The Cycle of Life

I would like to share some of what I've read from three books about the Other Side, i.e. where we go to after death.

From baby to child, to adolescent to adult, adult to middle-age to old age and on to the next plane when we shed our physical body.......... these stages involve learning, a continuous growh of learning.

We are entities or energy and as such we do not die. Energy does not die and learning does not end with death. Our spirits or souls continue to learn on a higher plane. There we go through a renewal stage and then we decide when we want to return to the physical world , where and for what reason.

According to Sylvia Browne, a renowned psychic, in her book "The Other Side and Back", we prepare a blueprint for our lives and we choose our circumstances to enable us to learn and overcome issues that were not resolved in our previous lives and to achieve spiritual progress.

Sometimes a soul chooses a particularly challenging lifetime in order to accelerate the spiritual progress. A hard life is an opportunity for progress.

We all have debts that must be paid. If we haven't paid those debts we must take them into another life in order that they may be worked through. Karma is an opportunity for atonement, to make up to those we have wronged or hurt in the past. It is about learning, and not about punishment. Once we have learned our lesson, there is no further need to suffer, even if the karmic debt is not fully paid as divine intervention or grace can supercede karma and ease our burden of suffering. We come to earth to learn, not to suffer.

Dr. Brian Weiss in his book "Messages from the Masters", relates Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' experience. Elisabeth's mother was a very caring person who gave everything to help others but never accepted anything for herself. She suffered a stroke that left her dependent on others for her needs and she died four years later. Elisabeth was furious with God for letting her mother suffer and one day, while she was meditating, a voice asked her why she was so angry and Elisabeth replied that He had made her mother who never asked anything of anyone but gave of herself, suffer for four years.

The voice told Elisabeth that those four years were a gift to her mother, a gift of grace. Love must be balanced. If no one were to receive love, who could give it

and her mother learned this lesson in four years instead of having to come back for one or several lifetimes, impaired physically or mentally where she would have to accept the love of others. Because she had learned, she could move on.

Elisabeth understood the message and let go of her anger and her pain at her mother's experience.

We choose what we need to learn and if we need to come back to work through a relationship, we come back. If we are finished with that, we go on. We continue our learning in the spiritual state.

In the book "Reincarnation" it describes how Dr. Edward Cayce helps his patients to regress into their past lives so that they can have a better understanding of their problems in their current lives and the advice he gives them on how to resolve the issues confronting them.

Come to think of it, this recycling that we go through so to speak, is logical. It would explain why we sometimes have a sense of "deja vu" when we are at a place although it is the first time we are there. We could have been there in a previous life! However, I'm not quite sold on the idea that we prepared our own blueprint right down to the last detail, even the manner of our death. Death comes in many ways and I find it hard to accept that one would plan for a horrific death.
