Wow, so many things cropping up in one reasonably short post. Karma, time, reincarnation, life and the final destination.Posted by AOG (here)
Greetings again. It's been a long time since I posted on this forum. I sort of need to vent internal things on a forum like this and I think this is the best place to do it.
Some people believe that reincarnation attaches the soul of the person to ALL of their past lives and that the karma accrued from ALL past lives ends up governing a present life in subtle and invisible ways. That is typically the standard idea of reincarnation people tend to believe.
I'm wondering now if perhaps instead of ALL of the past lives one has lived having an effect on their present life, maybe it's only like, say, the past dozen or so lives that have any effect? And the previous karma's accrued from the lives before the most recent ones become diluted to the point where they dissipate and hold no sway any longer.
It makes sense to me since reincarnation belief is typically a never ending journey to become perfect or whatever the ultimate authority of the universe desires souls to be. This would explain why it takes so long to achieve perfection/immortality/ultimate knowledge of life, and the like, because it's basically like chasing an impossible goal. Perhaps if there was some way souls could increase the lingering karmic effect of more past lives souls would be able to truly learn lessons we need to evolve into higher dimensional existences. Because right now, it seems like people would be learning the same lessons over and over again. So I think this theory kind of sheds some light on that.
Thoughts?
These are simply my thoughts without a lot of elaboration
1. We came from somewhere and all of us retain some of those memories. It is just hard to understand them and even harder yet to believe them.
2. Karma is simply the balance of all things in the universe. This balance goes far beyond the human experience. Karma applies to virtually every single thing in the universe. We make the mistake of taking it personally.
3. Reincarnation is simply the journey. The destination is where we should be focused.
4. Time is a mystery to most of us. Our life on earth happens in the blink of an eye in other dimensions. It is easy to come to earth from a dimension where 80 human years is the equivalent of three days.
5. Earth is designed to be the way it is, with all it wonders and all its horrible attributes. War, poverty, greed, sickness, corruption etc are all here for us. They will never go away. Everything is by design. If one illness is eradicated another will eventually take its place. If one war stops another will eventually come along. Oddly enough, understanding this brings a certain amount of peace to your 'life'.
6. Being put on this earth with a clean mind (amnesia) is essential to our life experience. It is a maddening but an absolutely necessary component of our life experience.
7. The importance we place on human life is intentionally built into our DNA. If it were not, many would not stay. It is one of the greatest deceptions placed upon the human race.
8. Finding your souls purpose or mission is key to the human experience. Each of us must be aware and patient to be able to recognize our souls mission when it arises in this life. Waiting almost a lifetime for this to happen is not uncommon.
9. Trying to figure out the meaning of life is fun and tantalizing but it is not why we are here. Our job is to live our lives as full and as well as 'humanly possible'.
10. When you think and really connect, when you have that fleeting moment of clarity you begin to understand that the destination is the prize. The journey is fairly insignificant.
