18 REINCARNATION
Reincarnation is a metaphor that attempts to have us believe
that we must reincarnate in order to achieve an eventual oneness
with God.
Many believe in reincarnation as the constant re-entry of a soul
into a new body. Reincarnation is taught as a necessity for eventual
oneness with God. Reincarnation is a school to which one goes in
order to receive a certificate of perfection that allows one to
be, at some point, at one with God.
Our logical minds never stop striving to create some kind of fiction
that will give us the hope of heaven. It is man who has conceived
of the reincarnation metaphor as a way to heaven. Man has created
reincarnation in order to achieve that which he already possesses,
a oneness with God.
In truth, one enters this physical reality as many times as he or
she desires. That is all. One comes because one comes. One comes
and one experiences.
I am conscious of this time and place for reasons that I cannot
begin to understand. But I know that I have not become conscious
of this reality
for the same reasons that I may take a math course in order to graduate
from high school. I do not need this lifetime to be at one with
God.
We are all a part of the Infinite Potential. We are all a part of
God. We are all a part of each other. So it is, has always been
and so it will always be.
In all dimensions, on all levels and in all realities we are at
one with God. Everything is as it should be and we are in this reality
because we wish to be. Our reasons for being here are a part of
our individual souls and can be remembered and understood if we
will simply look inside ourselves.
We may in fact reincarnate, but not as a test or a condition of
eventual
oneness with God.
Inner peace comes in knowing that we are already perfect and
at one with God and that reincarnation is a choice, not a requirement.
