UNDERSTANDING REINCARNATION AND THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT

Let's start by saying that if reincarnation does not exist, how is it that one person can have a longer lifetime than another?? It must be understood that the person with the longer life, theoretically speaking, will always have many more chances and opportunities in life than the person who perhaps died as early as 35 years old, a teenager, or an infant for that matter.

 

No, if there is any justice from our divine parents, and there is, then there must be an entirely different explanation, REINCARNATION!! We are simply putting on a new body just like we put on a new set of clothes. We are the same soul, the same " I " but with different "clothes" and circumstances. Now we can better understand and accept the various challenges and circumstances we have to go through in our lives.

 

We should actually look at reincarnation as a very beautiful grace and gift from God instead of thinking of it as some "hokus pokus" creepy and scary fantasy which we don't want to deal with. Just think that we will be allowed the opportunity to correct bad actions and negative behaviour, etc. and develop us on the righteous path home to our Divine parents. And we should learn to recognize and accept reincarnation as God's love and compassion shown in full force.

 

Regarding the worry and fear of losing family and friends which make many people insecure, there is absolutely no need to be sad or afraid of not seeing them again. Heart-friends and family-souls recognize each other immediately, no matter which "suit" they have put on — and the same applies to one's enemies.

 

Many Cosmic Laws exist, but the one I will mention to you is undoubtedly connected with reincarnation. It is the Law of Cause and Effect. Also known as the Law of Karma or the Law of Justice, it comes into effect according to how we have acted in thought, emotion, word and deed from one incarnation to the next. So always remember "we reap what we sow" and "what goes around comes around".

BEING A CO-WORKER WITH THE DIVINE PLAN -- PART TWO

ONE´S INNER ATTITUDE

 

Whether your work within the great divine plan requires you to live in abject poverty or to hold a high position and command a great fortune, you must regard either of these merely as a means to a great end. Neither of them must change your inner attiitude.

 

Learning to accept everything in this way is divine. On the other hand you must always be able to decide when you, as a representative of divine guidance, must defend yourself against humiliation or calumny. In the same way, there are times when you must be able to decide that it´s the right thing to do to withdraw modestly from glorification by the crowds and masses. To accept everything must never be allowed to degenerate into apathetic indifference or cowardly lack of character.

 

LEARN TO DIFFERENTIATE

 

Always choose the best and don´t be satisified with what is inferior. You must be able to differentiate and distinguish what´s beautiful from what´s ugly, the good from the bad, the true from the false, the divine from the satanic. Without a completely developed power to differentiate and distinguish, one can´t be a useful co-worker in the great plan.

 

If you want to be useful, you must also be able to fight with all your energy. With the sword of truth you must be able to fight the shadow of error in order to help bring about the victory of divinity on Earth. But your noble and courageous willingness to fight must never be allowed to degenerate into stupid quarrelsomeness.

 

SPIRITUAL WEAPONS

 

Even though you must often fight bravely, you must not forget that you have to fight with spiritual weapons in order to bring peace to Earth. You must fight to restore unity to what has been torn apart, to restore peace to those who are fighting. But your love of peace must never be allowed to turn into a cowardly or comfortable kind of not wanting to fight.

 

In order to be a useful co-worker you also have to learn caution, at the same time being able to decide the right time and the right place to use this divine gift. You can save yourself and others from great dangers, harm and useless sacrifices through the proper exercise of caution. But the divine gift of caution slips over into satanic cowardice when one doesn´t dare to do something because of fear or lack of self-confidence.

 

One must possess unflinching courage, and you must not fear any danger. You must stride forth courageously to face any difficulty, valiantly fending off any attack against the divine when the great goal you´re working for requires it of you. But divine courage must never be allowed to dteriorate into dare-devil recklessness.

 

EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD

 

As a co-worker within the great plan you must also understand what it means to possess nothing. Whether your task demands abject poverty of you or gives you the greatest wealth, you must always remember that nothing, absolutely nothing, ever or anywhere really belongs to you. On the contrary, everything is God´s property, and from his/her property you receive something only for your actual needs, corresponding with your task.

 

Just as it´s a matter of indifference to a canal whether more or less water flows through it, because the water doesn´t belong to it, you too must regard everything fate gives you as something that comes to you from God, and something you must pass on. What you will have to live on is something you don´t need to worry about. You will always receive as much as you need. And no matter how rich you might be, you must always remember the fact that you really possess nothing. But this divinely positive attitude must never slide down into not caring about anything or contempt of things material. You must never expect the people about you to maintain you without work on your part.

BEING A CO-WORKER WITH THE DIVINE PLAN -- PART ONE

 

YOUR TRUE BE-ING

 

If you want to be a good servant within the divine plan for salvation of the world, you must never forget that you do not live and work on your own strength. All power comes from God, and all powers you manifest come to you from your Higher Self -- from God. Constantly remember that your person as such is an imaginary be-ing. Your true be-ing, the only, eternal reality within you -- is GOD.

 

This is why self-confidence means having confidence in the God dwelling within your heart. and not in the phantom being of your person as such. Divine self-confidence is indispensable for every creative activity and represents an inner union with God. But when a person imagines his qualities and powers are his own and not God´s he turns divine self-confidence into satanic false pride and presumption.

 

PRESENCE OF MIND 

 

To be a co-worker within the great divine plan you must also be able to make decisions with lightning-like speed. You must learn, instantaneously, without hesitation, to choose the best of a number of different possibilities. Situations can arise in which only a moment´s delay can mean missing the unique, never-recurring opportunity.

 

When you can act in a moment, with complete concentration and with a presence of mind that stands above and beyond all concept of time, your power to decide instantly is divine. But acting quick as a flash without concentration and presence of mind turns divine lightning-like speed into satanic haste.

 

This is why you must also learn "Divine Cirmcumspection". Before acting, you must control your temper and with lots of patience allow the decision to ripen within you. In order to recognize the will of God you must often allow yourself time to reach the right decision. That´s what it means to act with prudence. But if you carry prudence and circumspection to the point of never reaching any decision at all, you´re turning divine circumspection into satanic, doubting indecision.

 

YOUR INNER VALUES

 

As a useful co-worker in the divine plan you must learn to accept everything that fate brings you. Your worth is not determined by external circumstances but by the degree in which you manifest God. Worldly degradations and humiliations cannot destroy, or even reduce, your inner values. By the same token, praise or glorification cannot make them greater either. For this reason, you must never be affected by the way ignorant people treat you. You remain what you are whether people vilify you or glorify you. Learn to be contented in all and any conditions and to accept the circumstances fate gives you with complete imperturbability.
