Reincarnation and Karma - Addendum

60 • A religion should not be persecuted, but scientifically fathomed. September 1974 Reincarnation The major churches were much more powerful in the past than is the case nowadays. Political power is superior to that of the churches these days. This is the reason why the Catholic Church had the power to extirpate the doctrine of reincarnation. This was an absolute arbitrariness against an enormous doctrine of truth. There has not been one suitable exemplar ever since that encouraged people to delve into this deeper, because human thoughts directed against the commandments of the church were and still are condemned as heresy . • Those that believed in renascence were called heretics; because only priest had the right to decide what truth was and what not. But occasional thoughts that dealt with reincarnation surfaced every now and then in spite of this. The sciences however argued against them. Many scientists are not comfortable with the idea of having to return to Earth, back to a world they mistreated and lied to often enough. But nothing can be changed in regards to reincarnation; it represents one of the most important stages of development of mankind. Reincarnation doesn’t just apply to terrestrial people; it applies to all human races throughout the universe. GOD did not create an immense number of planets so they could simply move through space unused and unrecognised. All types of life-opportunities are reserved and specified for human beings. Distances do not play a role, because pure spirit moves as fast as thought. • Terrestrial people should however contemplate the notion of what happens when they must return to a destroyed world! International spiritualism managed to ascertain through its contacts with the hereafter that undeveloped souls are restricted to locality . This is why many castles and palaces have a reputation of being haunted by local ghosts. The more evil a ghost, the worst it failed during its lifetime, the more restricted to locality it is. One therefore has to consider the idea of whether planet Earth is not also a place for spirits that are restricted to locality . A reincarnation can for instance be a locally restricted renascence of an abnegator. This would mean that certain criminals, for instance war criminals, nuclear vandals and other enemies of human society are born again on this Earth to then live in a world they detested and defiled. Reincarnation can under certain circumstances be a form of punishment, ergo KARMA. The doctrine of reincarnation is spread all over the world and in spite of the Christian Church’s attempts to eradicate it, it is a part of almost all other religious denominations. Man’s renascence is in many cases even the centrepiece of a religion. This insight – because this doctrine is an absolutely genuine insight – is the only sensible explanation for the continuing development of mankind. Any disregard of this insight has dire consequences. Even if the sciences have something against general church religion and sometimes appear to be its enemy, the same should not be the case in regards to reincarnation, because this would go against all logical thought.
