difficult to shift, reincarnation makes perfect sense. These patterns are older than just one life – as trying to shift, outwit or leave them behind provides ample proof for.
We are sold a lie about being ‘good’, especially in many Religions, I am sure we would have less illness and disease if we were taught from young to not be ‘good’ but rather live a true and joyful life.
Being anything other than who we truly are is a lie because who we all are is the truth and is a bountiful nough and so to be anything other than that isn’t true. Knowing this exposes the lie of being good for what it is, a spirit driven invention to stall our return to soul. Let’s pull the plug on being good and simply be ourselves.
I had similar questions when growing up like if God was all powerful why would God create ” Hell ” . I knew if I was God I would not create any ” Hell ”
“The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance.”
. This line is so true , it is us who create the ” Hell ” when we stray from the wholeness of the truth of who and what we are . When we stray from the order of the universe the order returns to order and we have to live the re-turn to order by bringing order to our personal disorder Karma and re-incarnation.
A cracker of a blog Anonymous on a topic most people want to avoid, and even this you have very simply and clearly explained why people have resistance to accepting reincarnation as a given…. and that where we find ourselves in life is because of all the choices we have made, not only in this life, but in those past lives too.
“Evolution is about truth” and saying yes to it is our opportunity to let go of those aged old patterns we have carried for lives avoiding the responsibility of living from the soul.
Yes it was wild wasn’t it … the images that we were fed from all angles…. Talk about fake news!!
Before encountering Universal Medicine, I had heard about karma and reincarnation and I believed in them both, but somehow I was pretty content with it being just down to luck – complete opposite to; “The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance” – which makes absolute sense of how and why things are the way they are, and we can learn to be more understanding of others and their choices, and that we are so much loved far beyond our comprehension.
Not everybody goes to the same place when they die. Heaven is never questioned as a possibility. Hell is the crucial one here. What if hell is not truly called hell?
What if what is said to happen there does not actually happen? What if there is no punishment after death more than our own self-condemnation to stay where we have said yes to?
“For me it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.” Yes I agree. This can clearly be seen when working with babies, as I do. They all have differing personalities that are visible from very early on. The tabula rasa (blank slate) theory would not seem to hold water here.
“I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.” However so many of us don’t want to accept this responsibility, and can live a life of decadence. We then wonder – and blame something outside of ourselves – when we get ill.
Karma as a loving parent is what I feel reading this piece today Anonymous, that we’re offered another moment to change and address our choices and it also changes how we can approach temptation, that it’s another time to look again at a pattern and see if it works for us and what we want to do about it. It offers us another choice to choose love or not.
“Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.” I have been offered recently a choice to respond differently and to clear many lifetime patterns of hiding and denial of myself, it is a pattern so strong and comfortable that I find myself falling back into. Now through the law of love, I have a choice to be responsible and clear this behaviour and live more of the true me, coming out of hiding.
I agree wholeheartedly, reincarnation is real, I have always known and it is not just a random and pick out of the hat and it will tell you if you are coming back as a spider, fly or cow kind?! I mean, really, who came up with that? It is very exact like you describe, it is a science. I have met people that I know that I have been with in other lives. I have been places that I have never been to this life, yet they have resonated deeply with me.
I am with you with how you describe reincarnation and its so empowering knowing what we are here to do, that our purpose is to keep moving through our patterns and ill ways until we are free and full and once this time comes, we can then help everyone else to heal, evolve and do the same, beautiful and purposeful.
We need to see reincarnation as a great opportunity to let go of behaviours and beliefs that don’t serve us, as you say Anonymous and open up to starting a new life free of these impediments. As I age I am more aware that there is still much for me to let go of. Thank you Anonymous for a great sharing.
I am very aware of the behaviours that I have that I’ve had for what feels like forever. I am also aware that I am desecrating the absolute unbridled opportunity of the moment by stamping it with one of my age old behaviours. It really is time Alexis to choose to be a portal for the consciousness of God and not block your portal with astral trash!
One of the great untruths is the battle for right and wrong. In this we do not discern the energy and when we are caught in trying to prove ourselves even if we are right, the energy we have gone into to prove or battle our point is an energy that is not founded in love and therefore is not the quality of truth.
To deny the truth of reincarnation, is to live void of the opportunity to truly live. Not just ‘get by’ in life, and ‘cross fingers’ one will get through… but to live from a foundation of knowing that we are far more than what appears in this seemingly 3-dimensional world alone.
When we honestly look beyond the appearances, we have the opportunity of understanding the deep reasons and origin of our circumstances in this life
We can indeed make our daily lives for ourselves and others ‘heaven or hell’ according to our choices once we accept that these choices all accumulate and we realise the level of responsibility we have with every thought that we have and every move we make.
What would life be about if there was just one life and no reincarnation? Just one chance to evolve ourselves and humanity! An impossible task.
I remember as a kid when I learnt that the sun is a star and that one day it will no longer exist. What that meant for the Earth and us on it was something that caused me a lot of distress. I was being presented such factual information and simply being told how it was. But it just didn’t make sense and my body had a huge reaction. I knew there was more than this existence but it was as though I found myself in a box with no way out. Looking back I find it interesting as we all know the truth. We may get side swiped and go off track, but deep within truth always resonates deeply.
Love what you share here Anonymous, ” I’ve seen that we can choose to learn from what we experience or not hence being shown it more clearly and profoundly at a later time”. This also shows us the responsibility we have to take in what decisions we make in every part of our lives.

‘I could not understand either, that if God was love, why would he send some people to hell to rot for eternity, and others that were good to fluffy clouds, to kind of um, well… sit around with angels playing harps. Even though I was quite scared of the hell option I remember feeling heaven felt a bit boring, a bit mundane and a bit surreal.’ It is amazing Anonymous how these images of God are circulating all around the ether for the human race to tap into. How come we all knew these same stories whether in the northern or southern hemisphere? Were they ever written down anywhere by any true teacher of wisdom? No they weren’t, so who made them up and why have we cottoned on to them and made them a reality? There has to be some source which is perpetrating these ridiculous stories to keep us from knowing the truth.
So true Anonymous, the fact of reincarnation is not a belief or a wish for it to be true, it is a deep knowing of a whole science whereby life makes complete sense.
This sentence completely wipes out any judgement of another, or of ourselves. It instead gives us the grace to understand and rechoose how we “do it this time”.
“Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived!”
‘We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next’. Very true Anonymous. This came home to me recently, when clearing my flat of excess and clutter became an opportunity to ‘leave behind all that is not true’ and choose simplicity over complexity.
I agree – hell is what we create, and the worst one is the one that we think is heaven.
It is interesting how the more exhausted we as a society become, the more appealing the images of heaven are – as they depict a place of rest away from the intensities of modern life. And I wonder if is this part of the reason why media technology has become so all-consuming today, because it provides us with the escape that certain religious beliefs have been offering and promising for centuries with little respite for those of us who chose to follow those beliefs only to find that they have been quite simply unattainable all this time.
For me, reincarnation is a fact and we are in a continuous cycle of life and death, life in a body and death in the spiritual form and is actually our karma because of us making the choice to experiment with this physical life in the human form. A way of being that only exists because of our own creation, a creation that actually does not fit into the greater plan we are part of as it’s in disconnection with our true source which is love or God, our father.
Exactly Anonymous, karma and reincarnation when understood are empowering in the truest sense of that word. They allow us to take responsibility for what and how we have lived to this point. We do not in fact ‘get away’ with anything, and yet there’s not an ounce of retribution or punishment either. It is the highest form of love actually… though we seldom see it that way when things come around in a way we do not like or expect.
Karma is not a vengeful god passing judgment on us, for that omits our responsibility. Karma is merely the energy we have created returning to us and it is not just about the big obvious things, it is alive in every decision that we make.
It is a huge responsibility and equally hugely empowering – the possibility that how, what and where we are in this life is entirely the result of choices made not just in this life, but in all our previous incarnations – and from this point we get to see how we live impacts on us and all others equally also.
It seemed to me also growing up that hell was exactly what the world had created for itself – and that so many were living in their own private hell – as the rising rates of drug addiction, suicide and violence would seem to indicate. So it makes sense that the only way to go is see beyond the play out of these shadows to re-know the truth of who we are and the light of which we are from.
Anonymous I knew as a teenager that reincarnation was real and I understood and was aware of some of my previous lives. It just made sense to me and I understood this from my own inner self. I always knew reincarnation was a truth so when I heard people say they didn’t believe in it I never felt to convince them because I knew regardless of what we believe the truth just is.
Could it be the focus on hell or heaven is to keep us guessing about divinity? Those who are living outside of heaven feel that they have the right to rule as a king of all they survey and this could be considered as creating your own reality when all it does is create separation, which is hell? So hell exists for those who choice to live in separation from the divinity that is available freely for all? Then heaven exits through connection to a oneness and equality that shares the divine reflection with all humanity.
‘Surely just to end, kaput, voila, could not be it? It felt so flat, so very pointless, I was suitably shocked but not convinced.’ Could this be a way of creating more confusion by putting a focus on a finite point when we die? So at this stage we have three scenarios heaven and reincarnation, hell and damnation, kaput or dying / the end? So what came first the chicken or the egg, and applying the rule of simplicity, which one creates the least complication? Anonymous the conundrums you bring up about death, dying / died, mortality, expiring, ending, perishing, terminating, deceased, departed, demise, loss, kaput and viola all seem to create complications around death, when passing over / passed-over seems to create simplicity and an openness to return or the possibility of reincarnation. Seeing all religions have some form of after life this even opens up a deeper conversation on reincarnation!
” In truth it is great to feel these patterns as by being more aware of them we are more able to deal with and break any unhealthy thought configurations or behaviours that are in fact eons old.” We can forget how old these patterns really are. What a blessing to finally have the tools to break out of them and leave them behind, once and for all. This feels liberating. Reincarnation feels liberating.
When I was young I found it hard to contemplate that there was heaven and hell because it meant people would be separated on how they were in life I.e if you were good you went to heaven and if you were bad you went to hell. This never really felt true for me so to know that we live life in cycles and that all our past choices and movements play a role in our next life cycle, making every choice a marker for how we are living.
The concept of heaven and hell never gelled well with me either, especially the sadistic image of God as someone who inflicts major pain because he is displeased with someone. Nor did the notion of someone randomly or deliberately coming back as a worm. Yet I have lived all my life seeing the end of a day and the beginning of a day in day out and witnessing that there are issues, lessons and learnings unfold through this process. So it makes absolute sense that a similar cycle takes place across our lives.
“The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance.” This is such a significant truth, that down to our tiniest particles we are a part of this entire magical, wondrous universe. So it simply doesn’t add up that we live and we die, end of story. Our lives have a ‘true’ and deep meaning and purpose that match the universal constellation whether we understand or agree with this, it’s still happening.
There are many unanswered questions in life – about the so called randomness of its events and its often cruel nature. Why is one child born to poverty, and another not? Many religions over time, especially those that espouse the concept of one life, write such things off as a mystery of God. However, if you were to consider reincarnation, and the possibility of karma, then it is very easy to make sense of such happenings. This is how true theosophy should be contemplated. If we were to look at religion in this philisophical way, rather than aligning ourselves to a set of dogmatic principles for the sake of faith, then we would find that even mainstream religion would progress in time, as would our understanding of life – provided of course that such ponderings were not just undertaken as a cerebral exercise, but were actually incorporated into the way we live as a means of testing their validity. Of course, concepts such as reincarnation cannot be tested in this way. That is understandable. However, what I do put to the world is that the essence of God can be felt and experienced by way of right living. Our experience of religion does not need be constrained to the cerebral ponderings of the mind. For the essence of God, esoterically referred to as fire, can be felt in the body ,and with the embodiement of that essence comes a form of intelligence that allows the veil of ignorance to be lifted, and that enables us to contemplate and live life from a completely different understanding.
Thank you Anonymous you have very clearly and beautifully explained the truth of re-incarnation in this line ‘ it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.’
The word karma has been randomly used by religions and the Spiritual New Age, offering the possibility that we come back, but falling far short of the fact that the we come back to heal our unloving choices and our irresponsible ways we have lived in each life. There were two things that I knew in my life and that I did not need to go to church to have confirmed, and that was 1) God existed and was very real and 2) that karma was a very plausible reason for why re-incarnation existed. What I never realised until the presentations with Serge Benhayon was the level of responsibility we needed to live and that every choice we make either harms or heals and has an effect not only on the person next to us but to the whole of humanity and to the Universe we live in, and this is something I am still learning and will continue to learn until the time I pass over.
‘I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science’. When truth is simply delivered it is felt in the body, although the mind may try and react or avoid the truth simply because we are not willing to take responsibility and be honest with ourselves that whatever we experience in life the bad as well as the good we have created it by our very own hand, including illness and disease.
The old heaven and hell debate, I know it well. As a child and growing up this way never really made sense. I was always concerned and most of the time assumed I would possibly end up in hell. Not for a minute did I see that I was ever heading for heaven. There was always so much catching up to do and let’s face it I wasn’t that great a person. I assumed very religious people and people that did really good things were certainties but who knew and in fact no one ever knew. This made it more confusing because there was no certainty either way, seemed like a lucky dip in a way and how did you confirm who went where? Then came along Serge Benhayon and bought all of this into line and made sense of all my schooling and upbringing. How did he do it? Consistently confirmed me as a Son of God, no different to everyone else and showed me heaven was always a mere breath away. Sound simple, easy perhaps, well in one way it is, always just a choice to align to an energy that can not but guarantee the result. This is The Way of The Livingness http://www.unimedliving.com/voice/about-the-audio-presentations/the-way-of-the-livingness-presentation.html
It is convenient for people to think they have a claim to heaven by association with a church as in “were going to Heaven & they’re going to Hell”. God does not play favorites. Like the proverbial prodigal son we are here to learn the errors of our choices so that we return to where we belong.
I can really relate to this Anonymous. Like you what I was taught about life and death did not ring true with the world that I observed around me. For me, I could not understand why something would ‘happen to me’ over and over. I was told that God moves in mysterious ways and encouraged to have faith because God knows what he is doing and he is orchestrating all our lives. I can see now that this attitude has no responsibility at all and why it did not make sense because the truth of karma and reincarnation was the “missing link”. When Serge Benhayon explains karma and reincarnation the pieces fit together, I understand my life, and I understand my family and others. God does not sit on a cloud and control our lives he has way too much love for that. He has created the perfect stage for us to feel and re live the consequences of our choices. So now when an issue recurs in my life, instead of ‘why is this happening to me’, its like groundhog day, I know it is a result of my past choices, and I am now given opportunity to learn from life and make a more loving choice.
The twisted reinterpretations of karma have robbed people of its true understanding and purpose – and we have willingly accepted this so as to not hear the call to responsibility and love and learning that it offers us in every moment.
Yes Annie, we have been robbed of the greatest treasure in humanity, the understanding of how the world works. Theft on such a grand scale only occurs because we are complicit in it. We have been robbed of honesty and truth because we gave up on them, and in giving it up we miss out on the glory and majesty of the universe and its cycles. We miss out on the sheer beauty that constellates all around us, and don’t appreciate the enormity of the love we are part of and belong to. We miss out on the capacity we have to love each other, and the responsibility to love ourselves. All so we can create pollution in an otherwise harmonious universe. Was it worth it? Did it bring us any joy? It seems to me the only way is to return.
‘The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance.’ Or rather that nothing gets left to chance… its that word responsibility that is cements it all together, that is the engine behind karma, and not just responsibility for now, but for everything in this life and our previous ones. Then things start to make sense.
If we do understand the reality of the cycles of life and death we are living in or not, it does not take away the fact that we do live in it as everything is so clearly presenting to us. Life is a continuous repetition of the same until we get it and can evolve to the next step, the next we have to learn in life.
You make such a bastardised and controversial term feel so simple and easy to understand from the point of view of responsibility. It makes so much sense and in truth whether we believe in it, feel it or want to know its truth, living responsibly should be the simple basics of life anyway for us all whether we get the karma of our choices or not! In fact the very need for us to have reincarnation and karma shows us already a level of arrogance and ignorance towards our choices and their consequences that most of us are simply not willing to feel and to deal with.
This article brings me to a moment I had today where I felt clearly the harm the simplest, seemingly normal, reaction of frustration is to my body, and to the person the frustration is directed at. A deep moment that has brought me to an awareness of myself and that which I have allowed to be my normal that is in fact not normal, but a long way away from my powerful loving essence.
I love this blog Anonymous, I felt very similarly to you throughout my childhood and early adult years. Not till hearing Serge Benhayon speak of reincarnation did my body give a resounding YES… and I have known it within me ever since. So much makes sense in the world with that understanding… that otherwise didn’t.
Karma is a universal law of love not a punishment for past deeds but an opportunity to learn from our choices and choose loving ones an understanding and a responsibility that everything we do, the way we live affect everyone.
The universe is so ordered and so intricate, so of course is the truth of reincarnation, that how we live affects how we come back, so obvious and yet as you tell Samanatha many of us have come across versions of reincarnation that do not honour the fullness of what it offers us, the possibility to bring harmony to how we’ve been and how we are, and this feels like a huge blessing from God for all of us.
The truth of reincarnation is so beautifully described here. Thank you Anonymous.
“Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.” Understanding the truth of reincarnation from Serge Benhayon dispelled the fog of futility of ‘We only have one life.’
Thank you Anonymous for a great sharing on Karma, it is indeed a law of love by which we get another chance to make different choices, and to learn from past choices thereby healing and clearing the what is not in our lives. Being in my seventies I am very much aware of my life coming to an end and how much light I want to bring forth in my next life; I welcome evolution for this purpose.
I love this simple and beautiful explanation of Karma, ‘the idea that how we live directly affects others and if we are to cause harm, then ultimately that harm comes back to us.’ No wonder some people turn a blind eye to Re-incarnation and Karma they prefer to live life irresponsibility and without a care for their actions and the harm they inflict on others. Knowing this truth changes everything, learning to live with this level of responsibility is a loving choice that brings much beauty, joy and deep wisdom.
Karma is often made out as a punishment but really it is the opportunity offered to us again and again to set things right, which makes sense if we consider that God is love and that we are held in his love.
This is so true ‘I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices.’ This reminded me of the cartoons that had an angel at one shoulder and a little devil at the other ‘it was always there as a constant reminder that good was really the only option or you could end up in a pit of fire next to some ugly guy with horns on his head, forever and ever.’ What if instead of heaven and hell this was seen as either the Soul or spirit, the Soul being inline with the divine and the spirit wanting to create what ‘it’ wants in separation. It is great when in life we have something reflected to us that we know within is true ‘Also at school I was introduced to the concept of reincarnation: this immediately resonated with me, it was a great aha moment, my body breathed a sigh of “yes, of course I knew this to be true.” Which is why I deeply appreciate Serge Benhayon, the Benhayon family and Universal Medicine for all they bring in what they teach and present and what they live reflecting to others not only the absolute truth but another way to live than what we are currently living in the world. Great call in discussing the choices we make and the quality in which we live has an affect on our next life.
The beginning of this blog makes me smile as it reminds me of those paintings by Hieronymus Bosch depicting heaven and hell – both of which just seemed to be different versions of a dreadful place that I could not understand nor wanted to be in. However, what I have come to understand, is that we actually create our future by how we live now. So, we are the masters of our own destiny and with this comes great responsibility, but also great joy.
“the concept of good and bad, heaven and hell ” is control. The church used it in a way, and continue to do so today to create the image that we are not good enough.
I love the way you have expressed this, it was not until I met Serge Benhayon that I learnt to understand how every choice we make has an impact on our next choice, not only in this lifetime, but how those choices have a bearing on our next life, as have our passed choices been responsible for this lifetime. And I understand now why taking responsibility for our choices really matters.
I agree Anonymous, it makes perfect sense, ‘that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.’ This fact really needs to be more widely known and accepted.
When I was growing up religion and heaven and hell etc did not make sense to me either. It has been a grace to meet Serge Benhayon and what he presents about religion and reincarnation is absolutely worth more than I could express on earth. It simply makes sense and brings a purpose and truth to life that I always felt I was searching for as I felt it deep down to be this way.
Heaven, hell, good, bad, right, wrong, happy, nice – none of these are true, none of these are of love – they are all imposed and controlling ideals and beliefs and therefore irresponsible however well or attractively they may be dressed.
“Knowing the truth of reincarnation allows us not only to take more responsibility for the way we are living in this life, but also to prepare for our next life and to be able to pass over in a more dignified way.” I absolutely agree, and for me it has also removed any skerrick of fear for the end of my life. I have no fear of that so called ‘burning in hell’, or of coming back as an insect, and am not sure that I ever really believed any of those explanations that the various religions have presented as truth. It is up to me to take responsibility for how I am living until the day I pass over, and prepare myself for the life to come thereafter. This is such a beautiful understanding of the cycles of our lives, returning over and over until we understand the truth and are living in accord with it. Now this really makes sense.
“I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.”This is such a great realisation, bringing in the great responsibility that we all have in the quality in which we live and pass over means it all make sense to me now. I did not have an overly religious upbringing, and my sense of what was reincarnation was coloured by the stories that I heard of karma and that how our life was was just due to karma, as if it was a random thing that we had no control over. Such as for example, “oh well, it is just how my karma is that I am so poor, so this is my place in the world”, as if we have absolutely no say in it. I had never before I met Serge Benhayon and attended Universal Medicine presentations, ever realised the great responsibility we actually hold that affects the karma that controls so much in our past, present and future lives. Since I have learned of this, then life makes so much more sense to me, and I love it now, learning to take responsibility for how I am living, connected deeply to myself to know what is the right way to be living. This is such a beautiful understanding and can lead to such a joyful life. It is all up to us and our choices and we can change our karma.
“We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next”.
We can indeed Anonymous and by virtue of free will the choice and responsibility is always ours.
The quality of the choices we make and live today are what we are bringing toward us, for all of us. This does call for a level of responsibility in how we choose to live.
Anonymous, the whole ‘secret’ to life is held in your statement: ‘I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices’. How we live, how we love, is what creates our heaven or our hell on earth. We can choose to be unloving and create hell for ourselves and others or we can choose to align to love and live that way, which brings heaven to earth, to quote a well known prayer… ‘On earth as it is in heaven’.
What you present Anonymous regarding everyone we meet reflecting the choices of not only this life but all their lives is fascinating and points to a depth we don’t ordinarily go to. It also allows us to develop an understanding of ourselves and others and where we’re at. Not that we can then use our unresolved past or current life dilemmas as excuses for our behaviours – that would be adding to the irresponsibility – but we can bring a new awareness to our lives and a sense of our eternal nature and universality.
Reincarnation eliminates the notion of the so-called randomness of life. As you point out Anonymous it is an intricate, precise and ordered science. This means there is no such thing as luck, accident or chance.
Responsibility is the missing link not only in terms of reincarnation but in our understanding of our lives in general. Whether you choose to understand life in terms of reincarnation or not, responsibility – for ourselves, and for the all – is there to be chosen. We just choose to ignore it because, well, it’s all a bit too hard. We prefer to remain comfortable rather than responsible… which is why so many don’t want to know about reincarnation.
I find it interesting the bits that often get left out of the reincarnation story and how it’s debased of it’s true meaning without responsibility, and how we can ignore our part in it with this. How I come back is determined by how I live now, and yes there is responsibility in that but huge power too in knowing we can choose.
Learning about the precise and beautiful science of reincarnation was life altering … for our life and how we choose to live it is purely our responsibility …. It is actually deeply empowering to know there is no one to blame when our choices are reflected back to us to show us what we have chosen and as such provide us with an opportunity to learn from them and evolve.
Reincarnation just said in another way is responsibility, there is a lot to be said about how we are living, what if we could remember, life would be very different, we would live life ‘very’ ‘very’ differently, knowing that what we were building, living and leaving behind, we were going to come right back to it. It would change completely the way we did things, how we did them and the quality they were done in.
When you introduce reincarnation into the world of behavioural studies it makes so much more sense.
Yes agreed Matts, without it, so much does not make sense. Another area it made sense to me was with some illness and disease, particularly with babies and small children contracting nasty cancers, or being born with disabilities etc. It’s not a popular understanding, but to me, it makes these things make sense. Not as retribution or punishment as karma is often portrayed to be, but as a balancing of what has been lived previously. A new life and body does not exempt the being that runs the body from the responsibility of past choices.
It certainly does Matts. Well said.
“Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing”.
Thank you Anonymous for deepening my understanding of Karma and cause and effect. Taking responsibility for our choices is the key, for if we do not round and around we go!
A brilliant understanding of how our choices affect all we are future, past and present and it is our responsibility. No passing the buck or blame to God, or anyone else for that matter. Working in aged care I wonder what truly keeps people’s physical bodies going, it’s likely there are a few possibilities. One I ponder on is it an innate fear they have of gong to ‘hell’, that is afraid of what is beyond this life. And if this is the case how do they adopt such an ingrained belief that there is a good or bad and not simply the omnipresence of god’s love to be felt?
I have to agree, I have always felt from early childhood, that the whole concept of ‘hell’ just did not make sense. To me hell was the kind of world we were creating for ourselves here and now, the struggle and misery of drug and alcohol addiction, the power and corruption that has become entrenched in every corner of the world, a place where the ruthlessness and cruelty hold sway and people live lives in silent despair, seeming powerless to these forces. Through the presentations of Serge Benhayon which make complete sense to me of the world and why it is how it is, I have learned how we can be with it differently, to not get affected but stay true to ourselves – enormously empowering.
For me, listening to Serge Benhayon present on Karma and how it really works helped me make sense of the world. I had exactly the same questions as you Anonymous about how can someone seemingly get away with so much ill behaviour when another cant? Understanding that we are reincarnated and Karma doesn’t necessarily play out in this life was a huge moment for me when the pieces of the jigsaw finally came together.
I know that sense of patterns that are ages old, I have been aware of them on a subconscious level all of my life. It is only now though, since listening to Serge present that I am able to bring true understanding to them and with this new found awareness I’m able to make inroads into changing those patterns which is more than just a welcome relief.
‘Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.’ This is a great reminder thank you!
Reincarnation is something you either align to or learn about as one gets older. I personally have always known that it was real and the truth. I felt that from a very young age. I would encounter the odd person who would 100% say they don’t believe in it, I would simply respond, that is your understanding, I feel differently. There is always responsibility attached to reincarnation, something that mankind is yet to take full ownership for.
Thank you Anonymous for writing about reincarnation and karma, as it is a topic that throws up various beliefs and ideas, all of which simply create confusion and mysticism about what is actually a very beautiful science. Serge Benhayon shares the topic with great simplicity which you can’t help but feel, ‘yes, that makes total sense’ and also makes one take notice of the responsibility we have in life. “…By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve…”
I love reading this blog Anonymous with much deep wisdom to reflect upon throughout. There are many great lines that stood out for me today I felt to highlight this one ‘Knowing the truth of reincarnation allows us not only to take more responsibility for the way we are living in this life, but also to prepare for our next life and to be able to pass over in a more dignified way.’ – Such a simple and very true explanation of Re-incarnation for anyone to understand.
Wow there is so much in this blog – it almost dazzles me! What stood out for me is all the ideals and beliefs we have around heaven and hell, karma and reincarnation which leave us short of knowing the truth about them. As you say: “When we know we are coming back, we can assess what it is we want to let go of, reflect more responsibly on our life lived, and review how we would make different choices, given that we will be doing it again.” this simply brings a value and depth to the lives we live that is very healing and empowering. When accepted, it presents us the choice to live in a way that is far more joyful and purposeful than we may have done before, thinking it was just one life for us to enjoy without being responsible for the results.
This is pure gold Anonymous! ‘I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.’ Because of the fact that ‘everything is energy’ (as formularised by Einstein) and ‘everything is because of energy’ it is clear that reincarnation and karma are an exact science . . . a loving law to help us on our way back home to a Soul-full life.
When I began to awaken to the fact of reincarnation and began to have a sense of a couple of past lives, I wondered why I hadn’t remembered this before. Serge Benhayon asks a very pertinent question: “Could it be our karma to not consciously know about the fact of reincarnation simply because we have chosen to live irresponsibly and therefore have blocked seeing to what extent we are indeed energetically responsible?” (Teachings and Revelations, Serge Benhayon, page 356) This makes so much sense.
It is so interesting Anonymous that you were given a ‘version’ of reincarnation’ and a ‘version’ of karma that made you feel short-changed. All the way along you, like all of us, knew the truth, somehow knew that while the idea of reincarnation and karma made sense and resonated, the version you were being presented with was not the whole truth. This is so with all of life as the world knows and lives it – it is not the ‘real thing’ but a ‘version’ that has been reduced, subverted and distorted. Thank heavens we are able to voice this now.
what you have shared about reincarnation and the presentation of it by Serge Benhayon brings back the greater significance and essential quality of understanding the whole picture.. and it keeps making more and more sense, the more it reveals the beauty and enormous love that it offers to us.
Reincarnation as a law of love and not a punishment at all, that makes so much sense – after all, we make choices all the time and the responsibility is entirely ours.
Yes a great distinction Gabriele, to understand it as a law of responsibility rather than retribution brings a whole different light to it. And the idea that if you mess up, you come back as a cockroach is just plain ridiculous… as ridiculous as Heaven and Hell in the way they are depicted in organised religions.
“someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices” – this is such an apt sentence, that in life we have full control over how we experience life to be – rather than putting all our effort into having the perfect after life, how about making our lives here and now the focus.
It is so interesting the way this image of heaven as angels playing harps in a vast desert-like eternity of clouds has dominated our consciousness as a race. It is an image that brings a feeling of boringness, of goody-goody, of pointlessness, of never-ending uselessness. How did this image get substituted for the amazing, stupendous, exquisite, co-creative, joyful, living, purposeful Heaven that we know is the true state of being?
I love the way you have voiced and exposed these images of heaven and hell Anonymous – because, as corny as they are, they still hold quite a sway over the minds of humanity: ‘ I could not understand either, that if God was love, why would he send some people to hell to rot for eternity, and others that were good to fluffy clouds, to kind of um, well… sit around with angels playing harps. Even though I was quite scared of the hell option I remember feeling heaven felt a bit boring, a bit mundane and a bit surreal.’
Hi Anonymous, thank you for sharing your understanding of life. I loved your comment – ‘I have felt in my body, patterns that I know go deeper than just this life’ – this supports us all in understanding what may be going on within us and it also prompts a new level of responsibility as we live this current life and the quality of the choices we make. This blog brings a moment of healing, thank you.
I love what you have presented here Anonymous, and the healing presented for all in understanding more about reincarnation and karma and the amazing opportunities we are presented everyday to choose the quality of our next life. Thank you!
I went to a catholic school and was raised in a catholic family, going got church on Sundays as well as during school. I remember things not making sense and having trouble dealing with what I was being told at school about God and Jesus etc. It just didn’t add up and yet I watched people around me just go with it. I remember the parish priest becoming angry regularly in classrooms when many children would ask what was thought to be a simple question about things not making sense. You were frowned upon and made an example of, called names like sinner etc. Other children would then tease you and you would feel outcast and so then fearful to ever ask a question like that again. I would ask my parents and while they didn’t get angry they showed me also that they didn’t understand but it was better to just go along with things. It was a really strange environment to grow up in because it seemed most if not all realised something was a miss but no one was ready to lead the conversation. No one until Serge Benhayon who just confirmed what I had already seen long ago, a ‘life’ that didn’t make sense. Universal Medicine continues this great work, supporting people to see clearer what they have already felt.
Thank you Anonymous and this always made sense, “the idea that how we live directly affects others and if we are to cause harm, then ultimately that harm comes back to us.” The fact that whatever we do and the way we do it comes back at some point to visit us. This is a common fact of the world and there are many saying that allude to this very thing. But yet we don’t believe in reincarnation? Which is the bigger brother to what we have just said. In other words how you live now effects how you are going to live tomorrow and if you make this bigger then it all makes sense. I remember being confused growing up with so much not making sense to what I was seeing, Serge Benhayon put all the pieces together by not giving me something new but more straightening out what I already knew.
Yes I can related to what you have shared around the concept of why would some people go to heaven and others go to hell. When I was growing up, in a very basic sense it did, in that if you murdered someone you would go to hell, versus if you were a good person and helped people you would go to heaven. When I grew up I realised and felt there was so much more going on in the universe than just what I could see and touch. I just had an inner knowing that I’d been here before and that there wasn’t ‘really’ this concept of we are born, we live, we die and that’s it. That there is more to this heaven concept also. I now understand just how much of a science reincarnation is and how special it is to have more awareness around how I live, that this impacts on me, everyone around me and how I will live in the future.
It is quite magnificent when you consider the divine intelligence, love and order that is taking place in our universe, on our planet and within our bodies. The laws of karma and reincarnation are a part of our evolution and ever calling us back to oneness.
Imagine how different our world would be if we lived with the awareness and responsibility that we do not leave anything behind when we die we actually meet it again on our return?
“Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.” I love this line Anonymous. Without allowing ourselves to ‘see’ or read the full situation we can easily be deluded.
Yes, I too was indoctrinated by many lies in relation to God, reincarnation and karma. I too have rediscovered the Truth through the teachings and presentations of Serge Benhayon. I know what Serge Benhayon presents is true as it is completely in accordance with the truth that is already held and known in my body. When I hear Serge present it is like hearing the voice that is inside me speaking and suddenly everything makes sense and falls into place. All the other nonsense out there always had me perplexed just as you have described and never made any sense to me.
Further to the above, a couple of things that I have re-discovered through the presentations of Universal Medicine that make absolute sense to me are: 1) Karma is about LOVE and it is not some form of punishment. It is there to bring us back to ourselves and 2) Karma relates to our actions whilst Akasha is another re-balancing law that relates to our intentions. Clearly we are fully responsible both for our actions and our intentions.
The words karma and reincarnation were hardly ever discussed in my childhood. I remember reincarnation was brought up after a service in chapel but it was it was never taken seriously. When Serge Benhayon presented a workshop on Reincarnation I came alive. At last here was someone talking about karma and reincarnation as a matter of fact and not a big deal. Ever since that presentation I have realized I was missing these words and their true meaning in my life as I knew and have always known that I have had many lives before and that karma made absolute sense.
When we look at the teachings of the church I have to agree that they feel very one dimensional and flat. To believe that we only get one life, one shot at it seems very unfair especially considering that we are not all born equal. When we introduce the concept of reincarnation as a loving opportunity to evolve it supports in the understanding of why we are not all born equal. Of course planet Earth is a school in which we are learning to return to love and if it is our karma to understand poverty or wealth then this is all part of our unfolding, just as much as it is to clear choices through illness and disease. There is clearly purpose in this. To stop navel gazing and start to realise the greater divine plan supports with joy in the understanding of the beauty of how relationships and things are constellated. We are supported all of the time even if we don’t realise it or want to realise it. To open up to this is life changing.
To know and learn that the whole universe is an ‘intricate and precise science’ and that here on planet Earth we are undoubtedly and inescapably part of the whole supports with a framework in which to live life. To deny the bigger picture in our arrogance that we are the only life forms in among the trillions of planets that abound is actually quite shocking when I reflect on it. As you say reincarnation makes sense! If we are the densest and most separated of all then it makes sense that we are given the opportunity to evolve out of our choices as we endlessly circle the sun. Being given the opportunity to make new choices each time we pass the same marker is a true blessing and one that I am in full appreciation of. No matter how many times I muck up or don’t get something I will be continually offered the opportunity to get it and when I do I will then be given more opportunities to deepen my awareness and love.
Now this is so true and way way more important to consider then what happens after death. “I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices.”
Hearing Serge Benhayon present on reincarnation filled all the ‘missing links’ I had about it and karma. It makes complete sense, gives purpose and reason to life that is caring and responsible for oneself and others. Once accepted by society as the norm what a different world we will have.
Hello Anonymous, what you write makes sense and equally the teachings of Serge Benhayon are the same. I felt short changed by explanations and examples of many things growing up and Serge Benhayon made sense to these and also has supported the ongoing day to day living of them. We can get caught in how something looks but as you say, “Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.” This is a great blog for understanding the ‘responsibility of life’ and how to support ourselves in each moment that inevitably leads to the next just like our lives.
Reincarnation has always, (since becoming aware of it) , felt absolutely true and having it backed up by Serge Benhayon in his teachings, felt to me the truth. Why would we be put here on this earth for one lifetime to become a perfect human being if there are those on this earth that have not heard of God and the fact that we are all one in the love of God..
Without an understanding and openness to re-incarnation there is not real understanding of life.
I love want you have written here Anonymous: ‘Likewise we can commit to dealing with our karma / past choices and watch as things come up and out to be exposed for us. Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.’ To commit to dealing with and embracing one’s karma, understanding the root causes of what we are presented with, and understanding that karma is a loving law to shake us into true choices, is a huge step in the right direction towards reclaiming our Sonship here on earth.
.
Reincarnation makes so much sense. And yet,as you say Anonymous, there are many versions of what reincarnation is. Some see it as a punishing law, with a dictatorial God who gives his pupils detention. however, when seen and known for what it truly is, as a law of true Love, reincarnation really makes sense of life and its purpose, which brings us back to living as the sons of God we are.
The funny things about reincarnation as Serge Benhayon has shared many times is that it happens whether you believe in it or not!
It is great you bring up this discussion Anonymous as we have all been indoctrinated with so many lies and myths. You write: “For me it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.” – that is so true and it actually points to the fact that we really only have ONE life – yes we might change bodies, names and other such details – but it is one life. The idea that we have different lives and are not responsible for every single thought, action and intention during all these apparent comings and goings is pure irresponsibility. We are one spirit on a journey of return, learning through all these incarnations.
“I’ve seen that we can choose to learn from what we experience or not, hence being shown it more clearly and profoundly at a later time.” A great reminder to fully embrace each and every moment so evolution can take us to the next experience without the repeat.
Great question – if God is love why does he send some people to heaven and others to hell? If this is believed in then love is not fully understood.
This sums it up well – “I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices.” Why do we worry or wonder so much about if we are going to heaven or hell when what we choose now will determine how much love we want in our life or not.
A beautiful blog to read Anonymous, empowering us to take responsibility for our choices in life which flow into and impact on our next life;
“Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given. By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve”.
It is so simple really … in that reincarnation really is that missing link that makes it possible for us all to live lives feeling that ultimate responsibility, then wouldn’t the world be a different place.
“I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.”- so how important is it to live from a foundation of love and build on this each day, without perfection.
Yes Anonymous, it definitely makes more sense, and feels true far more than the concepts of hell, purgatory, jugement day etc, Hell to me is what we have made of our lives here on earth – and thus we are empowered to take the steps to choose a different way, one that restores Heaven, and the truth of brotherhood that we may all know the truth once more.
Yes Brendan – Much of what Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have presented on this topic has been deliberately taken out of context and highly misrepresented to fuel discord, however the science of reincarnation that is presented by Serge Benhayon has an amazing cohesiveness and beauty to it that is definitely worth considering as a whole, – and for one to make up one’s own mind. Karma and reincarnation is already well-known by millions, and related to Buddhism, Hinduism, and many other religions, even early Christianity – so not such radical out-there concept – and gaining deeper insight through Universal Medicine presentations has helped me to understand the greater picture here on offer.
Well said Annie. There is nothing new about Reincarnation.
I agree Anonymous, embracing responsibility for what we are living now in this life is the key in understanding reincarnation and the patterns or configurations we carry over to our next incarnation.
It highlights the importance of expressing the love that we are from the inside out, in the knowing that it is love that lays the foundations for a loving life next time round.
Yes Nicole I agree the more responsibility we accept the more responsibility we become aware of, and the beauty is that the awareness brings with it a deeper understanding of life and the sheer magnitude and magnificence of it all.
It is deeply empowering to know that reincarnation is a very specific and accurate science designed to support you to live responsibly and choose the quality you live and pass over in wisely… A far cry from the images of life and death we have been erroneously sold, free of the evolution and purpose reincarnation is based upon.
“I now know karma is not what we get sent from some judgmental and resentful God. Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.” – Absolutely, I agree entirely. I’ve often seen karma presented as though it is some kind of revenge but the way Serge Benhayon has presented it makes absolute sense to me. It’s not about revenge or recrimination but helping us to learn and grow, be more aware and take more responsibility for ourselves so that we can truly evolve.
Absolutely Fiona. Reincarnation comes us from the Greatest Love there is, not from revenge or judgment.
I agree Fiona, if we embrace it as an education, and a way to learn and grow, there is no self criticism or bashing, but rather an open science of learning, discovery and awareness which only gets better and more amazing the deeper we go.
The truth about reincarnation really is the missing link for all the world to take true responsibility for themselves and hence everyone and everything and the world would be a very different place when this is reclaimed as part of the way we all live on earth. Thank you for presenting the truth of what is really going on with so much reality and simplicity.
Yes Nicole, how beautiful that we are offered new layers of responsibility as we evolve. I find my life so much more interesting since coming back to the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, knowing I am here to learn and connect to layers of myself and life that I had long forgotten.
“Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing” I love the simplicity of Karma just being there to offer us an other choice, a change for us to take responsibility.
Another really important missing link for me as presented by Universal Medicine was energetic responsibility. The fact that everything we do or even think either harms or heals everything in the universe because every movement we make (including thoughts) has an energy to it and that energy has a certain quality which if we look at it scientifically has to either support the whole flow of the universe or disturb the flow. And if there is a disturbance to the flow their has to be a correction of some kind to restore balance. Very simple, very scientific. Nothing airy fairy about that.
yes Andrew, and the fact that everything has an energy to it, one that either harms or heals, brings a whole new possibility to how we live. Embracing the lessons each day and each lifetime allows us the opportunity and choice, according to our free will, to learn, deepen our awareness, and to re-imprint those errant steps with love to once more return to the knowing of the fullness of who we are.
It is fun to look at life from this approach, as a scientific observation and enquiry. If we make everything about energy and learn to observe and understand its outplay, then we can truly see what is happening with people and interactions, and how energy affects them. This is a great help understand and to not take things personally as well as no longer judging and criticising ourselves. Simply becoming more aware of what is at play is the first step towards true awareness and how we can master living in this world staying true to ourselves.
Love how you make it about science Andrew. Science in the world as we know it has becomesomehow reduced or diminished, fallen prey to the competing interests of industry, money, dogma, supremacy, and academia. Let’s look at revisiting the truth of science and open the door once more to true enquiry and openness. Science is something we all share equally.
I agree Nicole, and the responsibility is there but also the love and the beauty of allowing us all to learn and retrace our steps, reimprinting with harmony back to the Divine source whence we have come.
When it comes to the topic of reincarnation it seems we have only two options in our current way of thinking:
1. The sceptics (non-believers) – in this group we simply don’t believe it because we have fallen for the notion that the world is flat (even though we know it has been proved otherwise and say it is not) and so therefore life has a very definite beginning and finite end and all that moves trucks along this lineal course, end of story, shutters closed.
2. The mystics (believers) – in this group we get totally engulfed by the illusion and glamour that not only do we come back but we come back with all the bells and whistles, trappings and conditions that sound great but carry no truth.
Both of these options are fed from one and the same source of consciousness and do naught to arise us out of of the stupor we currently live in. There is a third option and this is not a belief but a knowing felt deep within; that we are here on this plane of life going around and around in circles until we choose to return to and live in full, the glory of the love we are. Every revolution contains all the lessons needed to bring us back to this point, as do we in every revolution have access to the free will needed to oppose this.
Definitely time to bring in the third option, free from the trappings and ensnarement rife in a plane of life that is our own holding bay until we decide once more to return and restore our awareness of who we truly are and where we are truly from.
I’ll take option 3 thank you Liane – and, thanks to Universal Medicine.
“The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance.”
It is we who choose to live counter to this and thus create a way of life that does not truly sustain or support us. Through our wayward ways we duck and dive all that is true and that calls us back home to the love that we are. The Universe and thus truth, is based on simplicity and so the best way to avoid this is to invent complexity by way of elaborate lies that are fed to us lifetime after lifetime in the form of ideals and beliefs e.g. Heaven versus hell, good versus bad, coming back as a newt etc. that keep us blindly searching for a truth we are avoiding at all costs. We are in effect searching for something we don’t want to find and through this futile endeavour we simply bide ourselves more time to continue on with our reckless and wanton ways, lest we are called to take responsibility for every move we have made that has not been made with the love that we are, but in these moments are not choosing to be.
wow Liane, love what you have written, Complexity is a way of continuing to define and make seemingly real the illusion of what we have created and sustained for so long now – yet caught in time and deliberately intentionally oblivious to what is beyond, ..holding the space for us to return whenever we so choose.
What’s beautiful is that, if we admit we have been waywardly creating complication to avoid accountability for choosing to avoid responsibility (how complicated is that?!), we can simply let go and return to order, accepting the karmic adjustments along the way.
I grew up with being taught heaven and hell and only one life, one shot at it theories which never felt right to me either. I could never reconcile in myself why some babies and young children got serious illnesses, injuries and diseases and others not, why some people seem to get away with leading dishonourable lives and others seem to be leading good lives but still have a tough time. The science of reincarnation as presented by Universal Medicine is the only theory on this which has ever answered all these questions I have had since I was very small and for me is the only logical explanation that explains it all.
Yes Andrew, the science of reincarnation certainly explains it all – otherwise there can be huge reaction to, as you have said, a person leading a ‘good life’ contracting a serious disease while a person leading a dishonourable life appearing to go scot free. This then leads to people perhaps supposing that God is unfair and unjust, and that life is meaningless, so therefore ‘I can do anything that I like” – because there is no rhyme or reason. Understanding the law of reincarnation, this most loving science, brings huge acceptance and an opportunity to know and grow.
Lyndy I completely agree with what you’ve expressed. I am so appreciative of feeling the love we are all held in. Having an understanding of the science of reincarnation and accepting a greater degree of responsibility has meant I do not react as I once did to all the ‘injustice’ I saw in the world to the point of rejecting humanity, God and myself. It is not that now I let abuse go or don’t offer to support another person, it’s that I have an understanding of people’s choices and know I can choose understanding over judgement of another if, for example, they do not want to accept support or choose to continue unloving ways. I can bring this understanding to myself too.
Absolutely Karin. Bringing understanding is a very powerful way to go. It prevents us from creating engaging tendrils that link into the emotional and judgmental tangle. It instead links us to Heaven.
I had a similar experience with you Andrew- I grew up in the belief that there was heaven and hell in this one life, and if you were good you went to heaven and if you were bad you went to hell. But this didn’t make sense because when I did nursing and saw young children dying from cancer I thought surely they can’t have been so bad to deserve this. This led to believing God was cruel and went against the teachings that God was loving. Thanks to the science of reincarnation presented by Serge Benhayon it all makes sense now.
‘Evolution is about truth not what it looks like on the outside’… this line really stuck with me when reading this blog. We have constructed life to look ok on the outside based on security and survival and looking after self interest, but truth is not just about self it is about everyone equally and I wonder how our lives would look if we really lived this principle. It would redefine what we call a successful life.
That is so true andrew, we can change the pictures of this world, our clothes, our buildings, our technology and landscape, but in truth nothing changes until we learn to live together in harmony once more, taking the steps to live from love and to the learn the truth of who we are along the way.
A truly successful life is living with the riches of the inner heart, and sharing that love with all.
To realise what true success is will change the choice we make in it’s foundation as it will be no longer about chasing things outside of ourselves but deepening the connection within and expressing from there.
We all know from a deeper knowing and from our own experiences that living our lives for self does not cut it, it feels empty and we cannot but look for distractions outside of us to numb that feeling. Living our lives for ourselves and everyone equally, warms up our hearts and nothing else is needed, no distraction or anything.
I so love re-reading this blog. As you say, ‘whether we believe it or not, reincarnation is a given.’
Yes Sue reincarnation is a gorgeous gift given to us all. The responsibility to accept this gift is there whenever we are ready to appreciate and celebrate what is shared with us.
That’s an interesting concept SueQ – we can keep coming back in every lifetime denying the existence of reincarnation and ocntinuing to live entrapped in the material physical world stuck in the repeating cycles of time – or we can use time to learn to understand the truth of life and grow in understanding and awareness beyond time itself.
I agree and we seem to know this innately as many will adjust their idea or view when they know their life is ending.
But why do we wait until the end to live what we know really counts?
exactly Kylie, it brings with it much regret and maybe only then do we stop long enough to observe what we are really choosing against what we truly feel.
and in saying that it strikes me how much importance and weight we give to things in our lives that with just a little bit of detachement and distance is instantly exposed for to being important at all. (such as at the end of our lives – when we get to see what has been truly of worth). Just imagine we would live our lives from this insight from the get go.
Yes Sue it is a given, one I never doubted. I love when I can say this from a knowing, I can only doubt when I leave my body and go into my head.
If we accept that we do not only live one life, we will need to understand that death will not offer us a way out from our choices and that everything we choose will be reflected back to us. We will come back again and again until such time that we have learned to truly live from our soul and in brotherhood. Is it possible that those who do say they do not believe in it are merely not up for the huge rise in responsibility that comes with the acceptance of the fact?
Could be Carolien, could be.
Very possible. Self- responsibility is a big step up for so many of us.
Highly possible Carolien as the knowing that we reincarnate over and over until we have learned to truly live from our soul and in brotherhood brings with it a huge responsibility, one that many people may not be ready to take on…….but with a true understanding of reincarnation life begins to make sense, and the responsibility actually becomes freeing bringing a sense of brotherhood, freedom and joy.
today a man in the swimming pool made a comment “you only live once’ and I replied I did not feel to be so. He looked at me in wonderment and asked me a couple of questions one of them being why then is there so much injustice in the world – i.e. the bad people get away with it, the innocent suffer – I said that if we looked at the bigger picture of all our lives lived and our choices made then it all made perfect sense. There are no innocent victims and no one gets away with anything.The links are only not directly visible in the one life.
I love this conversation about reincarnation and the bigger picture, held in the swimming pool Carolien – so beautifully and simply expressed
So true Carolien, with our limited view confined to this lifetime we cannot know the bigger picture.
true Rosemary and this goes further then just reincarnation. If we let go of our limited view we will see that life is about energy first and foremost.
Yes Carolien, in loosening and letting go of our limited views and long held images of how life should be, we begin to get glimpses of the truth, and as we continue to let go the bigger picture begins to reveal itself.
I agree Rosemary, once we understand that it is a returning to the love that is on offer to us constantly in every moment, the steps back into responsibility become ones of joy and brotherhood.
Yes Annie life becomes the most profound responsibility imaginable once we open to and understand reincarnation and the fact we are here to live and know the deep love we all are, and that we are all in it together, equally so, around and around until we all get it, no one left behind….absolute love and brotherhood.
Yes it does feel like that and it has much to do with religious institutions like the Catholic Church not wanting to be held accountable for the abuse of power they have chosen. We have conveniently been fed stories by these institutions about heaven and hell to keep us imprisoned and away from the truth that we will be given the opportunity, life after life to live with more responsibility for our choices and for the whole. It is interesting that many today are no longer part of any Church but are still choosing to be ignorant and are lacking a sense of responsibility for their choices.
Yes Katinka. The going to Church and the not going to Church are one and the same energy or quality and there is no self-responsibility or responsibility to all in either of them.
this is true Katinka, by the notion of heaven and hell as painted by the Catholic Church and then portraying themselves as the only way to get to heaven people were robbed of their discernment and connection to the true religion held within. We have willingly sold ourselves to this picture so as not to claim the power within and live the responsibilty that comes with that.
Linda you raise a great point here, to either take on board the idea of God as painted by the Catholic Church or to say that there is no God are both the same as in both we do not acknowledge the God we know innately and our natural connection to him.
To understand karma for what it truly is – a gift from God to show us the consequences of our choices and guide us back to our essence and a natural energetic and Universal law – is a gift in itself as we can no longer play dum nor be a victim. It is the ultimate guide to responsibility and to know that everything we choose will be reflected back to us.
Thank you Anonymous for so clearly explaining what incarnation and karma is and how they interact together. I used to wonder too why the ‘evil in the World’ were not instantly confronted with what people did but we build up quite a backlog of karma so it takes a while to get to us. These days I have heard and cleared so much that my karma has become instant. It then becomes super obvious that karma is there to teach us how to be loving and all encompassing at all times.
I have also had this experience with massage and have found that there have been other things that i have known through my life and I’ve not really understood why until later. The difference with these though is that they have come from a feeling in my body more than any facts in my head.
I have the same sense within myself about painting.
Yes often we wonder how our natural gifts and talents come about, already there for us to tap into as youngsters with all the knowledge and skill at our fingertips……often with a knowing we have done this before.
From our previous lives makes perfect sense.
Explains a lot of the knowing that we come in with.
I don’t recall the moment I first heard about re-incarnation, but it always made sense to me. The understanding that I love the most, is that re-incarnation although it is as you say Anonymous about responsibility, it is also about love and that all of the details in life that we find ourselves in – no matter what they are – is the most loving process of all. It’s not about teaching us a lesson (although we do learn much). It’s about us looking more deeply at the parts we play in all areas of our life, our choices and this is not an easy task my any stretch. But through this we begin to see that we are not our hurts and behaviours. They are simply the choices we have made, for which there are consequences.
Beautifully summed up Jennifer, it doesn’t make sense to me to not believe in re-incarnation. I began to experience more joy and love in my life when I began to live with more responsibility – when we understand re-incarnation’s true meaning it is an absolute game changer for us all.
To have a greater understanding on what re-incarnation is, gives purpose to life and foundation from which we can live by and live our future lives by.
Yes, Jennifer, re-incarnation makes every moment count, and this is a level of responsibility which brings great joy and meaning to life.
I like how you have connected responsibility with joy here Janet. We need to hear more of this as growing up we often swallow the lie that responsibility is separate to love.. that it is a burden, or a heavy weight we must carry. I am finding the more responsibility I take for not just my actions, but the quality in which I work and relate to my friends and partner etc. the more settled, content and joy-filled I feel.
So true Jennifer, and it also gives a deeper understanding of the responsibility we have in the choices we make.
Absolutely Jennifer the learning we gain from understanding re-incarnation is so valuable for all.
And I feel not only that but it expands our understanding and connection to God and the Universe. Reincarnation brings a simplicity that allows us to live life within the flow and not constantly fight the tide.
This is such an important point Jennifer as we tend to seek for the meaning of life in all the wrong places, we have adopted many pictures and ideal of what life is about, the career, being a parent, being happy, or even doing good. The true purpose of life in fact has nothing to do with what we have created in our everyday lives but in coming back again and again until we truly live from our soul in brotherhood and an all encompassing way so that being here will be no longer necessary.
I agree Jennifer it is hard to see a purpose to life if you believe that you only get one life and then you die.
In the times when I believed I have only one life because religion was telling me so, I was full of fear also because I did not know what is coming afterwards. Now I know because there is a feeling in my body which is telling the truth which confirms that we reincarnate. It is an expansion and wideness in my body.
It also makes sense to me Anonymous that “… we bring through the way in which we last lived” and that our past lives impact our present one. You can see it in babies, each one unique in expression from their arrival. To me there is no way we are a blank canvas when born.
Absolutely Jeannette when babies are born they already have many traits that the parents cannot account for.
Exactly Anonymous, there is much more going on than we realise.
We sat an 18-month-old girl at the piano for the first time and she spread her fingers and touched the keys as if she had been having quite a few lessons. She did not play a proper tune of course but her posture was perfect. She had never seen a piano being played and we all get the impression she had played before. The same thing happened with this girl when we sat her on a rocking horse at the park – inexplicably perfect posture. But its not just these sort of things, its also personality characteristic, personal activity preferences, and very distinctly they way they look at you. From the moment they can look, they each look at you very differently and engage you indifferent ways. Its quiet an extraordinary and undeniable thing and anyone who has witnessed this must entertain the possibility of reincarnation as true.
I have noticed this in my own kids. That they have behaviours and traits that they have definitely not learnt from us as their parents and do appear to be very old and very practiced.
Yes Jeannette we come into the world already equipped with beautifully unique expressions from experiences we have held before. Reincarnation gives us a greater understanding of how life’s cycles work for us all. That is pretty cool.
The cycle of life, within life and from one life to another and the process of evolution and the orbits of stars and the universe – everything is cycles.
Yes, Jeanette, if new parents had an awareness of re-incarnation and what we each bring in with us from life to life, they would be better equipped to understand the unique journey their child is on.
Absolutely Janet. Understanding reincarnation would add greatly to parenting principles.
Understanding re-incarnation changes everything.
this clearly implicates that there is no randomness what ever and that even children being ill or having handicaps is part of their bigger cycle of lifetimes.
Hard to fathom but yes Carolien, absolutely yes. Everything, all the so assumed good and bad things are all part of a bigger picture of “cycles of lifetimes”. It really puts a new slant on life and responsibility.
Thank you Anonymous, for the clarity and simplicity presenting the fact that we are totally responsible for the quality of life we choose to live whether we like or not.
Absolutely Francisco there is no way around it, what we encounter in our lives has been self-created by the choices we make and the quality we live in.
Understanding the true meaning of reincarnation has revolutionized my life. I always knew we weren’t here for just ‘one life’, but Serge Benhayon’s presentations felt so true in my body that at last I can trust what I feel. It’s great to be able to understand people from this perspective.
Re-reading your blog, Anonymous, I am reminded of the frightening prospect of heaven and hell which I too found hard to come to terms with. So many of our beliefs and images take us away from the simple science of self responsibility – cause and effect.
I know Janet. It feels like there is a mountain of complicated, illusions pile atop the simple truth all to avoid responsibility. Its mind blowing when you think about the magnitude of the cover up.
But think we must if we are to restore love and brotherhood on Earth. What I love and what keeps me drawn to being a continuing student of Universal Medicine is that in the courses and presentations we get to pick away at the cover up, to uncover and rediscover the simplicity of self-responsibility and the ever deepening ways of living from love.
I agree Jeanette, the courses are never the same yet it is the same course or workshop.
Same same but very very different. That is because wisdom is spherical and not linear, so there is always more to expand upon.
Anonymous you wrote: “Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived!” That is really a very different way to get an understanding of people and I have to admit that this way makes so much sense to me and help me to understand things which made no sense before or was hard to explain.
It is time to learn about reincarnation from day one as it felt that we know everything about it when we are young. Thank you Anonymous for not holding back your lived experience with reincarnation and I love following sentences: “I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.”
“I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.” Reading this Anonymous I can understand why most of humanity has been resisting reincarnation for so long, we don’t want to know that we return to what we left behind in the last life and all the choices we have made. Knowing we are responsible for each life that we live brings more awareness and responsibility into this life that we are living now.
Well said Alison. The total disregard that is lived in the world today is evident enough. It seems we don’t look behind and see the mess, but even if that is done, there is still little care as it is expected that someone else can deal with.
Great point Matthew, the lack of responsibility for clearing up our own mess is evident, we expect others to sort it out. If we knew that we are responsible for the wars that are happening in the world today, would that be enough to make us stop and see what is really going on? The more I understand responsibility the more I see the part I play in everything that happens in the world today. I am still a long way from living this every day but when I feel this it is very humbling and gives me an opportunity for a greater awareness, understanding and responsibility.
“I’ve seen that we can choose to learn from what we experience or not, hence being shown it more clearly and profoundly at a later time.” Indeed and in this is it not loving to be shown it again to give us another chance to truly learn rather than how karma is sometimes presented as being about retaliation or judgement..
Thank you, Anonymous, I love how you summarise re-incarnation and karma in terms of responsibility, and this explains why so many deny the reality of it. If we all accepted that we were coming back to repeat our patterns of behaviour until such time as we learn from and clear them, our approach to life and relationships would be entirely different.
I recently heard a talk on death and aging and how in the future we might be living longer and possibly become immortal. As I listened I though of life, of how everything is in a cycle of growth, birth, death and rebirth. It was shocking to consider that humans might truly believe they were above the fact of dying. When reincarnation is considered, all a longer life will do is delay the process.
Interesting that I have observed too Anonymous, we can create heaven or hell on earth for ourselves, depending on our personal life choices. It all boils down to taking responsibility for our own choices.
Why would we reincarnate. I have always found it ludicrous to think that a being who is born with such wonder is destined only to perish into dust at the end of their life, or are simply some part of an evolutionary pulse. Even if they are just that, what is behind that evolutionary pulse, and why is it in itself so intelligent. I am a great fan of science, but sometimes our attempts to understand exactly what is consciousness or intelligence by the application of pure logic just makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and seems to ignore some rather large elephants in the room.
Realising responsibility as the missing link is also very empowering as we are able to understand and make choices according to this divine science.
I was never able to come to terms with the notion that we are here for one life and then gone and that is it, nothingness for eternity. The advocates of this theory in my family and elsewhere called it motivating, because of you only have one shot at it, so make the most. Yet in reality this amounted to a huge pressure to get it (life) right and fear and condemnation of questioning things and instead a push to get on with ‘it’, in the absence of exploring what quality means. It became an existential reason to indulge and stimulate oneself as much as possible, as there was no reason or purpose to life. So it was never a fear of not existing for me, just a crazy one off pointless situation which I just knew inside to be untrue and never made sense.
Recognising ‘responsibility’ as the missing link is a sure way of making more self caring choices in life.
‘I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.’ Yes Anonymous’responsibility’ is the missing link – so well said.
Understanding the true meaning of reincarnation and responsibility reveals the true meaning of freedom and does away with the absolutely false versions of freedom as in independence, irresponsibility and or rebellion against an order as the divine order is what assures true freedom.
Absolutely Alex. One is ‘freedom’ to stay ensured in misery, the other is freedom to serve in glory.
Haha, takes the term freedom back to its roots – will.
‘I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next …’
Okay so many of us did not grow up with people reflecting this but now we have a chance to make a change. Whether we are a teacher, a parent, a boss or anyone really …the most loving thing we can do is choose to be responsible for our own living and support others to do the same.
reincarnation is not a new idea, For it is in the very way the world works – in nature you constantly see the cycle or death and rebirth, through the seasons and the growing and dying of plants and trees, to the cycle of the rocks forming, eroding and reforming. Why should we not also ad hear to this cycle
What we consider our intelligence has reduced us to being mortal beings that simply disappear into dust when dying thus not understanding the divine reflection nature is giving us.
I agree – nothing in nature truly dies, it is reborn in some form again and again – the tree that dies decays and is absorbed into the soil to be used by bacteria or help another tree grow. This is a reflection of the cycle of reincarnation, that death is not an end but a beginning.
Reincarnation is testimony to the order of the universe we cannot escape but only take time to resist and figure out free will.
Thank you Anonymous – I’m loving the absoluteness and accessibility of your expression in this blog.
Love it Anonymous. In particular the thing I have learnt from the science of reincarnation is this idea of taking responsibility. It extends that concept not just to day to day consequences, but it makes sense of the bigger questions like ‘why was I born a particular way’, as in truth we are all being given a unique opportunity, unique to our history and the next lesson we need to learn in our evolution no matter what that might be.
….and that reincarnation is the consequence of absolute love and truth as everything that is presented to me in life is an offer to evolve and claim the grandness we all are. There is no punishment, only learning to forever evolve.
It is hard to fully fathom and understand the deep love we are held in by the science of reincarnation. I guess it is because we do not hold that equally deep love for ourselves or each other. But just reading about reincarnation and it’s true purpose connects me to this unfathomable depth of love available for us all to be. Likewise, to know there is no judgement is equally as tricky to fathom – this reflects the judgement we clearly hold ourselves and each other in. The reflection that reincarnation offers us is both exquisite and unfathomable and amazing to unfold.
Beautifully said Gina – the deepest Love.
Beautifully said Gina, to understand and accept reincarnation has certainly transformed my life in amazing ways. When I first heard Serge Benhayon present on reincarnation, even though I already believed in it, I understood it in a totally different way and the grandness and beauty that living that level of responsibility supports not only ourselves but everyone around us.
I just loved this – the responsibility we bring to EVERYTHING. It all has a ripple effect.
When we know the true understanding of incarnation, we are swept up in a deep love for all that it offers – an opportunity to make different choices.
The cyclic nature of life has changed my understanding of Karma and reincarnation for me. We are coming back to that which we left incomplete until all is complete once more. Very simple, very responsible, very beautiful.
This is awesome Anonymous, I love how you’ve shared what you know to be the truth about reincarnation — and what a beautiful way to live to take responsibility and embrace the learnings to live a life, and many more after that, based on truth.
This is it for me, it makes absolute sense…”the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.”Pure and simple.
I love that in the world the macro is reflected in the micro an vice versa. How this is so in nature, the same patterns on a large scale could be on a small scale too. How I live my day is how I will wake up the next day, is the micro to the macro how I live my life is how I come back the next. And always we have the choice to accept, to be where we are at and build our awareness of our love from there.
Thank you Anonymous there are many pearls of wisdom in your blog, this one stood out for me and how supportive and loving this would be if we were taught this from a young age: ‘We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.’
Yes, what a beautiful way to live, to always be about evolving rather than attaining to something in this world.
Interesting that evolving does not hold on to anything whilst attaining doesn´t know how to let go.
I agree. How much mankind needs to know these truths…. Wow — what is available to us as a human race through the teachings of the ancient wisdom is beyond measure.
Thank you Anna for highlighting this. Now I know what true purpose is and why we are here and what life is all about. I know it because I am from it but got a bit squiffy along the way. To live in readiness and ‘preparation for the next’ makes my heart sing with joy.
It all makes so much sense. We have a sense that every day we start afresh, yet we always carry the momentum of the previous days and the energy with which we went to sleep as well. In each moment we carry everything that we have lived in every day leading up to this one day. It is not that difficult to appreciate the possibility of this with lives lived and replace the word ‘day’ with ‘life’:
We start each life afresh, yet we always carry the momentum of the previous lives and the energy with which we passed away as well. In each moment we carry everything that we have lived in every life leading up to this one day in this life.
This is very profound and so well expressed Golnaz. I felt very expanded reading your comment. I love how you share we bring everything to a moment and it is about what we do with it in to then live in that moment which matters. What I deeply felt in your comment is how you encapsulate there is no time – I felt a deep expansion of what the universe is and feels like. Amazing.
When everybody becomes aware of the fact of reincarnation and karma then maybe a greater level of responsibility would ensure
Great point Joe, when humanity gets truly honest with themselves I feel they would be more open to reincarnation. At the moment many would prefer to bury their head in sand and continue to live irresponsibly.
Yes, and that is why we fight against it – it brings true responsibility to the fore.
Not only is it absurd that a loving God sends people to heaven or hell, but also how can it be that an unconditionally loving being pitchforks people randomly into either lives of misery or luxury or adversity or opulence? With reincarnation and karma as universal laws, everything not only starts to make perfect sense but also re-empowers every single person to take responsibility for either living in accordance with the harmony of God or in discordance – our choice, our consequences, our learning and in the end we will come back to where we come from as there is not really anywhere else to go, only the exploration of free will.
They do make sense of the world, which is why I like to hear the phrase ‘science’ around them. Choice and consequences is something all parents should be trying to teach their kids, and this just takes it to a whole other level.
Same for me, I love that there is a science to the order of the universe – there is purpose, a plan, a method…, nothing is random or vague but deliberate.
Accepting and living with the absolute knowing of reincarnation means to live in absolute equalness with everybody, not holding judgement on anybody, just the understanding for everybody’s choices. This is why people react so massively when talked about reincarnation, because it brings responsibility right into our face and there is nothing we can hold for ransom. Are we open to true love and love everybody no matter what they choose or have chosen in past lives and therefore live in certain conditions today? Are we open to love a person not as the victim of circumstances but as the agent of their own choices?
The way you present reincarnation here means responsibility and to love unconditionally – two major issues everyone personally and we as society have to learn a lot.
Wow rachelandras I love your powerful comment as it showed so clear that everything comes back to us – we are responsible for our choices – it is time that we start to swallow this bitter pill instead of waiting for further 100 lives.
Beautiful expressed Rachel, reincarnation allows us to more bring understanding in our relationships with others creating more space for being the love that we are.
This brings such a clear understanding of reincarnation and life Anonymous thank you .”the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.” What a beautiful purpose and meaning this brings to our life and the importance of each and everyone of us to life fully who we are lovingly.
It is very clear to me that as a society, as humanity, we had been sold a story or many stories about reincarnation that were false. I’ve lived in different countries and cultures growing up and each has its own version and story about reincarnation or their particular God. It was obvious, if I ‘believed’ one, then what about the other so consequently I was left with an open inquiring mind that is until meeting Serge Benhayon.
Anonymous I love the way you have said: ‘Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given. By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.’ Yes reincarnation is a given. Denying it is like denying that the earth revolves around the sun.
Well said Lyndy. The choice is reincarnation -responsiblity or reductionism-irresponsibility. Choose wisely.
“What I did not understand with karma was that how come there were some people out there who had directly harmed others yet looked like they were living a perfect life, financially set up with all the trimmings and looked like they had it all and for some good people life looked really harsh? If karma existed I wanted to know how some people seemed to get away with it.” Exactly how I used to think Anonymous and so many people still hold this view.
“We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next” – totally Anonymous, passing over is a process of healing in the grand cycle of life itself and beyond, just as day follows night, follows day, follows night… and so on….. which foundation is chosen now, today or this life naturally seeds the following or subsequent. When we know this, we know the level of choice and responsibility we have to make life that of hurts, or of love and healing back towards this place again. Such is the beauty and opportunity in passing over.
I really enjoyed reading your blog Anonymous. I could identify with almost every word, although I did not learn about karma until I was about 30 when I was a student at The School of Philosophy and I remember taking to this concept like a duck to water – at last I was hearing something that made sense and felt true. Unlike the common story of a judgemental God and where good = heaven and bad = hell. This only served to produce guilt and fear.
Yes the idea that God punishes us for our ‘sins’ is so irresponsible. We are the makers of our own issues and we lay the path that we walk.
I agree Kathryn. When we think that we are being punished by God, we are unable to see the part we have played through the choices we have made and we are judging our own lives and circumstances based on what we see with our eyes only, which will only ever give us a very limited view.
Super post Anonymous, love how you piece everything [responsibility] together in regards reincarnation and karma. And just love your words here: “Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside” – life may seemingly look good on the outside or for a while, though when we consider choices and their impact, all is not always how (great) it looks … unless that is, it holds truth.
We can hold a picture for so long, controlling it, manipulating circumstances so they look the way we need them to. But this only lasts so long as we cannot control everything all the time. It is at that point that we realise that the picture is not the truth… and the constant we need to develop a relationship is the truth of what we feel
I agree simonwilliams8 – “we cannot control everything all the time.” even if we wish we could do it. No one told me before how exhausting this way of living is – to develop a relationship of what I truly feel in my body and live this is so much more freeing and loving and really less exhausting.
And the way to develop that relationship between how we feel and how we live is through our movement.
I have always known of and accepted reincarnation, but it was not until I heard Serge Benhayon speak about it that I became aware of the fullness of what it is about and what it offers us. I feel the ‘airy fairy, coming back as an insect’ version plays out the same consciousness as the good and bad of religion. Neither support us to feel empowered to make choices for our evolution or for the evolution of humanity.
How many ‘words’ like “reincarnation” have lost there true meaning or at least have had there meaning diverted or put askew so as to bring in confusion, which creates all types of conflicts.
And while we argue over the nuances or existence of reincarnation, the wheel of birth and death and re-birth continues to roll, no matter if we believe in it or not!
Absolutely Fiona, we are hear to return and reconnect through “rebirth” the reason life has lost the meaning of words is to keep humanity me included in the illusion. So being a grasshopper in my next incarnation is part of the illusion so people can say how ridiculous is that and not be totally responsible for all their choices and actions.
All a decoy to prevent us from bringing more truth, love and responsibility in our lives.
Absolutely Jennifer, just like the rubber snakes that are suppose to scare the birds but they never have fooled a bird. Maybe the rubber snake salesman made the story up! Just like the snake oil salesman of the past humanity wills wake up one day to the “decoy,” which has bean keeping us in the dark about the true energetic meaning of words.
We need to restore the true meaning of words so that we can nominate truth once again. Without a language that is capable of expressing the essence or being of things truth is somehow mystified if not withheld to us. We know truth inside out as we are from truth, but only with the accurate words we can recognise it for what it is and communicate clearly. Truth, words and awareness go hand in hand.
So true Greg. Beautiful words that are stunted, twisted, bastardised and watered down to then take the divine meaning OUT of them… leaving them hollow or even the opposite to their true meaning.
An accident? NO. This alone is an extraordinary manipulation and should be studied.
Let’s re- write the dictionaries 🙂
Absolutely, to make a mockery of words that hold the key to humanity evolving is pure distraction and pure evil.
Holly molly, this could be the light at the start of the tunnel to return us to our truth-full place in evolution.
For a possible insight into evolution go to;

Very true Greg. I am sure there is lot of various meanings to what it means for various groups, including that re-incarnation does not happen. All to blur and stop our true understanding of what this most glorious science actually means for us all and it is a grand science.
I first came across the concept of Reincarnation at around the age of 10 when an english newspaper had a big article featuring children who spoke about their past lives, or things they remembered from another time. I recall reading the article and feeling that Reincarnation were true as it made sense to me. And so, at that young age, without any knowledge of it or explanation from an adult, my body was able to tell me that it knew this was a truth in the world, and it was probably around this time I’d been asking myself what happens to ‘me’ when I die. I love the way that when we ask a question with an absolute willingness to know the truth, the truth is shown to us. That’s the magic and order of God.
When I first came across the concept it seemed fantastical, and magical… but at the same time it made a lot more sense than anything else I had come across. The big difference between then and now is that Serge Benhayon has made it very practical, very human, and brings out the common sense in it. This understanding was huge support when my Mum passed last month, that the physicality is the side show that we all get suckered into when the activity of the eternal soul is where it’s really happening.
What a wonderful wisdom and perspective to have come to Simon, re your Mum’s passing. What amazing energetic support for all involved in this.
We live in a world that is so hung up on proving things exists in our physical world when we all know there are some things we just all know and accept that we can’t see or prove. How wonderful Simon that you’ve been able to see your mum’s passing as the inevitable end to the physical body but have a knowing that the soul continues on.
Starved of this truth we condemn ourselves to live tiny lives, lost is a sea of seeming randomness and tragedy and blind to the grandeur we are held in and by. There is no end. There is only continual expansion and thus our evolution back to the love that we are.
Beautiful testimony of the fact that we are all knowing and that all the wisdom is around us and that everybody can access it. Wisdom is not something we possess, but we access.
“Wisdom is not something we possess, but we access.” Absolutely Rachel we are the vehicles expressing the wisdom that is given to us.
I was chatting to someone’s daughter recently, who was sharing all the studies that are being conducted on near death experiences, in an effort to prove something to the scientific community. Important work I know, but at the same time if you just look at a living body, and then when someone has died a few moments later its simple to see that there is ‘something’ that animates us, and when that leaves we are left with something really quite 2 dimensional.
Thanks Anonymous for a blog that has me reflecting on all sorts of areas about commitment to life, choices and responsibilities etc. Something that I hadn’t ever really considered before is that when we are interacting with someone, we are interacting with parts of them and their personality that have been many lifetimes in the making. This seems so obvious to me but I hadn’t really considered it in these terms before. Understanding re-incarnation in a comprehensive way shows that we are all equal at our core but that for each of us there is much more going on than what we see on the surface. Holding this in mind leads me to realise how pointless it is to hold grudges etc because the reality is that each and every person has their own karma to clear and some of it is extremely stubborn and long standing.
“For me it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.” – this does make sense, in fact it makes sense of life in a world where human behaviour appears crazy and out of control.
How inspiring to read your blog Anonymous – the truth makes so much more sense that all the fairy tales about good and bad that we are fed when young. The sad thing is that if we base our lives on ideals and beliefs we feel so disempowered. Like you when I came across reincarnation it made such sense – and the longer I live life I realise that when things make sense they feel to be true and sound, without all the complications of the fairy tale like existence that I made my life, to escape from the truth and become lost in comfort. As you say when we realise that taking responsibility is empowering and evolving we can build a life that has a sound foundation and forever deepening and unfolding.
Hear, hear Susan – well said and I whole-heartedly agree “when we realise that taking responsibility is empowering and evolving we can build a life that has a sound foundation and forever deepening and unfolding.”
So true Katie…”…karma is a very loving and therefore healing aspect of life and is in no way a punishment but an opportunity to evolve.” How beautiful to be offered such a healing gift that supports every one of us to evolve… it is simply our choice to choose responsibility or not.
Anonymous I too have have found great benefit in understanding that karma is actually a loving feedback that allows us to feel the consequences of our ill-actions, in past lives or present, and provides us with the opportunity to make a correction. I no longer see it as a dirty word or indictment or proof that I’m failing to be a ‘good’ person, as it is without emotion. It’s as simple as getting lost in thoughts and not paying attention to our movements and tripping. Learning to pay attention and not check-out gives me the opportunity to ensure that in every moment I am with my body and expanding my understanding of the world as every thing is felt in the body. Nothing is minor or inconsequential.
Love your simple and practical examples Anne and the truth in your words “Nothing is minor or inconsequential”.
So true, In fact it is all in the detail.
Indeed David, understanding that responsibility lies in our quality and not what we do is utterly game changing, what I appreciate about this is that this cannot be second guessed or planned, for it unfolds from your will rather than any pictures or expectations you have set before you.
There are so many misconceptions flying around that when we are shown the truth we tend not to believe it as we are so sold out to lies we have bought into, and so it is with reincarnation. But looking at it objectively it actually makes a lot of sense.
I feel we buy into whatever story suits us at the time. If we have found life hard or haven’t dealt with why we feel hurt by people, of course we will want to believe we get to come back as an albatross. Everything else in the universe has a never ending cycle so why would life and death be any different? And what would be the point of one life, if you don’t get to come back and keep developing your way back to love?
This is so true Fiona, throughout nature is reflected cycles. This is undeniable. lt is like humans just don’t want to see this so they don’t have to feel empowered and accountable.
True Kate, and what comes with the many misconceptions is that when the truth is told, humanity has already built a version of their own beliefs and completely miss the truth when it is presented.
Yes Matthew, and this is the whole problem, that is the lies that we have erroneously bought into, and when enough people believe they are true it then becomes common knowledge so to speak – with most having no idea they are in deep illusion.
Reincarnation does make a lot of sense, as what other option is there
Totally Kate. To deny this is really trying to get us off the hook, to go for the notion that you’ve only got one life so who cares and go crazy. Which we can do if we want to, only to be back and pick up the crazy pieces in our next life ☺️
The craziest part of all this is that deep down we know it but just choosing not to because of not wanting the responsibility that comes with it.
You can only live the ‘one life’ theory for so many lives before you get tired of pretending that that’s all there is
It makes perfect sense to me Kate but could it also be that to accept reincarnation as a fact of life means the level of responsibility called for raises dramatically and so it is easier to say it doesn’t exist?
Absolutely, that is the whole point, we want to get away with what we can.
Katechorley thank you for your lovely comment – “There are so many misconceptions flying around that when we are shown the truth we tend not to believe it as we are so sold out to lies we have bought into . . . ” I only can agree as this is the only explanation for me why so many are not feeling the TRUTH even if it was shown to them right into their face so to speak.
“The quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.” and you can see this so much through babies…so often I’m surprised by how much they know and many make the comment they are an ‘old soul’ etc.. it makes a lot of sense to look at reincarnation this way.
“the versions I had been given so far were a far cry from the intricate and precise science that I heard when attending Universal Medicine presentations.”I totally agree Anonymous, Serge Benhayon’s presentations on reincarnation are refreshingly simple and common sense, what’s more everything rings true, a precise science that simply confirms who we are, void of decoration and stories.
Anonymous it was amazing reading your unfolding understanding of death and reincarnation, and like you ‘the versions I had been given so far were a far cry from the intricate and precise science that I heard when attending Universal Medicine presentations.’ From the time that ‘everything is energy’ was brought forth by Albert Einstein I had felt that some part of us lived on forever but simply changed form. This explained why as a teen I felt my grandfather’s presence after he died, and was confirmed the first time I went to a funeral with an open coffin. Far from being grossed out by the notion I looked on with fascination realising that the essence of the person simply wasn’t there, they were not dead. It was like the transformation that occurs when a cicada sheds its casing. However the question of ‘what happens next’ and ‘what’s the purpose and meaning of life’ were yet to be addressed, set me on a search until Serge Benhayon explained the science behind reincarnation in great detail at a Universal Medicine events.
One of the things I most love about my understanding of reincarnation now is the need to not check out in later years or have reward time after a life of working. It s an amazing time to prepare for your next life by clearing out any baggage you would not want to take with you next time.
Yes Fiona , living the future now.
Yes, yes, yes Fiona! To live a life that will stand you in good karmic stead for the next is the very basis of evolution and what a blessing reincarnation is in this light.
Yes living each moment to our fullness having our contribution and purpose continue to reflect the essence of us.
‘Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived!’ – Spot on Anonymous and very true, I know there have been certain issues I have struggled letting go of which feel far older than this current life. Understanding reincarnation and all it offers us is a beautiful opportunity to grow and evolve and let go of all that holds us back from being who we truly are.
Wow, when you really think about it, it changes the perspective of everything – it can be confronting, exposing and uncomfortable at time if it is showing you that you haven’t made such awesome choices, but it makes a lot of sense and it certainly worth considering openly.
We can then view life as a constant opportunity for Evolution – in our quality and our choices. It brings up the ultimate R word – Responsibility
From when I was a small child I knew that the essence of me would never die and I never believed in hell although many around me did. What I didn’t understand was the level of responsibility we have as shared in your blog ‘I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next’. Much to ponder on, thank you Anonymous.
Beautifully said Katie – ‘karma is a very loving and therefore healing aspect of life and is in no way a punishment but an opportunity to evolve.’ It seems that there is a deep relationship between our bodies and karma. As it is reflected though our bodies how we have chosen to live and as such are offered the opportunity to deepen our connection to Love, to our Soul through understanding and acceptance of whether the choices we make support us to grow, evolve and expand.
Anonymous this is a very gorgeous presentation about the truth of reincarnation. When we realise that the quality of our lives is the direct result of the degree of energetic responsibility we chose to live with we realise that nothing happens by chance, or to us or because of another. Every moment lived with ourselves and others is an opportunity to evolve and grow if we choose to accept it. To live with this awareness is empowering as we understand that there is greater purpose to why we are here, together and that it is us that has the power to choose to live in harmony with the greater Divine order that we are all in truth are equally part of. It is through our connection to our Soul that we come to know that we are so much more than anything of this world, yet it is through this world, together, that we can return to being all that we Heavenly are.
Powerful words Carola, and this in particular stood out for me: “When we realise that the quality of our lives is the direct result of the degree of energetic responsibility we chose to live with we realise that nothing happens by chance, or to us or because of another.”
Thank you Anonymous, reading your words has helped me realise how I can deal with what I am not now!
What a truly insightful blog with so much wisdom. You have really embraced reincarnation and as a result I feel that you offer any reader a great reflection to really contemplate reincarnation and whether it feels true for us and also how it might make sense to many ‘unexplained’ things in life. Thank you Anonymous for another golden gem.
I agree – Anonymous’s openness gives the reader the space to consider the subject presented and the possibility that it is true. These kind of open discussions are so important to start having on every subject.
You make a great point Anonymous in talking about the fact that the subtle ‘threat’ of going to hell and the ‘lure’ of Heaven as well as the categorising and judging people people’s actions as either being ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is right throughout society. Shockingly, it is right throughout the education system and other programs available for children and families. Being indoctrinated into these belief systems from such an early age – whether actively, through being introduced to the church at a young age or more subliminally has a defining effect on the adults that children grow into and the belief systems and ideals that underpin their actions, choices and the freedom they have to express throughout their lives.
Well said Kate and so very true. These belief systems serve only to dis-empower and keep us believing that there is a greater power outside of ourselves that chooses the quality of our life, determined by how well we obey the rules that these beliefs impose.
“Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.” To wake up to this and make choices based on the fact of reincarnation is incredibly healing.
Reincarnation was taken out of the Catholic Religion centuries ago, so I only heard about it as a concept from TV programmes and films. Hearing about it from Serge Benhayon in a way that makes sense helps me to understand that all my past lives are in my body now, and affect many of the choices I make, and that every choice I make now affects my next lives as well as this one. It brings responsibility to a whole new level – we are used to catching up on things, but not necessarily preparing that far ahead.
The beautiful thing about karma and reincarnation is that it is not about punishment but choice and responsibility. There is always an opportunity to make loving choices and turn things around.
The knowing of reincarnation and the remembrance of my past lives and patterns gives me a lot understanding and healing for my life now.
My previous understanding of heaven and hell through school and religious education never made sense at all. One week there would be someone talking about God is love and the next, it would be doom, hellfire and damnation. I have since found that I have the Love of God within me, I know this and feel it daily in my body, and now understand fully my responsibility of how to live through the teachings of Serge Benhayon. This understanding of karma and reincarnation is the truth, well written .
Re-incarnation as explained by Serge Benhayon made so much sense to me for it asked me to take responsibility for my life now. Other explanations of reincarnation never seemed true and felt quite threatening.
I loved this blog. It is so true.
“the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next.” This is the ultimate responsibility that most do not want to realise, acknowledge or understand, because if this is fully understood it would expose our comfortable lives for what they are, and it calls for a way of living that is totally conscious on every level. Not something that is embraced by many.
Yes Rebecca I agree. When we are willing to be honest with ourselves, with how we are living, how our bodies are truly feeling we then will discover the truth that it is only ever the choices we make that determine the quality of our lives lived. Our responsibility is our awareness of this fact, of what it is that we surrender to.
Anonymous, it is great to re-read your article, I remember deciding as a young woman that I was going to be agnostic (not believe in God) because everything that I heard about God sounded so ridiculous – like the heaven and hell idea and so for about 20 years I was very anti God. It was only since coming to Universal Medicine and hearing Serge Benhayon present about God in a way that made sense and felt true that I have started to trust again that there is a God, I realise now that all of the stories I was told about God growing up were not true. It feels lovely to now have a relationship with God and to know that we are all the sons of God and all equal to God.
Responsibility and reincarnation are linked so closely that it is no wonder we have forgotten the true meaning of these in the world and live a lie underlying everything our society is based on. We can thank heaven for Serge Benhayon offering us the opportunity to see and know the truth again so simply and clearly and this brings the real understanding of our puzzle and questions about life and its true meaning and our path of evolution by the way we can live and evolve and restore our true harmony and love.
“I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility”. This is huge Anonymous, for once we accept this responsibility we can no longer conveniently fall into victim mode or blame another. We then can allow ourselves to be aware of the fact that we are choosing the quality in which we live each life, and that it is up us to make a change and not expect anyone else to save us.
The concept of heaven and hell was drummed into me from a young child from the church, and my religious education lessons at school. Although I didn’t quite understand how a loving God would allow some people to go to heaven and others not. I was fearful of the power of God and going to hell, so I believed that I needed to be a good catholic girl. This resulted in me doing for others before myself, and constantly trying to” better” myself, causing adrenal exhaustion, mild depression and anxiousness.
Thanks to Serge Benhayon and his amazing workshops that I have attended, I now understand that we create our own heaven and hell depending of the living choices we make day to day, and karma has a large part to play.
After reading this, I can see the ridiculousness of a diluted version of reincarnation where people get fascinated about who they might have been in their past lives and even believe that they might have a life after the current one, yet manage to black out all the relevance and responsibility factor that would link one after the other, and take that almost as a random luck of the draw.
Anything random and luck, good or bad, as well as chance certainly go out the window once you get to know about the truth of reincarnation as presented by the Ageless Wisdom.
Is it possible that we avoid accepting reincarnation as true because we don’t want to take responsibility for our choices. We reincarnate to take responsibility for the past choices which we haven’t dealt with and cleared this time around, and this gives us the wonderful opportunity to choose to make different more loving choices. Reincarnation gives us back our power, purpose and our understanding for being and it relinquishes the hold of fear that surounds death.
Reincarnation is an interesting subject as there are many who reject this as a possibility believing there is only one life. How limiting to live your whole life feeling there is only one opportunity to grow and evolve. Reincarnation makes complete sense to me, especially when Serge Benhayon presented it it felt absolutely true.
‘How limiting to live your whole life feeling there is only one opportunity to grow and evolve.’ So true Anna and it then feels like an invitation to either push hard to get as much done as possible in that one life, or to to live a life of irresponsibility.
There is too much within one life for there to only be ‘one life’. Nature just oozes that.
I too remember as a child being fed lots of false beliefs around life, death, heaven and hell, none of which made any sense to me. It is quite beautiful how when the truth is expressed, there is such a simplicity about it and your whole body can embrace this truth and surrender a little more, leaving us more empowered and a little wiser
This is beautiful Rob. When the truth is expressed there is a deep knowing and feeling of oneness within that embraces that truth of us all, all that we are and all that we know is true. I absolutely agree – ‘there is such a simplicity about it’ – and this is what makes sense as this truth is not just about one of us but all of us.
Reincarnation invites us to consider our responsibility and purpose in our every day living. An awesome invitation to accept with an open heart, then it becomes simple and delight- full.
And if we don’t want to be responsible we can reject or even ridicule reincarnation. “Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given.”
“For me it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.” This sentence rings very true to me. It makes reincarnation very simple – just about our choices and how they affect our next lives. This in contradiction to the other things I have heard about reincarnation where it is all a bit vague as you said as well Anonymous. Thank you for sharing.
So much has been said here and there is so much to discuss. I know so many people that ‘think’ their one life is it and once they die that’s it!!! That would mean there is no purpose, order or more importantly plan to us … which of course there is. This is so true what you have said ‘Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.’ and Universal Medicine is here to teach, share and present these sciences to humanity again.
The understanding of reincarnation could be an enormous benefit to those entering into the final phase of life. Currently there is very little support to deal with this significant phase, and it is a time when the most important questions can arise. Reincarnation brings a huge understanding to the importance of the quality of our life lived as this is the quality we pass over in, and also come back in our next life with. The riches we pass over with are the riches we have developed in our inner heart, not ever the gold that the pharaohs took to their tomb hoping this would go with them into the afterlife.
Beautifully said Anne C –”The riches we pass over with are the riches we have developed in our inner heart, not ever the gold that the pharaohs took to their tomb hoping this would go with them into the afterlife.”
Yes this is so important Elizabeth and Annie! We work work work, achieve, achieve, achieve, build an amazing house, amass wealth, accumulate degrees or whatever, but we can’t take any of it with us. We can only take the quality that we have lived in – the riches of the inner-heart.
I love the word Re-incarnation. Re is back, again and in carnation says ‘in flesh’ again. Which is exactly what Re-incarnation is about. We’re back in flesh again. In ‘just’ a different body, but the Purpose remains the same, to live to the best of our ability our innate Love (by connecting to our heart) and make evolution (simply the Growing of that Love) our everyday Purpose. Simple, profound and very exact describing what life is all about. To re-in-carnate until we all get it right. Better wording is actually ‘to get it True’.
I love this understanding of reincarnation it makes so much sense and helps us to connect to the purpose of life with responsibility and energetic integrity.
Anonymous thank you, this is such an important topic to bring out into the open. There are so many false beliefs and perceptions around death and life after, and it is assumed that nobody can really know. But this is not true and you have outlined exactly how it is we CAN KNOW… through the body. Truth that is universal… resonates with the body, allowing an expansion to be felt whereby the truth is simply KNOWN, rather than thought about.
Thank you Anonymous, I also love feeling the moments where I am connected to the all of me including the past. It brings a wholeness in my life and I can feel clearly what steps need to be taken next.
Kerstin, I can relate to what you share. I have moments where I too feel connected to the “all of me including the past.” It makes the future feel open. The easy part is to focus on the present and the future will get taken care of.
I too have moments, Rachel and Kerstin, where I am aware of ‘all of me’ including past lives and present. The feeling of that overview is deeply precious, and clearly highlights the complication we have let into our early lives.
My views of heaven and hell were not dissimilar to yours, a place where you went if you were good and a place you went if you were bad. It’s interesting as we did not go to church as a family and I had no real involvement with the church or the bible but nonetheless the message of good and bad and the implications were everywhere. It’s interesting how we impose this threat of ‘being good’ on children without allow them just to be themselves.
Reading this blog and the comments that follow I can feel how much older my choices are than the ones lived in this life. I still conveniently only consider the choices I make on any given day and not dismissing that these are extremely important as it is these that will start to change the patterns of the past, I conveniently forget that the reason I am where I am is not just a result of choices in this life but an accumulation of so many choices over life times and life times. I know many of my choices I do not want to repeat, I find them exhausting and tiresome, so why then do I spend so much time resisting change in this life when I know to the core that making different choices we lead to a completely different experience coming into my next life? Is it that if I fully accepted reincarnation as the truth that I would then have to take responsibility for all my choices and this is what I fight to avoid?
To fully accept the truth of reincarnation is accepting responsibility for our life today, why we had a particular upbringing, chose our parents, and why we have attracted certain illnesses in our body.
So many of us do fight this truth to avoid taking responsibility.
This is huge. I know that I wanted to blame and feel a victim of so many messy areas of my life, from family to the type of school I went to. Realising that this was all the culmination of previous life choices came as a gigantic revelation. There is nothing that cuts victimhood like understanding current life is the sum total of all past choices. Rather than feeling overwhelmed I feel empowered to make different choices which will positively impact how I come back next time!
Reading this Anonymous I can feel how completly ridiculous this idea is, but this is what we are led to believe as children, ‘why would he send some people to hell to rot for eternity, and others that were good to fluffy clouds, to kind of um, well… sit around with angels playing harps.’ I now know the truth if God and so can see how crazy this idea of him sitting on a big cloud in heaven with a long white beard playing a harp is and yet until coming across the work of Universal Medicine and hearing the truth about God, this was an idea that I had taken on.
Until I heard Serge Benahyon present on karma, I had exactly the same questions and level of mistrust around Karma. Karma made total sense to me but how could it be that some people seemingly got away with it and others who seemingly did not deserve karma had so much to deal with? Now reincarnation, karma and group karma make sense to me, I don’t have any ‘yeah but’s’ not because I am not inquisitive and don’t ask questions but because my questions have all been answered. It all adds up, it just makes sense.
Understanding the truth and science of reincarnation was something very key for you for along ago as you can remember. How amazing that this understanding you now take with you in your work with those who are coming to the end of this life.
Holiday is over once we remember how responsible we are. The illusionary ticket to “do what you want”-world vanishes – and it is the end of the self-created hell. It’s an absolute gift of God once we open our hearts to it.
This is what should be taught for religion at school, the truth from the very start… well more like a reminder from the very start. I loved reading this, it is so clear and real, it’s like attending the classroom of life. There is a responsibility in how we are with our children and having consequences, as this is reincarnation for us all. When we do, say, think, act in a way that is not loving then of course we feel the after affects of that in our bodies and life.
Absolutely Aimee well said… if this was taught in religious studies at school I would have been in the front row. Instead I was in the back playing up… such was the lack of truth and therefore engagement in anything taught in those classes.
I had to laugh Jenny, I would have actually been ‘in’ the room if this was what was being taught in religious studies… as it was I was not allowed to go because I had not been christened or was in any particular religion. Now I see it as it gave me an opportunity to feel what religious studies were about without being right in there, as I would just be sitting in the next classroom. It always felt quite controlled to me and I saw my friends change and go into like a role, like this is how you are when you go to religion. How different I see and feel this now, that you can be very religious in every aspect of your day and continue to deepen your relationship with God anytime anywhere.
Yes similar to my experience Aimee, though from in the classroom most of the time. As my parents were quite irreverent, I adopted a similar attitude knowing I wouldn’t get into trouble at home for mucking up in those classes. It was very ‘stiff and controlled’, hence why my attitude stuck out. Such a contrast to what I now know religion to be, and the way true religious gatherings can feel. Attending The Way of the Livingness sermons is a beautiful, expansive and very inclusive experience… in complete contrast to anything I’ve felt before in any conventional religious ceremony or gathering. Even buildings dedicated to organised religion feel constrictive and tight, as though you can’t speak out of turn, or make a noise to disturb the hushed quiet. It is easy and natural to feel small, inconsequential and scared of getting into trouble if you put a foot or word out of place. Feeling held in the stillness of a true religious gathering arises a completely different response as it is impossible not to feel equal to the quality of stillness in the room. It invites a connection to the same place within yourself… and hence a re-binding to that which unifies us all as one.
Well said Katie, which means we are the living proof of it every single day.
If the truth was simply presented to us when we were young it would change how we would approach the rest of our lives and our relationships with ourselves and all others.
Absolutely Kate, there would be many games that we would see through straight away, but we can also do this at anytime. There are many children that are being brought up to just be themselves and would be an inspiring true reflection for others as well.
I agree some people are choosing to live in a true way now and that will inspire others to do the same until it becomes normal once again.
Agree too Aimee, this ‘classroom of life’ post is such an easy read on what is so grand in its messaging… and yes if RE (religious education) classes were like this for everyone, there would be no separating faiths, just the religion of universal truth, that is love. This is a class I would most definitely choose to take as a school curricula option.. and on into further education and deeper life study. It is this religion that structures my life today to find the Livingness as inspired though Serge Benhayon, a great teacher of Love, and Universal Medicine.
Yes Zofia, ‘the religion of universal truth, that is love’ when looking at all religious institutions from this they are very easily seen for what they truly are and the many separative faiths and beliefs that keep people looking on at others as not their equal brothers.
Thank you, this is a beautifully exposing blog that allows for great truth to be surfaced. It is amazing that we are not educated with these simple truths in our up bringing, if this was the case much disharmony would naturally not occur. We have a long way to go as a human race to really come back to the original truth of what life on earth is truly about.
Reading your words felt like reading about my own life and I love the common sense and factual way you present your experience. The way Serge Benhayon has presented reincarnation rings true in every cell of my body and my understanding of this science is forever deepening.
For some, reincarnation can be a controversial topic, but as you have so beautifully shared Anonymous, reincarnation is a given whether you believe it or not. Perhaps many shy away from knowing the fact of reincarnation because it asks of us greater responsibility? Responsibility is a word many of us often want to run away from, yet, the crazy thing is that it actually is what brings us together and opens our hearts to each other more so than anything else I know of. Responsibility is not seen for what is truly is: our true heritage and blessing of the grandness that we all are.
I agree totally Henrietta, responsibility is something that we might think we dread, but if we actually embraced its true understanding we could see the immense joy that can come with responsibiltiy and the potential for living together in true brotherhood.
Love it Annie and Katie! It might seem incomprehensible that responsibility brings joy – this joy comes from the connection to brotherhood and the all that we are and playing our role in fullness – in other words living a fulfilling (responsible) life.
Beautifully said Annie… “..if we actually embraced its true understanding we could see the immense joy that can come with responsibiltiy and the potential for living together in true brotherhood.”
Who wouldn’t want responsibility knowing this, and how awesome would it be to be taught this from very young!
Yes agree Henrietta, responsibility means accountability which many of us shy away from and avoid… though what’s to shy away from if what is to be met at the end is brotherhood through bringing us back together again, and, in our collective glory? A great way of looking at responsibility, and our true heritage as you so beautifully remind us Henrietta.
Oh so gorgeously said Zofia – brotherhood and our collective glory!
Thanks Anonymous for adding understanding to reincarnation, certainly confirms the feeling that there is more this one life, and brings to the fore, the responsibility of being responsible…
Reincarnation actually brings more value to every moment, knowing that there is a purpose and science behind why we exist, and from this, understanding we are part of a bigger universal order. Rather than karma being about copping it for what you did wrong, it’s more about opportunities to simply be more love, to grow in the true divine essence we each truly are and the responsibility we each have to live this.
So true Melinda – reincarnation always seemed to come with a feeling of judgment – of consequences for doing something bad or wrong, which is not true. It is certainly an opportunity to make new choices, to be more loving and responsible with ourselves and the way we choose to live.
Thank you for writing this Anonymous. This is exactly how I felt growing up – I didn’t want to go to hell but heaven seemed boring. When I attended church I looked around at the congregation and I didn’t want to be in heaven with the people I was surrounded by. Karma made sense but reincarnation presented as a random act didn’t make sense either. The Ancient Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon where reincarnation is an exact science that supports our evolution put everything into place. This makes sense.
That this was our one and only life has never made any sense to me – like how could so much infinite wisdom and grace that I see around me, the continuous cycles of the seasons, the birds migrating, birth and death of insects, animals all be for no purpose – a single life is here and then it is gone forever just didn’t compute compared to the majesty that surrounds us. Why was a fly’s life a day or two and it took millions of years for diamonds to form? – even time didn’t make sense. And nor did the randomness of what I learnt of reincarnation. But reincarnation and responsibility, yes that makes total sense – a fact that if I ignore I’ll have karma to teach me not to ignore. The more stubbornness I have in ignoring this and taking responsibility for every choice I make to be loving, the more suffering I inflict on the world and myself. My body will let me know no matter how stubborn I am.
I love your Wisdom around Re-incarnation Karin. It was so Joyful to read your words. You’re so right Karin, everything in life makes much more sense if we connect to it. It’s providing understanding of Life as a whole. The level of Understanding is what we choose ourselves. I love that. And it’s Truly up to us to seek more and more of who we are or indeed stubbornly refuse to connect deeper. As Growing (Evolution) is our Natural way, our bodies are to respond to this Growth, hence the explanation why there’s so much illness and disease. It is showing / reflecting to us that we’re not living in correspondence with life and its cycles.
Thank god for our bodies.
“a fact that if I ignore I’ll have karma to teach me not to ignore” What a blessing is this eternal rebalance when we see it so.
Life as we know it starts to make a lot more sense if you apply the concept of reincarnation. All the mysteries and unfairness of life starts to disappear, and the inequality of life as we know it starts to make sense on a much deeper level.
‘All the mysteries and unfairness of life starts to disappear and the inequality of life starts to make sense on a much deeper level’. This is so true Adam, for me it was almost a relief to hear Serge Benhayonand his family explain reincarnation as I could then have understanding and drop the sympathy I had for others who had seemingly pulled the short straw.
And also to drop the sympathy and victimhood for wherever we feel we have drawn the short straw too Adam.
That is true Adam. When we consider that we are solely responsible for our actions and understand that we will never get away with doing harm, no matter how much we believe we will, or believe we can cover up, only then will we understand how we move in cycles, and that what goes around really does come around.
The understanding of reincarnation in turn supports us to understand the quality of our upbringing in a much deeper way.
Great point Abby! it takes a lot of possible resentment off others as we realise that our past choices determine our up bringing.
Very true Emily. Resentment in any direction or towards any situation is not a good look! I have found that I have used this destructive emotion (because I have had conditions that life should be a certain way, a certain ‘good’ ‘pure’ ‘refined’ way) to not feel what I haven’t wanted to face up to. Gradually clearing it all and seeing it all for what it is.
I agree Adam, when we consider re-incarnation we have context and understanding that explains the otherwise random events of life. If we are moving on from life to life, what it is that we carry through and how do we do it? We all know that we cannot take material wealth and goods with us when we die, but we do carry over our emotions, hurts, fears and insecurities and we carry over the quality of all the choices we make on a daily basis. The science of re-incarnation has been brought to life by Serge Benhayon and in doing so offers us all the opportunity to prepare for our next one by ensuring the quality of our present one because one thing is for sure, quality travels with us when we pass over.
So clearly described Rowena. It helps hugely to know what we have packed in our luggage when we embark on temporarily leaving the earth. Have we packed emotions, ideals, beliefs, given-upness, recognition? Or are we taking with us the riches of the inner-heart? Understanding the science of reincarnation inspires us to make those life-changing choices.
And this whole new level of understanding life makes it so full of purpose and joy, knowing we always have the power to make true choices for ourselves, we are not victims of life.
Karma is the ultimate form of responsibility. Every choice we make has an impact not just on ourselves, but on those around us and on the earth we walk. We are responsible and karma it was makes us accountable.
This is huge isn’t it Donna! No wonder we don’t want to look at reincarnation as a possibility let alone a truth.
I hadn’t thought of it that way Rachel, but you’re right. We are very good at choosing not to be held accountable…but the truth is, eventually we will all have to take responsibility for our choices.
Yes Rachel, it is so much easier for us as humanity to turn a blind eye and choose not to believe in reincarnation because of the level of responsibility that is associated with it.
Loving karma as a result of the loving choices we’ve made and non-loving karma as a result of the non-loving choices we’ve made. Simple, yet very, very profound. And indeed – the ultimate form of Responsibility. And what I personally love, without judgement – all from an observing point of view. Which is for us Human beings often hard to fathom as we often have ‘critical thoughts’ with which we identify (rather than observe them).
Good point, karma is not punishment but a law of love that gives us the opportunity to have another look and do something about the unloving choices we have made in the past.
When Karma is viewed purely from the mind, it can seem to some as if it is a punishment. It is misunderstood and not connected to. But when connecting to what Karma is and offers, it is very beautiful because it acts as a guide…when we make unloving choices, their are consequences. It feels very simple and very beautiful to me.
This can’t be confirmed and shared enough Gabrielle. My experience is when I start talking about Repsonsibility and Karma, people instantly go into shame and guilt. Which is just another game that we’re playing without us realising that we’re playing it. How logic is it that when we’re choosing loving choices, the world will reflect more Love to us. Isn’t this actually obvious. So if this is obvious, the other way around is also obvious… The more non-loving choices, the more non-love will be reflected in your life. And ALL to learn from it. Not to bash ourselves, smaller ourselves, etc.
“Karma is not punishment but a law of love…” Love it Gabriele.
Life is pretty straight forward, isn’t it Sandra. It’s up to us if we connect to life or not. Only by connecting to life we’re actually able to feel what life is about and what all the messages from life mean to us and to others within our lifes. More and more I can see how much we’re here to live and re-experience that we do belong and that we are to work together. And that literally everyone plays their part. And indeed as you shared with us Sandra, we’re guided by life and by our Soul. ‘Using’ our Karma and choices to do so.
There’s indeed a lot in the words “Karma is not punishment, but a law of Love”. When I now choose to let these words sink in a little more, I am realising that it is indeed eternally loving to get the freedom and possibilities from Life to evolve back to our own preciousness, delicateness and all that we are! How Grand is this? And as soon as we’ve chosen to accept this, we’re given an even bigger dose of possibilities to come back to us. Indeed: A LAW OF LOVE.
And on top of this Donna, to learn that Karma is not a punishment but just a realignment to the natural order is well worth considering. Things do not happen to make us suffer, but only from the point of view of everything being energy, and therefore everything needs to be corrected that is not in harmony. This teaching makes a lot of sense to me.
Good point, karma is not punishment but a law of love that gives us the opportunity to have another look and do something about the unloving choices we have made in the past.
There are days when I don’t leave enough time to drive to work and end up sitting behind a big slow lorry, faced with the rear end of this juggernaut is like a loud karmic mirror saying “your choice!”. Before Universal Medicine I would have cursed the driver and blamed them for my late arrival without ever considering that I had a part to play! Its a mini example but I am learning to read these realignments and appreciate the responsibility they offer.
That’s a great example lucindag … our choices are always reflected back to us and how we see this is up to us.
A very valuable lesson indeed Stephen “to learn that Karma is not a punishment but just a realignment to the natural order is well worth considering.”
And your example is gold Lucinda – your words will stay with me and will come to mind with a big smile of appreciation when I next get caught behind a slow-coach. Thank you.
Karma is a heaven sent gift there to serve us and show us the way back to the love that we came from. Karma is only seen in the negative by those that do not want to be responsible.
Well said Donna – this is divine balance.
And what’s to say that it stops here at Earth? Every ripple of responsibility (or otherwise) felt is felt universally and beyond.
Like a 24/7 live TV show where we are watched and every little movement is registered – are we willing to live with such transparency that we are completely open to be seen by everyone? If not, what are we hiding from, what do we try to pretend and why?
We are the sum total of all our past lives lived, and in this life, through responsible choices we have amazing opportunity to clear so much ,so that in our next life our light will shine out so much brighter, in it’s reflection to the world.
Beautifully reflected Jill.
“I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices.” Nothing is random. Through the choices that we make in our day-to-day lives we experience from our body either a heavenly way of living or hell. The choice is always ours.
The point I loved here Ariana is that as much as we have the power to be irresponsible and harm not only ourselves but others, we equally have the power to be responsible and use this to heal not harm by our choices. The power of both irresponsibility and responsibility is magnified by our choices and by joining with others in these same choices.
Love that Donna. Well said.
So true Donna, heaven is not some distant concept to found out there in the ether, it can be lived right here and now through the choices we make.
The freedom of choice is not freedom from responsibility. As much as we can choose or think we choose we never leave the space that holds us in an order we have not to abide by but to answer to and are held accountable for either being in harmony or not with it. The ways we seek to fool ourselves into believing that we could step outside the order we are part of are manifold but all illusionary.
It’s so true – we can make life heaven or we can make it hell. Ultimately it’s always our life and it’s always our choice.
Indeed nothing is random and if we can accept this fact it will empower us to take charge of our own lives, to read what is reflected and communicated back to us and to live in the understanding of the energetic life we are living. There is nothing more empowering then this.
Nothing is forgotten or overlooked in the science of energy. Any thought or action not lived in union with the wholeness of who we really are, is stored and will be expressed at some point, whether in this or a subsequent life. It is therefore wise to consider our choices NOW to align to the impulses our soul and the whole of everything that surrounds us is constantly communicating, calling us to express and share more of the wisdom that we are.
The science of reincarnation is simply about personal responsibility; our capacity to live responsive to the truth impulsed through our body. This is the single most important factor in building a true life, that through consistency and dedication may end up looking financially and otherwise well set up, but built on love and connection; not driving and striving for a picture of success at the expense of one’s health, sense of self and wellbeing.
“Intricate and precise science” is an apt description for what Serge Benhayon presents by tapping into the Ageless Wisdom. His awakening and capacity to do this is the great illuminating opportunity for humanity to awaken to our own capacity to do so. And for this, I profoundly appreciate what we have been given.
‘Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given’ and whether we like it or not, responsibility is something we have to take for all our choices – past, present and future. Your article brings a real depth of understanding to this often wholly misunderstood and misrepresented subject and places it at the heart of any consideration about our individual and collective evolution.
As a child it never made sense to me that if we are all equal in the eyes of God, that we were all his children and he loved everyone how could he send some to hell for ever. However, I always felt there was more to life than just this life. After exploring many religions they always fell short. It was not until I met Serge Benhayon and the Way of the Livingness that my searching has ceased and my missing link was found.
““I now know karma is not what we get sent from some judgmental and resentful God. Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.”
I can feel how we choose to remain asleep to this fact, as the looming realization about our responsibility in the way we have lived, or are living can sometimes be a bit difficult to face. I have sometimes looked at responsibility as “what is my ability to respond here? Sometimes it is easy and a great joy and sometimes I am not ready to see where my choices have led me. Ultimately though they are all presented to me and it is my choice from there-on that brings me evolution and healing or not.
Gorgeous Jeanette. ” Ultimately though they (choices) are all presented to me and it is my choice from there-on that brings me evolution and healing or not.” When I became aware of the bigger picture everything opened up for me, literally. It all made utter sense, but most of all it supported with the desire to make those loving choices not just for myself, but in the knowledge that in not being loving I was harming others. However knowing on a very basic level (even from purely a self motivated one) that we come back to what we have left behind makes me want to leave a loving imprint behind. Who really wants to come back to abuse, neglect, given upness, lack of self worth, self loathing and so on? From a more inclusive perspective why wouldn’t I want to support others to understand this, or support them with understanding how amazing they are so that they too are more inspired to make similar choices? Humanity deserves to know this – connecting to the love that we all are offers no other alternative.
Ditto to you with your comment Michelle, I agree with all you say, expanded so beautifully.
This is a wonderful revelation and truth..”I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.” Thank you.
I love this beautiful understanding of the science of reincarnation and the responsibility we all have for the quality of our choices which will be reflected back to us in this life or the next.
Being introduced to the science of reincarnation and the fact that we are not going anywhere, but around and around in cycles on the huge ball of planet earth, has changed the way I live, and work. The realization that we are not in fact moving forwards and getting somewhere, but in fact going around and around coming back to the same point we left off at in this life everyday and in future life’s, has helped be less goal oriented, and driven on pushing myself to complete tasks, or better and get ahead in life. And more focused on the quality, presence and love I bring to all that I do.
Such an important point Thomas- the truth of reincarnation, and knowing that we live in cycles ,and we are not going forward as society wants us to believe, but around and around the sun – coming back to the same point. This has also made me more aware of the quality I live in and the responsibility needed to ensure I bring all of me to everyone I meet at work, home etc.
I don’t remember the first time I heard about Incarnation but to me it has always been a given that life does not end with us dying. The same way I didn’t believe that God is real, but now I KNOW that God is real, I KNOW that reincarnation is real too.
I am with you here Katinka, on both accounts. Re-incarnation has always been a given and to have the absolute truth of it be so clearly explained by Serge Benhayon was food to my body and has allowed me to really support myself in all my unfoldments and my understandings of myself and others. It is a true blessing to have these teachings.
Yes Amina, to have the absolute truth of what I have always known be explained by Serge Benhayon has been an enormous gift. From the day I came to Universal Medicine, eight years ago, my understanding of life, the world, myself and others, has expanded so much. This process of unfoldment is never ending and goes beyond this human life.
The teachings about reincarnation that Serge Benhayon presents make absolute sense to me, not as theory or belief, but as a living science. By seeing the huge responsibility we all have in the way we live and the choices we make, affects all others and our own lives and bodies. I have found that living in a responsible way in all my actions (without perfection) is a very beautiful and empowering way to live.
When I consider reincarnation as taught by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine all I feel is what a loving divine law it is. It makes sense that we have to learn that with choices come consequences, that is we have to learn the power of responsibility and accountability.
For years I was under the false belief that karma was a shameful punishment for getting things wrong and being judged as never good enough and hefty punishment would ensue. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine presentations I can now know what you say here is true Anonymous.
“I now know karma is not what we get sent from some judgmental and resentful God. Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing”.
Really great point Stephanie. It is wonderful to feel the love and evolution that the law of karma allows.
This makes so much sense. Your blog presents the truth in such a clear and simple way, exposing all the lies that have been out there and have left us in comfort.
“By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.” – Absolutely, rather than an imprisonment it is a true support to help us evolve back to the love we innately are but don’t always live.
Anonymous what an amazing understanding to reincarnation you share and offer with a simplicity and understanding that is unsual and real thank you . It is so relatable to as is you own journey and the meeting of Serge Benhayon and the truth he offers the world about responsibility and love as the key to life and the fact of reincarnation that no one can avoid.
I agree with Otto above – this is a wonderfully accessible explanation of reincarnation. I have always felt there is more to us than one life, but until I heard Serge Benhayon present on the science of reincarnation, it was a concept, a belief with only an intellectual basis – one that I could doubt. It is now a knowing in my body – there is no question that it happens, the only question for me is what will be the quality in which I will enter my next life? Do I choose responsibility or irresponsibility. The latter inolves having to go round the same karmic cycles I am experiencing this life, but to me it makes much more sense to choose to live as responsibly as I can to ensure my next incarnation starts with evolution.
Reincarnation is another cycle of life bringing responsibility and equality to all of us through our karma. This loving gift is a science that evolves us home to our divinity. Reincarnation makes sense and makes us accountable.
And this is very important for us to connect to and therefore live accordingly to its simple requirements, as life on earth is not an indulgence but a way home.
Beautifully said shellyjones44, I am with you all the way.
I have, in the past been afraid of death and have often pondered the reason we are here if there is no such thing as reincarnation. Since relearning about this I have a greater understanding of the bigger picture and that it is not something to be scared about but something to take great responsibility in.
I agree that when we understand the bigger picture and how death isn’t really death as in ‘the end’ it is part of a cycle of life we live in. Then it is easier to understand the importance of responsibility.
I remember there was a period when I was about 8 to 10 yrs old where I couldn’t sleep because I was so distressed about dying and nearly felt like panic attacks about ‘that’s it’ after. I was given a book on dying that focused on beginnings and endings, to try and support me but all it did was leave me with more anxiety and more questions. Looking back, I knew there was something more and the stories I was seeing around me did not make sense.
Great blog Anonymous, sharing on a topic that many are afraid to ‘go there’ with. I love that you have presented the ultimate responsibility here.
I agree Heidi. I have been “afraid to go there” when it comes to talking about reincarnation as there has been worry against coming across as an absolute nutter, but the way this blog has talked about the topic here is so absolute and so clear that even if you were in complete denial about it, you’d be more likely to agree on one level it makes absolute sense.
It is true at the heart of reincarnation and karma is the understanding of responsibility, and our responsibility to bring the truth of who we are so that all others can know the truth of themselves also. And to learn this we are given the gift of moments and situations to learn our choices that were not true and to make a different choice, to reimprint that which we have falsely imprinted before, to bring the one back into harmony with the all.
I had a similar experience to you Anonymous, and wondered why even though karma and reincarnation made good sense – it did not seem to play out in the world where greed, corruption, power and domination seemed to be the successful survival model on earth. It seemed to work the opposite of karma. Thanks to Universal Medicine presenting a more complete, congruous and all-encompassing understanding of karma and reincarnation, it is not only easier to see and make all the pieces of the puzzle fit, but it also makes it easier to let go and accept we all have our choices and to respect anothers choice, understanding that we all will learn what is needed to learn in the end.
“The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance” – time and time again I get blown away by how things can constellate for us and fall into place effortlessly when we are aligned to the natural flow of the universe. It is when we fight this natural rhythm and pulse that we run into complications, when things don’t flow and we might even try to force or push things. Nature has a natural order and pulse, it is pure arrogance for us to think that we are ‘beyond nature’ or ‘better than’ or ‘unaffected/unconnected’ – our bodies and particles belong to nature, which in turn is Divine. To deny this or to fight this is pointless and only makes thing difficult for ourselves and those around us. To surrender to this is the greatest gift to ourselves and those around us, for then the natural order of the universe can be, and nothing is left to chance.
Beautiful Henrietta, and I feel to add that the way we allow the communication between ourselves and the universe is through our precious sensitivity. Shutting it down in ourselves, in others, or through the way we socialise and educate children is a huge harm, especially when we see the importance of sensitivity in this greater context.
Sensitivity is actually a blessing which some of us perhaps might see as a curse, until the day that we understand how we can work with it and how it is actually part of our innate divinity. Sensitivity is what allows us to connect to all those around us and, as you have so beautifully worded it Melinda – it allows our communication with the Universe.
Thank you Anonymous, why would something that is so simple and true be shown to be something that is unbelievable? Could it be that if humanity were to understand the true energetic meaning of at least these three words, reincarnation, karma and responsibility the whole word would be turned upside down, because everyone would understand the simple value from choosing energetic truth! The true responsibility of seeing what can be achieved by living love, which is to be a student of your own Livingness, brings a loving relationship with self first and then with everyone else.
Anonymous, this really struck me: “I now know karma is not what we get sent from some judgmental and resentful God. Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.” Responsibility is the key word here, and is something most of us dread or run away from only to realise we must one day face up to it, and on that day when we surrender to our greatest responsibilities then we get to realise how they can set us free.
Responsibility is really beautiful when we realise it’s about us being more love. It also awakens us out of the self absorption to realise all we do effects everyone and everything, even the most distant star.
Spot on Melinda – as they say even a flutter of a butterfly’s wings or the way we clap our hands will travel around the world and have an effect on another. Everything we do carries an impact on another. Now this level of responsibility can be quite huge to consider yet so amazing to realise the power we all hold.
I really enjoyed reading about reincarnation and getting a deeper understanding of it from your blog Anonymous. I feel responsibility is an absolute key part of it all and what you share offers a much greater perspective of our role in not only this life but in preparing for our next life through the choices we make and the deep responsibility we each have in living in a true way. When explained in this way it completely debunks any prior misconceptions one could have held about reincarnation as it places the responsibility of how we choose to live very firmly in the hands of all equally.
Anonymous your understanding of Karma is so simple and true – that it is there for us to learn responsibility. Of course we can throw the word around to mean bad luck, but the fact is, it comes to us because there is something to learn that will ultimately evolve us. Karma is a gift if we are willing and open to see it in this way.
This is a great blog. Reincarnation as presented by Serge Benhayon makes complete sense to me. I know what he shares to be true as I can feel it, have always felt it, as I can also feel the ‘age-oldness’ of some of my behaviours. The fact of responsibility, something none of us want to go there with, confirms it completely. To live knowing we come back should automatically alert us to look at what it is we want to come back to, so we can prepare ourselves and our lives accordingly.
Well well said, it is about evolution and truth that in truth makes us life. But when we separate from this truth, we actually have no true place to stand on. And it is Universal Law – that we have free will to make choices and that we are forever able to choose truth. So we can either continue living not in truth untill we break down, or choose truth now again. But in our own time we will come back to this decision again. As we can only be without for so long.
Embracing the truth of reincarnation has been the gigantic key that has unlocked the gates to the deeper understanding that I have always felt but never been able to grasp through the miasma of falsities that we are fed as we grow up. Literally everything falls in to order when looked out through the spectacles of reincarnation. Every single breath has purpose. Which is a zillion miles rom the ‘existence’ that I was living before I met Serge Benhayon
‘Literally everything falls in to order when looked out through the spectacles of reincarnation.’ Great image of the truth and purpose of reincarnation.
So true: “everything falls in to order when looked out through the spectacles of reincarnation” – The science of Reincarnation brings sense to this worldly living.
Anonymous – you write in the most real and accessible way – no mean feat when talking about karma and reincarnation – two subjects that are normally wrapped up in much confusion and mysticism. You cut through it with a simplicity that we all know but that may have chosen to ignore. You make it make the sense that it absolutely makes.
Agreed Otto. This blog makes understanding reincarnation and karma very practical. One of the best ways to understand it for me is to look at events as they unfold, observe and feel. A long time ago I had gone shopping but to cut a long story short a woman I had trusted stole all my items. I was devastated, not so much because of this but because of the realisation that in another life I had done the same to another (I knew I had never done it in this one so it had to have come from another one). I knew in that moment of realisation that it was simply karma as a correction, not to self bash but to openly admit to myself that I had acted in this way – job done – unloving moment cleared allowing me to move on and deeply know from my body that when we harm another we harm ourselves the most.
“and deeply know from my body that when we harm another we harm ourselves the most.” I have felt this deeply and clearly in my body too Michelle. Taking responsibility in recognizing, owning and understanding our part in events is a loving act which immediately corrects where we took ourselves to.
I agree Otto, understanding these subjects as Anonymous has explained them takes away as the mystery and misunderstanding about karma and reincarnation, and makes us realise the importance of responsibility in our lives because we’re coming back again. It brings the understanding of cycles in our lives very clearly.
It’s interesting gillrandall that subjects like karma and reincarnation are shrouded in “mystery and misunderstanding’. When in fact I have found them (once presented and explained by Serge Benhayon) to be the most crystal clear and simple of sciences that, via a sort of domino effect, have gone on to make everything else make sense. The problem for most of us (and thus the complication that we actively pull in) is that all roads lead to responsibility.
Well said Otto, Anonymous does write about karma and reincarnation in a most real and accessible way. Amazing.
Pondering this further, and not for a second taking anything away from this writing….it is intriguing to me that a subject like this (normally wrapped up in multiple layers of complication) can be expressed with such simplicity and clarity. Is that what happens when you strike the gold of Truth?!
Anonymous what a stunning blog, you’ve captured so much of my own journey with reincarnation – I’ve always known we’ve been here before and that we’ll be back again and never quite understood how heaven and hell worked and how only certain groups could get to heaven as they were the ‘right’ religion which made absolutely no sense. Yet what a lot of the teaching on reincarnation has missed is the purpose of it, and without responsibility we miss that, we are here to evolve and come back to the love we are, and each life offers us an opportunity to understand and live this more deeply. Life is indeed about evolution not how it looks on the outside.
I was brought up a Catholic and have to admit I bought into the teachings of heaven and hell, although as a child I was very scared of the concept of hell. However as I grew older I knew that the teachings felt all wrong as did many other religious teachings too. The concept of reincarnation as it was presented, coming back as an animal, or whatever, seemed totally non-sensical and I couldn’t get a handle on it. To finally not only understand with my head, but know from my body that I have had many lives with the only outcome being evolution back to soul does make sense to me. To anyone closed down to feeling the truth from the body this may seem equally as ludicrous, but once felt it can’t be denied, especially when you experience memories from previous incarnations through the body.
Yes Michelle, when we connect to and feel the truth of reincarnation life makes sense and the biggest thing for me to feel and know with this is that we are loved to such a degree that we are offered life after life until we come back to the love we all innately are – this is the true gift of karma and reincarnation.
Lovely Monica. Yes we are given the gift of free will – to separate if we want to, and then the gift of karma and reincarnation to support us back to the free will choice of soul once we have chased our tails for many hundreds of lives, gone round in many circles making the same old choices, until one day we say “I can’t do this any more” because the hurts have so accumulated and we start to make some different choices!
Monica when we look at it this way “Life is indeed about evolution not how it looks on the outside” we can see how far humanity has dropped away from their purpose and the natural cycles of the universe. We are living in disconnection not just from ourselves but from everything.
It’s a huge wake-up call for us Melinda to see and feel how far we’ve lost our way that the natural and loving way we come from is now considered foreign by many. Life is about evolution and reincarnation and karma are the grace we all are part of which keeps saying to us ever and always you are love and you will have every opportunity to live that love. And yet even this glorious teaching and it’s true purpose has been distorted – we’re living in disconnection from the all. And yet the all is forever calling us back, and never gives up on us, so now we are all offered another opportunity to reconnect with the true teachings and Universal Medicine offers to us a known and ageless wisdom we’ve been ignoring for aoens but that we all know. We deeply know and as each of us allows ourselves to feel and honour that wisdom there is more love for all of us to access in the world.
Anonymous this is GOLD and something everything can relate to I had exactly the same similar thoughts as you when I was a child growing up. It is insidious really how our life and the true cycle of evolution has been bastardised. Reincarnation also brings it back to responsibility .. the choices we choose and live, or how traumas in past lives can be brought into the next. We have so much to heal and learn. Universal Medicine is the only organisation and body I know that truly understand about these cycles and energy and are dedicated to waking up humanity. This is so true ‘Through the teachings on karma and reincarnation as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, it became clear I had been short-changed – the versions I had been given so far were a far cry from the intricate and precise science that I heard when attending Universal Medicine presentations.’
I agree Vicky, there is much we must heal and re-learn this life time, not from the attitude that there is something wrong with us that needs to fixed but from a knowing that we are already complete, amazing, loving beings.
What we support in this world is what we will get. If not this lifetime, then the next. We will be the offspring of our grandchildren generation. What we leave for them, we leave in truth for us. Realizing and accepting this truth will let us act more responsible with this word. Interesting that we were able to avoid this knowing for so long… to take responsibility must be a real horror for us.
Anyway it is there, if we deny it or not and Karma is calling us when its time – what lies in delaying? We buy us time – for what? This life? Cancer, diabetes, eating disorders, depression, diseases in any way, desperation, war between countries, groups or in our family, heedlessness with each other, abuse, disharmony, marine pollution, contamination, nuclear waste – to name just a few attractions we have made of the world we lived in – AND WE WILL COME BACK TOO! Ha!
We play a game that we can’t win. To give up on the game but claim back our knowing of reincarnation, taking our responsibility, is the way. Not against each other or in any competition – only together we will make it.
So well said Sandra.
Your comment is full of truth Sandra. When I read it I really feel how the joke is really on us (although ironically we are the joker too) as we play this irresponsible game we cannot win. Your line ‘What we leave for them, we leave in truth for us.’ sums it up in a nutshell. We cannot escape our choices – no even by dying!
Yes – no escaping at the end. Sooner or later we all end up in this dead end of illusion and have to turn around. OR we choose to turn around now….simple choices: Love now or later?!
Absolutely spot on Sandra, we can only make it together, unified as one, its time for humanity to unify as one bring all our wisdom and collaborate into bringing love and harmony back. Not from any ideals, pictures or utopian dream, but from a very real and practical way of living, starting with our bodies and taking love and tender care of them, then allowing that to flow our to others and all areas of our lives, as Serge Benhayon lives and presents ‘The way of the livingness’.
Reincarnation means that we are accountable and that there is a consequence to every thought and action. I can see why I did not want to fully grasp the idea when I first contemplated it. Since I have become more responsible about how I behave and how it impacts not only myself but also everyone around me, the idea of coming back makes perfect sense and I no longer have a fear of dying. It’s funny that when I wasn’t enjoying life very much I was terrified of dying. Now that I am living a fuller more loving life, that fear has gone.
I agree Debra – I love the understanding that we are coming back – it all makes so much sense to me and feels true. If Humanity accepted this as truth the level of responsibility in the choices that we make, may then be about love of all and not about self. Thanks Debra for making this topic so easy to understand.
Very true Christine, the fact of reincarnation stops the ill notion that life is all about ourselves and bettering our life’s, which up until meeting Serge Benhayon had been the way I had been living, which was very lonely, isolating myself from humanity, my life is becoming far richer since I have started to slowly embrace humanity.
That’s right Debra – Reincarnation does bring a form of accountability that most would rather bury and not face. – but if we can see accountability as our own support for our evolution, and an education and learning, not about blame and punishment then everything could change.
Absolutely Annie, if we change the way in which we view life, that we are here to evolve and expand our bodies back to the love that we are, then the responsibility of reincarnation and the accountability it asks of us is a very supportive and amazing thing.
When I first heard about reincarnation it was convenient to dismiss it as I didn’t like the idea of coming back. Life felt hard and I didn’t want to do it all again, and again. Since becoming more aware of my behaviours and patterns, I am seeing that reincarnation is a gift. We get to come back and learn the lessons we have not yet embraced. I see it playing out in this life where until I deal with an issue, it keeps re-presenting itself over and over again. Once way to look at this is to say, ‘oh no, not the same issue?’ My attitude now is that I get another chance to heal the things I have left unresolved, and if I don’t do it this time, it will certainly come around again.
Debra that fact that things continually come around and present again shows us that we are held by a power much greater than own own, a power that organises and knows in intricate detail who and where we are in relation to evolution. We are known, cared for and never alone. That is something to truly appreciate and feel immense awe for. Love is the great organiser.
I know exactly what you mean Debra. I only allowed myself to feel the truth of reincarnation when the ‘injustice’ I could see in the world became too much to bear. I knew deep within that there was no way to ‘get away with it’ yet I saw examples of this everywhere. Reincarnation explains it all and allows me to bring far more responsibility to my actions. It is worth evolving until our ‘last’ breath as it won’t be long until we are taking another one.
It is a great way to view it Debra, that we get another opportunity to deal with our issues and or hurts again and again, in this life if we choose or in our next life, to be completely honest I sometimes choose to stay in my hurts and drama in life, by not choosing the love and support that is there, so the fact that we get another chance to relive and experience the same stuff over and over again is actually a very loving and amazing opportunity for us.
What a cracker that we deny reincarnation because we don’t want to feel our irresponsible way of living!
That’s so true and then we also deny that’s why we deny it!
Yes David, this game of denying seems endless – thank God for our body who reflects the truth to us and calls us back.
Yes amazing how much we have chosen to deny reincarnation knowing deep down that when we acknowledge its truth we must then begin to truly live responsibly. It’s quite the absurd deception and one that keeps us in a perpetual state of never truly evolving back to who we truly are.
It is Jade, and there are so many sayings out there to support irresponsibility like ‘not here for a longtime but a good time’ and many more that focuses on running the body into the ground, not from a purpose but from running with the beliefs that we don’t come back.
By the fact that through reincarnation we are continually given another opportunity, we are continually given the chance to learn what this life is all about and who we are.
Beautifully said Shami, and amazing really how we are given such grace in life.
Anonymous, I remember hearing about reincarnation and seeing pictures explaining this, but it all felt a bit out there, I couldn’t relate to it and it didn’t really make sense, hearing reincarnation presented by Serge Benhayon makes complete sense and is very relatable.
Something can sound completely different when it’s explained in a simple and succinct way, rather than made complicated and in an non relatable way.
“Reincarnation is a very direct and Universal science” this is so very true for me, from what I have learnt from listening to Serge Benhayon about reincarnation, I have been able to relate to my own behaviour, my own experiences and connect with utter simplicity the process of reincarnation to how I live, the feelings I have about my actions and the responsibility that goes with accepting we live countless lives and that we have many choices to make that shape the energy we live these lives in and the impact we have on all life.
Great sharing Anonymous, I love how you shared how ‘The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance’. It is amazing when we look at and consider that there is a higher order to everything and that everything happens for a reason. It is very humbling to view life this way as it shows that there is much more at play than we think there is.
For me, this understanding removes a lot of the fear and emotion that I otherwise have gotten caught up in.
Great line to pull out James – I love this. To think that we are not part of this divine order is to deny our own truth.
Awesome Anonymous – I too was always a bit confused by the heaven and hell story of death – and when I was introduced to reincarnation it made so much more sense – to me I have been to places, met people or had to work on stuff that cannot be from this lifetime. If we look at life without this understanding, then not only does it become an unordered mess, but we get totally free with taking responsibility and looking at the choices we are making.
Not accepting our responsibility in each life to what we experience in this one and the next really does seem to provide a ‘get out of jail free’ card, however we never truly get away with this because whether or not we choose to accept the true meaning of reincarnation does not stop the fact that it exists.
I agree -It is the same as how we all continue as normal with the rate of illness and disease as it is, and the rates of crime and assault and war etc and still call ourselves an advanced and intelligent species, not wanting to see the rot and the mess we are in – but it does not make it go away. The same goes for reincarnation – we can discredit it, or just never consider it, but in the end your choices have an impact one way or another.
This is important to express Rebecca and it is in the feeling and the movements through the body that we can start to make those gentle steps to a more responsible life. I feel this is pertinent to highlight if one wonders how to take the next step..”I have felt in my body, patterns that I know go deeper than just this life. In truth it is great to feel these patterns as by being more aware of them we are more able to deal with and break any unhealthy thought configurations or behaviors that are in fact eons old.” Feeling those patterns in the body supports us to identify unloving choices we have made in the past.
I agree – and it also helps us work through the issues we have that are hard to deal with because we can’t really work out where they come from – but having the understanding of reincarnation we can begin to see how patterns carry over through lives.
I agree Rowena – imagine a world built on the knowing the we reincarnate and the effect our choices would have – so much would change. But as I have always felt, whats wrong with just entertain the idea – to get people to begin to be more responsible – its only going to have good effects whether you believe there is anther life after this or not. Imagine nor corruption or crime or rude people, because everyone respects the responsibility needed to reincarnate without having to learn from those choices that ill effected others.
Yes karma is grace given to us by God not a curse or condemnation.
So beautifully said Doug, karma or the science of cause and effect is the proof of God’s love for us. We can never be lost to him, there is always a path of return for us.
Yes Judith, when we look at reincarnation in that way we get to feel the blessing that is presented to us to return to the love that we innately know we come from.
Everything we do is a cycle. Life is a wheel that we can live it with it laying on the ground and just keep repeating the same choices life after life and never go anywhere, or we stand up the wheel and move forward with every cycle.
Brilliant Steve! When it’s lying down, we are the ones walking round in circles yet when the wheel is upright (due entirely to our choices) the wheel of life is the part that is moving while we walk steadily on the top in one place with the future coming towards us. We have a clear view and can see what is ahead, making adjustments where necessary to continue expanding the view.
What an awesome analogy Steve and wonderfully explained Lucy. This one will stick as I go through life’s situations.
This science of reincarnation offers a totally different approach to trauma or traumatic situations. It takes away the victim-consciousness and empowers all of us to stand up to our true might: We have the power to heal what we ourselves created in the first place.
So true Felix. Reincarnation – True freedom and true responsibility in one perfect divine packet!
This is absolutely true Felix and there can be no blame when we understand we created that which we are now faced with in life.
So very true Felix, by accepting the fact of reincarnation it completely removes any idea’s or notions that bad things just happen in ones life, and gives us the opportunity to make more loving choices for ourselves by taking absolute responsibility for our actions and choices, its super empowering and removes any blame or judgment from situations where we feel others have been hurtful or abusive to us, as it brings understanding to all situations.
Yes Felix, it’s possible for all therapies to one day be based on truth and the energetic sciences, making our approach to trauma and illness one that is evolving.
We do Felix and then we have the choice to no longer create these unloving choices thereafter.
I agree Felix, when approached from the perspective of an eternal love, that is about our learning and returning to that same love. At times it becomes seen as a punishment, which cements the false concept that divinity is some who vengeful and spiteful and petty.
Anonymous I love this line ‘The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance’, it really supports me to let go of my habit of trying to maneuver the people around me into set positions. Quite ridiculous really when I glimpse the enormity and grandness of the matrix of life. God has everything covered to the minutest detail and there I am trying to shove everyone around with brute force. All that I do is incur the natural repercussions that controlling others attracts. It really does all boil down to looking after my patch of me and only that. Responsibility to self and leaving the rest to God, he really has got it all covered.
I love and appreciate the honesty in your comments Alexis, and can very much relate to what you are sharing about trying to control other people in my life and control life in general, I do this when I lose connection with myself and don’t trust myself and my connection to my body, then don’t trust others and try to control them, all quite crazy really, when all I need to do is build a deep trust and connection to my own body.
This is so beautifully, and honestly described, thank you Alexis. I was also drawn to ponder this in regards to trying to control and maneuver others..”Likewise we can commit to dealing with our karma / past choices and watch as things come up and out to be exposed for us. Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.” And isn’t this desire to have it all look so perfect on the outside so we can be more accepted by the world and feel safer? This is merely one of the reasons why we try so hard to control and maneuver others. There are many more to explore.
Irena I love what you have shared and agree that we all invest so heavily on having everything looking so slick on the outside when our insides are an absolute shambles.
And to add Irena to what you so rightly say, not only is ‘evolution about truth’ but ‘truth is about evolution’.
So true Alexis. We don’t need to control, we simply need to allow and accept what is there. Knowing that if we trust we will be taken care of and that we are part of a greater plan.
Lee I know what you share is very true, I still struggle at times with what feels like a force within me to manipulate my environment. I read an amazing article recently called ‘The need to control v’s self responsibility’ and this has supported me to realise that I am controlling others in order to not have to deal with my feelings of discomfort that arise when things don’t happen the way that I think they should.
Reincarnation makes sense to me, it offers true purpose and meaning to what we bring and offer to ourselves and humanity. There is a point to living this life with integrity and responsibility.
I absolutely agree Sandra and in the light of what you say here I find this section of the blog very sobering to contemplate..” We can choose to deal with our past choices and our karma or we can push them away or avoid them, so it may look like we are having a great time, great house, great career etc., but all the while our unloving choices are burying themselves deeper and deeper, waiting for a more intense outcome either in this lifetime or the next.” What have I been burying to date?
Sandra, I totally agree. With all of the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom showing us we are responsible for our choices, there is no ‘getting away with it’ or ‘short cuts’, understanding reincarnation and karma has completely changed the meaning of integrity.
The power of responsibility is huge Anonymous, thanks for adding this to the understanding of reincarnation. Responsibility, brings with it the ultimate expression of love, the ability and freedom to make any choice we like, but to never be free from the responsibility for that choice, so quickly or eventual we learn what is and isn;t loving and true.
Very true Joel, responsibility or lack of, has an instant affect on our bodies and others around us, we are given the freedom and grace to make whatever choices we like, but we always have the full responsibility for these choices, any choice that is not loving impacts upon our life’s and is shown to us by our bodies when they get unwell, therefore our bodies are our greatest guide and friend as they never lie, always reflecting the truth and responsibility of our choices.
Responsibility brings the ultimate expression of love……..how often do we get caught up in the momentum of our life and fall into habitual patterns and behaviours driven by belief sand ideals and not stop to feel the responsibility in every moment. I can feel the immense waste of time I have allowed in not choosing love in every moment, making it my first choice, by not stopping to check-in with the intention or purpose of what is taking place. It is too easy in the moment to shift responsibility, or to ignore responsibility in any given moment. Eventually we do learn what is and isn’t love, which leaves me wondering why we don’t stop to choose love every time.
Love without free will – is that still love? If we say that love is only love when it grants free will, then it is loving ask those who have free will to be responsible. If they are not responsible, would it be useful if there would be consequences?
This is very clearly explained and this..”I now know karma is not what we get sent from some judgmental and resentful God. Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.” It is how harmony and balance is restored.
‘it is how harmony and balance is restored.” – there are so many different ways of viewing this process of rebalancing. I had always expected it to be about me ‘serving my time”, but the truth is, we can live full, joyful lives and be rebalancing at the same time.
I love this too Irena. A beautiful explanation of karma and our responsibilities.
“To never be free from the responsibility of our choices.”
Joel to share this widely in our lives is a gift we can offer all others as, once understood, it explains everything in our lives.
Yes, yikes! It is folly to think, I’ll just clean up my mess tomorrow – I’m just making it hard for myself and causing suffering, for each unloving choice is never not my responsibility to address.
The avoidance of responsibility is one of the oldest forms of escaping in life. This behaviour starts at a very young age and becomes ‘normal’ if we allow it. Hence the importance of including discipline (not violence) in our parenting. If we grew up knowing and having experienced negative consequences as a result of our ill choices and behaviours, then we would be much more inclined to take responsibility as adults.
The only thing we are ever being asked to do is to be love. Simple. That is our job, our responsibility. And reincarnation is the chances we are being given repeatedly to become a master of it, and is the ultimate expression of love itself.
What is more interesting is what we then bring to the responsibility, the guilt/burden that current religions place expect of us, the purpose and drive to get it right from the education system, or the big warm blanket of non judgmental, allowing of our learning process that is it
This is free will, we can choose whatever we want but we can never escape the full responsibility of that choice and reincarnation ensures that this responsibility continues.
It is true Joel, and then their is the JOY if actually living this true. A truth that we are actually SONS OF GOD and we are here to live this simple fact.
It is the lesson of our world Joel thank you, to learn what is and isn’t loving. When we are cut off from our awareness about death and re-incarnation, we are denied the real education we are here to receive, so putting re-incarnation back under our noses is very needed. I know I have lived many lives in many different cultures as I seek to understand, know and embody love once more lifetime after lifetime. There is so much for us to become aware of, celebrate and embody when we truly embrace the fact that we return again and again to this world in order to learn who and what we are and to live life in accordance with our graceful, humble divinity and in deep connection to one another as the one family we are.
A human consciousness is an immensely complex thing. If it can be made portable (exist outside a body) it would make perfect sense to have it go from body to body until the consciousness learns not to be destructive any more. Much easier than creating something vastly complex for each new body.
I love this concept Christoph and it makes so much sense. From what I see in the world there will be quite a few bodies required before we learn to not be so destructive.
So true Christoph, it would be incredible if this complexity would be created from the ground up. There is a great science behind life that is learning us to come back to the simplicity of our soul.
Re-incarnation makes absolute sense to me too. We need to know there are consequences to our behaviours and the choices we make otherwise, many of us do not make responsible choices. Many people do not want to believe in re-incarnation as they do not want the responsibility that goes along with this knowing.
Reincarnation offers us much in the learning of living life through responsibility and choice. It yields us much expansion through our commitment to learn from our past choices and to make anew.
To make life about quality, our quality, is our greatest responsibility. To live in a way that this quality is in our presence within all that we do, think and say is the ultimate responsibility we hold as from here we reflect in full to everyone else that we are divine Son’s of God and are in fact, all one and the same.
Responsibility is the key to us knowing, understanding and claiming our reincarnations in full and yes including the very fact the reincarnation is an actual fact for us all. I too grew up with a religious education on heaven and hell, something which didn’t make sense to me and the big one that ‘being good’ was the way to live and to be to ‘get us successfully through life’. I know now that this is a big load of rubbish as ‘being good’ without any ounce of energetic truth, integrity or responsibility is actually pure evil in itself because it is a lie; at the expense of oneself and thus all others.
“Someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices” – absolutely. What I have experienced is that when our life is obviously a misery, a clearly a ‘hell’, we know it’s not working and we want to get out of it – so this type of hell is not so bad and actually doesn’t really qualify as hell in my view; but there is another type of hell where we do not know we are in, and we actually often think we have got it ok so we would not dream of changing it not realizing that what we are doing is basically numbing our senses and killing our potentials, so we keep perpetuating it. So the real hell is a self-sustained trap where we do not know we are in it, and we often call that life.
The science of Reincarnation is the science of responsibility, we have a lot to be accountable for and every choice makes a difference to our evolution and that of others.
Life is an opportunity to either burying ourselves deeper in illusion and individual creation, or realise we were never really meant to settle in here, and begin our relationship with our evolving co-creative way.
Purpose is restored when we work together toward our return.
“We can choose to deal with our past choices and our karma or we can push them away or avoid them, so it may look like we are having a great time, great house, great career etc., but all the while our unloving choices are burying themselves deeper and deeper, waiting for a more intense outcome either in this lifetime or the next.” It is so easy if things are going well for us, to think we are having a great life, with all the great comforts available that we would ever want, being distracted by all the hype and entertainment available now, and all the great holidays, world travel, etc. that might be available to the family, but that tends to separate us from what is truly going on in the world. It builds the self-satisfaction within us, we are alright, others might be doing it tough, but we are okay. But how damaging in truth this is to us, when we have a responsibility to be part of the whole world, living with understanding and compassion for what else is going on in the world. This great comfort can take us away from a true connection with ourselves, take us away from building a body of love, bringing true love into all our relationships, within the family and outside in the world with all that we interact with in our daily lives. This can be so damaging to our following lives to come, building more karma that has to eventually be dealt with.
Bringing clarity and truth back to the words Karma, Reincarnation and Evolution…. what a joy. Thank you Anonymous.
When I was growing up the concept of karma, heaven and hell all came with whether I was being ‘good’ or not. I didn’t realise the true evil of being good until I encountered Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. When we learn to see and appreciate life as an opportunity to evolve, death and reincarnation make sense, and responsibility stops being a scary, heavy word we take and avoid.
A very insightful blog, thank you Anonymous, I relate very much to the following, “I realised the missing link to what I had been taught before was responsibility, and how the quality in which we choose to live each life affects our next and that the quality in which we live and pass over in this life is what prepares the quality for our next. Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.” Yes, it was when Serge Benhayon explained a little about reincarnation that I came to understand far more what it truly is. When responsibility was shared with us, the responsibility to heal our past hurts, and to live in a truly loving quality in this life with energetic responsibility, to prepare ourselves for the following life to come, the quality of which would depend on the quality in which we are when we pass over. Responsibility is key to reincarnation so eventually we can all return together to the grandeur that we once were. What an incredible universal science this is, so absolutely beautiful.
I love this blog Anonymous. Life is a continuum; an ever evolving cycle and the law of cause and effect governs us all equally. How fast we choose to evolve and expand (for all) is in our every choice and this determines what we are bringing toward us.
When we know we are coming back, there are no issues in life. There cannot be any arguments or conflicts with anyone—as we will see them again and would have to deal with whatever is unresolved between us if we had conflicts. There cannot be any drive in whatever we do—as nothing is ever finished, everything builds on the next in quality and not quantity. There cannot be any judgements or regrets–as what we see is a point in the grand scheme of evolution rather than one isolated event. There cannot be any holding back—for that would directly impact on how free we can come back as ourselves and whether we come back to a world which allows truth to be expressed or not. Responsibility is the new black when we know we are coming back.
And so empowering too Katie. It provides a purpose to and understanding of my life.
‘I did notice however, that someone could create heaven or hell on earth for themselves, or other people, depending on their personal life choices.’
This is so true Anonymous and very obvious when we observe humanity at large. There are vast differences in how some are living, but no matter what a life may look like, rich or poor, it can still be Heaven or hell in action. I think this duality is how we are with ourselves, at we at war with how we are and thus causing hell in life or are we attuned and aware of the bigger picture of our grandness and walking that on earth, heavenly so.
‘The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance’ This to me sums up what reincarnation is about. We are all responsible for the choices we make to maintain the order of the universe and when we stray from this, we are eventually held responsible for the correction that is needed.
I love reincarnation; it offers new beginnings, new choices, reflection, purpose, responsibility, and evolution. It’s a loving offering to walk our steps again until we get it right.
Karma is all about love. It brings up everything that we can choose to deal with to return to a deeper love. Accepting the responsibility of karma brings home the true meaning of reincarnation, which has no heavy connotations when lived with responsibility, because it is an opportunity to re-correct, lovelessness into deeper love for everyone of us.
From the outside, life all looks pretty unfair and unjust when the fact of reincarnation is left out of the picture. Life isn’t something we get dished up at a buffet, there is no ‘first in best dressed’ – life is responsibility and how much we have lived that to what we reincarnate with to deliver to humanity or clear.
Every time we return we get a chance to evolve and deepen our connection with all. I have often heard people mention that it is their last life… but what I can feel is their lack of commitment to brotherhood. We are all in this together and the more we feel the depth of love we have for our brothers the more willing we are to return to them.
..and without this true connection and purpose, life indeed can be mundane and lacking the joy of brotherhood. We are here to support each other on our return, living and expressing the truth of who we are… ever expanding.
“The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance.” We only need to stop and feel the order that exists there in nature that surrounds us to feel the truth in your statement. I agree Anonymous, and what happens after death also is not left to chance, that just doesn’t make sense. Reincarnation is a natural flow of order – also a karmic cycle of responsibility.
Heaven and hell are what can be lived here on earth, this is not something that happens in our after life. There is only one life and that life is what we are living right now. And that same quality that we are living right now will be taken into our next life. Therefore, we can choose to live with a quality which is heavenly here on earth right now, or choose a quality in which it feels like hell. The choice is always ours.
Exactly Donna. To imagine that a Big Judge will consign us to a box of either ‘heaven’ or ‘hell ‘after death is totally giving away our self-responsibility. We ourselves through our choices determine what state we say ‘yes’ to, and this is what leads us ‘Home’ . . . or not.
I love this topic and I love this blog. Karma is common sense. ‘Karma is about being offered another choice: it is about learning to be responsible for our choices, and from this, evolving and healing.’ And well … reincarnation is practical. You don’t experience life as this extraordinary being in a body and then simply dissolve. We are born again and again into a body to evolve but who we are is more than flesh. We are eternal.
I agree Kathryn, when I was young it never made sense to me when I was told that ‘I would live then I would die and if I was naughty I would go to hell and if I was good I would go to heaven.’ I learnt from the catholic girls college I attended. Even though I knew it was not true I had no-one to back me on this so would spend endless hours freaking out on this possibility. How can the catholic church see that putting the ‘fear of God’ into children supports them to become responsible adults?
I totally agree Mary-Louise. The ‘fear of God’ mentality is not inspirational at all. Being frightened doesn’t make us more responsible in life it makes us less willing to participate.
Agree Kathryn fear makes us feel frozen in our bodies and unable to move forward. Putting the fear of God onto people is a conscious ploy by the catholic church to keep them under their control.
Great point Mary-Louise, this whole concept that fear and intimidation and control is needed to keep people in line and make them cooperate is wrong. We have an innate knowing that we are all connected with each other and harmony is very natural for us. So if we let a person be they will naturally find the way back to their divinity and as you say, all this control and fear is just there to keep us from connecting to those innate qualities.
How many people are clear about Reincarnation and karma – I certainly wasn’t. Having always been told “What you give out you get back twofold” and like your version Anonymous of going to hell or heaven was a constant ‘story’ being fed at every opportunity or prayer said in church. Possibly this is why I switched off as what I was presented with did not feel like the truth. Would it not be a wonderful thing if this was taught/presented to us as children and not having a bombardment of fictional stories thrust upon us and our little minds running riot and having the odd nightmare. (which I did) But, instead learning about true responsibility and what choices we make in this life can either ‘evolve and heal’ us or ‘numb and distract’ our next of many lifetimes to come.
Love what you say Anonymous ‘ Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.’
I love this line also, the fact the Evolution is about truth, and not what life looks like on the outside completely exposes all the pictures and images we hold about life looking a certain way. This brings a deeper understanding and acceptance of what we experience in life. There can be no judgement if this is truly understood.
Thank you for re-stating that Jenny, I felt it profoundly in my body :’Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside’.
Fantastic blog Anonymous! I grew up in a religion that believes in re-incarnation, but the way it was presented wasn’t calling me into responsibility at all, it was just a mind concept that did not give my life more purpose. I remember asking what the purpose was of coming back again and again and again and where we were heading as this endless coming back and living again until eternity did not make sense to me and it felt quite daunting.
Yes Judith rebirth without true purpose doesn’t make sense and feels almost unbearable. Knowing that there is divine purpose in re-turning deepens our appreciation for what is here on offer. The choice to choose love and awaken.
Responsibility is the ultimate in empowerment Judith and this too was left out of my catholic upbringing. It is like we were faced West to see the sunrise when the truth was in the East! It did not make sense to be facing the wrong way. Once facing truth concepts such as reincarnation is super empowering, not misunderstood conundrums!
Great comments – I love that life has no mystery now, after hearing Serge Benhayon speak about some of it’s intricate and specific workings, it’s all so formulated and nothing is left to randomisation. Divine purpose is here and we can live that now, as we always have been able too. This makes life so rich!
It also pulls us into responsibility, we now cannot shrug our shoulders and say that is “bad luck” or “not my fault” or even saying it is “karma” without comprehending the full meaning of this word.
The Way of the Livingness asks us to be responsible for everything that happens in our life, that is a great call but also a very empowering and loving one and as you say it holds all the true richeness a life can have.
This is a truly awesome blog, Anonymous. What you have shared is about true responsibility for everything we do in every part of our life and everything makes perfect sense.
This introduces the concept of comparison and actually reveals how pointless it truly is to compare with another as it is all about choices and hence the way to change our lives in-truth is actually through changing the quality of our choices
If we truly understood the nature of evolution and our relationship with it, there would be no comparison, no judgment, no jealousy, rather a deeper love and understanding of each other and how we each can support one another to know and live in brotherhood again.
“Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside.” That goes on my mirror for the coming weeks.
Me too Monika! It’s so true, that we can make life look a certain way the portrays the image of a good and honest life. But if it’s not about evolution, I know for me, it still feels void and empty. Sure, we can get taken by comfort and think that we don’t have to do anything, but the pull and tension to evolve is a constant call.
Great reminder the pull and tension to evolve is constant there and we have to actually put in effort to deny that and prevent this natural flow.
Dear Anonymous, thank your for writing this beautiful blog. From the first to the last sentence this blog resonates within me. It’s giving Life Purpose. For everyone. The main reason we are here is to evolve and in order to evolve we are to live a responsible life in order to be more and more love which enables us to see and feel more and more unloving patterns and behaviours. It is indeed a magnificent Science. A science full of wonderment and True Power. It’s also giving me a possibility to connect to people and allow, accept and understand why people do the horrible things that they sometimes do.
Well said Floris, Reincarnation gives life purpose and helps us understand many of the human behaviours that we have.
It also supports me more and more to accept that I am indeed Love and that I am to come back to me. And that no matter what happens, I am responsible for dealing with it. My protective shield goes instantly into hardness and protection and from there I blame and project my own hurts onto others. It’s terrible on one hand to admit, but also – as I’m more understanding and knowing of the science – I am much more willing to accept the responsibility that I have. Which in itself is super wonderful and something I appreciate.
True Floris, understanding reincarnation does give ” Life Purpose”. And I love how you express the wonderment of this science and the opportunity it offers for greater understanding of ourselves and others.
Your Love for Humanity and understanding of the science is beautiful to feel from your words Sandra. I love the deep nurturing that stems from your words; like a bath I could surrender to. It’s lovely to be held, I feel like I do not have to pretend and for a moment (or longer) I can let go if I so choose. I love to be Truly understood.
A superb blog on karma and reincarnation, thank you Anonymous.
Karma and reincarnation as so many other words have been made into a convenient truth, not telling us the whole and thus letting us live in irresponsibility as we seemingly can pick and choose in what to belief and what not.
Greatly expressed Esther! Life is not a shopping mall where we can have our pick, life is a science that we can adhere to or ignore, however it will always play out in accordance to the laws of the universe.
Against the image of life ending and everything stopping, reincarnation brings forth the fact that we do not stop moving.
Well said Eduardo. Reincarnation is a sign that we never stop moving, it is just a question of ‘how do we move?”
Through our choices in life all we do is setting up the roadmap of our next life and deciding what sill we have to learn and in what terms. Setting the agenda of the future is up to us, hence it is our responsibility what is in the dinner plate.
There is a sea of difference between believing in reincarnation and understanding it as a part of the science of life.
Thats a powerful line Eduardo, I could feel how believing but not understanding it, is a way not to live it, and not to live it, is a way to avoid it, and in turn, a sneaky way we avoid responsibility, Makes me think of the saying ‘ignorance is bliss’….a crude line aimed at making irresponsibility ok.
Totally Eduardo! Knowing reincarnation as a precise science of energy means that one cannot but help begin to make wiser choices and so contribute to the evolution of humanity back to where we originally came from.
‘Believing’ in reincarnation could be a bit a a fantasy land check-out.
Well said Eduardo, the understanding and living according to its science is what makes all the difference to reincarnation versus it being a mental concept that is discussed but never adhered to life.
Karma could be a bit like the credit card bill you get at the end of the month except that you may not know what is in the bill you have to deal with and why is it there in the first place.
It’s ironic how our view of death, has been holding us back from living life. You might think that being here ‘one off’ basis would give us great freedom and good feeling to branch out – yet my experience is the opposite. We move around trapped and confused by beliefs and undercurrents of behaviours we don’t fully understand. Reincarnation offers us the ability to comprehend that the universe and we all are amazingly grand.
Yes Joseph, “our view of death, has been holding us back from living life”. Without a true sense of responsibility it is easy to get stuck in a comfortable rut that is all about me, myself and I. From this self-made prison we think we are making a better life for ourselves but are blinkered to the vast potential that we are capable of expanding into.
“We move around trapped and confused by beliefs and undercurrents of behaviours we don’t fully understand” – this is so true. Everything about us and our life – the personality, the circumstances we are born into, our heath… can only be seen as accidental and we just see ourselves as a poor victim if we see ourselves as less fortunate than some.
A friend spoke of what she had observed in a younger relative, when at two she asked for a penny when we lived in a dollar and cents currency and she had no way of having heard this phrase. I also remember thinking at the age of about 14 that I wanted to get it this time round as I didn’t want to go through education again – and I absolutely knew this was not the first time I had rolled around on this planet and it wouldn’t be my last. What I love about what you have shared here is how important the quality we live our days in is what will determine everything. True power in the hands of each and everyone of us.
“We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that it is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.” I saw this with my close relatives passing, they were literally clearing everything lived that had been in opposition to their truly divine sweet nature and to feel their essence on their death bed was one of the most confirming moments of my life. Truly beautiful.
Anonymous I share your unshakeable knowing that reincarnation is indeed a fact of life, it makes so much sense.
Isn’t it wonderful to have had the explanations from Serge Benhayon regarding reincarnation. It all makes such sense for me now, it completely resonates in my body. it is a very deep knowing now, as you say, is unshakeable, once I truly know it in my body that is it. It explains all that is going on in life, it is all part of the beautiful plan God has for us, over a number of lifetimes we each will be returning to the exquisite loving beings that we truly are, Sons of God, until one day we will all move on, back to what we originally left, aeons ago. Knowing this brings such an amazing vibration to my body.
Faith is not blind, quite the opposite in fact.
This understanding of reincarnation and karma makes total sense to me too. Coming around again and again gives us the opportunity to re-imprint and correct any past ill choices as well as grow and expand on the loving ones.
Me too Fiona, I feel it’s an incredibly beautiful offering that we are given.
Thank you Anonymous for such a clear sharing on Reincarnation. I agree until I met Serge Benhayon and his Presentations of reincarnation I was a little off track too. It has always made sense to me that reincarnation is truly how it is for us as humanity, how else could we evolve and grow as we are meant to without all having the same opportunity to do so here on Earth?
Great Blog Anonymous with lots to ponder on. Your comment – ‘Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived’, wow – big one and so it is for us all. What an opportunity to take responsibility for our choices and choose to deeply know the truth. As you have shared Anonymous – ‘The universe is such an ordered and intricate place where nothing is left to chance’
“By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.” So if we are avoiding the truth of reincarnation we are also avoiding this opportunity to speed up our evolution. We seem to have a fear that we will lose something but in actual fact we will just be gaining who we naturally are. However, it seems that the fear of losing our individuality and the things we are invested in is too great for many of us to face because, as you say Anonymous, it requires us to take responsibility for the choices we have made and when we do that we inevitably change.
The true responsibility we are all offered by reincarnation is one that is spherical and not where once we die that’s the end of the line, it is actually a new beginning. Life is lived in cycles and so all aspects of our living way allows us to make choices to learn and evolve.
Having reincarnation as a fact not only brings responsibility to our current life but explains many questions to why the world is the way it is .
I so agree, Luke, understanding reincarnation now lets me understand what life is all about. It answers that big question, “Why am I here, what on earth is life about?”. Many people come to that question late in their lives and never find a real answer. The explanations from Serge Benhayon have put it all into perspective for me, it is actually a glorious understanding. When we bring responsibility into the equation, all makes complete sense. We are here to learn from all our past wrong choices the first being to separate from God. We are here to learn to connect to our own innermost and make the discovery of the amazing well of love that exists there. We are to build our body to encompass that love, connecting deeply till we realise that we are a part of God, we are all sons of God. Living our lives from that knowing, that space, making the right choices, surrendering to God and living from the impulses that we receive through our connection, how amazing is it that we have this incredible opportunity to find our way back to what we chose in the past to separate from. We are to return to the great grandeur that we truly are.
Beautifully said Beverley ❤
“We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that it is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.” Much of today’s purpose is based on our achievements and forward driven goals – whereas if we were to embrace this purpose then life is no longer linear but unfolds around us.
The reintroduction of purpose to death is worthy of a conversation of its own. The Heaven and Hell model makes us fear death, scrabble and clutch to avoid it. Yet it cannot be avoided. Our lives end. How do we live them until that end? We have allowed death to degenerate into a graceless fight, that we always “lose”. Reincarnation restores grace, the grace of knowing that this exit precedes its next entrance ( with a head nodding to Shakespeare). How shall we exit? In the despair and given up quality that will usher in the next round? Or in the embracing of every lesson…evolving in every moment such that the next life is stepped into with evolution as its foundation?
Dear Rachel, I felt a sadness when I read your words because what you write is so true. We fear death and ageing so strongly that we lock away our elders as we dont want to see/know that it is going to happen to us and that is so deeply wrong. We have allowed death to degenerate into a graceless fight as you so eloquently writet. But reincarnation does indeed restore the grace and living a life of healing our past choices opens us up to the wisdom of ageing and discarding.
Your words make me consider something else Sarah. To discuss reincarnation can provoke judgement and insults…yet no one looks at the world we have made, with its misery in ageing and says “what an unholy mess….lets go back to the drawing board fellas!” I would say to anyone who thinks reincarnation is ridiculous, go and spend time in a nursing home and see what becomes people who were once strong and independent.
Then let us talk about it.
You have posed some great questions Rachel. Yes we do all die, so why do we fear it so much when it is the one guaranteed thing we will all experience? I have recently read interesting articles about people having a very beautiful and graceful ending to their lives. We can choose to die well and it’s definitely worth having discussions on this topic.
Incentive and absolute joy too Doug. With apologies to those so afflicted, I do not want to end my life in a haze of forgetfulness, contributing nothing to this world as I regress in my misery.
Especially when we are so worth knowing..to ourselves as much as everyone else.
“I have come to realise that each one of us is a collection of our previous lives lived and choices made.” I am seeing dominos rolling one into the next – its quite a momentum when we see it like this.
Isn’t it? And makes sense of why some hurts seem easier to let go of than others.
When I see the picture of the “dominos rolling one into the next” I can no longer deny the power of the responsibility that I have as to every single choice I make, and have ever made. Beautifully said Lucinda.
Absolutely Lucindag. Children say some absolute crackers. There is no doubt we have been here before.
This is one massive K A P O W of a blog Anonymous, thank you for your clarity, simply stunning!
“For me it makes sense that we bring through the way in which we last lived, as how we have chosen to live in our last life / lives directly impacts this one.” Just spend time connecting with a child, their wisdom and understanding is undeniably ancient – there is no doubt they have been here many times before.
‘Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.’ I agree, it’s a science and one that religions have either ignored or changed to suit their own ends. Responsibility is key to our understanding of Reincarnation. We have no physical proof, but held in our bodies there is a deeper understanding and knowing that makes sense.
“Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.” Totally agree Anonymous what Serge Benhayon presents cuts through the myths and ideologies that have cloaked the fact of reincarnation, a cycle that we innately know and that puts self responsibility back on the map.
Great blog Anonymous. A clear, succinct explanation of reincarnation and karma, and the need for us to take responsibility for the choices we make knowing the impact they have on this life and ones to come.
‘ When we know we are coming back, we can assess what it is we want to let go of, reflect more responsibly on our life lived, and review how we would make different choices, given that we will be doing it again………We can therefore use this life and our eventual dying as a time of great healing to leave behind all that it is not true, and confirm the love that we are, in preparation for the next.’ Awesome.
Children often have a strong sense of reincarnation. When I was a child I remember asking my mother why I wasn’t born in England. It felt very strange to me to be born into Australia – the buildings the land were all so different. Mum answered that she did not know why, but she knew that I was here now and that was what mattered!
A great blog Anonymous! An understanding of reincarnation is crucial to a balanced, purposeful and loving life. Through understanding that karma is God’s law of love we can understand why certain events or illness or accidents happen, giving us a chance to see the truth and choose more wisely. No wayward act is ‘scot-free’. Without knowing about re-incarnation life must seem so senseless.
Great blog Anonymous, it is a great freedom in a sense to know reincarnation and the true science behind, in starting to understand and feeling it more and more. There is a deep appreciation for this mechanism to exist, it gives us the responsibility for our own path, back to who we truly are.
I love that you are in appreciation for and owning the responsibility for your own evolution. Responsibility always felt like a heavy burden the way my parents presented it but now it feels like an acceptance of true service and this is so much lighter and yet more purposeful.
It does Helen, knowing the true meaning makes it so much lighter.
Anonymous a great blog on a topic close to my heart, having also been super confused about heaven / Hell or the possibility of coming back as a caterpillar its great to have clarity on reincarnation. As you say “Knowing the truth of reincarnation allows us to not only to take more responsibility for the way we are living in this life, but also to prepare for our next life and to be able to pass over in a more dignified way.”
The religion I grew up with (Roman Catholicism) wasn’t as clear cut as heaven and hell, there was a third option.. purgatory a place of atonement before you could go to heaven for those to good for heaven and not good enough for hell. I used to think this would be the worst place of all as I have never enjoyed the feeling of trying to prove myself good enough. None of it felt true although the concept of a true good and a deceptive bad always resonated with me.
Reincarnation gives meaning and understanding to life and a feeling of the continuity and purpose of life, thereby bringing with it a responsibility to ourselves and humanity as a whole, as to the choices we make in each and every life we live.
Reincarnation, the big ‘R’ word that many avoid….I have always had a deep knowing that reincarnation was true, and this knowing came from the innocence of the child within, that did not need any convincing or any argument to be put forth, it just is that, an absolute knowing we are more that this physical body, we are more than the eye can see, we are more than this one life.
Life without reincarnation does not add up, “It is not a belief, fantasy, or science fiction but a deep knowing in my body that we have all been here many times before.” I couldn’t agree with you more Anonymous. To understand that our choices and behaviours are all with us in every incarnation, has offered me an understanding of myself and others. I also know then, that we carry with us our fiery karma, puling us towards what we already have lived and know to be true – a very different understanding than the usual negative associations that the word Karma carries.
There can be no sympathy when we understand the responsibility of our choices, and the learning being offered to us life after life to develop this responsibility.
Yes Rosanna, the way reincarnation is presented by Serge Benhayon brings a deep meaning to it and it shows how we can build one life upon the next and how our commitment to life and to people are the true riches that we can actually take with us and build upon in our next life.
I didn’t connect to reincarnation until my thirties, but when I did everything slotted into place. Suddenly the world began to make more sense and it answered to why we are the way we are. Then when I met Serge Benhayon and listened to his presentations and teachings the world began to make absolute sense! I have truly understood how each moment impacts the next with each and every choice and how we are given the blessing of cycles and repetition to relearn, expand and grow back into our already existing grandness. Having felt my own grandness the key is to learn to live it, be with it and express it. I have been the master of holding this back, now to flip it!
Thank you Anonymous for a truly educational blog. I too never accepted the Heaven/Hell model because it fails to take into consideration all the variations of life and people’s expression. However when one learns about responsibility and continuity, then every thing makes sense. We are just walking from one life to the next, a bit like walking into different rooms in our house, we enter and leave with the same energy, same awareness and this is what determines how we behave and what we experience when we enter each room. Responsibility asks us to take care of the energy in which we choose to live and this is a very modern teaching with its roots in the ancient Ageless Wisdom. When we truly understand responsibility, it is easy to understand and appreciate the Karma, the law of cause and effect. I know now that each life time, in fact each day I am given the opportunity to heal my karma by taking energetic responsibility for myself. It is a work in progress but has by its very essence restored true purpose to my life and supports me to focus on the qualities that I wish to walk into my next life with. What a difference this would make to every child’s life to be taught about re-incarnation and our true responsibility as a matter of course, what different choices we offer our young when they are introduced to the bigger picture first and then how to truly live within it.
‘ Evolution is about truth, not what your life looks like on the outside’. Awesome reminder for me today , thank-you.
I know that I have certain feelings and certain behaviours that feel much much older than this life. In fact I can feel the momentum that I came in with into this life that has influenced how my life has gone. With this awareness it is then possible to put a stop to the momentum and make different choices. We do not have to be like a stuck record. We do have the power to break the cycle and heal.
I agree Rebecca I too can feel a momentum that I have been running with for longer than just this life – as Anonymous says “what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.”
Great blog Anonymous you really described karma and reincarnation in a way that makes sense. I had always known deep inside that we came back and that life on Earth was a school ground for learning, but what I did not realise was that Reincarnation = Responsibility and the level of harm we are capable of with both ourselves and each other.
So well written Anonymous. Bringing in the reality and the science of reincarnation opens up our understanding of life to include the bigger picture. Life then makes so much sense, and all our questions and puzzles are answered.
Anonymous this is a beautiful blog really bringing true understanding and acceptance of reincarnation and our responsibility. The truth offered to us by Serge Benhayon was the first time life made sense to me also and from here all else can be seen and healed within our lives as an opportunity and our evolution to confirm the love we are.
Karma is something that some of us can really understand and grasp, but many of us cannot quite get or accept as to truly accept that we will have some form of karma for every choice that we make requires us to take a lot of responsibility. Regardless of calling it ‘karma’ or not, we can learn to understand the ways of responsibility and how our actions affect others and will thus come back and affect us through relationships and various chains of events.
Anonymous, this is a great article, very inspiring, I love this, ‘By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.’ This makes life feel so much more purposeful; to evolve, to learn, to develop and to discard – very beautiful!
… and without this purpose we have irresponsibility, indulgence, greed, self, delay, illness, disease and an entire myriad of issues as a human race – simply because we deny the grandness we come from, and the Universality we belong to.
Karma and reincarnation always made sense to me but like you, Anonymous, there were aspects that just did not seem to fit and were not resolved until meeting Serge Benhayon. You have given here a beautiful and clear exposition of the science of karma and reincarnation, thank you.
Same for me Jonathan – understanding that it is all about living responsibly makes absolute sense.
Great writing Anonymous, it is rare to see reincarnation and karma explained in such detail, before Universal Medicine my grasp of what reincarnation or karma meant was vague and related to mystical occurrences, but in fact when we look at it as you have explained it is much more real and relatable to the lives we live and ultimately the choices we make.
““Could it be our karma to not consciously know about the fact of reincarnation simply because we have chosen to live irresponsibly and therefore have blocked seeing to what extent we are indeed energetically responsible?” (Teachings and Revelations, Serge Benhayon, page 356)” Great blog Anonymous, thankyou. Responsibility is the missing piece.
Thank you Anonymous for an easy to understand presentation of reincarnation and really a fuller meaning to life. With this true account and understanding of reincarnation, karma and responsibility it is much easier to grasp why the world and ourselves are like they are. Growing up I never doubted reincarnation and it was evident in myself and others in behaviours that there was more to life than I was told or could see. However until I met Serge Benhayon it didn’t fully make sense. All he presents on this super important part of life, as you say fills the gaps and is down to earth and relatable.
Reincarnation is not something to be believed in or not believed in. The truth of it is a knowing that can be felt, experienced from within. Reincarnation is about responsibility, choices and consequences – from there its science can sometimes be quite uncomfortable, challenging to hear and from there understandingly maybe rejected.
Knowing the truth and purpose of reincarnation and karma is empowering – it’s then up to us through the choices we opt to make whilst being aware of the potential for correction.
Beautifully said Deborah… our future is then determined by us and the quality in which we choose to reimprint our life with each step forward.
Thank you for explaining the truth of reincarnation so clearly Anonymous. The missing link being our personal responsibility in all that we choose to do and think.
What is amazing about the laws of karma, is how we can get distracted by the physical bodies and the physical environments we create in each life, and yet it is the spirit inside all along just avoiding taking energetic responsibility for its choices. But this avoidance cannot last forever, as it is actually asking a lot of our bodies to be un-loving and eventually they will start to show the consequences of it. But these consequences are themselves an act of love, as the universe rebalances. So karma is quite beautiful in how it is always about returning to love. Thank you for a fantastic blog.
I love the concept of reincarnation for when you recognise and appreciate the universe is just rebalancing itself there can never be confusion, or a belief that something is unfair, just a trust that things are as they need to be to reimprint what has come before.
Yey! Truth about reincarnation. Isn’t it fascinating (if not scary) that information about all topics under the skies is accessible, but 99.9% of it is slightly or massively twisted? So we get a sense of the truth, but we are sold not the whole truth. A big thanks to Serge Benhayon who didn’t accept this information and did what is necessary to do to access truth. All of it. As it is. As we all can.
Beautifully well said Felix, thank you. And now as more and more too choose to access truth, perhaps corrections can begin to be made to all that is of the twisted varieties.
Very interesting how information on these essential topics is so obscured, whereas the simplicity offers us the chance to evolve.
How clearly you have spelt out what reincarnation is Anonymous, and with the knowing that we will return again and again, that it is up to each one of us to own the responsibility as to how we live each life. There is no blame, no coincidences, no hard luck, simply that fact that we are living the consequences of our choices, not just in this life but in many lives previously.
Karma is like living life by flipping a coin. You have only two outcomes truth or not true. If you, base a whole lifetime on the first coin toss and it is a lie, every other choice just takes you farther away from who we truly are. We then can repeat this pattern for lifetimes. But as you have expressed Anonymous there is a way to break this cycle and return to who we have always been.
This is something we do not like to admit, that in fact life is very black and white and that there is no middle ground. But once we accept this truth and with that see the responsibility we have life becomes simpler and clearer and everything starts to make sense as we start to understanding that life always encompasses the all and never can be just about oneself.
Well said Esther, we are always looking for the comfort in the middle ground and actually there is none. It is either truth or non truth and the middle ground is just the lack of responsibility as it is the non truth.
Beautifully expressed Anonymous. A clear and simple knowing of the fact of karma and reincarnation and our responsibility to make choices in life to evolve back to the Divine love we come from. “Whether we believe it or not reincarnation is a given. By understanding the true meaning of reincarnation we can see what an absolutely amazing opportunity it offers us to grow and to evolve.”
I love the infinite and constant opportunities we are given to evolve – from every angle and every reflection – including Reincarnation.
What I find very empowering is the growing knowing of that I do know. I know my past lives, not in this personified way we expect it to come to us, but by the choices and the quality I have chosen to live and that is what truly matters. To have this image of needing to know “the person” is part of the humanized ideal of reincarnation as it is about the energetic impress we left on earth by the level of responsibility we have chosen to live in. So knowing about reincarnation is for me feeling the energetic quality I choose every day and how this choice is impacted by my passed choices.
Great point Rachel and well said! It is the energetic imprints and the quality we choose to live in that stays with us from one incarnation to the next and that is what we connect to and what supports us or not depending on our choices and it impacts our life whether we choose to be aware of it or not.
Thank you Anonymous for your understandings on reincarnation, like you I have lived feeling confused about this subject until I met Serge Benhayon. Reincarnation for me was something attached to religions I knew very little about and could not quite get my head around people coming back as an insect. But it makes sense to me that if we did not want to be responsible we would re-interpret the true meaning of reincarnation or keep it mystical and unattainable – what better way of pushing reincarnation into something that can be ignored just so that we do not have to take responsibility for how we are living each life.
I grew up with the knowing of karma and reincarnation, but it was just a knowing or guessing and not a lived responsibility that was reflected in the choices, so I couldn’t really grasp what it was and it was this blind spot in my life on which I finally gave up and just concentrated on having a good and comfortable life. But there was this massive boredom of life and feeling of not making sense, it was like lacking true purpose for life. When I was introduced into the Ageless Wisdom by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon everything made sense and I started to feel what was/is true and what I first felt was true purpose coming to my life. That was the most amazing feeling and although I had lived a very content life I experienced a level of joy that came with the responsibility I started to feel and the power I have to choose. I could feel the true grandness and power we are.
I too grew up with that knowing Rachel and can remember from an early age having the crystal clear understanding that there was no death, we just ‘went to sleep’ and ‘woke up’ some time later. This knowing stayed with me, although slightly buried, as there was no one around me who I could share the depth of this knowing with, that was until I met Serge Benhayon. Once Serge began to present on reincarnation it was like the floodgates opened and the memories of knowings, feelings and words I had spoken to myself all through my life about karma and reincarnation came pouring forth. It was such a joyful feeling, a confirmation that I had know the truth all along.
Gorgeous Rachel, your resolve to living true is so inspiring to feel, thank you.
I love this Anonymous.
Reincarnation = Responsibility
It’s no wonder we have so many versions and variations to distract us from the truth we inevitably cannot escape (time after time, life after life).
True Kylie, people do not want to know about reincarnation because of this very fact. Acknowledging the truth of this would mean stopping any type of behaviour that is not responsible. The words ‘Ostrich’ and ‘head in the sand’ come to mind.
Very true Kylie, we like to create many a version of what reincarnation and karma mean simply to not having to take and live the responsibility we are naturally are to live.
reincarnation = responsibility = love
Agreed Kylie, all these other versions of reincarnation are very conveniently adopted by people as an excuse to not bringing responsibility in their lives.
Reincarnation is the ultimate responsibility. What we living in this moment will have a direct impact on our next moment and these moments will lead to our next life.
Yes, it is the ultimate responsibility, simply a beautiful cycle that allows us to learn and come to our senses.
So beautifully and simply put Esther.
Yes a cycle in the school for the wayward will here on earth that supports it to get back to its origins. Reincarnation is an expression of absolute love and not understanding it shows how we have bastardized the meaning of love to not be responsible.
I can’t remember what age I was when I realised that reincarnation was a fact of life, I feel it was always there as a knowing even after having all that Heaven and Hell, paradise and fire and brimstone stuff shoved down my throat. I too could feel no truth in that, why would God, a loving God condemn someone to the lake of fire for eternity for getting it wrong in seventy odd years or less, not taking into account the difficult situations they might have born into and the so called sins they committed may have been out of survival. Like you Anonymous it took Serge Benhayon to come along and introduce the science of reincarnation to really bring home the absolute truth of what I had always known.
For me too Kevin, talk about connecting the dots! Serge Benhayon single handedly continues to this day to fill in any missing links that may arise for me as far as life not adding up, though I must admit I’m not finding myself stumped too often these days. As it turns out the answers I thought I were not able to find as a curious young girl, were never too far away all along!
Serge Benhayon is the ultimate DOT Connecter 🙂 And in doing so reminds us that we have all have the wisdom within.
We have tried to make God in our image Kevin. And what a lousy fist we have made of it. It is a lie that any child can see through when we let them be and do not use a callousness and abuse to make them submit to the lie.
Yes and we have made everything in our image from a human perspective, God, religion, reincarnation, karma, etc. We bastardized the truth so we can reduce ourselves into a lesser being and then live as we were the most evolved being, simply by negating truth. That way we can also ridicule the fact of living in a universal order and being impulsed by energy, the science of reincarnation and karma, as from a pure material and physical perspective it seems to be unfathomable to exist. It is not more intelligent than putting your hands in front of your eyes and pretending to not be seen.
Very well said Rachel. Reductionism in a nutshell. When we reduce, manipulate and twist truth we are kidding ourselves that we have taken the pressure off ourselves. Convenient for sure, but ineffective.
There is an energetic truth, and a playing such a game of hide and seek does not work, for in energetic truth we are always seen…as you have so beautifully described.
What a totally awesome grasp you have on reincarnation Anonymous,and so beautifully and plainly put into words. It would take a lot of resistance to not be able to feel the truth and wisdom in this blog.
I agree the truth and wisdom can be felt in this blog which is the same as our truth within if we close to connect and listen to it.
Thanks for sharing this Anonymous -I especially like how you have said “each one of us is a collection of our previous lives lived and choices made” as this challenges the idea that “I am the re-incarnation of Napoleon” which always seemed a bit strange to me as there was nothing Napoleon-like about you! The idea of us being a collection of lives lived in a new form is much easier to grasp.
I have always giggled at the several thousand re-incarnations of Nefertiti, or Tutankhamen, or whoever else in on the greatest hits list to be. I am sure that there are a few thousand wannabe bad boys out there who would claim to be Hitler or Pol Pot too.
The fact that we are an amassing of lives, lives that are geared towards evolution, or fighting it tooth and nail…that makes sense to me. Sure, you might have been Nefertiti, who can say? But how are you living now? Has Nefertiti evolved? Or is she still bossing everyone around and demanding peeled grapes?
Love what you share here Jean and Rachel as it is not the personification of what has been lived but the quality in which we have lived that imprints our present life. We have not been that person, but expressed in a certain quality through the incarnation at that time. So we are never the reincarnation of Nefertiti, but maybe the reincarnation of that lived quality.
And the key word is quality…it’s never about who we were or who we are not…but the quality of our living way.
Yes its funny how we might dabble with reincarnation and being other people…but we seem to forget that we leave the body each time we pass to acquire a new form and after many times around and around we would have quite a collection of old patterns, beliefs and behaviours that we may bring around again. We end up bringing every life we have ever lived into this current body until we clear what is not truly our essence. No wonder we seem so complex 🙂
Accepting reincarnation as a truth is not only accepting a concept or philosophy but with accepting reincarnation we do also include and accept all our past lives to be part of us. Knowing that I am a being that lives already for eons on this earth, I consciously can connect to all those lives, of which some may be called good, and some may be called bad, and tap in on my experiences from that. Now I can relate to why I have that feelings of ‘having been somewhere before’, while in this life it is my first time being there or the feeling of ‘I have been in a situation like this before’ while in this life it is my forst time. Confirming that I am living a continuous cycle of life and death, that how my current life is a representation of all my past lives and that I can influence my next life by living that quality I like to have in my next life to live already in this life to the best of my ability, is a responsibility I am prepared to take on.
Thank you Anonymous, what you share here is rarely told while I too know that is is true. I can now feel that sharing about the truth of reincarnation is needed in our societies as this will assist us in becoming more responsible for how life currently is. We tend now to say that it is because of our ancestors and the way people behave in the past. But when we consider that reincarnation is a truth we have to become honest with ourselves because those people in the past we refer to we could have been ourselves.
Our whole world would change if we truly adhered to the understanding of reincarnation, how we viewed the sick and dying, we would not pander to the ill but bring great love and compassion, we are lost in a much reduced world that is emotional about events and spends its time spinning around and around going nowhere. We have settled for a far less existence rather than the truly magnificent lives we could be living if we were just to take responsibility for our selves.
Great point Vanessa. Understanding and respecting all that this science entails would have an extraordinary impact on the way we choose to be with ourselves and others in the world…. it would give us a purpose and responsibility many seem to be lacking and would inspire us to truly commit to learning from our mistakes and living in a quality that is in total respect of what we seed forth.
Great comment, Nico, reincarnation asks us to take responsibility on so many levels. We can’t blame our ancestors, we can’t only consider this life and we have to accept we live in circles.
Absolutely Nico. We can’t say ‘It’s your fault’ to our ancestors, we can only say, ‘Wow, that doesn’t work, let’s not repeat that – let’s find another way’ . . . which we have thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine.
Indeed Lyndy, it is thanks to Serge Benhayon that I have become aware of this fact again, that we live in a reincarnation cycle. Otherwise I feel I would still have lived in ignorance of this fact and would live a much lesser life that I do now, as I am living in conscious connection with that grand cycle of life and death of human lives on this earth.
‘Reincarnation I realised, is definitely not random or left to chance, but instead a very direct and accurate universal science.’
Your journey of understanding Anonymous mirrors my own – I too was never satisfied with the randomness of the various snippets I’d been told and was mightily relieved when I first heard Serge Benhayon’s presentations. Here was a truth I could feel in my body, that resonated deeply in me and with which I was utterly familiar. Ageless wisdom, back in full – and an accurate science, as you say – and me and many others back with it.
It is also interesting to reflect why there are so many distorted versions of reincarnation as they only provide part truth. It is a very sinister way to keep us off track to connecting to truth, this has been happening for thousands of years.
Whereas Universal Medicine presents to us the whole truth and absolutely nothing less, reminding us of our true responsibility.
‘…the versions I had been given so far were a far cry from the intricate and precise science that I heard when attending Universal Medicine presentations.’
The description ‘intricate and precise science’ marries with what I have heard presented by Universal Medicine too: here I have heard answers that I can feel for myself are true and wise – and complete. What strikes me is that we have been fed bits of truth that add up to little more than bastardised versions of the truth. So a big thanks to Serge Benhayon for bringing us truth in its totality.
The question, “Could it be our karma to not consciously know about the fact of reincarnation simply because we have chosen to live irresponsibly and therefore have blocked seeing to what extent we are indeed energetically responsible?” (Teachings and Revelations, Serge Benhayon, page 356) rings so true.
Complete is the word here Victoria. Truth is only truth in it’s wholeness, entirety and never in fragments.
Kylie what you have shared ‘Truth is only truth in it’s wholeness, entirety and never in fragments’ is so well expressed and something that I am coming to understand now. I have actually come to understand it fully from my own writing. I have written many things that have only contained part truth, thinking that the parts that are truth are enough for the whole article to be ok and missing the point that the whole truth is what sets us free and that part truth is how we have been incarcerated for lifetimes. We recognise the bits of something that are truth and so gravitate towards those but there are chunks missing, which is similar to parts of a map Home missing, how are we going to ever get Home without the whole map?
Well said Victoria, Serge Benhayon presents the science of reincarnation in a way that reignites a deep knowing of its truth and the responsibility that is involved in choosing the quality of our next life.
Thank you Anonymous for this awesome blog. I can totally relate to what you’ve shared as I too had similar experiences and thoughts when I was growing up. I now have a true understanding of reincarnation through the teachings of Universal Medicine and it is exactly like the title of your blog, providing me with the missing links in understanding reincarnation. From this everything started to make so much sense.
I never liked or really understood that image of God as a nasty gatekeeper character, with a clipboard listing under one arm and a bureaucratic attitude to admission to Heaven. How could the being who made the unbridled magnificence of the night sky that so freely pours forth such endless beauty upon us, be such a nob about letting us in to Heaven? It seemed irreconcilable.
My solution was to give up on that and become very rational about life…sort of.
Always I knew that there was God, and he was not that man made beast of a thing. It was reincarnation that made sense of this to me; it painted a vastly grander picture, forever eliminating the image of the officious guy with a clipboard …admitting us to Heaven or sending us, glaring and with pointed finger to the ravages of hell.
For it is us, and only us who allows that admission to take place. And the only Hell is that which we have made of life on this earth.
It is only reincarnation that allows us to see that latter point with honesty.
Such an awesomely descriptive comment Rachel that had me smiling and cringing at the same time; smiling at the beauty of God’s divine Universe that you describe so effortlessly and cringing at the undeniable fact that “the only Hell is that which we have made of life on this earth”. Yes it’s my life and it’s made up totally from the consequences of my choices – so Hell or Heaven is simply a choice away!
Beautifully said, I would love to read a book from you about it. I love how you put the record straight, de- mystifying the false images of heaven and hell, pointing out that it is our responsibility to keep on living hell on earth or claiming our divine origins and returning to heaven to further evolve.
It makes everything so immediate Rachel, not this far off fantasy that one day everything will be grand, or that I will only have to answer for the consequences in some faraway, nebulous future.
Those images stand in the way of our responsibility. They stop us seeing that a grand life is for us to make now and that when we do not we live in the hell of our own reckless making.
That’s right Rachel, so all those thoughts that dismiss God are not from God – that also explains free will to choose what we align to.
Reincarnation is a truly beautiful science for which I am deeply grateful to have discovered through the presentations of Universal Medicine…. for within them enormous understanding is given as to why the world and my life is the way it is and how I can then change this through living responsibly.
‘Now when I talk to someone, I know and understand I am not just seeing a reflection of their choices in this current life but a reflection of their choices of every life they have ever lived!’ Anonymous this is one of the many sentences I related to here. By knowing and understanding that we reflect the choices we have been making allows more love to be lived and shared equally.
This also helps bring in greater understanding of others because what is before us being presented is or has been possibly built up over hundreds of lives. I know myself that there have and are patterns that just don’t want to shift but the truth is because I have chosen to not heal from the choices I am repeating, instead using the excuse that because they have been built up over time that they hold a weight over me. A weight that can be simply lifted by choosing love more and more. The more this love is chosen the more we reflect how little hold these seemingly ‘old’ patterns truly have over us.
‘The more this love is chosen the more we reflect how little hold these seemingly ‘old’ patterns truly have over us’, great point Leigh. There is no-thing that love can not remedy.
It also allows for a much greater understanding of how life works and what it is all about so you don’t feel so intense about interactions or take them so personally. The more we see the big picture of life the greater the love we can live with.
This was one of the many lines that stood out for me too. Knowing, realizing and accepting this brings so much understanding for ourselves and for others.
It brings deeper understanding of other people and ourselves, if we are willing to know they are being impelled by more than this moment in time. How often have we reacted, or seen another react out of proportion to a situation? Mostly we write this off as silliness/irrationality/having a bad day. Reincarnation suggests something else…that perhaps there are very old buttons on us all, and that they can be pressed. That overreaction starts to make sense to a vastly bigger picture, and is not so easily written off as a random event.
