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".
