My friends, if you look around you will certainly notice, that every thing surrounding you is not eternal but exposed to destruction. Our clothes are worn out. Plants and animals become old and die. After a long life even the man dies. The firmest concrete buildings destroy in due course and even mountains are not external. The same processes take their normal course in the Subtle World, which hasn’t been seen by most people yet. It also destroys and grows old. In the Fiery World there is, on the contrary, eternal creating, eternal Life, and immortality.
And what about the man?
Our physical body belongs to the Dense World. It becomes as old and worn-out as our clothes. But the man is not only physical body. In addition the man has subtle and invisible bodies. Naturally they are not eternal either, though they live longer than the physical body. Every person has an inside — his soul — part, which belongs to the Highest Fiery World. People call this the inner part of the spirit. The grain of human spirit is as eternal and immortal as everything in the Fiery World.
Try to remember the time when you walk outside wearing many layers of clothes. Though the clothes hindered they weren’t an obstacle for you to communicate with others. On the summer beach you wear only bathing suits, but you don’t feel less mental developed than in your winter clothes. You go on talking to you friends, who recognize you anyways.
Our physical body is also our temporary “clothes”, which help us live in the Dense World. Having lived up to the old age the man takes off his (or her) worn-out “clothes”, an old body. In this case people are used to speaking about death. But what is the death? Actually the man can’t just vanish together with his (her) dreams, thoughts, intention and hopes. Everything that the man learns during the whole live can’t simply disappear anywhere.
Having lost the physical body the man doesn’t vanish and doesn’t stop being an intelligent being. Death is not the end of life, but a new form of existence. Even in such changed conditions people still recognize each other, communicates, recognize their friends and love each other. To understand why this happens we must first talk about the Cosmic Laws.
You know it is wise to follow special rules in your life in order to avoid troubles and great misfortune. Without following these laws your life could be just impossible. For example, crossing the road when the light signal is green will prevent you from being injured or even killed in a car accident. Leaving a flaming campfire or a stove can cause fire. When little kids, you were taught such wise things by you parents and elder brothers. The Cosmos has its Laws as well. They are called the Cosmic Laws, and they were taught to us by the Great Teachers. Misunderstanding and ignoring the Cosmic Laws brings great problems to the planet.
People broke the Laws in the Twentieth Century especially frequently, that has led us to such terrible conditions, diseases of Nature and society. Knowing the Cosmic Laws doesn’t only give us the opportunity to avoid different problems, but brings to us the right outlook. This outlook is important for people to develop a positive mentally and live a happy life in our planet. Among many Laws existing in the Cosmos there are three of them, which the people of the Twenty First Century must know first. They are the following the Law of Reincarnation, the Law of Karma, and the Law of Freewill.
This Law states that every man (or woman) doesn’t live just one life in the Dense World, but is born and lives on the Earth for numerous times. Having lived up to the old age and taken off the worn out body the man passes into the Subtle World. Scientists call this Subtle World, the world of the four dimension, and compare it with the three-dimensioned Dense World. The Subtle World possesses wonderful properties. Many miracles described in fairy tales are natural characteristics of the four-dimensional space and the subtle matter.
After living a bit in the Subtle World the man is reborn on Earth, back to the Dense World. Such a new birth is called reincarnation. The man gets new flesh, a new body. The Highest Reason constantly tried to explain this very essential Cosmic Law of Life to people, but not all of them adopted it. People in India, Tibet, and other Orient countries have known about reincarnation for a long, when the Western peoples lost this Knowledge. The adults usually don’t remember their last lives, but little children (up to 7 years) more easily remember their last incarnations and even the life in the Subtle World.
In the 1989, 19th issue of Planet Echo magazine there was published the story of Titus, a Hindu boy. The 5-year old child told his parent that before he had been a grown up, and lived in the city of Agra, and had two children and a wife. When 30 years old in his way home two gunned men had killed him. His last life name was Suresh Varma and his wife’s name was Uma. Titus’s parent went to Agra and found out, that Suresh Varma had really lived there and 5 years ago had been murdered nearby his home. Dead Suresh’s widow, whose name was Uma indeed, and his parent decided to meet with Titus after having heard about boy’s tales.
At the meeting Titus recognized everyone, embraced them and even got interested in where his out-of-date Fiat was, because his wife Uma had come by another car. Titus got bitterly disappointed when he got to know that his Fiat had been sold. In 1975 scientists registered over 250 similar cases only in India, but they can be found all over the world.
In the #3, 1990 issue of Question Mark magazine, there was published an interview of Prof. Stevenson, an American doctor, who registered the cases of children stating that they lived their last lives not in a warm Southern State but somewhere in the North. These children described in detail the Life of American Indians. Following these children’s descriptions, Dr. Stevenson found a village in Northern Alaska and took the kids there. When they got to that place they easily recognized the Land and its inhabitants. The children led the professor over huts and got him acquainted with the people, whom they had know well in their previous incarnation. On the whole the kids felt home.
In the #7, 1991 issue of the Orient Express newspaper, they described the case of reincarnation of Lama Rinpoche, a Tibet monk. This took place in one Spanish village. The one-year-old child, being especially searched for by Tibet Lamas survived their strictest trial. Different toys and other thing were spread out before the child and he was asked to choose those he had used in the previous incarnation. So he chose exactly and took Lama Rinpoche’s bell and. Now child is over ten and he has gone to Tibet to continue the work begun last incarnation.
My friends, you probably don’t remember details of your past lives because naturally children forget them by seven. But it doesn’t mean your memories were faded away. When people gain the next level of their development, they recall their last incarnations.
You might have had the strange experience of recalling images some past experience flashing suddenly in your mind without knowing for sure what exactly they were all about. These kind of feelings use to come up unexpectedly and excite us in a particular manner, so we try to remember some more. But, after the first images come to our minds, the whole thing vanishes.
Sometimes, when a man comes to an unknown city for the first time, he begins to seem that he was there some time ago and everything is familiar to him. He can even recall a few details about the different locations of certain houses and streets, go there and make sure of his rightness. All such sensations are partial awakenings of last incarnations memories.
Why is the man reborn on earth? Our earth life in a thick body is a peculiar School of Life. We come to earth to take the next step of our development and advancement from the human lived to the Divine one. The purpose of incarnating is our soul perfection, character tempering, getting rid of bad habits and acquiring the best new qualities of spirit.
