Reincarnation??? What do you think??
"The idea of reincarnation is a fanciful way of addressing unlived life. If we take it literally, it seems
to suggest that we are reborn through time as different people or even animals. This is the ego's attachment to an identify. Literalism is always a form of idolatry, and the idol is usually our own ego. The ego can't imagine its transformation and so liberalizes it. ...
Understood psychologically, reincarnation refers to the redemption of our unlived life, the necessity of addressing all our potentials before we can realize God(unity). There are thousands of potentials within, all of which are calling simultaneously be expressed and experienced. This is the meaning of reincarnation for the modern person. All of our potentials want to be incarnated, to be lived out before our journey back to wholeness is complete. All of them are vying for attention simultaneously. Reincarnation is not for another time, another place, another existence-it is now. Understood at the proper level, we are in all our incarnations simultaneously. We embody divine consciousness.

But if I'm living all of these lives simultaneously, in what way are they unlived? Sounds pretty lived to me.
ReplyDeleteI think what is being said is that only the enlightened person actually lives all of the incarnations. That most of us because we lack
ReplyDelete"wholeness" also have much unlived life. I'm not sure I agree but I think that is the point being made.

ReplyDeleteI love the London quote! Is it the enlightened person, or the enlightenment within ourselves?
ReplyDeleteIts the light within us all. We just have to get out of the way and let it SHINE.
