Only Love Is Real

thinking about the new book i am reading about 'many lives, many masters' by dr. brian weiss.

he's a pyschiatrist who's a super hotshot in the medical world in his field. and the proponent of reincarnation and past lives based on the groundbreaking psychotherapeutic treatment he embarked on with a patient that set him on this course.

because of his reputation as a firm scientist, he has escaped the ridicule that would have been likely to follow him. instead, he has opened the door to people opening their minds to the thought that while we all would like to think that we have only one life to live, we actually have many - one after the other.

the basic tenet is that we are all essentially spirits aiming to achieve the highest level of spirituality. we are all then sent to live physical lives because each physical life teaches us lessons. in order to progress to a higher spiritual state, we MUST learn our lessons and not learning them means being sent back progressively over several lifetimes until we learn. and that the physical state is the lowest state we can ever be in because unlike a soul, the physical body cannot transcend time and space.

albert einstein knew this in his soul before anyone else did. only someone who was tapping into the wisdom of the infinite universe could ever have realized time and space is relative from the point of the universe where you are standing from.

i imagine that einsten is now in a spiritual level further on than many of us.

this is not a wisdom alien to us, from way back thousands of years ago. all religions have their own tenets about reincarnation including that of christianity. it was only erased from the bible by then emperor constantinople and his mother because they feared it would make people complacent and not repent for their sins if they were allowed to believe that we make up for our lack over a course of many lives instead of just one.

i've always believed in reincarnation ever since i was a child who stumbled across it in my readings. yes - i was a strange child who read about many things that were very strange for a child to read.

it's as if this knowledge has always been part of me - and reading about it made intuitive sense to me. when i read about it, i just knew without a shadow of a doubt about its truth.

many times in my life, i meet people for the first time and we feel as if we've known each other forever. some that i meet first time, i intensely dislike for no reason - as if this person had hurt me before and i was being warned by some supernatural signal to stay away.

many times i experience the sense of having been somewhere before, though i have only been there the first time. of knowing, a certain moment had happened before and sometimes even recalling the previous times when i remember that a certain moment had happened to me before, twice or even thrice.

and it's not just me. everyone gets it too. everyone gets their own moments. some are more aware of it than others.

the book also says, over the course of many lifetimes, the same people are often with us. sometimes changing roles, in one life they are our father and in the next our neighbor, in the next our lover. their roles alter depending on what lessons our souls need to learn.

sometimes though someone appears in our lives whom we have never known before. but everyone we meet is pre-destined. NOTHING and NO ONE in our life is a coincidence. what we do with them, how we choose to treat them, what we experience with them whether we learn from them or to distance ourselves from them is OUR CHOICE.

and in the choices we make, we weave our own karma that will determine the circumstances for our progressive lives. ultimately, our life and our future lives will be woven by our own hands, dictated by the choices of our own hearts.

controversially, it also says, our souls choose the next moment when we will again be re-born. and when we will die. and that we actually choose who to be born to.  perhaps, every lifetime is meant to begin with the lesson of acceptance - for as physical beings we always believed we can never choose our parents thus, who we come from. and it is a startling concept to actually be faced with.

that dying is one experience of indescribable immense peace, freedom from any kind or state of pain and luminosity.

that when we die, our souls move to a place where we converse with other souls, where higher spirits tell us what we learned in our lives and what we still have yet to learn. then after our soul is ready, we are again re-born: at a time of our choosing and to parents of our choosing as well.

it also says, essentially, we are all souls linked together into a common universe.

above all, it says nothing ever really lasts in every lifetime - not disease, not war and not even death. when we die, only our souls and love remain.

ultimately, it says, only love is real.

even if you will never believe in reincarnation because you won't or can't understand it, surely you understand and believe that in the end - ONLY LOVE IS REAL.
