The luxury of being incarnated
Most people do not understand how expensive it is to be incarnated. At least spiritual seekers should understand this. When you understand, then you have a great motivation to work on your progress.
Imagine that you are 50 years old. You made it through your childhood. You went to school. You have completed your apprenticeship or your studies at university. And today you are still working 8 hours per day. Maybe you have a family. In these 50 years you have done so much. You have learned so much. And you have accomplished so many duties, tasks and things where no one has ever asked you if you want to do it. You have had to face all kinds of problems, probably also suffering and pains, diseases, injuries, etc. All in all in these 50 years you have came a long way.
And now imagine that a voice from heaven calls you and says “Hey, it is time to do the whole stuff again!” You get a heart attack and then you directly start your next incarnation. You go to school. You complete your apprenticeship. You work 8 hours per day. You face all kinds of problems. You suffer from diseases, injuries, etc.
In conclusion, life on earth means in main hardship, work, duties while the fun part might be sufficient to survive it all. And as long as you do not work on your spiritual refinement, you will experience a lot of undesired stuff again and again. For this reason, for all the hard work which is required during the incarnation, I call it luxury to be incarnated as we pay a high price and for these reason I always say that time on earth is most precious. Unfortunately, most people do not understand this.
Imagine if you had to pay for each single hour of your life 500 Dollars. Would you waste a single minute for something stupid? And if you are paid for each hour of spiritual development 1000 Dollar, would you neglect your training?
When I talk with people, with friends, they all say that they feel absolutely no desire to reincarnate again. But certainly, we all will come back.
So, all the hardship in life on earth should be a powerful motivation to make spiritual progress.
In fact, it is fate which is kicking hard the butts of people as the angelic voices which are calling for heaven are not enough.
In the end, it is our free choice what we do here on earth.
Hi Ray,
I don’t understand the purpose of reincarnation. If my ultimate goal is to be one with God and be a spirit then why am I trying to perfect my humanity.
I understand the true me could have reincarnated from anywhere in the universe and I am not specifically human.
I should be trying to improve the real me, my soul/spirit. If I remembered all my lives and what I was supposed to be working on it would be so much easier to make the improvement, altho I am not certain why I should do this in human form or any other form that is not me and hinders me from being who I really am.
And if in my true form of spirit I have access to all the knowledge of the universe then why can’t i just access this and be perfect instead of trying to be better in a human body?
Thanks
Kim
Dear Kim,
for spiritual people it appears as a goal to reunite with God. Indeed, life and reincarnation are about going through all ideas of creation and making experiences. You can compare it with being an actor in a stage play. The aim is not to finish it but to enjoy acting in the play.
Life wants to be experienced in all its aspects and the roles change by time. Life and creation are a journey of God to experience himself. It is all a matter of self-awareness.
Once you have reached a certain level of development, you are not longer interessted in the kindergarten level of life and you long for the university, for real values, for understanding of God, mankind and creation. The focus simply changes by growing older.
Hello Ray … it’s a little disturbing, you say that it’s inevitable to reincarnate here, but Bardon and other systems (Tao, alchemy, etc.) believe and motivate to free themselves from the Circle of Life and Death, I think it’s a very important goal and very necessary, if not, because Bardon and so many other magicians, mystics, teachers and alchemists would have wanted or spoken or exposed as a truth the astral and physical immortality?
Reincarnation, immortality and freedom are different things. Real freedom or the highest freedom is to be free to do what you think is right/good. And this includes your decision if you want to reincarnate, if you want to become immortal and so on. When we see the big picture, then 99% of all masters reincarnate to fulfill divine missions on earth. It is the free will and the decision is done by insight that it is right and makes sense even if they have to accept a lot of hardship on earth.
So even if you can dwell in a paradise in the higher realms, you will see the need for coming back to earth to serve mankind and creation according to the divine plans.
Certainly, a lot of people do not like to come back when they are asked but it is the limited understanding of how creation works. When the consciousness is expanded then things change.
it’s quite confusing, to say that you have free will but only from the perspective of a “truth” imposed … I do not understand the personal reasons to be manipulated in that way … thanks for answering ✌
There is no manipulation. It is your own insight to do something respectively that it makes sense to incarnate again for a higher purpose or for doing something which you want to do.
