“Reincarnation and You”

Have you lived previous lives? Two-thirds of the world’s population believes they have, based on their own belief in the concept of reincarnation. Through hypnotic past life recollection, many people claim that they have had remembrances of past lives through such regression. Students of deeper forms of meditation have also claimed to experience visions of what they believe to be one or more previous lives.

In Tibetan mysticism, which is probably the most advanced form and practice of mysticism on the planet, they believe in the wheel of birth and rebirth. The premise is that a soul keeps incarnating lifetime after lifetime, until they awaken to their own divine nature and transcend the wheel.

“Releasing Personal Ego Will to God’s Will”

The greatest act of pure folly in human life is to live by the will of one’s personal ego. After all, the personal ego is no more than a composite of limited knowledge and understanding. The personal ego has nothing more on which to form its conclusions than the limitations of outer sense impression, learned knowledge from outside sources, and formal education—which is similarly based on outside knowledge. Outer knowledge—even of the most sophisticated science—is subject to change, which means a truism of today may be tomorrow’s fiction. Upon such flimsy criteria for being, the personal ego is founded. Therefore, when one’s personal ego begins to expound on its will for one’s life, it stands on mental and emotional quicksand.

In spite of this, the average person today clings—sometimes desperately—to this illusion that one’s personal ego and its will must be the definitive decision-maker in their life. Many people feel that if they give up the will of their personal ego, they will be left barren of all joy, and end up living an austere life—like that of monks in a monastery. The truth, however, is quite the opposite. When one gives up the will of the personal ego, more of life’s true blessings become available as a greater number of opportunities become apparent.

“God as Your Guru”

There is an expression out of India that goes, “When the chela, or student, is ready, the Guru, or teacher, shall appear.” Most people take this to mean that when a physical student has reached a point in their consciousness where they are open to receiving teachings of higher spiritual truth, or God-Realization, the spiritual teacher of higher truth, or enlightenment, will appear as a physical teacher in their life.

While there may indeed be times in your life when a spiritual teacher of truth may cross your path, the ultimate Guru, or teacher, is within you—within your own mind as the Presence of God at the center or nucleus of your mind.

A physical teacher who is real and sincere will instruct you that the only true Guru is God’s presence within you, which seeks to intuitively instruct you as to the living of your life and reaching enlightenment, or more specifically, reaching mystical union with God within yourself.

“How to Receive God’s Guidance”

You can receive God’s direct guidance in your life. While this thought may seem exaggerated to many, it is not. When the Psalmist said, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made,” one point being referred to was the inborn ability within the created to receive direct guidance from the Creator.

Some may question how this is possible because there are close to seven billion souls on the planet Earth, not to mention all the souls on other planets and in other dimensions in the Universe. A person may wonder how one Creator can access countless numbers of souls simultaneously. Consider this. If computer technology has advanced as far as it has in just a few short decades of human history, how much more can the creative intelligence or universal mind have progressed, having had eternity to work with?

If there are countless technological techniques in which human beings can communicate with central sources of information such as the internet, it stands to reason that an eternal creator could have long since created human and other species with which it could communicate.
