Sitting in a cafe with my sister last Monday I overheard someone say at the next table "Oh I don't believe in reincarnation and all that. You just die and that's it."
Interesting coffee chat but it saddened me.
The cycle of life is all around us. It is the clue to the essential purpose of our being. How difficult it must be to find meaning in our existence without this essential knowledge.
All life manifests in cycles from conception to decay, including human lives.
This is the Universal Law of Periodicity which is still only marginally accepted in the Western cultures.
Life enters a form and is imbued with consciousness. We call this appearance birth. Incarnation and manifestation are other, more precise, terms for the even.
The purpose of this activity is to grow to self realisation, which the soul does by means of experience garnered during each appearance.
Release from the form comes when the Principle of Liberation becomes active. The physical bodies are then released in what we refer to as Death.
For many cycles of lives groups of souls incarnate. This operates by means of the pull of the material forms they are attracted to. Reincarnation operates primarily by desire, in other words.
Eventually the souls reach the developmental stage where the pull of desire wanes. The soul then knows itself and is aware of itself once more.
As I was preparing to write today I asked one of my own soul group members how a manifestation is experienced by those out of form, who are guiding the life in form. By way of an answer he gave me a poem to share with you. It illustrates his experience of what he describes as the Wonder of the Path of Return.
Fluid she came to me
Swallow dipping
Sky blue silk
Free wheeling she came
A-fire she came to me
Lit in russet linen
Rustling autumn tone
Burning free she came
Burgeoning she came to me
Rose shoot green
Cotton crisp
Ground steady she came
Swimming she came to me
Teal blue sea satin
Undulating love waves
Swinging in she came
Love lighted she came to me
Silver shot chiffon
Etheric mist
One with me she came once more
