Reincarnation

The great epic - the many chapters

Finally we can look upon the reincarnation law and the developing souls in the larger, meaningful perspective. One life is an act on the great stage of life, one chapter in the soul's giant epic, and each experience is a learning process in the school of life. Nothing is fundamentally wasted, as each effort is useful in the process of development. We will at any time learn what is possible under the circumstances, and everything will sooner or later bear fruit. The worst catastrophes and tragedies of today will be turned into the dearly bought experiences of the next day, which will sharpen the consciousness, so that mistakes can be avoided in future, and so that no one has to suffer the distress in the past any longer. No living creature is unimportant, no matter how bashful they may seem to be. Everything in the Creation has significance - everything is of value - and we can only measure this value with the individual creature's own criterion.

This perspective brings great comfort, for the spirit of mankind cannot be crushed. The success of life is ensured, and even the most serious delays cannot hold back the tide of life. The river of life flows towards the sea, and in the long run every resistance will be followed by comprehension and acceptance. There is every reason to trust that everything happens for the best, just as we can have faith in life, because the divine guidance will direct everything towards completion. We can also feel the gratefulness because life is the gift, which continuously gushes from the spiritual innermost creating sources. Everything created shows abundance and fruitfulness, which are quite overwhelming for both senses and mind.

The experience of other people's dignity and beauty becomes possible, when we no longer look for the appearance, but direct our attention to the unique consciousness, which are being developed in our fellow human beings. Each of us is unique and unrepeated divine sparks, on the way. We share a common destiny as we work for the divinity expressing itself completely.

And in the last resort the reincarnation perspective points backwards to this instant. The present is the only real. What I did in the past resulted in the existing conditions, and what I do here and now creates the future. The fulfilment of the existence is a treasure that can be found in this moment. It is thus not relevant what we have been and what we are about to be. It is our work now that counts, our completion of this life's work, and we are all, each in our own way, about to wake up for mastery.
