So far the best book on Reincarnation (IMHO)

AOSpare

Zos Kia Cultus
I have bought the eBook and as usually with anything worth its salt, upon reading it a bit I have bought the printed version from the author's website.
Disclaimer; the authors' Guru is the same person of who my former teacher got his teaching from. Needless to say, I was very happy to have found another person alive who I can connect with. The belief system he(and I for that matter) subscribe may not be to your liking but if you do have an open mind you'd surely find the book fascinating even if you disagree. It goes into very detail on the whole life cycle of birth death and reincarnation. To show you that I am not invested weather any of you ever take a peek in this book I am not even giving a link here. If you have a desire you'd google it. The book is Dying to be born by Jhani (he is in Canada)
 
Thank you for posting this. It was an interesting book, but as you said, "it may not be to your liking".


It was a good translation of Southern Asia reincarnation belief complete with diagrams. It was similar to Plato's writings in many respects although it went into great detail in some areas. There was, to me, an unmistakable "priestly" warning of dangers and consequences for improper actions that I found to be too "Religious" for my liking. It sounded too contrived to me.


Definitely a more complex view of the reincarnation process and the afterlife environment than the views that I am comfortable with.
 
there is nothing new under the Sun


Well, may be as it is...Indians(Aryans) and to some extent Tibetans are the custodians of primordial knowledge that we had during the time of Atlantis. We Humans, at one point knew infinitely more than today. That knowledge is within us today, but murkied by too much thinking and external "information" that is pure junk. The only way to bring that knowledge back is to abandon thinking, live in the NOW and spend more and more time in Nature.

Didn't mean to be rude


Here is an example of the writing that led me to make the remarks in my previous post.

As the soul coalesces the etheric energies into the astral, as it begins the transition process into Kamaloka, the spirit may swoon momentarily into blackness in adjusting to its new environment, before grasping a flash or ray of light. However, the soul may miss this guiding light if its focus is solely on earthly attractions and carnal desires. When these earthly attractions occur, the astral body, unable to separate itself in a pure condition, will drag some or all of these earthly desires into Kamaloka.
After many pages of this I felt that it was written by a group of men trying to create something greater than their knowledge in order to impress the reader/listener.
