2 Modular Reincarnation

Humanity, from a global point of view, has a lot of ideas in common.
A significant percentage of Humanity belief in a system of reincarnation. They only differ regarding details, so I will not speak about those differences.

The shared concept of reincarnation teaches us that living in a body is only a short part of an exceedingly long process of learning. This point of view assumes that we are more than just a biochemical machine.

Layers of consciousness
Within the concept of reincarnation, there are several layers of consciousness.
These layers each have their own characteristics.

I use a simplified model, so that a mixed group of readers can understand what I am talking about.

We will now start a journey through these layers.

The world we can touch
The order of the layers is from the outside to the inside.
Layer 1: This Universe in its material shape as a large system of space and time.
Layer 2: Our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Layer 3: Our Solar system, our Sun, and all objects (planets, moons, asteroids, comets, gas, and dust) in a large cloud around it.
Layer 4: Our planet Earth with its Moon.
Layer 5: The culture or cultures you are part of.
Layer 6: Your family.
Layer 7: Your body as an individual.

Inside your mind
Travel without doing something with the thoughts coming up in your mind, just watch it happening.
Layer 1: Your rational mind, your conscious thinking, the archive of thoughts of which you are aware.
Layer 2: Your emotional mind, your conscious feeling, the archive of feelings of which you are aware.
Layer 3: Your subconscious mind, the archive of thoughts and feelings of which you are not aware.
Layer 4: Your subconscious collective mind, the archive of thoughts and feelings that you are not aware of and share with your family, culture and other people and cultures you relate to.

Imagine a gate in the deepest parts of your mind.
Now we step through the gate and arrive in another world. At first it will be confusing, but just stay calm and only observe, do not DO anything, just observe.

Layer 5: You are now “The Observer”, your “Immortal Spirit”, the part that watches and guides all your lives in the past, the present and the future.
It can do this because:
a. This Spirit is nor man, nor woman, it is an “it,” because it is the perfectly balanced unity of all the opposites of which we can think.
b. This Spirit lives in the fifth dimension and is watching your lives in several locations in space and time simultaneously, as if it is watching a row of screens on a half-circle. The centre is the present, from centre to the left it goes into the past and from the centre to the right it goes into the future.
c. It can send vibrations to the screens to provide an incarnation with energy, love, knowledge, and creative ideas.
This picture represents you as 5-dimensional being, watching all your incarnations in the 4-dimensional world, Einsteins space-time.

< Past______Present_____Future >

Spirit

Layer 6: A group of Spirits cooperating as a team to guide the mortal incarnations in the process of eternal progress. Groups are formed based on shared themes. Your Spirit can be a member of several groups of Spirits. Since at this level you are not bound to the limitations of space and time, the number of groups can be infinite. On this level you are infinite and eternal, in relation to the world of time and space your body exists.
Layer 7: The collective mind of all the Spirits involved in all the processes within this Universe, also known as “Cosmic Consciousness”.
Layer 8: The collective of all the Spirits involved in all the processes within this Multiverse, also known as “Supra Cosmic Consciousness”.
Layer 9: The collective of all the Spirits involved in all the processes within the Omniverse.
You are now at the final destination of your spiritual journey. Here you can experience the “Unity of all that exists”.

Reincarnation: Reward and punishment vs. Eternal Spiritual Education

I hope our mental journey was not too boring, shocking, or exhausting for you to be able to read more about reincarnation.

Traditional reincarnation theories are based on reward and punishment.
In traditional reincarnation theories we live a many of lives, going through the following fixed order of existence.
1 Minerals
2 Plants
3 Animal
4 People in the lowest economic and cultural classes
5 People in the workers economic and cultural classes
6 People in the middle economic and cultural classes
7 People in the higher economic and cultural classes
8 Priests
9 Angels (or Avatars)
10 Gods

If you are obedient to the rules that are valid for your level of existence, you move upwards in your next life.
If you are disobedient to the rules that are valid for your level of existence, you move downwards in your next life.

In modern reincarnation theories, a higher “Holy Law” transforms the whole classical system to a modern system. This is the “Law of Compassion”, or in Christian words: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the first and great commandment. And the second is likewise: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Bible Matthew 22:37-40).

The modern theory of reincarnation teaches that our eternal development is not based on reward and punishment but is a matter of learning: “Eternal Spiritual education.”
So, if you do not learn the lessons this life has offered you in the shape of all kind of opposite experiences (for example: life vs. death, health vs. sickness; prosperity vs. poverty, knowledge vs. ignorance), you will have the opposites presented to you in a heavier way in this and your next life. That will feel as more suffering, until you learn your lesson. When you understand the lesson AND PRACTICE IT, the suffering caused by that subject disappears gradually. You can help others to learn it faster, by your positive example and through creating events at the small scale of quantum physics, when you have learned how to do this with meditation.
Modular Reincarnation

Within Buddhism gradually the idea of “Compassion” not only changed the concept from “Reward and punishment” to “Eternal spiritual Education.”
It also states that we have the right to make personal choices as individuals while we live as people in a mortal body. This has more than just political consequences. Modern Buddhist teachers tend to understand it even has consequences for the whole eternal model of reincarnation.

If a mortal Human has the right to make personal choices as an individual in society, we probably have the same principle at the eternal level as Spirits.

This leads to the possibility to choose between several models of learning or “Modular Reincarnation”:
a. Thousands of lives with a stage in between, where we are evaluating our past life and preparing for the next life.
b. Not thousands of lives, but still many lives, with larger stages in between, where we are evaluating our past life and preparing for the next life.
c. A few lives, with large stages in between, where we are evaluating our past life and preparing for the next life.
d. Only one life as a Human, with a large stage before, preparing for that life, and eternal learning as an immortal Spirit after that one life. (like most Jews, Christians and Muslims believe).

With this lesson I hope to have created a small step towards understanding a “Theory of everything,” within the context of religion.
In time, I hope to contribute to growth of:
a. mutual understanding
b. cooperation in caring for our vulnerable fellow human beings
c. cooperation in caring for our vulnerable planet
d. sharing spiritual knowledge
e. organizing conferences of the leaders of the several religions we have globally
f. making an end to war, starvation, poverty and in the end even death.

Finally, a personal remark: I do not judge individuals, groups of people, orginazations or religions. I feel compassion for all of them and do not want to hurt or insult anyone or anything. I try to honour the Great Creator as best as I can and have no intention of insulting any religion, its founders, its leaders, its followers or the God or Gods they worship. Deep inside we are all One, united by One Divine Being, God, or “The Collective Mind of the Omniverse”, whose ways I only begin to understand.

May you all be blessed with a good life and grow in knowledge and compassion, in this life and in what comes after this life.
