For many years I have held the theory that what is believed to be 'reincarnation' is merely a strong link to a historical thread contained within the akashic records.
In the decades I have spent exploring the meaning of life I have found two things related to this: 1) No one has contradicted this theory, possibly because... 2) No other person or document has linked these together.
This is surprising to me as most other theories I have discovered in my own thinking have already been described in various forms, terminologies, or loose allusion. (This both confirms that my self discovery is expansive, but also creates frustration that everything already seems to have been discovered in one form or another. Of course, holding a thing and knowing how to use or apply it are not necessarily one and the same, but I digress.)
The topic of reincarnation was refreshed in my awareness this afternoon as I read The Romeo Error by Lyall Watson. In the chapter on Possession Within Other Bodies is commentary on reincarnation. Watson comments:
"Joan Grant is an English author ... who is also able consciously to enter a trance state ... that enables her to relive parts of what she believes to be her earlier incarnations. ... Grant believes that "the body of every individual has a physical and a supra-physical component; and when the energy exchange between these two components ceases to exist, the physical body dies. But the supra-physical body does not die ... because it consists of an order of matter which is not subject to the process which we call 'death'." She sees survival as being in the hands of something called the "Integral", which is a sum total of all the wisdom acquired through a whole series of incarnations, that decides which of a collection of past supra-physicals should become alert and take on a new fertilized ovum."
Watson then surmises, "but, it does not encompass all the known facts. It presupposes that every living individual must be the product of at least one other previous life, but on the evidence available to us we have no reason to assume that reincarnation is anything more than a rare and exceptional occurrence."
Joan Grant's husband, a hypnotic regression psychiatrist, admits that ... "only a small proportion [of his clients] have been able to recall a single [past life] episode".
My own theory appears to solve this problem quite effectively. By suggesting that reincarnation is merely a connection, of various degrees of psychic/energetic clarity, between an individual and previous life histories stored within the akashic records, I remove both the need for reincarnation and the presupposition that an individual must have lived a life prior to their current earthly existence. My theory also does not prevent or negate the possibility of reincarnation, it merely makes it irrellevant.
That's not to say that an energetic entity would not choose to re-enter our physical realm after already experiencing it one or more times previously. I can see an individuated entity choose another 'shot at life' because they were unable to attain a certain experience in a previous life path, which completely fits with my theory of The Great ISM, the answer to the meaning of life.
I would readily welcome comments regarding this view of reincarnation and the akashic records. Although I have looked widely, I am constantly finding new information hitherto beyond my scope of exploration.
Namaste,
Dave
