Reincarnation, Sins and Forgiveness
Reincarnation
is an important
truth that you must understand to achieve spiritual progress. It is an essential part of the foundation of
God's Plan of Salvation. This book will
lay the groundwork for the worldwide acceptance of this truth that will take
place in the next 40 years, 1998 - 2038.
Your spiritual record reflects your entire
existence since the instant you were created.
Every thought, every word, every act of yours of every lifetime is
reproduced by it in a recording like a film.
It is a Book of Life, into which everything is entered. It
is a phonographic and motion picture record that retains and reproduces
everything. It is a film which does not lie, and whose revelations cannot be
denied, and it is the evidence by which in the end on Judgment Day all of your
lifetimes in summation will be judged by your Creator.
Your path through life is one of
tests. Its nature and length are fixed
in advance, out of your control, and this you cannot change, do what you
will. The turning points on that path
are specific times of duty at which you have to pass those tests, and at the
end, corporeal death awaits you.
Whether or not you do your duty as you go depends on yourself. If you pass the tests, your spirit will
continue to progress in the spiritual levels until it reaches its final goal,
union with God. If you fail to pass you
must reincarnate and take the tests over again until you can meet them
successfully.
The "Christian" religions do
not recognize this truth. They do not
know that the Creator works like an architect who first draws his plans for the
erection of a building. These plans do
not give all the details of the interior construction of the building nor of
the materials to be used for that purpose, but only the outer framework.
In a similar way, God has laid out the
ground lines for your life structure, according to which your life is fixed in
outline, leaving you free to decide upon the interior details, according to
your own decisions.
Death
and the span that lies between your birth and death are predestined and out of
your control. The hour of your death
could be written on your birth certificate.
Therefore no one, not even the best physician, can save your
life. Your physical body will die at
the appointed moment. Why does this
seem so strange to some of you? Isn't
God the Master of life and death?
Just as a human architect can make
ulterior alterations in his plans, so it is within the realm of possibility for
God, by way of exception, to permit changes in your destiny. The power of lengthening or shortening the
time of your life rests with Him alone.
So, as you can now understand, this
lifetime your are presently living is generally under God's control and plan,
with your free will making decisions in harmony or disharmony with God.
The reincarnation of your spirit, spiritual
mind, and soul as a unit takes place according to fixed laws. Every spirit is chosen for the baby it
incarnates into. God decides this
according to past life activity. In
many cases spirits of the lower spiritual levels are compelled to enter a
certain newborn. This compelling is due
to the Law of Cause and Effect and the spiritual mistakes those particular
human spirits committed in their previous lifetimes. This compelling or forcing is done for the good of the spirits
who otherwise would remain in the Hereafter too long after physical death. Lower level spirits can progress much
further and sooner in the material world than in the spiritual world by
observing and interacting with material Creation. This is the essence of God's Plan of Salvation.
Under the right conditions, reincarnation
can be observed. Heat and light affect
spiritual energy manifestations, because of this, childbirth should take place
in a cool and dimly lit environment in order to witness the spirit entering the
newborn. If you were to use the light
of only one candle during childbirth, you would see a flash of light enter the
baby at the moment of the first breath.
It would come from above and enter the mouth with the first
inhalation. This is the spirit
reincarnating.
Also, you could witness the spirit leaving
the body as a flash of light at the moment of physical death with the last
exhaled breath if you were in the dark or with very little light.
All spirits of those of the deceased, who
because of the lives they led on Earth have been condemned to a lower
(inferior) spiritual level, are waiting in the Hereafter to be
reincarnated. Reincarnation is the only
way these lower spirits can progress.
How profoundly ignorant followers of religions and scientists are who do
not recognize this truth.
Yet, even though what I write here is
truth, it is such only in the minds of those who are intelligent and
knowledgeable enough to accept it.
Those who are religiously confined, the closed-minded scientists of this
world and its rulers, who are in no way spiritually educated, will never
understand these truths until they change their way of thinking from a grossly
materialistic type to a spiritual one and seek the truth.
I proclaim to the entire world the wonderful
Plan of Salvation conceived by God in His infinite intelligence and wisdom, a
Plan which was hidden, but which is perfect and will not change until all
fallen spirits return into His Kingdom.
Understanding reincarnation is one of the keys to understanding this
Plan.
When you are separated from your material
body by corporeal death you enter into the respective parallel spiritual level
comparable to the spiritual level of your existence on Earth. You remain there until you are reincarnated
on Earth. If you have not progressed
you are reincarnated in the same stage as often as may be necessary to fit you
for reincarnation in a higher one. The
number of Earthly lifetimes you must live is totally a result of the spiritual
progress that you accomplish, without exception this is true.
There is no retrogression of your spirit
from one stage of progress to a lower one even though you may remain at the
same stage for a long time, even up to a hundred lifetimes or more. You do not retrograde into a lower level
because although you may have fallen back in one respect you will have advanced
in another, so that a balance is struck.
Here too you see your loving and merciful
Creator at work.
Also, you never reincarnate into an
animal, plant, rock, insect or anything other than a human body.
A human spirit which, when its body dies,
has not progressed during its incarnation must be reincarnated again and again
into the same spiritual level until it is fit to enter the next higher
stage. That is true in every case, if
during a lifetime on Earth you have not advanced to the thirteenth spiritual
level on the road leading to God, you must go through life again as an Earth
human being. Every life is an
examination, if you fail to pass, you must try again until you succeed. That is a divine law that applies with equal
force to all.
Of all these facts "Christendom"
and many other "religions" of today are clearly ignorant.
There is no human being perfect in every
way; such human beings do not exist. If
they did, mortals would no longer be what they are, and the material body would
cease to be, and reincarnation would be done away with.
In my explanation of God's Plan of
Salvation, I called your attention to the very important fact that even the
highest of created spirits is exposed by incarnation to the danger of being
overcome by Evil and to being persuaded to desert God. This danger threatened even Immanuel Himself
Who was fully aware of it. On more than
one occasion He was at the point of succumbing to the assaults of evil.
Within the truth of reincarnation and the
Law of Cause and Effect, which is, "What Ever You Do Will Be Done Unto
You", the word "sin" is used not to designate transgressions due
to human nature, from which not even Immanuel was free, but with reference to
the free will disobedience and wickedness which severs you from God, the sins
whose wages are spiritual death.
To further explain the Law of Cause and
Effect I will define exactly what a cause is.
A cause is composed of three parts: first, a logical and consistent thought
process, second, certain and specific actions, third, a good or evil
component. Each cause will produce
certain effects, which in turn produce more causes. Therefore, if you do good, more good is produced and if you do
evil, more evil is produced.
Remember, whatever good you do will return
unto you, and whatever evil you do will also return unto you, either in this
lifetime or in a future one. There is
no escaping punishment for the wicked and every good deed will be
rewarded. This is not just true about
your deeds, but also every thought you think and every word you speak. Consequently, except for destiny, which is
God's will, you create your own future.
The whole material Creation is waiting to
be delivered from the bondage of physical existence, by this I mean the stones,
plants, flowers, animals and Humans.
Such earnest expectation is possible only where a spirit exists in the
state of incarnation, accordingly, throughout Creation there are spirits,
clothed in various "bodies", rising through the spiritual
levels. They are the rebellious
spirits, which in the beginning resided in glory and splendor as God's obedient
children and as His holy spirits, but who later became disobedient and were
exiled from their Father's house.
But exiled though you may be, you remain
God's children to this day. You long to
return to the home of your Father and strive to rid yourself of the vesture of
substance in which you are clothed, as during the birth pangs a child struggles
to escape from the confines of its mother's womb. You were not subjected to that garment of flesh by your own will,
but by reason of the will of God, Who so clothed you in His mercy, in order
that by trial and purification you might prove yourself worthy of being
saved.
All material beings long for such
Salvation, even though you may not know the way to it nor have the end in view,
you long for the day on which, purified and freed from the bondage of
corruption, you will once more be called a child of God. This longing is present to a greater extent
in the righteous people.
In regards to reincarnation, sin and
damnation, a "doctrine" to which the false religions cling with
astonishing tenacity, although it was never taught by Immanuel, is that of an
"eternal Hell". This is a
false and absurd teaching that they seem unwilling to surrender.
Do they perhaps imagine that they can
accomplish more with poor humanity by preaching a barbarous untruth, than by
preaching love and mercy? What trouble
they go through to find support for this untruth. They say that a so-called "mortal sin" must entail
eternal punishment, seeing that it is an unforgivable affront to God. That is a wholly mistaken, man-made
idea. No spirit can affront God unforgivably and incur unending
punishment. In comparison to God
all created spirits are mere children.
God as our loving forgiving Father is
eager to forgive you if you will sincerely ask for forgiveness and prove your
sincerity by changing your ways. A sin
is a spiritual mistake.
God
would not condemn you eternally for making a mistake anymore than you would
eternally punish your child, who you love immeasurably and unconditionally, for
making one. The concept of an eternal
Hell is obviously the product of an evil heartless mind. God's mercy is unending and perfect.
Anyone with a logical and reasoning mind
who thinks for himself can see the absolute absurdity of this false religious
teaching.
Mainly religions use this
"doctrine" to frighten people into their churches. This is an evil tactic, among many, to gain
control over their lives and to steal their wealth.
If you think for yourself with logic, I
know I have convinced you with my explanation, that there can be no authority
in the Bible or anywhere else to support their ungodly and totally untrue
doctrine of an everlasting Hell.
The truth is, the duration of the
punishment given to the various spirits depends upon the spirits
themselves. The longer you persist in
your rebellious attitude, the longer your exile and the longer your
penalty. Not even God knows when the
individual spirits will come back to Him, since their return depends upon their
own free will, and as I have told you, all decisions at which spirits are free
to decide, lie outside of the scope of God's foreknowledge of events.
The truth is, the tortures of Hell are complete
and total darkness, horrible imprisonment in Satan's dungeons, and many other
types of extreme misery, including the violent attacks of the most evil spirits
who exist. The duration of these
punishments will equal thousands or even millions of Earth years. Now
you have a clear conception of where you will be going on Judgment Day if you
choose to disobey God. The tortures of
the spirits in Hell are in reality good for their Salvation, however cruel the
proceeding may seem, and however incomprehensible to you as not being in accord
with God's mercy. The tortures of Hell
are merely an evidence of the love of God.
The disposition of the spirits of the Pit can be cured only by the pains
and tortures that they have to endure, no other way exists, but to all, even to
the most hardened, the hour will come when, by their tortures, they will be
brought to see the error of their ways and will rise up and go to their
Creator.
It is because the religions of today have
no true conception of the great story of Creation that they are so incorrect in
all of the most important questions relating to reincarnation and the
Hereafter. For the same reason, they
are unable to explain neither the origin of the human soul, nor the sin of the
revolt against God that rests upon that soul, nor the purpose of material
Creation. Their "teachings"
in regard to all of these questions are wholly absurd and erroneous.
The teachers of such teachings do not stop
to consider their absurdity.
When you learn that your spirit came into
this life bearing the iniquity of former existences in the spirit world and
thousands of lifetimes on Earth, the mystery of your situation on Earth is
solved in an instant.
Because you are now aware of the great
revolt against God in which you once participated, as well as previous
incarnations in human form, you can see the possibility of having karma of sins
for which your present life must make atonement, and of course, this is also
true of children. If you will bear this
in mind, you will be less often tempted to exclaim in the hour of deep
distress, "What have I done to deserve this?"
Just as the religions have established a
false doctrine as to Hell, their entire conception of sin as a whole is
erroneous.
God draws a distinction between the sin of
departing from Him and the sins of the faithful committed by reason of human
nature.
The first treason was the great revolt of the spirits led by
Lucifer. That was the first "sin
unto death".
For the ability to return from the kingdom
of the dead in spirit, to the Kingdom of God, no one needs to place one's
dependence upon any human institution, be this an organized religion or a
clergy, as claimed by the denominations of today and in particular by the
Catholic Church. He who has strayed
from God may at all times communicate in spirit with God, the Father, and from
Him receive pardon and strength to live righteously, without the aid of human
intermediaries or church buildings, regardless of how many millions of dollars
it cost to build them, or how "beautifully" they are decorated, or
how long they have been in existence.
The Catholic Church, for example, on the
contrary, teaches the necessity of the so-called "Sacraments" as the
means of achieving Salvation, and since these sacraments can be dispensed only
by "priests" ordained by "bishops", that church possesses
in that false doctrine a perfect stranglehold on its followers to its
organization, since according to its teachings, no one can attain unto God
except through the mediation of a member of the priesthood.
This is obviously the work of the Evil
Spiritual Powers.
These so-called sacraments in reality are
evil traps that Lucifer originated in the ancient pagan religion of Babylon and
passed down through the pagan religion of Rome into the Catholic Church,
"The Roman Catholic
Church".
