Understanding Reincarnation and Soul's Journey - Spiritual Insights on Karma and True Self
At the moment of death, there is this return to the various elements of our bodies. Generally, except in cases where these bodies remain crystallized... There are interesting doctrines that we won't examine now. But what happens is that in this situation, our Self, our ego, our individuality, the deepest part, we simply remain without thoughts, without emotions, we simply remain with our deepest part, with what we call individuality. So, to get an idea, our thoughts change over the course of time. For example, our emotions also change during a day. They change a lot. But the soul that generated these emotions, for example, the choices we make change during an incarnation and also change over several incarnations. But the soul that makes these choices, that is always the same. This is to give an idea of how we can characterize it - the soul can evolve and does evolve over the course of incarnations, but essentially it is different from our emotions and also from the choices we make. Also when our physical body: for example, it is completely different from when we are born until death, like our emotions and our thoughts, but we are always the same. So there is an individuality, a deeper reality that characterizes us. And this is an exercise that you can also do: that is, sit down whenever you want, without time limit, sit down, close your eyes and eliminate in yourselves everything that is illusion. Say: I am not this; I am not my body, I am not a woman, I am not a man, I am not this, I am not my knowledge... until reaching a point where you can affirm what you are, trying to understand what this deeper individuality is. Actually, it's easier than it seems. To have an idea, an intuition. Then of course, by doing it, it becomes clearer and clearer. It's like a practice. But when you have an intuition of what you truly are, this is very, very... It changes the situation and changes the way you look at others. Because if you have an idea of what you are, you also know, in relation to others, these characteristics. Therefore you can see behind others, have an intuition of the spirit that is behind, which is not of a girl, of a man, but of a spiritual queen, of a spirit that has no time and that has a strength, a power that you know because you knew it in yourselves. It's very interesting if you do this exercise. There is no age, there is no... Because this is a deeper aspect of us - individuality. Now, if the person, if the individual is sufficiently illuminated for having understood everything, for having received wisdom, for having assimilated all the wisdom that needs to be assimilated, essentially this wisdom is the light of Christ, using Christian terms, or becoming a Friend of God and men, consequently. But if the individual has already understood everything that needs to be understood, in this case it is not necessary to incarnate: simply opens the higher world because it no longer makes sense to incarnate. The incarnations that we go through on this earth are essentially a form, a choice, essentially a choice, where we must learn to effectively understand a wisdom that is not notions. Understanding something doesn't mean that someone told me something and I accept it. I must directly experience what this means. To know in the deepest sense means to join. It is union. For example, in Hebrew to know means union itself, also in the sexual sense, in the sense of understanding. So we have to understand this wisdom. And this wisdom is understood, for example, in a very simple way: first of all a person... Let's see how this mechanism works that is the Law of Karma, a person depending on their wisdom has an idea of what is good for them. Let's say that what's good for me is money, a basic, elementary thing, or a car. So, what happens is that I will manage to achieve money or a car and when I achieve that money or car, I will discover that I am satisfied, but there is something that doesn't compensate me. So it's because a relationship is missing. So let's have a relationship. A relationship comes, but then with this relationship there is always something missing. So it's because I'm missing a child or a family. Let's have a family and also then there is always something...
