7. Causes of Rebirth
Sometimes there are also people who are able to recall their previous lives very well, but their number is few, and this happens because there is important life mission or life task that he/she has to accomplish in this very life time. Generally, not all people know the term ‘reincarnation’ and want to believe it. But, just ask yourself: Does the Creator have to ask human’s consideration and approval to manage the universe and His creations?. This is a reality that not many people want to comprehend and in this context, it is necessary to reveal it so as to make us become more quickly aware that there is important life task that each and every of us must accomplish in this very life. Therefore we have to carry out every wish, thought, word and action of ours with all our heart in full awareness every time as it is illustrated in the following:
Washing the dishes
When a guest volunteered herself to wash the dishes, the Master asked, “Are you sure you know how to wash those dishes?”
She said that she had done it all her life. The Master replied, “O.….. I never doubt your ability to make the dishes clean. I only doubt your ability to wash the dishes.”
This was what he explained to his disciples later. “There are two ways to wash the dishes. First, washing it as to make it clean; second, washing it as just to wash it.”
His explanation was not clearly understood, so the Master added, “The first act is ‘death’ because while you are washing, your mind focuses in the goal of cleaning the dishes. The second is ‘alive’ because where your mind is, so is your body.”
So, please implement our action as for the sake of the action. Why does a bird sing?. It sings because it really wants to sing.
Often, due to the karmas (karma, in simple understanding is: ‘cause-effect’) from our previous lives make us be reborn to accomplish the karmas. Please be aware that the Soul exists as genderless entity, but whenever the Soul has to embody in human form, the Soul becomes ‘male or female’. While in the human form in previous lives, the same Soul could be in ‘male’ and in this very life time this Soul becomes ‘female’. This can happen because there must be enough experience for the Soul to comprehend the conditions and situations of every life lesson at the time the Soul becomes ‘male’ or ‘female’, including the advantages and disadvantages of each gender. It is considered lucky if the Soul who manifests in the human body makes so many ‘good and correct’ things or even achieving the enlightenment, in which the Soul would not be reincarnated. Let’s say, if we study in the elementary school, then we successfully passed our exams; of course we will not repeat our study in the elementary school, but we will continue to higher educations, won't we?.
Generally, when we fail in the tests of our school lessons, our teacher will usually give us other chance to take the test again, some may even take three times. But the unique lesson for the Souls are:
Souls are given unlimited opportunities by the Creator to learn and to experience in various life forms that the Souls can go through.
Notice, when we often fail to overcome our emotional anger, there will be many more situations or conditions where incidents that can raise our anger come to us many times until we are aware and able to reduce our emotional anger until the lowest level or in the scale of 1 (from 10 – 1), this reduction is also followed by the actual and deeper comprehension of ‘emotional anger’. Such condition is also applicable in the other emotions or feelings which we should also comprehend properly.
When we have reached our old age, and in reality we have not been successful to overcome our emotional anger or other emotions, then there are possibilities that our Soul will be given other opportunities to incarnate to correct our shortcoming and weaknesses. The general problem is: whenever our Soul incarnates in physical body, we are not to know and will not be able to know (unless we come to full awareness) all the life lessons as well as life task that we have to accomplish until we pass the ‘tests’. This of course can be troublesome for us. But, the Creator is very wise and so kind to give us many opportunities to let us know what we have to accomplish in this life time as indicated in some ways, such as: we have to observe, evaluate and examine carefully our present life at the ages of: 21 – 30; because these are the ages where our life tasks in the previous three consecutive life times are shown (except for the Soul who incarnates for the first time on earth, of which I have no knowledge about this, but in the present time there are still more Souls who have ever lived in this earth plane before). For the children, we can observe these through their hobbies or enjoyment, then we should direct them positively.
Other effective way is, we must be honest to ourselves and repeatedly ask ourselves on: what kind of things or actions that can make us feel ‘happy and peaceful’?. Please distinguish the difference between ‘happiness’ and ‘delight’. If we have much money, a lot of friends and we enjoy all our activities together, that would give us fun and delight. On the other hand, whenever our money is spent so significantly, and we become sad or sometimes feeling lonely because of being left by our friends; then it is q condition of momentary ‘delight’, not the real ‘happiness’. Why? Because the arousal of sadness is the effect of something that we lose and this could be due to our excessive expectations on things that we have done. True happiness can only be felt in our own heart internally, not externally.
When we have known what makes us happy internally, then fill this life with everything that supports and involves our sincerity to really live and carry out our activities that are related to our life task; and hopefully we succeed to accomplish our life task well so as to enable us to break this chain of Rebirth.
8. Breaking the chain of Rebirth
Why do we have to break this chain of Rebirth?. The answer is very simple. Should we have become aware and we do really want to learn much in everything, then based on our awareness, we comprehend deeply the meaning of life and the life itself while going through everything that we are supposed to, in which we would probably be considered ‘enough’ by the Creator, then there is possibility that we would be broken from this chain of Rebirth. One of the easiest ways to achieve the highest awareness or enlightenment is through the activities of: meditation, continuous self-introspection every time and make our life continually aware as optimally as possible, while at the same time we fill our life with ‘good and correct’ things. Of course these all should begin from within ourselves in this very life time, without thinking so much of the future; because at this very moment we are having our own problem, and tomorrow will have other problem of its own. Enjoy everything at this very moment – here with our full awareness. This is also known as ‘the Moment of Now’, where we focus all our mind, body and soul in what we are really doing.9. Levels of Soul
Before we discuss the various levels of Soul, we should understand first what and how the creation is. When all begins, the creations are only in the form of essence or energy, which could be in various forms and therefore when a form becomes clear and certain, there must be a purpose and goal. In the process of this essence journey exploring the universe, all the forms that exist and alive have learnt and done some experiments in several dimensions or spheres. Up to certain phases, some of the energy forms that have been considered by the Creator having the capability and intelligence worthy to live in various spheres are given exalted tasks to sow various living seeds in certain spheres of the Universe, these are known as ‘The Sowers’, they are highly evolved entities selected by the Creator Himself with their duty is to sow various living seeds. At times when the living seeds have succeeded in developing themselves into intelligence beings having certain capabilities and skills, the Creator will assign ‘The Watchers’, also other highly evolved entities selected by the Creator Himself with their duty is to give intelligence to the living seeds and help the living seeds to develop further to become the Souls. Not all the energy forms can become the human Souls. These selected Souls are the ones who have lived and made journeys throughout several spheres and have succeeded in learning some of the required knowledge and lessons needed prior to their manifestation as human beings to live on earth.
As additional information, have you ever wondered why there are so many people living on earth?, in general you would probably explain that it is the Creator’s plan. You could be right, but this is caused by so many Souls who have to return to earth plane to learn and experience more because they have failed to overcome some ‘tests’ in their lives as human before and they still have to solve their karmas from their previous lives; while at the same time there are many new Souls who are ready to descend to earth plane for the first time to experience the earth lessons. Why? Because they have succeeded in accomplishing certain levels of lessons in different spheres (except earth).
In this world, every infrastructure and facility for the life lessons are the most complex and complete, in other words: the world could be illustrated as the Giant University or the University of the Universe.
More interestingly, due to the extensive experience from every Soul, they will have different ability and knowledge; therefore the Soul can be grouped into seven grades, which can also be sub graded into some Levels with different abilities (this can be detected by their vibrational frequency in their energy) as following:
· Grade 1: Level I until Level III
· Grade 2: Level IV until Level VI
· Grade 3: Level VII until Level IX
· Grade 4: Level X until XI
· Grade 5: Level XII until Level XIII
· Grade 6: Level XIV
· Grade 7: Level XV
You will see that in Grade 6 and 7, there are only Souls with Level XIV and XV. What does it means? In the universe, everything has been created and managed so neatly by the Creator and His assistants, known as the Hierarchy (including the Sowers and the Watchers, whom people are used to saying ‘Angels’, but the actual formation, order and ranks are far more complex, most of them are Highly evolved entities). Members of the Hierarchy could be illustrated with the Government Officials who hold certain ranks and posts in our earthly Government, but the Hierarchy members are very discipline, wise and they would not do ‘corruption’ as what most human officials do!. So, only the matured Souls (it means: they have already had the comprehension of most mysteries of the universe and how the universe works) and the most experienced ones may be selected by the Creator to hold certain posts in the Hierarchy, which most of us call the Kingdom of God. Actually, the structures of most governments as we know to day are the duplication of the heavenly Hierarchy.
Once I met a woman who told me about her confusion on things that she felt in her experience when she was traveling in a village in Europe. She seemed to know and recognize precisely the streets in the village surroundings which at that time was her actual first visit to this village, she even knew that there used to be some other important objects in the locations. She seems to come from intermediate Level of Soul and I explained to her about the rebirth. But, as her religious doctrine does not support this rebirth, she could hardly believe it. This often happens to many people whose Souls could be from the high Level, but since the humans are trapped by certain doctrines, have caused them fettered in their ignorance. Someone ever told me like this:
Religion is the most sophisticated brain-wash system ever created by human being
The Spirit Guide who guides the humans usually comes from higher Level than the human whom this Spirit Guide escorts (could be two generations above the human), but this is not always the case. The reason is simple: Spirit Guide is selected due to the Spirit Guide’s experience; he/she is considered to be mature enough to teach and guide the human.
Nowadays, only few Souls come from Grade 6 and 7 who live as human beings on this earth plane to assist many of us to reach enlightenment. The problem is, almost every human does not want to know and has no sensitivity to such things. We tend to see things from one side only, without wanting to realize the other sides that also have greater meanings and have greater impacts to many people.
If we are keen enough, and we seriously want to comprehend with our heart, actually we will be able to know that the Creator always sends His Messengers in every era, since the beginning of mankind even until today to assist, guide and make humans aware. Their roles are so great and their works have significant impact to us. These messengers come from various discipline of knowledge, exist every where and in every strata of life. To know them, we must be honest to ourselves, opening our horizon to everything, we must also see things from every side, either it is ‘good’ or ‘bad’. You can also try to recognize them, just ponder several famous or notorious figures in our history in the last five decades.
The members of the Hierarchy always work in strict discipline, manage all their tasks well and precisely, it is therefore can be said that there is no ‘coincidence’ in the whole universe. All has been planned and carried out perfectly. Even the drops of the rain water are to fall right in the spots as planned and determined. This rain drop is one of some important tasks for the Hierarchy. To understand the order of the Hierarchy, we could learn it by observing the process of the food that enters and goes out from our body including the metabolism in our internal body. Regarding ‘coincidence’, Carl Jung ever explained it as ‘Meaningful coincidences’ or ‘synchronicity’. Only people with some degrees of awareness can experience such synchronicity in their daily activities. Talking about the rain water drops, have you ever observed in silence how they fall?. It's so wonderful!.
So, it is up to us now, whether we want to expand our awareness or our ability to raise our Soul frequency vibration to higher Level or not. When our Soul has reached certain higher Level, then the vibration will be softer; so we will be given several privileges, such as: when we are in the Soul world, we will be together with the other Group Souls that have the same frequency vibration, where the higher Level of Group Souls can visit and mingle with the lower Level of Group Souls, but the lower Level of Group Souls cannot visit the higher Level of Group Souls. Logically, it is more meaningful to be in the higher Level of Souls where we can get extra facilities. This Strata is formed due to the parameter of created frequency vibration and will accordingly form different quality of energy.
10. Souls manifestation in a family
On earth, our family comprises of different Soul levels and these Souls may not come from the same Group Souls. Why? each Soul is intended to learn from one and the others. Having different Level of Souls in a family will compliment the lack and the abundance of respective Soul’s experience, while at the same time it also helps the lower Level of Souls to raise itself to higher Level. Uniquely enough, the level of parents’ Souls are not always higher than their children’s or grand children’s Souls. Clearly, when a family has one high Level of Soul followed by its human to raise his/her spirituality, usually (not all) his/her descendants will also have spiritual ability. If we are so keen, we ourselves will be able to detect, know and feel which one of our family members who has the highest Level of Soul. But, please be aware that his/her religion and his/her practicing the religious rituals cannot be used as a guidance to know it. It’s is only through his/her pattern of living, attitudes towards real daily problems and the ways he/she solves them that we can analyze to detect it.
That’s why there are so many people with various spiritual abilities. The one with the same frequency will tend to join or pull the same frequency. Translated into daily truth:
If our thought is positive, our willingness is positive, then we will draw positive things towards us. On the contrary, if our thought is negative, our willingness is also negative, then we will draw the negativity towards us.
The above also explains why the so called negative thinking people, even having the tendency to ‘criminality’ will join or draw those who have the same frequency.
The Master’s story below will hopefully make us all aware of our Soul existence and its life task that has to be accomplished through our human body:
The function of Religion Leader
Some disciples praised one of the famous religion leaders. The Master only kept silent.
When he was asked about it, he said, “People who lead and use their authority on others, are not the religion leaders.”
“Then what is the function of religion leader?”
“To provide inspirations, not to make rules,” replied the Master. “To make people become aware, not to insist.”
So do we, our existence as human beings should also provide inspirations to others to achieve their self-awareness, instead of making rules that tend to enforce, bind or control others. This is not awareness. Should someone still show such attitudes, then he/she is not yet aware! Be aware that nobody likes to be forced! How about you?
