Confession and spiritual Legacy of the Aviation Pioneer Dr. Ing. h.c. Igo Etrich

-7 - Henry Ford: ‘What some seemed to regards as a special gift or talent, is in my opinion the fruit of experiences gained over many lives. But I have to say in advance that I believe that we are born again. You and me, all of us will be born again numerous times, live many lives and collect many experiences. The seemingly intuitive “gift” is in reality a hard earned experience. - I am, as you know, convinced of the thought of reincarnation… Time was no longer my master. I was no longer a slave to my watch. The discovery of reincarnation procured peace for me. (From “Schlagschatten” by George Sylvester Viereck.) Professor Dr. Fritz Schulze: “Only through reincarnation can the enigma of our existence be solved, only through incarnation does life gain its purpose and death loses its terror, only through it do I know why I live and why I die.” Professor Richard Karutz: “No idea is so seminal as reincarnation, well, it is in a certain sense the only thing that can help today’s mankind.” Empress Elisabeth of Austria: “Culture is inside all human beings as a part of their inheritance from all of their past lives. We bring the virtuous within us from our pre-existence.” The encouragement for studying psycho-scientific problems as well as the exploration of the problems of flight, stem from my father Ignaz Etrich. The most devastating event in his life turned him into a seeker and a knower: The premature death of his 21 year old wife of childbed fever. After the death of his young wife, my inconsolable father simply could not believe that this being he loved more than anything else, should simply no longer exist. Moreover, the concept and definition of an eternally existing soul according to old traditions was hardly plausible and credible and didn’t satisfy him. He could also not find satisfactory answers in Church doctrines to the question of one’s survival after one’s terrestrial death, so that he was forced to obtain and read psycho-scientific books. When he found the assertion in one of these works one day, that the dogma of carnal resurrection on Judgment Day was devoid of any credible basis - because is was not contained within early Christendom - and that the spirit with the soul does instead instantly survive after discarding the terrestrial garment, according to spiritual maturity at rest or fully conscious, something one could convince oneself at any time through one’s own experimental research, there was no dearer wish in his heart but to discover this assertion in God’s laws within his divine will. In books of the highest spiritual level that could be absolutely taken serious, books that expressed a deep faith in God, dealt with schools for mediums and their practises in pre-Christian times, gave more information about the highest psychic abilities of the Saviour and his interactions with the eminent world of spirit, he found the instructions about how the original Christians were trained, how they acted and how they could get in contact with the hereafter. Why shouldn’t the things that were right and good in antiquity, at the time of Christ, not also have validity in the presence? - People are still the same, equally good and equally bad. God the Father, in his infinite wisdom, justice and compassion, has remained the same, and the legalities Christ utilised to make contact
