My experience and memory of reincarnation leaves me to wonder why so many believe in and accept an alternative. It does not take a genius to know that heaven and hell are non-existent. One has only to look into the universe beyond earth to know that. At the time they were first proposed the earth was considered flat and the sky was a continuation of the oceans. The sun and moon were thought to float on water in the upside down sea.
Such a dream could be excused in the light of the lack of knowledge and the unsophisticated ways of people at that time. But surely we can’t forgive such ignorance in the age of space travel and enlightenment.
From the time of the first sedentary settlement until now man has searched for knowledge and to educate himself about how things work. While the first humans may have emerged from Africa the concentration of depositions of the research and suppositions are located in the Eastern regions, mainly in the Levant where agriculture first took hold.
As he ploughed the land and sewed crops man also gathered animals and began husbandry as an industry. The first signs of trade in these commodities were located in the cities of Assyria and Egypt. As they bartered so they also swapped ideas and religious beliefs.
These early steps towards an understanding of the universe took form in a coveted manner. Kings and chiefs used them to elevate their status and to prove their place as gods they began wars and fought others of their status. Men who died in battle were honoured and promised great things in the after-life.
This is the format for the heaven and hell scenarios. Those who opposed their kings were targeted as traitors and cast into hell by their leaders. The facts are, however, that neither place exists as my reincarnation and that of millions of others confirms.
Anyone with reasonable intelligence can see that in today’s world. So where is the logic in continuing the myths and prolonging the make-believe of gods that are fake and a system that is flawed?
When it is examined with modern scientific knowledge religious claims make no sense. To begin with a corpse has no living nerves so how could one feel either pleasure or pain when life stops? Each generation has progressed and their brain-power broadened as the past life experiences are brought forward in our memories so making reincarnation the way forward.
From those earliest first thoughts of religious worship until now the world has changed dramatically. But covering over the roots of religion and brain-washing children into those dreams from several millennia ago is beyond comprehension. Isn’t it on our interest to know the truth and to establish a relationship with the Universal Spirit, the real God.
