Reincarnation
Reincarnation: Something to Contemplate
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D. - July 27, 2022
Reincarnation is also known by other names—rebirth, metempsychosis, transmigration, re-embodiment, or born again. There are some conditions that need to be met for reincarnation to be real and authentic.
First, it is essential that the nature, essence, and consciousness (or spirit) of the person occupying the new body must be the same as the one residing in the previous body before its physical death.
Second, the spirit that resides in the higher dimension must decide whether or not it wants to be born again. It’s a decision that the spirit alone can do for some underlying reasons. But it need not reincarnate itself.
Third, the spirit must likewise choose which form of physical body to take, for example, rock, stone, bacteria, earthworm, honeybee, plant, tree, animal, human, or some other extraterrestrial entity.
There are two extreme views about reincarnation.
(1) Buddhists believe in a wheel of rebirth, where souls are born again into different bodies depending on how they conducted themselves in their previous lives.
This belief is connected to “karma,” which refers to how a person's good or bad actions in the past impact them in the future. What it does, it reaps. Bad karmas need to be repaid by good deeds. Once the two are balanced, then, reincarnation may no longer be necessary. But learning lessons continue in the higher realms.
While the vast majority of Buddhists accept some notion of rebirth, they differ in their theories about rebirth mechanism and how events unfold after the moment of death.
Generally, Buddhist teaching views life and death as a continuum, believing that consciousness (the spirit) continues after death and may be reborn. Thigh Naht Hanh, the most authoritative and strongest follower of Buddhism likens human life to the coming (birth) and going (death) of a cloud that goes in a continuing, cyclical fashion. According to him:
“Even when the cloud is not there, it continues always as snow or rain… There’s no beginning and no end. You don’t need to wait until the total dissolution of this node to continue—you continue in every moment.”
(2) The other strong believers of reincarnation include Hinduism, Jainism, Spiritism, Kabbalism, Theosophical Society, Scientology, and Brahma Kumaris, as well as some Christian sects like the Bogomils and the Cathars, and gnostics.
(3) Manicheans believe that some people are given a second chance via reincarnation, while good people will directly ascend upward into the Milky Way.
(4) Sikhism believes in transmigration. People committing evil actions and sinful deeds will be reincarnated in “lower” life forms. It believes that the soul is passed from one body to another until liberation.
(5) Quantum Physics doesn't use the term "reincarnation" freely. The closest terms that approximate its meaning are "reappearance," "re-manifestation," "re-embodiment," "rebirth," "re-created," or "reborn."
In the quantum world, when particles like electrons meet, they cancel out each other and vanish into nowhere, becoming invisible to the naked eye, but reappear in its original form from out of nowhere and then, disappear again in a seemingly endless fashion.
The following religious beliefs do not believe in reincarnation.
1. Christianity (Catholics especially) does not believe in reincarnation. (When asked , a Christian always has a ready answer: “I believe in resurrection”). Christianity believes that when a person dies their soul would sleep in the grave along with their corpse. This soul continues to sleep.
After some period of time (as in hundreds and thousand of years), they will rise (physical resurrection, then, spiritual ascension to heaven, hell, or purgatory) on the second coming of Jesus, during which Jesus will reign on Earth for some period of time to render judgment on nations and humanity.
This Christian belief on reincarnation is quite tricky. Is not the Second Coming of Christ a rebirth or reincarnation?
(2) Islam does not also believe in reincarnation. The Qur'an rejects this concept, though it preaches the existence of a soul. Its principal belief is that there is only one birth on this earth.
The Doomsday comes after death and the soul will be judged once and for all whether it goes to hell or it be unified with God.
What’s my take?
Every creature is Consciousness, varying only in form, shape, size, weight as well as level of frequency and vibration. Call this Self, soul, spirit, God, or Energy, it is this that incarnates and reincarnates by taking on another body.
I am a strong believer of reincarnation. I know I am a reincarnation of my former Self. I was a rock, a stone, a one-celled organism, an insect, plant, an animal, or even an invisible earthly spirit.
I passed all these forms of physical bodies. After all, I am much older than 13.7 billion years. And it is because I have passed through all possible forms of manifestations that I am what I am today.
I also believe that if I had not learned enough lessons in my former lives, I will be reborn again. For example, if I have not learned to be patient enough as a stone, then, I will reincarnate as a stone.
As a symbol of oneness with others, I can also reincarnate in many different forms and shapes all at the same time. I can even make myself conscious or recall to memory of this multidimensional state of existence now or anytime. This is tantamount to living in several worlds instantaneously and simultaneously.
This is what makes my life exciting, rather than be given no chance or one chance at all to redeem myself.
Reincarnation: Take It or Leave It
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D. – July 27, 2021
After physical death, the spirit lives on but many believe that the same spirit can be reincarnated at some future time and in some place by taking on another body.
The new body may be human, animal, or spiritual depending on one's individual progress. But it is essential that the person remains the same, while occupying a new body.
Reincarnation is also known by other names like rebirth, metempsychosis, transmigration, re-embodiment, or born again. Various religious beliefs, however, differ in their views and interpretation on reincarnation.
1. Christianity does not believe in reincarnation. Christians believe that when a person dies their soul would sleep in the grave along with their corpse. This soul sleep continues until a time in the future known as the “last day” or also known as the “final judgment.” they will rise again on the second coming of the Lord Jesus.
However, Christian sects such as the Bogomils and the Cathars, profess reincarnation. So with other gnostic beliefs, like the Manicheans.
2. In Islam, the Qur'an rejects the concept of reincarnation, though it preaches the existence of a soul. The principal belief in Islam is that there is only one birth on this earth. The Doomsday comes after death and the soul will be judged once and for all whether it goes to hell or it be unified with God.
3. Hinduism believes in reincarnation.
4. Jainism believes in transmigration and rebirth.
5. Buddhism does not believe in eternal soul, spirit or self but only a “stream of consciousness” that changes from one life to the next life. Consciousness then is in the process of becoming.
6. Sikhism believed that the soul is passed from one body to another until liberation. If we perform good deeds and actions and remember the creator, we attain a better life while, if we carry out evil actions and sinful deeds, we will be incarnated in “lower” life forms. Reincarnation is due to the law of cause and effect.
7. Modern Neopagans, followers of Spiritism and students of esoteric philosophies such as Kabbalah believe in reincarnation.
8. Recent religious movements like Theosophical Society, Eckankar, Scientology, Meher Baba, Sai Baba, Brahmakumaris, and Osho believe in reincarnation.
Quantum Physics doesn't use the term "reincarnation" freely. The closest terms that approximate its meaning are "reappearance," "re-manifestation," "re-embodiment," "rebirth," "re-created," or "reborn."
In the quantum world, when particles like electrons meet, they cancel out each other and vanish into nowhere, becoming invisible to the naked eye, but reappear from out of nowhere and, then, disappear again in a seemingly endless fashion.
Atoms are alive; they have souls, animated by the breathe of the Holy Spirit. In quantum physics, matter (m) is frozen Energy (E) or spirit manifesting itself in a lower vibrational frequency, but still moving restlessly in all directions at the speed of light (c^2) in the tradition of Einstein's E=mc^2.
Every spirit needs matter to manifest, without matter it is just still in pure being. Vice versa, every matter needs spirit to be alive. Spirit and matter in atoms are two sides of the same coin. They are embodied spirits then. They are also referred to as transcendental spirits in philosophy.
This cyclical and spiral behavior in the quantum world also happens in the macro world:
- summer, autumn, winter, spring
- birth, growth, decay, death
- Big Bang, inflation, big freeze or big crunch
Whatever the name is, this cyclical pattern in the quantum and macro worlds is what Religion and Mysticism allude to as "reincarnation." It stands to reason then that science and religion are talking of the same thing using their respective parlance, beliefs, and points of views.
Reincarnation is a quantum event, although its interpretation differs among religious beliefs. But it's a fact that cannot just be ignored, being an essential part of the entire cosmic evolutionary process. It is a phenomenon that is as real and true as you and me. It's happening within us. It's happening outside of us. It's happening everywhere and every moment in time.
Nevertheless, you can still take it or leave it. I am taking it wholeheartedly. I am a reincarnation of my former Self who may have been taking on several body forms in my journey towards spiritual transformation and growth.
Recalling My Past Life
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D.
October 24, 2020
In telling this story, was I simply dreaming and hallucinating? Was it fact or fiction?
Whatever it is, it’s okay with me.
Something baffles me until today. I have had this recurring dream since childhood until now. While looking down below, three of us were discussing something about a mission that needed to be done.
A volunteer was needed and we kept on looking at each other for a while, trying to assess what this meant. After a long period of silence, I volunteered to go down. So, we must have been somewhere unknown out there above.
The problem is when I became incarnated in my present body, I forgot my mission. Yet, the dream was lucid and kept on coming back almost daily and is still occasionally going on until now at regular intervals which made me reflect on it seriously.
Mission to do what? And who was I before I was born here?
During my high school years, I began to feel I did not belong. I always made excuses to be away from my family and friends. This went on until college and becoming more acute today. I feel very uncomfortable in a group. I’m practically leading a sort of semi-hermitic life, alone at home, just being content with my freedom. I refrain from socializing.
I chronicled my experiences in my seven cosmic books just to know the progress I am going through in life. I consulted gifted individuals who were known or claiming to be starseeds, light bearers, indigo children, or reincarnations of somebody.
But the dream, or whatever it was, still kept on coming. There were times when I was visited at night by two individuals (must have been the two I was talking with up there) as if communicating something to me. But the message was always indecipherable when I woke up.
Then, I was given the experience and taste of the afterlife in the 5th dimension. It calmed me down and stilled my mind a bit but my search for my role and identity remains.
I admire those individuals who know that they are starseeds, light bearers, or indigo children, which many of you are (I know), but who are also still unaware perhaps of why they are here.
This is the first time I opened this very personal subject here in my timeline, impelled mainly by the interest and desire to let the public know that there are so many, even in my FB friends, who are starseeds, light bearers, indigo children, or angels coming from various universes, planets, and galaxies out there who are with us today.
Hallucinating, imagining, or science fiction designed to entertain?
But I know of some who have already gone ahead of me. To think that we are not one of them is really thought-provoking. Many are still around us today, constantly communicating with us on social media, here on my FB, and who are daily with us.
We might not be aware of their identity, because we are too engrossed perhaps with our own little world, thus, we have not really interacted with them deeply.
Yes, there are so many genuine, highly evolved individuals incarnating here with us at these trying times who can help broaden and deepen our awareness of our Self. But you have to know them yourself.
I know this because I already consulted some of them. And the effects of their revelation can be truly dramatic and life-changing.
But not everyone will consult others because they themselves already know who they are and what their mission is.
QP Says Reincarnation is a Cosmic Fact
May 24, 2017
QP doesn't use the term "reincarnation" freely. The closest terms that approximate its meaning are "reappearance," "re-manifestation," "re-embodiment," "rebirth," "re-created," or "reborn."
In the quantum world, when particles and their anti-particles meet, they cancel out each other and vanish into nowhere, becoming invisible to the naked eye, but only to appear again from out of nowhere and, then, disappear again in a seemingly endless fashion.
Theoretically, particles can travel backward in time. Physicists call this the concept “irreversibility of time.” In a picturesque way, according to them, one can “unbroken an already broken egg” and follow the sequence backwards, step-by-step, until the broken egg is back to its original unbroken state.
Both conventional and quantum physicists explain this in various ways, as expressed in their concepts of “quantum entanglement,” “thermodynamics,” “entropy,” "chaos and order, " etc.
This cyclical behavior in the quantum world also happens in the macro world:
- summer, autumn, winter, spring
- birth, growth, decay, death
- Big Bang, inflation, big freeze/crunch
On our level, we can relive our past lives, experience to live that life physically, emotionally, physiologically, and psychically. While this is not practical in our daily life, QP says there is always that probability that this can happen.
This cyclical pattern in the quantum and macro worlds is what Religion and Mysticism allude to as "reincarnation."
In the Hindu tradition, the continuous creation-destruction of the Cosmos is portrayed in Lord Shiva's flying arms, legs, and the swaying of his torso. The Lord Brahma projects this phenomenon when He "opens his eyes and a world comes into being...closes his eyes, and a world goes out of being."
In the Bible, we are reminded of Jesus asking his disciples: "Who do people say that I am?" (Mark 16:13-20) and to which the disciples responded that he was the reincarnation of Elijah and John the Baptist. The apocryphal books even say Jesus was the reincarnation of Adam, Moses, and Joseph, the second most powerful man in Egypt next to the Pharaoh.
Whether we believe it or not, reincarnation remains a cosmic fact that can no longer be ignored and dismissed.
IF YOU WERE TO BE BORN AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE?
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D.
March 5, 2017
If I were to be born again, I would like to live in a much higher dimension, in a far, far away galaxy. But I would like to be a time traveler always visiting all other galaxies including Planet Earth. On earth, I would like to take the following identity:
Name: Latoli
Age: Ageless
Gender: Hermaphrodite
Citizenship: Cosmic
Vision: Unity of all creation and final union with the Ultimate
Mission: To hasten the process of cosmic evolution
Goal: To break all barriers and borders
Politics: To be free, unaligned to any political party
Religion: None
Beliefs: None
Motto: Peace is within us
Future: Union with the Ultimate
Residence: Homeless
But I know it may still take thousands of lifetimes before I will realize the above identity. In the meantime, it remains a vision, even a dream but to which I firmly resolve to attain.
But am I not expressing the vision and dream of the entire humanity? Of course, some may have lesser, while others may have bigger dreams.
What would your dream and vision be?
