RE: The Reincarnation Thread
My views on the mechanism of reincarnation come from a report called The Key, re-published in 2010. While in Toronto on a book tour in 1998, the author Whitley Strieber encountered an entity or being who engaged him in a conversation about the true nature of reality. I believe that this encounter did happen. I conclude that this little book should not be dismissed as a potboiler out of Strieber's imagination.
I have re-read The Key about 10 times now. I am convinced that it is a truthful report of a real conversation. If so, the Master of the Key engaged Strieber in the most important conversation I have ever read.
He described the soul as a radiant body, residing in an elemental one. When the elemental body can no longer support life, the radiant body either progresses, or recycles, or slowly dissolves into the universe. The Master of the Key prescribed meditation to ensure coherent survival of the radiant soul. So now I meditate. Here are a few quotes for the flavor:
"How does a person evolve this radiant body?" asked Whitley.
The imprinting of essence with experience requires effort and attention. It is the object of all paths and ways to higher consciousness. It is the object of real prayer. To begin, you must meditate. Who does not meditate, disintegrates.
"Any specific recommendations?"
Paying attention to physical sensation is paying attention to energetic sensation. Being awake to oneself and one's surroundings increases the intensity of the impressions so that they affect the spin of the electrons that are present in the nervous system. In this context, being awake means being aware of one's own self while at the same time absorbing impressions from the outside.
The increase in spin, and enrichment of the complexity of the pattern of being that results, bring more and more form to the radiant body. You will remember yourself after your death- who and what you were, why you existed, and what you intend for your future. You will, in short, acquire a true aim, and join the companions of God in their journey toward ecstatic and conscious union with one another and all that is
'"What about those who don't acquire this ethereal independence?""
After death you cannot be blind and therefore you cannot change. There, you wait.
"Wait for what?"
To understand that, you must first understand that the living and the dead share the same world. Your dead are not off somewhere in space. Their lives and beings are intertwined with yours. They see all that passes here, but can only affect it indirectly, if they can make themselves heard in the minds of the living.
However, you the living are changing now. As this change proceeds, you are better and better able to feel the presence of your dead. You will find your dead in the immediate surroundings of their lives, clinging to what they can of their memories, attempting to preserve their selves despite the magnetic attraction of what would envelop them.
"But what about people from the distant past? Surely they don't linger here."
There is no other place for you to linger. If you are not an independent being after death, you remain engaged in the life of the earth, awaiting your chance to recur and increase your being. Lives in elemental form change the patterns of the electrons that form the soul and intensify their spin. The great dead have lived lives consciously devoted to the evolution and growth of the radiant soul.
But most of you, in the state of death, bear only fragmentary bits of what you were in life. Simple patterns, weak spin, no clear form to the radiant body and no ability to maintain it. You are subject to a process of recurrence so powerful that there are none from the distant past, except the radiant.
"Can we be cured of our blindness?"
Let me offer you a picture of the universe as it really is. There are many thousands of worlds like this one, in varying states of development. Some are worse off than yours, others better. Some have even reached such ecstasy in the elemental body that they can enjoy congress across the reaches of space and time. In these worlds, the elemental body is radiant. The physics of material being for them is the same as the physics of energetic being. This is why, when they come among you, they may walk through walls, or fly, or disappear, or change form. But most beings in other worlds live and die confined to the planets of their origin, as you do.
Last I heard, The Key can be found on Kindle for $4.99, and some used copies were recently offered on Amazon for $2.00. The last printing was 2010. After 10 re-readings, I am starting to get the picture.
