    Smile Metempsychosis-RE-embodiment

    The eastern teachings hold that evolution is caused by mind striving,struggling,
    and pressing forward toward fuller and fuller expression,using matter as a material,and yet always struggling to free itself from the confining and retarding
    influence of the latter.The struggle results in an Unfoldment,causing sheath
    after sheath of the confining material bonds to be thrown off and discarded,as the spirit presses upon the mind,and the mind moulds and shapes the Matter.
    Evolution is but the process of birth of the Individualized-Spirit,from the web of
    matter in which it has been confined.And the pains and struggles are but incidents of the spiritual parturition.Metempsychosis-or Re-incarnation has been
    the accepted belief of many of the most intelligent ot the race,from ancient-Egypt, to great minds such as Pythagoras,Empedocles,Plato,Virgil,and Ovid.
    Platos dialogues are full of this teaching.In this process of be-coming to evolve
    it requires many lives to gain the true understanding of our birthright,in order
    to claim it in full Waking-Consciousness .
    kindest regards michael.

    Smile Karma is the Judge,

    We are not (punished)for what we do,but rather By what we do,there is a world
    of difference.The law of cause and effect hold us all in its sway.Metempsychosis
    teaches that by working with the law,then over a period of many lives we learn
    to be in harmony with the law,and cease to incur any more Debts!!Thereby be-
    coming Free.


    kind regards michael.

    YES!

    Aquinas discussed about it all in his "Treatise of Man" included in Part 1 of his "Summa Theologica". He particularlly talked about weather an idea, defined in thi case by all the objects of our cognition, i.e. of our mind, are that which we aprehend, or that by which we aprehend objects which are not ideas. He concluded that it is that by which. All of these that are that by which are the different parts of our brain/mind, for example memory, imagination, logical thought, spatial thoughtr, symbolic (linguistic) thought, etz. And these by which we aprehend, are par of us,a re what we are, not those which we aprehend by these. Those are parts of the world. Whiles that by which are part of the being. The middle part, the connection between being and world, or, as the world is that which happens, i.e. events, which is motion/change, then we can say, quoting Hedegger, being and time, what there is between, as I was saying at the begining of this ultra long sentence, is TRUTH. Notice I didn't say the truth, for the the truth is not the same as truth itself. Just like that by which is not the same as that which.

    I agree truth,and not (the truth) there is a difference,as you so rightly mention.

    Smile Re: Metempsychosis-RE-embodiment

    Another startling evidence of the proof of metempsychosis is afforded us in the cases of
    "infant prodigies",which defy any other explaination.Take the case of Mozart,who at the age of four was able to not only perform difficult pieces on the piano,but actually composed original works of merit.

    Not only did he manifest the highest faculty of sound and note,but also an instinctive
    abilty to compose and arrange music,which ability was superior to that of many men
    who had devoted years of their life to study and practise.

    The laws of harmony -the science of commingling tones,was to him not the work of
    years,but a faculty born in him.

    There are many.many others.Plato,Abraham Lincoln,coming from a line of plain,poor,
    hard working people,and possessing all of the physical attributes and characteristics
    of his ancestry,he,nevertheless,manifested a mind which placed him among the foremost
    of his race.

    Does not metempsychosis give the only possible key?Is it not reasonable to suppose
    that the abilities displayed by the infant genius,and the talent of the men who spring from obscure origin,have not their root in the experiences of a previous life??

    regards michael.

    Smile Re: Metempsychosis-RE-embodiment

    This poem from the American poet,NP Willis,sums up the principle within this thread/

    Quote NPWillis:"But what a mystery this erring mind?
    It wakes within a frame of various powers
    A stranger in a new and wondrous world
    It brings an instinct from some other sphere,
    for its fine senses are familiar all,
    and with the unconscious habit of a dream

    it calls and they obey.The priceless sight
    springs to its curious organ,and the ear
    learns strangely to detect the articulate air

    in its unseen divisions,and the tongue
    gets its miraculous lesson withthe rest.
    And in the midst ofan obedient throng
    Of well-trained ministers,the mind goes forth.
    To search the secrets of its new found home."Unquote.

    That about sums it up!

    regards michael.

    All acts within law are balanced and the outcome always corrosponds with the act in direct
    proportion,we as human beings can consciously align ourselves to be in harmony with these universal laws,and in so doing,lessen the karma we need to discharge.
