An Alternate View In previous writings, I've offered seven different explanations as to how reincarnation may work. There are probably more that I haven't considered, or concepts that I don't have the awareness to comprehend. As you read on, please keep an open mind and be aware that this explanation doesn't negate the classical concepts. It simply expands them and explains many of the inconsistencies I've encountered in my years of exploring the subject. To begin, let's go back to the beginning. Once upon a time there was no intelligent life on earth. But intelligence did exist in the non-physical realms of an energy gestalt we'll call God—but any name would do as well. Now we know from basic science that energy can't stand still. It must, by its very nature, create or destroy, expand or contract. So, as an expansion of the gestalt, the cells within the great body of God divide and subdivide always creating new energy, just as the cells within your physical body divide and subdivide. This is a good analogy, for human beings are energy structures. Let's call the new God cells "oversouls"—each a part of the whole—each an individual. Each oversoul would continue to expand the God energy by continuing to divide and subdivide. This is accomplished in many ways and much is beyond our limited ability to understand. But let's just explore one of the ways the oversouls expand their energy—the area that relates directly to you. As man evolved from ape to human he developed to the point he could support intelligence, thus providing oversouls with a new channel to expand their energy. Symbolically this was accomplished by the oversoul implanting what we'll call a "soul atom" within the human being. Other experiments were also conducted with physical life, including manifestation from the nonphysical to the physical planes. As human history progressed and man became the dominate species, more and more bodies became available. Even oversouls who initially related to other planetary systems now explored the earth, implanting their soul atoms in humans, as a potential for physical experience which would result in the procreation and expansion of energy. In this case, although these humans would always relate to the race of man on the planet earth, all who would follow in their lineage would retain a deep subconscious memory of other star systems. Eventually, as mankind physically procreated, and more bodies became available, the oversouls began to implant their soul atoms into more than one body at a time. Now, in the 20th century, many oversouls are experiencing two or three physical incarnations at one time. Stated in another way, you may presently share a direct connection with one, two or three physical projections of your oversoul. This is the concept of "simultaneous multiple incarnations," which I call your "parallel-selves." Unless parallel lives are a reality, logically reincarnation doesn't work, for there are nearly as many people living on the earth as the sum total of all who have ever lived. So there are not enough past lives to go around. Now, I know those who are doing the historical counting are not taking into consideration lost civilizations such as Lemuria and Atlantis, but that isn't important. The many thousands of people I've regressed have experienced numerous past lives within recorded history. If they are representative of the rest of humanity, which I feel they are, then numerically reincarnation doesn't work. So, considering the concept of parallels, there are only a fraction of the number of people on earth that there appears to be. Take yourself as an example. You are yourself, but you may have parallel selves ... maybe a young boy in Viet Nam ... and an old woman in Mexico ... and let's say, a middle-aged doctor in London, England. You all share the same lineage, which is the past-life lineage of your oversoul. You and your parallel-selves are connected superconsciously ... and may be influencing each other, although you don't realize this on a conscious level. Let's explore this from a different perspective. Your oversoul exists on a nonphysical level and the physical lifetimes are explored as a form of procreation and expansion of the energy gestalt. In other words, what really transpired is the cell we are calling your oversoul divided and you are that new "cell." You are one more cell in a long lineage of cells in the body of God. The part and whole at the same time. As an example: Any cell in your own present, physical body contains your complete DNA ... or pattern or makeup. If human cloning abilities were developed, as is the case with some reptiles, you could be "duplicated" from that cell. In this situation, although your clone would only be part of your totality, from another perspective, it would be your totality. Your oversoul was from a direct lineage of cells or souls that lead directly back to the energy gestalt we called God. Thus, you are part of God ...thus you are God. The part and the whole at the same time! You Are God! YOU ARE GOD. Every living and discarnate individual is God. Together we are an energy gestalt called God. An energy gestalt that continues to expand and procreate more energy. God doesn't exist on a throne in heaven. He is you and right now he/she is reading this article. If at first it sounds complicated, make a few notes and it will quickly become clear. To begin. If you are hypnotically regressed to your most recent past life, you are experiencing the life or your oversoul. If you were then regressed on back to the life before that one ... you would be following your direct lineage ... or you would be experiencing the life or your oversoul's, oversoul. The next important question is, "What happens to you at death?" Do you simply once more become part of the memory banks of your oversoul? NO! Absolutely not! When you die, your knowledge and energy will remain throughout eternity as you. And you are the sum total of all of the lives and karmic heritage or your direct lineage or frequency. Once anything is created it is freed! You are an extension or creation of your oversoul and your oversoul gained great awareness through your earth experience. You can call that awareness karma if you want ...for that is actually what it is. It is karma that you and your oversoul will continue to balance in the future. Now here is how the energy continues to create and expand. After you experience physical death, you will cross over to the other side and find that you now have oversoul status. The way you will resolve your karma and procreate additional energy is to continue the dividing process. In other words you will implant your soul atom into a new baby with a karmic configuration that supports your learning needs. Maybe, as an example, you decide the best way to resolve your karma is to explore the potential of a Japanese businessman and a poor peasant in India. So, with the assistance of higher understanding you implant your soul atom, or essence into these lives. And these two, new human beings are extensions of yourself. Once again ... once anything is created it is freed; so the two identities will be extensions of you, but free individuals. They are on your "frequency" and you will "feel" and experience through them! You will have to totally experience all their joys and misery ... their successes and failures ... their learning! Which is your learning! Thus you will continue to evolve through this experience. Both of your extensions will share the same past-life lineage. In other words, if they were both to be hypnotically regressed in the future, they would experience a past life as you ... OR as one of your present parallel selves. OR they could tap in upon the earth life of your oversoul, or your oversoul's oversoul etc, OR to any of the parallel branches of your direct oversoul lineage. All of whom would exist on the same frequency. Obviously this offers the potential of far more past lives than would be possible through traditional reincarnation thinking. The karma of your Japanese businessman and poor peasant in India will be to resolve the things you hadn't learned in the physical. Of course they will also be the karmic beneficiaries of all the positive or good karma you created during your physical life. When these two extensions of you die, they will create new channels of exploration of their potential. Both the Japanese and Indian will of course attain oversoul status upon their own crossover to the nonphysical realms. Thus the energy continues to procreate and expand. If you examine the concepts I've related thus far, you'll find that they really negate little in the area of traditional reincarnational awareness from the viewpoint of how reincarnation and karma affects your life. There is certainly no way to get away from your karmic responsibilities. Actually this explanation of how reincarnation really works explains all the fallacies I have encountered over my years of conducting past-life regressions—fallacies in the basic and generally accepted ideas of reincarnation. An example is the numerical conflict I've already mentioned. In reality, there are only a fraction of the number of people living on earth as there appears to be. And, another explanation: Often in working with extremely good regression subjects I've found them living two lives within the same or overlapping historic time periods. Research sometimes verified both existences ... and both lives appeared to be influencing the current lifetime. As another example: A friend of mind who is a regressive hypnotist once decided to explore the life of Christ through the observations of those who were actually there if enough good subjects could be found. Through some large group regressions he soon discovered several people who were able to relate vivid details about Jesus. None were key figures in the Passion Play, but they lived during this period and provided numerous details and opinions about the Master. I felt that such odds were beyond probability and that my friend was not being objective enough in his research work. Yet, from the perspective I've discussed, it could be quite possible for someone to tap in on a lifetime of any of those on the branches of their lineage. The probability of a "Jesus-link" might now be within acceptable odds. This concept of continually dividing cells of energy could also explain the Biblical idea that man was created in the image of God. Now, to set the record straight—this information appears to be almost a combination of all the concepts I related in my book PAST LIVES, FUTURE LOVES which I channeled and wrote several years ago. In deep meditation I've asked why I didn't receive this information for that book and I was told that neither I or my audience would have been as likely to accept the awareness at the time. Question & Answers The following are some of the primary question I've been asked regarding this viewpoint of reincarnation: Q: "It sounds to me like what you're saying is, "I've never actually been anyone else in a past life and I'll never be anyone else in a future life." A: "In fact this appears to be true, but the reality is, you experience the effects almost exactly as in traditional reincarnational thinking. I just feel that until now, those on the other side have preferred to keep the thinking simple. That way more people could easily accept it." Q: "But, it's not really re-incarnation the way you've explained." A: "Oh, but it is. You are still the living result of all your past lives. Of course, the lives perceived by a psychic or explored in past life hypnotic regression are actually those of your oversoul lineage. But the lives are certainly affecting you today, just as if you yourself had actually lived them ... which in a way you actually did." Q: "O.K. ... but you tell people they were born with a package of karma they desired to experience. Obviously I didn't choose the karma ... my oversoul did." A: "No-o-o-o-. When the oversoul cell divides it creates a new cell ... a clone or duplicate of the original. You began your life as an exact duplicate of your oversoul. Your "soul atom" or cell was born with a background ... a history. And with karma to experience. Your oversoul's desire WAS YOUR desire ... literally your desire. But once you were created you were free. Thus at the beginning of this life you began to write your own script and to create your own future. You initially draw upon the awareness and intuitive background of your oversoul creator, but with earthly experience comes true free choice." Q: "O.K. ... I can see that. but in the future, as an oversoul myself ... if I pass on my soul atom to others it will be the other who experiences the future life. I'm really off the wheel of reincarnation." A: "Not really. What is the difference if you feel and experience through them? If you totally experience all their joys and misery ... their successes and failures ... if you feel and experience all their learning. What's the difference if it's you or them. It amounts to a larger ... maybe multidimensional you! Those who you create to directly follow you will continue to work on your unfinished karma. The way you will evolve spiritually and raise your vibrational rate is to resolve disharmonious karma. Your goal remains to rise above fear and learn unconditional love. You continue to strive to fully accept "what is" and develop detached mind." "Nothing ... absolutely nothing changes except your own awareness as to how the mechanics of reincarnation work. And in understanding the mechanics you resolve the fallacies that always existed in the concept." Q: "I guess you're right, but I'd prefer to continue to think of reincarnation as I always have in the past." A: "If that works better for you, that is exactly what you should do. Ideally, you certainly wouldn't change anything in regard to how you walk a spiritual path." Click to go to:
