In Brida, a book of mine that will be published in various countries (from March onwards), I touch on the subject of reincarnation. Of course, theoretically, this goes against the dogmas of my religion (catholicism). But, even in the New Testament, there’s a moment in which Jesus clearly states that old souls reincarnate in new bodies: “But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
What’s your opinion about that?

I’ve found for a few years now that this question is difficult to answer; mainly because of one thing: How did we get to be so many? If, the souls choose their lives, families here before coming, as they choose to have certain experiences during their stay; and the human body comes with ego and needs to be inhabited by the soul before coming here; how did we get to be so many? how did so many many souls decide to come here in the past few thousand years compared to before?
This is a question that takes a lot of my reflection, because as such there are elements about reincarnation that i cannot deny and that are true to me, but as to any religion, there are questions that cannot be answered, and i think this might be one of those questions.
In any case i think more people should respect karma and that way humans would probably be much kinder to others.
I dont think i am here to find answers to all my questions, but to find and ask the questions.
we all part of the same soul which is the soul of the universe,or you can call it allah or god or whatever was the name.and our souls after our bodies die,go to its origin which is god.and this soul goes back sometimes to other people in the future if a soul in the same aspects is needed to do changes.thats why elias came back and thats why jesus will come back and also any body is needed in a certain time. but this coming back should be in a phisical body.thats why when jesus came back after 3 days,was as an image.and the only difference between a holy soul and a regular one,is that the holy soul will be activated inside the human being after that human will have enough faith and love and is ready to take enough risk,and thats what the power is.and thats how were the prophets.so nobody was born as a holy man.
I do believe in reincarnation since studying genealogy. The latter helps me understand myself better, and some (not all) of the peculiarities or seemingly cellular sorts of understandings.
But have not studied past life regression, and the first time I heard of it was through Shirley MacLaine many years ago. I read her book ‘Out On A Limb’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_MacLaine
One night while watching a movie, my daughter suddenly sat up and said ‘Remember mommy, we were supposed to go and see this together?’ I cannot recall the name of the movie, but Angel Falls was on the screen. She was in kind of a dreamy state, laying with her head in my lap. We had never discussed Angel Falls, or going to together. I am not sure she remembers this incident. But I just calmly stroked her hair and did not say anything.
So thankful you have written about this in Aleph, dear Paulo!
Love and Blessings, Jane xo
Life is a privilege not a right. Every incarnation is a chance we receive in order to evolve. A distinction has to be made between people who are spiritually dead and those who are not. Every time a person does an evil act his or her cellular frequency drops. If they go too far too often then that frequency will become ‘flat-line’ and they will be spiritually dead, and there will then be no soul to reincarnate again, ever, so that individual will literally have ceased to exist.
Honestly,I really don’t know, but I have ideas.
Well,if we have conscious, soul and body, it’s a simple miracle, because we can touch the world. It’s not only a school to learn the meaning of life, but to feel and have all kind of sentimental. We have just to fallow the law’s universe.
Reincarnation, belong to the human being imagination, and created limit to fly so high in the beautiful mind of the universe conception.
Reincarnation is now a much accepted concept than wt it might have been some time back…..I had the chance to read the works of Dr. Brian Weiss like “Through time into Healing”..”Many lives many Masters” and had found them very very interesting…..
I do definitely believe in re-incarnation… :) :)
if reincarnation does not exist, and we live just one life; i think God would be very sadic and unfair one… making some people born healthy, others sick or handycapped. Some born wealthy while many have no food to eat… How to explain those differences in one single life?
Creo que Dios entra en cada uno de nosotroscuando le abrimos las puertas de nuestra alma .
EV OL UTION THAT IS WHAT IT S ALL ABOUT .
Suis entrain de manger du pain de “graines” c’est pas mauvais, on y prend gout.:)
The soul is not immortal (Hes 18:4). The soul is the life force and do have a DNA too. Everything has a frequency and negativity makes the frequencies drop. A very negative and evil person, throughout incarnations, will “kill” his/her own soul by poisoning it with negative vibrations. So I say “evolve”! Don´t become a disgrace to evolution killing your own soul! If the life force (vibrations that keep the soul existing) will drop too low the life force will just no longer vibrate or exist. Back into blank matter you go! Worse than a nightmare is the nightmare from which you cannot wake.
I truly believe in reincarnation. And I can tell you that I know a lot of my own previous lives.
In my daily work – I am homeopath, psychotherapist and I am working on alternative medicine, reincarnation is a part of my work. And I may dicover so wonderful things by using this tool, this way to help people getting out of s.c.”prisons” they were put in from painful situations which are still in the memory of our souls and even cells. Once you made the experience you will never doubt.
Universalcommunication in its inner meaning stands for all ways of communication that is possible in this univers. Including reincarnation.
Religion comes from the latin word re ligio, that means leading back to ourselves. Reincarnation, as Paulo mentions, is not something openly discussed in our christian churches. Why? Becaus when we truely follow our own ways back to ourselves (religio!) we become independent, free, no longer manipulated by anybody and we will find out that God is us!
I also believe in re-incarnation.
“Leading back to ourselves” is the only way, sadly it does not seem to fit the way “religion” is “selling it” to us… as you said “because when we truly follow our ways back to ourselves (religio) we become independent, free , no longer manipulated by anybody and we will find out that God is us!”
Anne, my Yoga teacher, hands us a sheet of paper to-day. with something to meditate on:
“Le bonheur c’est nous meme.” “Happiness is ourselves”
It concurs with what you are saying.
Merci Anne, Thank you Anne and Ulrike.

I can really feel a resonance in my soul reading this!
Creo que entenderán que dado que nuestro Dios, quien es el mismo Cristo, (ya han oído “Yo y el Padre UNO somos” y “Yo soy el primero y el último (lo cual sólo puede decirlo Dios) y el que vivo y estuve muerto (lo cual sólo puede decirlo Jesucristo)con lo cual, todo el que sea de Dios, porque NO TODOS lo son, entenderá, gracias a Dios, que Dios y Cristo UNO SON, porque :”Oye Israel, Jehová tu Dios, Jehová UNO es”), se refería a la unción conqel Él bendijo a Elías, no al espíritu y alma de Elías propiamente. Consideren que, cuando en La Santa Biblia dice “el espíritu de Elías reposó sobre Eliseo” Eliseo ya obviamente existía. De ningún modo nadie pudiera decir jamás que Elías reencarnó en Eliseo porque, ¿acaso los presuntamente reencarnantes,reencarnan en seres VIVOS ya nacidos, es decir, EN CUERPOS YA HABITADOS POR OTROS ESPÍRITUS Y ALMAS? Creo que para hacer reflexiones y consideraciones SERIAS sobre un asunto cualquiera, se debe ser objetivo, y los que opinen que sí había reencarnación de Elías yen Eliseo realmente no lo están siendo y sólo quieren VER TODO a través de UNA ÚNICA LENTE:La de que lo que ellos dicen y creen es lo único cierto y lo explica todo. Sean realistas, ¿acvaso no nos dijo el mismísimo Señor Jesucristo que es a través de la Revelación de Él por medio de Su Santo Espíritu, que Su Iglesia sería edificada? ¿Porqué pretender poner signos de interrogación donde Dios ha puesto punto y final? Recuerden que según La Biblia, satanás mismo sigue transformándose en angel de luz. No es que recupere su condición caísa, sini oque pretende semejar siempre la apariencia real de él a una que no deje ver que en realidad se trata de el mismo diablo, para engañar. Y sólo los escogidos de Dios, sus hijos de verdad,podrán oír Su Voz y reconocerla, pero no los hijos del diablo, porque el diablo también tiene hijos, pero son anti-Cristo, nada tienen que ver con Dios. Salud. Espero no haber ofendido conciencias, no busco jamás ofender, solo hallar la Luz. Dios los guíe.
I was wondering how I missed this post >> but I was packing my bag for Paris!! I believe in energy and energy moves in every direction… I believe in reincarnation and life after death… I think we have to make our own choice on what we want to do in our personal afterlife…
…there are enough individual cases of people recalling and proving previous lives to satisfy science……..
I am not close to anything but I am not open to everything.
I know what I feel, and I feel I have to live the best I can.
Still don’t know. This is something that I really don’t know.
Reincarnation gives an answer to the question (is GOD a just GOD? that gives the same opportunities to all his children?)
Didn't they also ask John the Baptist if he were Elijah?
How come? If not reincarnation?
I have chosen to believe that these are indications of reincarnation in the Bible, though when I have tried to discuss such with other Christians, the best I have been offered is a polite;
that's not definitive proof.
(why any believer should need definitive proof???)
there is a growing number of 'Christians' who are rapidly moving away from being told what to think, how to think, when to think….the ones who say things like;
yes, I'm a Christian….but i don't have to go to church to prove it and vice-versa, going to church once a week doesn't make one a Christian….being one everyday is what 'sorts the sheep from the goats'
There are so many, many,many many!! different Christian establishments, all arguing and back-stabbing each other!! why the *heck* not just decide for myself?
I think maybe that's how/why i came up with the Spaceman-god theory
because if you read Genesis and Revelation absolutely literally, it bloody well fits!
But, I daresay, any bible scholar who's worth his salt, is going to object and say; But you can't take Genesis nor Revelation literally….
and I'd say; So, you want me to take Jonah, Samson, Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, blah blah etc, absolutely literally, all of it, in fact, except the first and last books?? yeah, okay.
But that doesn't matter – I'm just a Star Trek freak lol! I'm not trying to persuade people to join my religion and I'm not going to argue with anyone about anything (on a good day…) ESPecially not about Jesus, The Messiah, Prince of Peace,
because I'm not afraid to be wrong
I'm not afraid to be childish
I am afraid I've wandered far from the original point!
But that's two points in one – you know i was not literally afraid…and we all have equal capacity to prove a point, if we put our minds to it, but if that means that too many people are arguing about the bible, then what is the point??
That's where I've been for the most part, recently, again, as we do;
Okay, God, remind me again, what was the point?
I think I'll just quietly go back now,
thank you
Love

je voudrais y croire plus profondement, j y travaille. Je suis nee dans une communaute qui y croit. Petite, j ai entendu des recits de grand mere qui racontaient qu elles avaient retrouve des bijoux voles grace aux info que le petit voisin de deux ans avait raconte a ses parents… et d autres, quand mon pere est mort, une vieille tante que j ai eu au tel m a consolee en me disant ‘avec la vie qui a ete la sienne il doit etre revenu dans un foyer a tel ou tel endroit. La difference c est que dans ce cas, on encourage et ecoute les recits de ces personnes, on s ‘attends a ce au ils racontent.. on les laisse ” divaguer” diraient certains… J ai vu des enfants pourtant se diriger vers une femme en disant, c est mon epouse ou je suis son pere et qui donnaient une foule de details.. j aiassiste a des retrouvailles… et je pense que la premiere chose a faire c est ne pas se fermer, s y attendre, on se prepare a ecouter tout ce qui est considere comme irrationnel et les ‘miracles ‘ arrivent.
je vous aime
I fear paradise will be boring after some time – maybe exept being commanded as “Angel for very special missions” – this could be interesting. Incarnation could be an exciting adventure I can imagine. However it will be, I hope it will be a good surprise!
i have not gone into the depths of the existence of reincarnation…but sometimes…i do enjoy to think of another real life…where we are sleeping and dreaming our present life..isn’t that possible too….just as we dream…the things existing and those not existing…isn’t it possible that our life now ,is a dream too….and when we die..we actually wake up from the dream to the real world we are really living in……i love the way my thoughts wander sometimes.
Well I think the question of karma is an important one, and this is linked to the concept of reincarnation.
There is much that we do not consciously understand about the afterlife, but being aware of our actions and reactions is key – the universe is a mirror. Every single thought and every action we make affects the universe, whether or not our individual consciousness, as we know it today, is reborn as another individual consciousness. Time is probably also an illusion, so our actions and therefore karma, spread backwards and forwards in time.
