Many are familiar with the phenomenon of “déjà vu”, when it seems that something has already happened to you that you are actually facing for the first time. There is still no scientific explanation for this phenomenon. But there is a mythological explanation, according to which there is a reincarnation that operates on the basis of the law of Karma.
How many times do we live? How many lives are given to us?
Someone says - 9, someone - 47, the treatise "The Cup of the East claims - 350, and someone - counted 777 earthly incarnations from lower beings to man.
So how many times do we live? And where?

As a child, I remember a cultural trip to the Theater for Young Spectators to a performance based on the play by Radiy Pogodin “Step from the Roof”. I was then struck by the adventures of the protagonist in time, how he lived one life among primitive people, another among the musketeers, the third among the participants in the civil war, despite the fact that the problem situation was repeated, and the performers of the roles did not change.

Someone thinks that life is like a vacation, you should relax and have fun in it. And I believe that life is a business trip! Life is a gift given to us for self-realization and the fulfillment of what is intended.

Steve Jobs on the eve of his death said: "Death is the best invention of life, because it is the cause of change." Steve Jobs was a Buddhist and adhered to the theory of reincarnation.

Reincarnation or transmigration of souls (metempsychosis) is a religious and philosophical doctrine, according to which the immortal essence of a living being reincarnates again and again from one body to another.
The immortal entity is called spirit or soul, "divine spark", "higher" or "true self". In each life, a new personality of the individual develops, but at the same time a certain part of the "I" of the individual remains unchanged, passing from body to body in a series of reincarnations.

Belief in the transmigration of souls is an ancient phenomenon. Some peoples of the North believed and still believe that the soul of a grandfather or another representative of the same kind enters a child.
The transmigration of souls was first mentioned in the ancient scriptures of Hinduism - the Vedas and Upanishads.
The idea of ​​the transmigration of souls was also accepted by some ancient Greek philosophers such as Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato.
Belief in reincarnation is inherent in some modern movements, such as the New Age; and is also accepted by followers of spiritualism, adherents of esoteric philosophies.

The Buddhist concept of a series of rebirths differs significantly from traditions based on Hinduism and from the New Age movement in that there is no "I" or eternal soul that would reincarnate in it.

In most Indian religions, reincarnation is central. Belief in reincarnation has two main components:
1 \ the idea that a person has a certain essence ("spirit" or "soul"), which contains the personality of this person, his self-consciousness.
2\ this essence can be connected with the body, but this connection is not inseparable, and the soul can continue to exist after the physical body has died.

Whether only people have a soul, or other (perhaps all) species of living beings, is decided differently in different worldviews. Agni Yoga claims that a person reincarnates only in a person. Theosophy - that a person must go through everything, be both a man and a woman.

Immediately after death, or after some time, or in the future world, the soul incarnates in another body. So life after life she takes better or worse bodies, depending on her deeds in previous incarnations.

There is an idea that the chain of reincarnations has some purpose, and the soul undergoes evolution in it. Moreover, in each new life, a person continues his evolution from the level that he reached in the previous life. The faster a person evolves, the shorter the gap from one life to another.

In the process of reincarnation, each time the soul in its new incarnation is given another opportunity for correction and improvement. Progressing in this way from life to life, the soul can be so purified that it finally breaks out of the cycle of existence (samsara), and, sinless, reaches liberation (moksha).

The cycle of birth and death is accepted as a natural phenomenon of nature. And for believers, reincarnation is a clear evidence of God's compassion towards living beings and removes from Him the unfair accusation of causing harm to people.

Hinduism claims that the soul is in a constant cycle of birth and death. Desiring to enjoy in the material world, she takes birth again and again for the satisfaction of her material desires, which is possible only through the medium of a material body. And although worldly pleasures are not sinful, they cannot bring inner happiness and satisfaction. After many births, the soul eventually becomes disillusioned with the limited and fleeting pleasures bestowed upon it by this world, and begins to search for higher forms of pleasure that can only be achieved through spiritual experience.

“The Indians came up with a good religion,” Vladimir Vysotsky sang. - That we, having given up the ends, do not die for good ...
Let you live as a janitor, be born again as a foreman
And then you will grow from foreman to minister
But if you are dumb as a tree, you will be born a baobab
And you will be a baobab for a thousand years until you die.
Your soul aspired upward
Born again with a dream
But if you lived like a pig
Stay a pig…”

The world - as we usually understand it - is like a dream. By its nature it is transient and illusory.
After a long spiritual practice, the individual eventually realizes his eternal spiritual nature - that is, he realizes the fact that his true "I" is the eternal soul, and not the mortal material body. When all material desires cease, the soul is no longer born and is liberated from the cycle of existence.

The Vedas say that the individual living entity resides in two material bodies - gross and subtle. When the gross body wears out and becomes unusable, the soul leaves it in the subtle body. The subtle body, which accompanies the soul in the interval between death and the next birth, contains all the thoughts and desires of a living being, and it is they that determine what type of gross body the living being will inhabit in the coming incarnation. According to the law of Karma, a living being enters a body according to his mentality.

According to the level of consciousness at the time of death, the soul enters the womb of a particular mother through the semen of the father, and then develops the body that was given to it by the mother. It can be the body of a person, a cat, a dog, etc. This is the process of reincarnation that provides some explanation for out-of-body experiences and also explains the ability to remember past lives.

The soul has a wide range of body types - 8,400,000 life forms. The soul can acquire any of them in order to fulfill its desires. Any form of life provides a certain kind of enjoyment and is given to the living entity to satisfy his desires.
In the process of spiritual evolution, the soul goes through a series of animal incarnations and reaches a human body, after which it never returns to animal life forms.

Reincarnation and Karma act as instruments of a loving God, and as laws of nature, the purpose of which is to teach the individual certain spiritual lessons. A person gets into similar problem situations until he finally solves his spiritual problem and learns something important, for example, to love, to love no matter what!

The idea of ​​repeated births is also inherent in Buddhism, since the awakened state cannot be achieved within one lifetime, it will take many thousands of years. But a person does not start his life from scratch. His past life, the family in which he was born and the place of birth determine his personality.
Man has free will and therefore he is responsible for his actions. Only human existence makes it possible to make a reasonable decision. Only a person can decide to get out of the cycle of suffering.

After death, vicious souls enter the world of demons, where they remain for a time that corresponds to the severity of their sins. Selfishly pious souls end up in the abode of the gods, where they enjoy heavenly pleasures until the favorable karma dries up, and this enjoyment is also associated with suffering - from the consciousness of the fragility of pleasure and the inability to make decisions.

If during earthly life the main obscuration of a person was passion, and good deeds balance and overpower bad ones, then he incarnates in a human body. The human incarnation is considered the most spiritually valuable, although not the most comfortable.

Individuals who have been cleansed of sins in their past lives and improved their karma are successively reincarnated from one level to another until they eventually reach the stage of complete purification or until they undergo the process of forgiveness or absolution.

It is believed that the soul of the deceased, reborn in a new body, does not retain memories of previous incarnations, but can show the skills and talents acquired and manifested in a past life.

The phenomenon of the transmigration of souls is described in detail by Plato in the dialogues "Phaedo", "Phaedrus" and "The State". Drawn by sensual desire, a pure soul from Heaven (a world of higher reality) falls to earth and takes on a physical body. First, the soul descending into this world is born in the image of a man, the highest of which is the image of a philosopher. After the knowledge of the philosopher reaches perfection, he can return to the "heavenly homeland." If he is entangled in material desires, he degrades and in his coming incarnation is born in the form of an animal.

In the dialogue "The State" Plato tells the story of one brave man - Era, the son of Armenia, originally from Pamphylia - an ancient legend about a posthumous judgment for a life lived, and about a lot that had to be chosen in turn. It was possible to choose the life of any animal or from all kinds of human life. The soul will certainly change, one has only to choose a different way of life. For example, the soul of Odysseus remembered the previous hardships of wandering and chose the life of an ordinary person, far from business. The souls of animals could pass into people and vice versa.

Many do not believe in the transmigration of souls. And some recognize the theory of reincarnation for its logic and justice, since it explains why pious people and sinless children suffer or are innocently killed. If good people should not suffer, then such people were sinners in a past life.

The idea of ​​the reincarnation of the soul of any living being (humans, animals and plants) is closely related to the concept of Karma. Karma is a set of actions of an individual, which is the cause of his next incarnation. Pious, highly moral behavior enables the individual to progress from life to life, each time experiencing a gradual improvement in the conditions and circumstances of life.
The cycle of birth and death driven by karma is called samsara.

In Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, the belief in reincarnation is combined with the law of Karma, according to which the quality of a personal incarnation is determined by the merits and sins of a given person that occurred in a previous birth.

Why are some people born healthy and others with serious illnesses? Why do honest people who have done no harm to anyone suffer?
According to the law of Karma, troubles, illnesses, problems can be considered as a punishment, but it is more correct to consider them as warnings to a person about his departure from his destiny.

The laws of Karma work always and in strict accordance with the deed; redemption is impossible. Seeming injustice is justice, if you look from the Higher Plan, if you know all the information about a person, and not just the events of this life.

To some, the law of Karma seems unfair, since it restricts free will and makes one answer for the distant past.
But if people knew that life does not end after death and there will be retribution for everything they have done, perhaps they would be more responsible for every deed and for every word.

Karma can be compared to a rope: everything in life is interconnected, every cause has a consequence, "what you sow, so you reap."
Helena Blavatsky wrote about Karma: "Man is his own savior and his own destroyer."
A person creates good Karma not when he does nothing bad, but when he does good to people.
Agni Yoga claims that evil deeds can be atoned for by good deeds.

Another view of reincarnation is that the soul is reborn on the condition that it has not completed a certain mission. Followers of this view view reincarnation as a rare phenomenon, and do not believe that souls are constantly transmigrating.

Christianity does not recognize the possibility of reincarnation. But there is an opinion that the doctrine of reincarnation was accepted by the early Christians. The highly educated father of the Christian church, Origen, in his work “On the Beginnings” (230) wrote: “Each soul comes into this world, strengthened by victories, or weakened by the defeats of a previous life. Its position in the world is like a boat, which is destined for the path to honor or dishonor, determined by past merits and demerits. Her activity in this world determines the situation in the world to come.
But in 543, along with Origen's other claims, the theory of reincarnation was sharply attacked by the Byzantine emperor Justinian and was finally condemned by the Second Council of Constantinople in 553.

Under conditions of severe persecution by the Church, the doctrine of reincarnation could only exist in the deep underground. In Europe, it managed to survive only in the secret societies of the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Kabbalists, etc.
Reincarnation was accepted by the medieval Gnostic sects of the Cathars and Albigenses, who considered each soul as a fallen angel, born again and again in the material world created by Lucifer.

During the Renaissance, the Italian poet and philosopher Giordano Bruno was condemned by the Inquisition and burned at the stake, including for the doctrine of reincarnation. In his final reply to the accusations brought against him, Bruno stated that the soul "is not a body" and that "it can be in one or another body and pass from one body to another."

In the Islamic tradition, a human being is a soul resurrected by the spirit. According to the traditional interpretations of the Qur'an, after death, lost souls go to the court of Allah, where they give an answer for every word and every deed.

As soon as we arrive in the world, we complete our ascent along the stairs of metamorphosis.
You became a stone from ether, then you became grass,
Then to the animals - the secret of secrets in the alternation!
And now you are a man, you are endowed with knowledge,
Clay has taken on your appearance - oh, how fragile it is!
You will become an angel, having passed a short earthly path,
And you will become related not to the earth, but to the heights of the mountains.

Arab and Persian theologians, like the Kabbalists, believe that the transmigration of the soul is the result of a sinful or failed life.

Voltaire said that the doctrine of reincarnation is "not absurd or useless" and that "to be born twice is no more wonderful than to be born once."

Goethe wrote: “I am sure that, just as now, I have already been in this world a thousand times, and I hope to return a thousand more times.”

Leo Tolstoy admitted: “Just as we experience thousands of dreams in this our life, so this life of ours is one of the thousands of such lives that we enter from that more real, real, real life, from which we exit, entering into this life, and return, dying.

The well-known psychoanalyst Carl Jung wrote: “I can easily imagine that I could have lived in previous centuries and encountered questions there that I was not yet able to answer; that I had to be born again, because I had not yet completed the task entrusted to me.

The father of anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, describes the human soul as gaining experience from incarnation to incarnation in different nations. The individual personality, with all its weaknesses and abilities, is not just a reflection of the genetic inheritance.

In the process of reincarnation, the soul draws old emotional, mental and karmic images to itself and forms a new personality based on them. Thus, the soul, with the help of abilities developed in past incarnations and in the posthumous process of assimilation, is able to cope with those obstacles and shortcomings that it could not cope with in its past reincarnations.

Some New Age followers claim that they can remember their past reincarnations without much effort; they simply "see" their past lives.

And although scientists claim that there is not a single reliable scientific confirmation of the existence of the phenomenon of reincarnation, there are cases that defy scientific explanation.
In 1959, the American psychologist Ian Stevenson began studying the girl Svarnlata, who began to tell her parents about her "former life." The girl claimed that in her previous life she had been the wife of a man named Pandley and had the name Biya. In her former life, she had parents named Pandley ... The scientist came to the "former parents" and found out that almost everything the girl was talking about was true. And the girl had never seen them in her life. A confrontation was held, and the girl independently recognized all the members of her “former family”, recalled a lot of details about Biya, who she was in a past life, and named a lot of details that no one else knew except the deceased.

The Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev said that the final fate of the human soul cannot be decided in one short life on earth, especially if a person dies at a young age. But he believed that the soul undergoes further evolution in higher planes. He did not recognize reincarnations on Earth mainly for two reasons: 1\ since according to the Bhagavad Gita there are an infinite number of reincarnations, 2\ reincarnation contradicts the idea of ​​a whole personality when a person does not remember his previous incarnations.

One can consider a series of incarnations as a series of separate lives, but it is more correct to look at the change of incarnations as one life. The spiritual being continuously moves forward along the long path of pilgrimage, with each life coming closer and closer to the completion of the process of self-realization and self-expression.

It is believed that children until about the age of five remember their previous lives. But any knowledge, if they are not worked with, is forgotten over time. A person may not remember the details, but skills, developments - positive or negative, remain in the subconscious.
The subconscious is basically the experience of previous lives, the conscious is basically the experience of this life. Conscious and subconscious interact with each other, influencing decision making.

If a person learns something easily in this life, it is most likely because he did it in a previous life, gained some experience, and in this life a person only remembers. Socrates said: "Knowledge is remembrance."

Personally, I believe in reincarnation more than I don't. I have a test "Who were you in a past life", which I tested on myself, and agreed with its results.
I have always been interested in my ancestors, because I could not find an explanation for many of my interests and aspirations. Why was I born in Russia? why since childhood I have such a passionate love for books? Why do I always "remember death"? It always seemed to me that I didn’t have time to do something in a past life, and therefore I want to finish in this one.
I will give one example. Having written more than half of my first novel, I went to Staraya Russa to show an excerpt from "The Two Jesuses" to the employees of the Dostoevsky Museum. When I asked the director of the museum what novel Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky would write if he were alive now, she replied: “About love, about love in spite of everything!” After these words, I showed her the fragment I brought, where on the first page the main idea of ​​my novel was printed: “Perhaps the goal of life is to learn to love, to love in spite of everything.”

Reincarnation is a matter of faith, and only faith. The truth is hidden from us under a thousand-year layer of myths, distortions and additions. It remains only to believe and try to feel what people could feel and comprehend many centuries ago.

But many prefer not to believe in reincarnation, or in God, or in hell. Because they do not want to accept responsibility for every deed, for every word, and even thought. They want to believe that nothing will happen to them. And meanwhile, every act gives rise to consequences, every cause has a consequence. "What you sow, you will reap"!

Stanislav Grof, a researcher of altered states of consciousness, writes in his book “A Man in the Face of Death”: “Currently, there is clear clinical evidence in favor of the provisions of religion and mythology that biological death is the beginning of the existence of consciousness in a new form ... A person must live life , constantly aware of his mortality, and his goal and victory in life is conscious death.

The main question that torments a mortal person from the moment of birth is the problem of personal immortality.
In search of the meaning of life and the idea of ​​Eternity, man creates various religions and philosophies to make life bearable.

Very soon, the possibility of living almost forever will become quite real.
But for some, living forever is hell, for others it is heaven.
We must try to live not as long as possible, but as correctly as possible!

For many, immortality is the preservation of one's personality, the memory of the past. But is it good?
The hardest thing in life is memory. Especially if she is burdened with sins committed in her life. Living with a load of sins is unbearable. What a joy it is to forget!

Why change bodies and why live at all? Is it just to not die?
The body is mortal, and therefore it must serve an immortal purpose. People die, but their deeds live forever.

The theme of reincarnation is in demand by artists and writers. It is found in the works of Jack London, James Joyce, Herman Hesse, Salinger, Balzac, Dickens and others.
In Richard Bach's popular novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull, we read: "Do you have any idea how many lives we had to live just to come to understand that life is more than food, fight or power over the Flock? Thousands of lives, John, tens of thousands! - And after them there are still hundreds of lives before we know that there is what is called perfection; and another hundred lives to understand that the purpose of our existence is to understand this perfection and manifest it.

“We come to this world as messengers sent on a long-awaited long business trip to a beautiful country. True, some perceive it as a vacation, as a time for relaxation, and indulge in pleasures. But life is not given for enjoyment. Although many cannot resist the temptations that this world is filled with, and, succumbing to temptations, begin to live exclusively in pleasure, wasting precious time and forgetting about the purpose for which they were sent to Earth.

The meaning of human history and human civilizations that periodically arise is the cultivation of a being suitable for life in a community of highly developed civilizations. Therefore, it is not so much the progress of mankind that is important, but the improvement of each individual soul.

Our planet is a testing ground for the education of souls. The soul incarnates on Earth in accordance with the law of retribution for improvement in order to acquire such a quality that will allow it to return to the family of highly developed civilizations. And it will reincarnate until it reaches the necessary perfection. Therefore, each subsequent existence begins with the experience that a person acquired in his past life, and the capabilities of the soul correspond to the capabilities of the provided body.

A person is not free from what is given to him from birth: the conditions of life and life, parents, abilities, body; but he is free to fulfill his destiny, for the sake of which life was given to him - to achieve spiritual perfection.

What can you ask for in the framework of a predetermined fate? It's just about getting to know her and obeying. To know oneself means to fulfill one's destiny halfway. Fate is the fulfillment of oneself, and the fulfillment of oneself is happiness!

Fate is the goal of the earthly incarnation, and it is destined as a task. A person may or may not fulfill his destiny. And if it does not, then it will again and again return to Earth until it reaches the necessary perfection.
And therefore LOVE TO CREATE NEED!”

How many times do you think we live?

Tags: , RSS 2.0 feeds . Comments and notifications are now closed.

Many Eastern religions and local cults support the idea that the soul is reborn in more and more people throughout the existence of the world. This idea is called Reincarnation. It allows a person to explain to himself why he cannot live as he would like to.

In primitive and ancient times, a person, seeing a family resemblance between a grandmother (aunt, grandfather) and a newborn, could explain this to himself as the transmigration of a dead soul. Also, people endowed animals with the Soul, firmly believing that if they lead a sinful life, they can be reborn into some unpleasant entity.

How many times do we live and for what purpose?

The most interesting and mystical question of reincarnation is: “Into whom can the soul be reborn and how many times?”. According to some judgments of theosophy, a person must visit both the male role and the female one. A new life can be better or worse than the previous one, depending on the deeds committed by a person in the past.

Sequential reincarnation (Buddhism) means the gradual development of man - evolution. Starting, a person always finds himself at the point where his past reality stopped. Thanks to reincarnation, the soul can correct the mistakes of the past and raise the level of development of spiritual abilities. Many psychics admit that they remember their previous lives and it is only because of their rich history that they are given such unusual abilities (psychic).

Eastern spiritual practice implies that the goal of reincarnation is understanding by a person of his nature and liberation from bodily desires.

How does reincarnation happen?

The human soul has two forms:

  1. Rough body. This is the material body in which a person lives on earth. After death, the soul leaves the gross shell.
  2. Thin body. In subtle matter, the soul resides in the interval between death and a new birth. She has the ability to think and desire, and therefore during this period she herself can determine the further incarnation.

The soul has a choice of more than 8 million forms of life, but only once having been a person, it can no longer choose the steps of the animal and plant world. Buddhists believe that such a conscious choice of “who will I be in my next life?” you have to go for a thousand years, constantly practicing and doing meditation. And only having managed to come to an inner understanding of life, a person is able to interrupt the cycle of his suffering and choose the best option for reincarnation.

Is death the beginning of a new life?

"The soul of man does not die" - this is the main postulate of Christianity and Islam. And in what form does the life path of the soul continue?

From the stories of eyewitnesses who survived clinical death, we know that the soul resembles a light bundle of energy that can move in space, regardless of obstacles. The famous “light at the end of the tunnel” story also means that death is just a transitional stage during which a person’s memory is preserved. Also, for a certain time after death, a person continues to think clearly, feel and hear others. That is why the development of spiritual life should begin now, and not regret it in the last minutes of life, when the veil between the worlds opens slightly.

The most popular beliefs about the afterlife are:

  1. Resurrection of the dead during the end of the world;
  2. Relocation of souls to hell or heaven;
  3. Reincarnation.

Scientific facts about reincarnation

Usually scientific confirmation for mystical and religious phenomena and laws is difficult to determine. Scientists have been doing research in this area for a long time, because if the transmigration of souls occurs, then there must be some signs of a past life. In addition, if people can remember their past incarnations, then they can increase the life experience of all mankind.

The American psychotherapist Stevenson has been studying cases of reincarnation for a long time, involving eminent psychics in his work, whose abilities were explained by knowledge from past lives. Together they discovered three objective signs of soul transmigration:

  1. Ability for a foreign language, often ancient (much higher than the abilities of ordinary people);
  2. The presence of congenital marks (birthmarks, defects).Some people confirmed their occurrence with stories from the past: for example, injuries could leave their mark in the form of birthmarks.
  3. Historical confirmation(more often remembered by a child under five years old). However, this study does not take into account known historical events. The truth is those facts that can be proved only during long-term studies of files inaccessible to the public.
  4. Having similarities with a person from the past. When collecting evidence about reincarnation, people pay attention to the presence of common diseases (allergies, predispositions) and psychological characteristics (phobias, abilities, talents) in people.

There is a known case when Stevenson, by the shape of a birthmark on the boy's head and the story of his death in a past life from an ax, managed to find a family in which the child died in this way. As it turned out later according to forensic documents, the wounds of the deceased baby coincided with the spot of the observed boy.

The satirist of the 16th century, the author of the novel "Gargantua and Pantagruel" Francois Rabelais, being at his death, said to the priest who gave him the sacrament: "They grease my boots for a long journey ..." This great man intuitively felt that death cuts off a person's earthly life, but not the road which each of us continues to walk after death.

Today, it is difficult for many to believe that we return to Earth many times until we reach perfection in spiritual development.

The belief that we only live once developed many centuries ago. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam - the three main religions - nothing is said about the afterlife of a person. In fact, in the ancient religious texts, hidden from the masses, there was another view of this problem.

Prophets about the immortality of man

V.Yu. Tikhoplav and T.S.Tikhoplav in the book "Great Transition" they write that, according to legend, “when Moses ascended Mount Sinai for the third time and communicated with God, he received knowledge about the secrets of the Cosmos, which were embodied in Kabbalah - the Soul of the soul of laws. In one of the parts of Kabbalah, the knowledge is given that a person has a body made of the indestructible energy of the Cosmos, which, in the form of an aura, surrounds the mortal body of a person, and is itself immortal…”

An important secret that Jesus Christ revealed to people was that the main thing in the development of a person is to increase his personal spirituality. But even to his disciples, Jesus deliberately did not speak in detail about the afterlife, realizing that most people are not ready to understand this. The Son of God only occasionally allowed a glimpse beyond the other side of existence. For example, in the Gospel of Mark, He says: “There are many mansions in my Father’s house…” or “For when they rise from the dead, then they will neither marry nor marry, but they will be like angels in heaven…” According to sources, Early Christians believed in the existence of life after death. But in 325, a Council was held in Nicaea, at which the higher clergy adopted an orthodox point of view about the resurrection, which will happen for everyone only once, on the Day of the Last Judgment. The Church adheres to this dogma to this day.

Why did the Great Prophets not speak openly about reincarnation, that is, about the repeated births of a person? They knew that such knowledge would change people, making them weak-willed and irresponsible. This is exactly what happened to the people of India, who knew about rebirth five thousand years before the appearance of Jesus Christ. The prominent Indian philosopher and religious figure of the twentieth century, Rajneesh Osho, wrote: “The theory of reincarnation has made India very passive, boring. Because of it, the Indians have completely lost the sense of time. This theory allowed people to constantly put something off for the future ... And in India they know well not only how to put off for tomorrow, in India they even know how to put off until the next life ...

Both Moses and Jesus visited India. They saw everything. Mohammed had never been to India, but he was well aware of what was happening in the country, because he was close to India ... All three decided that it was better to tell people: “There is only one life, and this is the last chance for each of us, the first and last. It can only be used now… It was necessary in order to generate a strong desire in people, to awaken their feelings, which would facilitate their transformation…”

Life after death

The facts about the possibility of a person's posthumous life became available to the general public only in the last quarter of the twentieth century, when medical equipment made it possible to return people from clinical death. American psychiatrist Raymond Moody, summarizing the experience of patients who survived clinical death, published the book " Life after life". This was the impetus for other similar studies. As a result, scientists and physicians, after analyzing more than 25,000 similar cases, proved the possibility of life after death.

The stories of people who have been behind the last line and returned back, of course, were different, but they found a lot in common. For example, the fact that, being in a state of clinical death, people were able to hear and see what was happening. Many at that moment felt peace and tranquility, as well as heard unusual noise, birdsong and music. A person suddenly became aware of himself being outside the body and saw himself and other people as if from the outside. At the same time, he had the feeling of flying through a dark space in the form of a tunnel. The most powerful impressions left were meetings with previously deceased relatives or friends, and especially with a luminous, extremely benevolent being who asked the main question: “What did you live for?” Pictures of a life lived instantly passed before a person, as if on a cinema screen ... Then people suddenly felt a certain limit beyond which they could not step. And they returned reluctantly back with a firm belief in the reality of what they experienced ...

Hypnosis for life after death

There are other ways to obtain information about the existence of life after death. For example, with the help of hypnosis, when a person has the opportunity to remember not only past lives, but also the processes that happened to him between lives. So, in the book by V. Pogorelov “The Gospel of Death” one of such experiments is described: “The next patient is a woman, she describes the place where she ended up after death.

SOUL: At first... it was very bright... close to the Earth... now it's a little darker because I entered the tunnel.

DOCTOR: Describe this tunnel to me.

SOUL: It's... an empty, dark passageway... and at the other end you can see a small circle of light. I feel a pull... a gentle pull. I think I should move through this tunnel... and I'm moving on. Now it is not dark here, but rather, gloomy, because the bright circle of light is growing and approaching ...

DOCTOR: Now, after you have had the opportunity to get used to what surrounds you in the World of Souls, tell us how this place affects you.

SOUL: It's so…warm and cozy here. I feel relieved to leave Earth. I want to stay here forever. There is no tension or anxiety here - only a feeling of complete comfort. I’m just swimming… It’s so beautiful…”

deja vu

The fact that people die many times and incarnate on Earth in a new body is also confirmed by such a phenomenon as “déjà vu”. It “cannot be explained apart from the transmigration of souls,” Osho said. - ... You are not the first time on Earth, you have been born many times and died many times. It is clear that for thousands of years it is impossible not to be in the same place, it is impossible not to meet the same faces, it is impossible not to see the same tree and not to feel that you have seen this tree before. Deja vu is a small fragment from a past life, somehow penetrated into the present "...

But why does the Almighty give a person many lives? The well-known medium Sylvia Brown explains this in the book “God. Creation”: “You incarnate physically for a short, rapidly passing period of time in order to improve and fulfill everything that God has planned for you and to which you have voluntarily agreed. You have signed a contract to fulfill this program - to develop and pass on to God the experience you have accumulated to enrich His experience. …Each of you carries divine genes. With their help, you collect your experience and "fax" back everything that you have accumulated. God receives this information and thus increases experience through his "cells"...

Why are we being returned to Earth?

Perhaps the ultimate goal of the Creator is to make us, his beloved children, highly spiritual, loving and intelligent. But this cannot be achieved in one human life. Therefore, people return to Earth many times, where they expect illness, suffering, loss of wealth, power, death of loved ones ... And through all this they must carry, increasing, love for their Creator. When, after many centuries, an enlightened person completes the cycle of his earthly transformations, he will remain in the Higher Worlds. So he will fulfill his innermost desire: to become a particle of God, to dissolve forever in Him. Thus, continuing to live in a different form.

“In order to correctly judge human life,” the Gospel of Jesus Christ of the Aquarian era says, “you must rise and stand on the crest of time and see the thoughts and deeds of people. For we must know that man is not made of clay in order to turn back into clay and disappear. He is part of the eternal, the whole. There has never been a time that he did not exist; there will never come a time when it will not exist…”

Skeptics Is there a past life?
In addition to the Eastern sages, who think a lot about the meaning of life, another thing that can convince you of the existence of past lives is nature. A tree grows from a small seed, which gives energy to nature, and then dies and decays. But new trees are growing in its place. And a person in this chain of energy conservation is no exception. We live by the same laws as nature. Your character, action and soul are all the legacy of previous lives. The body is not eternal. It is made of the same material as the trees and will disappear sooner or later.

Meditation is like a little death
The only way to find out the most important past life events is through regression meditation. For her, she needs to get rid of all the grievances accumulated in this life, and in addition to be physically active and healthy. During this meditation, the heart rate increases greatly, which is quite dangerous for health, so this meditation can be done only in the presence of two specialists. They will help you keep your breathing in the right rhythm until you come to the threshold of your previous lives. They will help your soul then return to this body, because this process can be even more difficult than the exit of the soul. It is not for nothing that in the East meditation is called the little death. Very often during it people die, because they do not want to return to this life.
What does life look like outside the body that is given to you in this life? "On the loose" is very much aggravated hearing. You hear not with your ears, but with your soul. You can hear the sea, words from past lives, the rhythm of the earth. You can see your life in two ways - the first from the outside, you seem to be watching a well-known and beloved person, you see his whole life and suddenly realize that you yourself are looking at yourself. The second is that you see your life as a kind of film, your soul rushes through all its events, unable to catch anything.
If you do decide to try regression meditation, then count on the worst: that you can leave this life. The only thing that can induce your soul to return to your body is a strong desire to work with your heart to correct the karmic mistakes of past lives. If self-motivation is not your forte, look for other ways to solve the mysteries that your previous lives hide.

Alternative to opening karma
To understand the meaning of your life, it is not necessary to conduct regressive meditation. You can learn to meditate without crossing the line of life. Sit comfortably, take a few deep breaths and exhale, and begin to remember. First, sequentially remember all the events, experiences and emotions of this day. Then the day of yesterday, the day before yesterday, the previous week, month, year. And so on until you reach your first childhood memories. Soon you will realize that there are periods of life that give you pleasure, and those that are unpleasant to remember, that you rather want to “jump” in your memories. These painful memories are the key to the meaning of your current incarnation.

From cockroach to woman
You can laugh, but it is quite possible that in a past life you were a cockroach. This is the way of evolution: everything starts with minerals, then there are small living creatures, vertebrates, and only then do we become human beings. By doing too badly in one of your lives, you may very well be reborn as an animal. Evidence of this can be seen if you observe how people react to stressful situations. Some keep aristocratic calm, while others scream and behave like some kind of animals. All this is our heritage.
Another pattern: If in this life you were born a woman, then in the past you were a man. Nature loves balance. Each person must change their gender in order to learn to understand each other better in the process of development.
How many lives are given to each of us depends on ourselves. Do you want to live more lives? Make mistakes in this life so that you can correct them in the next. True, keep in mind that in this case you will have to work hard to find your true love, the less a person is spiritually developed, the less opportunities he has to sincerely love life and people around.

- This is a rather sensitive topic.

Someone believes in reincarnation and rejoices that there are many more lives ahead, while someone considers this nonsense.

Take our joke quiz and find out what time you are on Earth?

After the test, you can read some interesting facts about soul reincarnation.

1. Jews and Eskimos believe that the soul passes from one person to another only within his family.

2. Hindus say that after the death of a person, the soul finds a new body for itself, but only depending on who the deceased was and what lifestyle he led.

If a person was good, then in the next life his soul will go to the righteous and with each new life he will improve the conditions of his life.

If a person was a sinner, then in the next life his soul will not be sweet at all. She, for example, can move into the body of a mother with many children who does not have a livelihood.

3. How a person's previous life ended can be judged by his present life. If in this life a person is afraid of water, then in the past he drowned. Or if he is afraid of fire, then in a past life he burned down in a fire.

4. Today, over four million people in India and Nepal are being prepared for reincarnation. That is, they departed from worldly life and began to prepare their bodies. Becoming hermits and yogis, they began to eat little, take ice baths, be silent and stand on one leg for many hours.

5. In Nepal, in the Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, everyone will be happy to teach how to prepare for the transmigration of the soul. The temple has a house of the dead. Old people are settled there, ready for rebirth, and the priests predict to them in whom and when their soul will move.

6. According to the Nepalese priests, Hitler's soul must be sought among crocodiles or among other ugly and aggressive animals, and billionaires can become exclusively hyenas or scavengers in their next life.

7. There is no guarantee that a good person in the next life will also become a good person, since his soul can be reborn in the body of a sacred animal - an elephant or a monkey. For an Indian, such a rebirth is pride, while for a European it is a shock.

Before you know the answer to the question of how many lives the human soul lives, it is necessary to understand what reincarnation is and what the law of karma is.

In the article:

How many lives does the human soul live?

Probably everyone knows what is deja vu. The feeling that we have already experienced these events, have seen people in this situation, occurs more than once in any person. Unfortunately, today people cannot come to a consensus to explain this phenomenon.

However, there is a theory that such a phenomenon is memories from previous lives. In this case, the question arises - how many times the human soul lives and. But no one can give a definite answer to this question.

There are various assumptions about this. Someone believes that a person has nine lives in total, others insist on 15. If we turn to the treatise "The Cup of the East", we will see that it indicates that a person lives 350 times in total. There are people who believe that 777 earthly incarnations are possible from lower beings to humans.

Today, people are trying in every possible way to find out how to determine who a person was in a past life and how much embodiment of everything he went through. There are special ones for this.

There are also special techniques that allow a person to remember their incarnations. This can be done in many ways. One of the most popular is the use of meditation. The use of this practice makes it possible to obtain information about their past incarnations.

In most cases, people can simply determine whether they were a man or a woman. More experienced practitioners even manage to distinguish their appearance, clothing, determine the country in which they lived, find out how many lives have been lived in total.

Another popular way to learn a little about your past lives is to lucid dreaming. There is a theory that a person can remember his previous incarnations in a dream from time to time. It is enough to learn how to remember these dreams and analyze them correctly.

It is capable of helping someone who wants to know how many lives he has already lived. Such an attribute is sometimes replaced by a mirror or even water. However, if an insufficiently strong energetic, unprepared person undertakes such a practice, then most often he only manages to see blurry plots from past lives, but it is very difficult to get a clear answer to the question.

The last and probably the most difficult way to learn a little about your previous lives is hypnosis. The complexity of this method lies in the fact that it is very difficult to find a professional who will really help you see your early incarnations and do no harm.

What is reincarnation and the law of karma?

What is karma? It is the energy of consciousness in action, the law of cause and effect, knowledge. The law of karma makes the rebirth of the soul obligatory until all karmic cycles are balanced. The doctrine of karma is inseparable from the doctrine of reincarnation.

Since a person is not perfect, throughout his life he continues to commit negative actions, which later must be neutralized. Reincarnation is an opportunity that allows you to balance the number of good and negative deeds.

If you believe the law of karma, then all the speeches, thoughts and actions of a person in one incarnation determine the conditions of life in the following incarnations. It is worth noting that karma does not negate the existence of free will. Each person is free to choose - to be good or evil to him.

Unfortunately, often one life is not enough to neutralize all the negative actions committed earlier. Therefore, a person is given several lives to correct mistakes.

It is believed that souls are not initially divided into good or bad. All of them are created the same, absolutely clean, like a sheet of paper. From the moment the soul is created by God, it begins to exist on its own, and the soul incarnated in the physical body has to make its own choice. From this moment on, all human actions begin to be considered.

It is very difficult to say how a person will have to atone for his sins. One can only make various assumptions. One thing can be said with certainty - good and evil should be equal. For example, if a person stole something, then it is enough for him to donate something to another for free.

If an individual took someone else's life, killed someone, then in the next incarnation he will have to give life to the soul he killed earlier in order to restore the life that he himself took.

Belief in the transmigration of souls

Since people have been looking for answers to such eternal questions as the afterlife, the rebirth of the soul and reincarnation for many centuries, religion has tried to answer these questions. As you know, belief in the rebirth of the soul is a very ancient phenomenon.

The northern peoples were convinced that all souls are reborn as their relatives. This indicates that a newborn child is more likely to have the spirit of his great-grandfather than some outsider.

For the first time, the fact of the rebirth of the spirit was described in the sacred ancient writings of Hinduism - the Vedas and Upanishads.

The ancient Greeks also expressed similar theories. Pythagoras, Plato and Socrates talked about the possible transmigration of souls.

Today, the New Age movement promotes the belief in the rebirth of the soul. There is a lot of controversy as to whether only people or all the creatures around us have a soul.

For example, Agni Yoga assures that the human spirit can only be reborn into a human being. There is also an opinion that the soul can become both a man and a woman. However, in Buddhism, it is believed that initially the spirit inhabits the body of some animal and, as it develops, can eventually become a person.

But not all religious denominations agree with the idea of ​​reincarnation. For example, the Christian religion absolutely denies the possibility of rebirth. As early as 543, the theory of reincarnation was criticized by the Emperor Justinian. Such a doctrine was finally condemned in 553 by the second Council of Constantinople.

Flavius ​​Peter Savvatius Justinian

Precisely due to the fact that today there is not a single real confirmation of reincarnation, the cases that people encounter are very difficult to explain, and it is impossible to accurately answer the question - is it possible for the transmigration of souls. Therefore, everyone decides for himself what to believe in.

Using a variety of magical sessions and tests, you can determine what kind of life you are living at the moment. However, many people treat such practices more as entertainment than a way to get reliable information. It can be said with exact certainty - no matter whether reincarnation and the law of karma exist or not, the more good deeds each individual does, the better it will be for himself and for all of humanity.

It is known from the esoteric literature that there are many ways to determine this.

1
It is believed that the planets in the horoscope of a person's birth are located in exactly the same way as at the time of the death of the same person in his previous life. That is, people are born with the experience that they gained during their previous stay on Earth and with which they died.

How to find out how many times your soul has already reincarnated on earth. It is believed that the more a person suffers in his current life, the more “mature” his soul is, the closer he is to the end point of reincarnation. During previous incarnations, such a person has accumulated many sins and now atones for them, becoming closer to God. And people who have “young” souls easily commit dangerous misdeeds, sometimes commit crimes, and it seems that life does not particularly punish them. Such people have a very hard work to do - they still have to atone for their sins in the next incarnations.

2
There are other ways to find out how “mature” and experienced your soul is. In mythology, the moon is most often the repository of souls after death. According to legend, birth and death are caused by the phases of the moon's waning and growing, because every 28 days the moon "dies" and then is born again.
It is believed that people born on the new moon and the second lunar quarter are people with a "young" soul. Those born on the full moon and the fourth quarter are people with an "old" soul.

3
A more accurate way to determine the age of the soul is the usual zodiac horoscope. The most "adult" souls are those of people born under the sign of Pisces. The farther your date of birth is from this sign (count counterclockwise), the “younger” your soul. Aquarians are also "old men", Capricorns are already "younger". The "youngest" souls are those of Aries. People under this sign are also just beginning the difficult path of multiple reincarnations, they are still new to the coming sufferings, and this is probably why they have such an unbridled temperament.

4
In what era did you live in your last incarnation? A more or less accurate answer can only be given by a personal horoscope, but you can approximately get an idea about this based on the elements of your sign

Recall these elements:
Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Water-Cancer Scorpio, Pisces.

Representatives of air signs are people who, one might say, are lucky. Quite a few years have passed since their past life - no more than a hundred, and an average of 20-30. Some manage to reincarnate almost within one or two years. This is great luck, because there are many more souls wishing to incarnate than there are bodies, so the “queue” is stretched for millennia.

Representatives of fire signs have been waiting for their “turn” for two or three hundred years. The last time they lived in the Renaissance, during the time of the knights and the cult of the Beautiful Lady. Therefore, representatives of fire signs are so sensitive to the concepts of nobility, honor, chivalry, justice.

Earth signs are waiting for a new incarnation for several hundred years. The last time the representatives of these signs lived during the dark Middle Ages. This explains their craving for the land (the Middle Ages - the era of the development of the peasantry), materialism (during the Inquisition, heretics were sent to the stake) and some constraint in actions and thoughts.

And finally, water signs have been waiting for a new incarnation for more than a thousand years. In a past life, he | were embodied in ancient times, and this can explain the special romanticism of spirituality - faith in God, faith in love and bright feelings. Most of them are poets, musicians and artists. Special people are those who were born on the last day of their sign. It is believed that they have some unfinished business left from a past life, a difficult karmic task, therefore, especially a lot of bumps fall on them in this life.

Do you believe in it?
