I have always believed in reincarnation, that when your life ends, you begin a new life in a new body. I believe that the “Nefesh” (the soul in Hebrew) is eternal. The Nefesh is composed of energy. Science tells us that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
My first encounter with reincarnation came with a recurring dream. This began, I think, when I was mayb five or six years old. The fact is that I can’t remember a time when the dream wasn’t recurring.
In the dream I am walking, hand in hand, with a woman. I never see her face. We are casually walking on the shore of a body of water around sunset. In different occurrences of the dream, we are walking besides different bodies of water: Lake Michigan in Chicago, a river (somewhere), one of the oceans, and in one occurence of the dream, two suns are setting (I would guess that that was not on Earth).
What is important about the recurring dream is that it stopped recurring. I used to be able to expect it’s recurrence several times in a week, and this was true from the time I was about five all the way until July of 1998. I had been living with Ceridwen for awhile, when I realised that I had not had the dream for a few weeks. This is because Ceridwen was the woman in the dream. She is someone with whom I have spent many life times. We are “soul mates,” “twin flames.”
While I was on a field trip with my grade school class to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. I was in the Egyptian exhibit, looking at some of the mummies. Of particular interest to me was the mummy of an eleven year old boy. I was reading about him and the thought came to me out of the blue, “I knew this kid. I used to play with him.” Where did that come from?
The last house that I purchased in Kankakee was one that I used to walk past on the way to school. I was drawn to that house, and had a feeling that I had lived there at some time. The person who built it was a dry goods merchant with a store in downtown Kankakee. He hired an architect who specialized in designing homes in the Eastlake style, which used oriental lines to modify Victorian designs. It had a pagoda like look.
When the movie Titanic came out I was one of the first to see it. I could not sit through it. When the scene came with the ship’s stern straight up in the water, I had to leave the theatre. I sat in my car and trembled. It was like I had been on the ship when it went down.
So, what precisely do I think happens; what are the conditions present, when we reincarnate?
I do not think that there is much of a time gap between the moment your Nefesh leaves your body and the moment it takes it’s place in a new body. Perhaps just moments after your death, and just moments before you are born.
For a time I studied with the Rosicrucians (AMORC) out of San Jose CA. They teach that each incarnation happens at a 144 year interval. I don’t believe that as I don’t see what purpose it could possibly make. On the other hand, it may be that time just stops going forward for the newly dead, and so it seems like there is an interval.
I suspect that you might alternate genders with each incarnation. This is not something I considered when I wrote my own preprogramming script for my next incarnation. Perhaps this is why the phenomenon of trans genderism has become prevalent.
Some teachers suggest that when you reincarnate that you can do so into the past or the future. Personally I think that you only go into the future.
Some teachers say that your memory is wiped clean in the beginning of each incarnation. I think that you can preprogram your next incarnation, so that you don’t loose any of your memories of the things you learned in the previous life. I suspect that this is what accounts for the phenomenon of geniuses.
I may have other ideas further on. I will edit this article accordingly.
