Reincarnation: the 35 steps of soul evolution

"The Necessity for Reincarnation" by William Q. Judge The Necessity for Reincarnation Attributed to William Q. Judge To most persons not already Theosophists, no doctrine appears more singular than that of Reincarnation, i.e., that each man is repeatedly born into earth-life; for the usual belief is that we are here but once, and once for all determine our future. Now, there are only three ways in which this obvious unfitness may be overcome -- a transforming power in death, a postmortem and wholly spiritual discipline, a series of reincarnations. There remains, then, the last alternative, a series of reincarnations,in other words, that the enduring principle of the man, endowed during each interval between two earth-lives with the results achieved in the former of them, shall return for further experience and effort. Now, (a) Only through reincarnations can knowledge of human life be made exhaustive. (b) Reincarnations give occasion for the development of all those faculties which can only be developed during incarnation.

REINCARNATION - YES IT IS TRUE Evidence for Reincarnation in the Bible From Ch. 16 of In Search of the Loving Godby Mark Mason All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. The sentence I have emphasized with capitals clearly indicates that people who die still hankering after the things of earth, will be given the opportunity to return to it. “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so I would have told you. It is also exactly what believers in reincarnation say happens when all earthly desires and karma have been worked out, except that they call these heavenly cities “astral planes” (or in some cases “etheric planes”). Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out. After reaching perfection, people spend all their time with God. "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Elijah was a man just like us. As he went along he saw a man blind from birth. and,

Reincarnation and the Bible Many Christians have misconceptions about reincarnation. One particular misconception is that it means people don't inhabit heavenly realms between Earth lives. The misconception is that people reincarnate immediately after death. It ignorantly assumes people will never be permanent residents of heavenly realms. But near-death testimony reveals these misconceptions to be just that - misconceptions. A good understanding of reincarnation begins by understanding the ancient teachings on the subject and comparing them to what we know about NDEs. For thousands of years, Christians believed that when a person dies their soul would sleep in the grave along with their corpse. Many Christians would be surprised to learn that the resurrection of corpses did not originate with Christianity or with Judaism. The first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus wrote about the Pharisees being believers in reincarnation. Jesus revealed John to be Elijah; but John denied it.

Reincarnation is a Reality I'm asked, Do you believe in past lives: YES! Absolutely! I not only believe in reincarnation I have been the kind recipient of memories of my most recent one during a spiritual exercise called Watsu. Turns out, I'm born into the very same family a generation and half later... The facts of my previous life were in fact able to be validated (lucky for me) My grandmother held many keys to these validations as well as had had direct contact with the previous "me". Eventually I point blank asked my grandmother who [insert past life name] was? In this life I did meet and get to know my great aunt (previous mother) though we were not very close as a large geographical distance was between us, she was very special to my heart. It was still another 12 plus years before my Watsu experience. As an after thought...I find that it's a perfect irony, to have recalled my previous life in this way, as Watsu is practiced in the water.
