I have read some of your articles that say that the survival
personality, or the recently dead person, retains memories of past experience
and knowledge gained in the physical world, and will carry that into a newly
reincarnated life when they are reborn as a new personality. My question is
this, will we then be informed or learn about knowledge that we have been
curious about throughout our past life. Will we meet God? We will we become all
wise?
Dear Anonymous;
Let me thank you for the questions and indeed, we have
discussed these matters to some extent in past articles, but probably not in
the way I will now attempt to explain. It helps if you understand that death is
an enigma that has puzzled the human race for eons and only a few among you
have the insight to understand that death is not extinction of life, but an
extension of life, or as is commonly referred to as a transition of form.
Death ends nothing except the corporal physical body. Not
one iota of memory, knowledge and emotional development is lost in the process.
In a way you could say that nothing that is important is lost in the transition
process. Physical bodies never were important beyond the convenience of the
entity to gain experience in the physical system. There are other systems that
do not require a physical form, but for Earth it is a necessity.
It's all about fulfilling the wishes of the Entity/Soul to
satisfy its interests in developing its abilities in a system of physical
materializations, and the only way this can be effectively done is to adopt a
physical body, fragment a portion of its own consciousness, thereby creating a
new independent personality, endow it with all of its own characteristics, then
giving it total independence in the physical system and observe what happens.
This new personality, must, at least temporarily forget its
heritage and latent "Entity Relationship" while it navigates in the
physical system, otherwise nothing new would be learned. Starting from scratch
must then happen again and again within the reincarnational framework, but
within each succeeding reincarnation, learned knowledge from one life to the
next is not lost, but faithfully coded within the genetic structure of the
future personality, but will remain latent, to be drawn upon as the personality
evolves intellectually, intuitionally and emotionally.
The Entity does not limit itself to one such materialization
in one system, but repeats the process in a variety of other systems, some
physical and some not physical. These other entity/soul selves are your other
aspects that are always in the background of your conscious awareness. They are
you, busy in other realities, so busy that you are intently focused in each of
these reality systems, to the point that you are all unaware of the other
aspects.
In other words, you carry with you all of the traits,
knowledge, emotional and intuitive development that you have acquired up to
that point, and nothing will be cast aside in transition from one
reincarnational life to another. On the other hand, conversely speaking, you
will not carry with you that which you have failed to learn in your current
life.
What you fail to learn in this life is no fault of anyone
else other than you, so it is best to learn what you can while you are in this
life. You will take nothing with you that you have not earned through life's
adventures.
In answer to your question, if I understand your question,
you will not be given easy answers to questions you may have dragged along into
the next lifetime. You could say that answers are never given, but must be
earned.
After death, when you have transitioned to a new form, no
one will give the kind of answers that you want, unless you take the initiative
to learn the knowledge for yourself. Any true understanding of the kind of
answers you seek, involve a progression of learned knowledge, and so simple
answers would be bypassing the pre-requisite foundation of learning that would
lead you naturally to the answers you seek.
There are "survival personality" teachers who will
be available to help you along the way, but again there are no easy answers
given simply to satisfy ones curiosity unless they have sufficient background
to understand. In a way, any attempt to fully explain the reality of the soul
or entity to one who has no previous knowledge of these matters would be
fruitless and would not be understood.
In much the same way, I am somewhat limited in my ability to
convey concepts that defy the natural reasoning ability or the human brain. The
brain has evolved in such a way as to be of great help in discovering and
analyzing facts, but facts are useless in the reality that underlies physical
facts. The brain can learn to accept intuitional knowledge, which will eventually
lead to a more balanced overall personality development.
Facts arise out of the inner universe, and no inner truth
ever arose out of a physical fact. So what you seek in terms of knowledge must
come from a sort of intuitional and emotional evolution of your personality,
and not directly from words, since you would not understand the words.
Obviously then, upon death, you will not be automatically "All Wise"
any more than you will be "All Ignorant". Simply speaking, after
death, you will know exactly what you knew before death, nothing more and
nothing less.
This brings up an interesting truth that should be mentioned
here because it reflects on your question even though there are still many
people who do not understand that consciousness creates its own reality as it
goes, solidifying beliefs and expectations into your everyday reality.
Therefore, at least for a limited time after death, in
keeping with our discussion, you will retain all beliefs that you had before
you died the physical death.
If you believed in Satan before your death, you will see and
experience Satan after you die. If you believe in Jesus, Mohamed, Zoroaster,
Buddha, or any of the other saints or prophets, you will be met by them,
perhaps as you cross the river Styx after death.
If you believe in hell, you will experience at least for
some time, your own created version of hell. Of course these are your own hallucinated
image constructions, but the effects can be very real indeed. The irony here is
that those whose beliefs in those kinds of myths and superstitions are the
strongest, will experience them in the most intense ways, if only for a limited
time, until someone explains the illusionary nature of the images.
In relation to your question, if you believe in a human-like
God figure, He will be there waiting to greet you and comfort you upon death,
exactly as you envisioned Him, but only until you get a clue. Of course, this
God-like vision will also be hallucinated beliefs made real temporarily.
Dead or alive in those terms, you still get what you
believe, think about and expect. It can be no other way.
Help will always available to those who are curious and want
to know, and those are the ones who I have such an interest in sharing whatever
wisdom and knowledge I have to give. I do not squander that knowledge by trying
to force it on those who are not ready, and many are not. I will however bend
over backward to answer comments and questions to the limits of my ability to
understand, and those who are not ready, will find their own answers at a level
of their own abilities.
Finally, let me assure you, you will not meet God when you
die. Even this kind of assumption signifies a lack of understanding that we
must constantly deal with, and I don't mean that as an insult, but it is simply
a belief in ancient myths, legends and superstitions about the Man/God who is
portrayed by the great master painters as the majestic, human-like God figure
with lightening bolt in hand, ready to smite the disobedient sinners.
God is more like an idea, than He is a human. God is an
energy essence intelligence of the highest order, assuming any shape and all shapes.
All shapes speak the image of God. God or "All That is" speaks not in
words, phrases and syllables but in winds, waves, storms, wheat fields, clouds,
stars and men, so I tell you, God surrounds you every day. If you really want
to meet God, immerse yourself in nature, go to the wilderness, visit the beach
or climb a mountain and you will be as close as you will ever be.
