There are many here who have expressed in their posts their particular beliefs of how they feel the Universe works. This is my own particular belief (in a nutshell version) after many years of study as a student and teacher of metaphysics:
In my opinion the Doctrine of Reincarnation begins with God.
Without God as a starting point, you've got nothing. Life is an accident and when you're dead, you're dead. End of story.
You are a Soul. You were created in the beginning by God. Being Spirit, you are a part of God, who created you. You have the freedom of the universe. You are a co-creator with God.
This has little to do with any particular religion, it's just the way it is. Religions grew from this.
You roamed throughout creation, and eventually came upon the Earth. You craved to experience the earth and all that it offered.
Over aeons, you projected yourself into matter and became the physical beings that today inhabit the earth. But you became trapped within the bodies that you had created from matter, and the only way out of what you had created was to die. Thus began your Karma.
The way of the flesh is compulsive, and you began to reincarnate into bodies of your own making.
These were the creatures of mythology, the mixtures, and their Karma is of their own making.
God does not get involved in the affairs of man. He allows man to progress according to his own free will. It is spirit which will guide man back to his creator, regardless of mans machinations in the meantime.
A soul is simultaneously an oversoul, a subconcious mind, and a concious mind, and has the ability, depending on spiritual advancement, to project itself into several bodies at once. 3 being the most recorded, although this is very rare.
A soul group may consist of several souls to more than a thousand. Within each group, relatives, friends, and associates will be set in place at various birth times to not only further their own journeys, but to assist the incoming entity with its individual purpose in taking life. From life to life, an entity may be male or female, a parent, a relative or friend to various others within their own group. It is a continuing interaction for the benefit of all.
Before taking on life in the physical plane, a soul will be counseled by a guide or guides on what purposes and tasks to undertake, what sex to be, which parents to choose, which environment will best serve, what Karma to try to resolve, etc.
An entity undergoing the birth process may occupy the fetus from the moment of conception, which is rare, or move into and out of the fetus at various stages of the pregnancy to try to get the 'feel' of the new body. The more usual event is that the soul enters the child either shortly before or shortly after the birth, although this may be delayed for several days according to the wishes of the incoming entity. Spirit keeps the life force active in the meantime. If conditions change to such a degree that the entity feels they no longer offer the right opportunities, the entity may withdraw altogether, and is then faced with the prospect of going through the whole process again, taking the varied conditions into account.
From birth up until about the age of 8 years, the child may remember and speak of past lives, and be quite capable of describing relatives, friends, locations, etc. They may also exhibit latent past talents, such as musical ability or any other talent they were good at in past experiences. They exhibit as urges or passions for a particular pursuit.
It is also a service that an entity may give to another higher evolved entity to take on the role of being born, growing to adulthood, and then vacating the body to allow the higher entity to come in and carry on from there. This is to save the second entity the time and trouble of childhood, so they may immediately begin the work they came to do. These are called walk-in's.
Life proceeds, and depending on the exercise of your free will and the choices you make, you create your own destiny. Past karma may be resolved (or repeated), new karma (good or bad) may be incurred, and eventually death occurs and you return to spirit where you review your progress or regression in company with your guide/s, so you can work out what you will do next time.
Intervals between births may vary from immediate return, to thousands of years.
If you have spiritually progressed sufficiently to avoid returning to materiality, you may then proceed to a higher plane or hang around as a spirit/guide to assist your fellow man still on earth.
Many choose to do this, as it also assists them in their own journey. Some choose to return anyway, in order to help more directly.
Jesus underwent about 30 lifetimes, in the last of which he was able to revivify his physical body to such an extent that his spirit was as free in it as it was out of it. When you can do the same, you can get off this rock. That's what he meant when he said “I am the way”. You've got to do what he did. You dont 'go' to heaven, you 'grow' to heaven, through the process of reincarnation.
More later.
