In addition to what jufa has said. I may add there is enormous confusion and many silly things said about REINCARNATION. Very few understand "rebirth" and "Reincarnation". They are all universally known about, but not understood.

Actually incarnation is a fact within the dream of this world, but not Reality. Consciousness must first learn the lessons of Life, by taking on self identity and individuality, and when it has travelled as far as it can go in a lateral direction a turning point is reached. That is consciousness turns metanoia/repents and recognises the Source it came from like the prodigal son.

So the great magnetic power of the Source of Life/God draws the consciousness back in upon Itself, so it can release all separate identity. Thus the prior individuated consciousness becomes fully conscious of it's wholeness with all Life....this is the true SELF that abandons all other individuated forms.

You see whatever is put together must fall apart.... whatever is integerated must fall into disintegration. Unity that is a putting together of fragmented individuals must be an illusion. There are in reality no individuals, no reincarnation, no you or me there is only the One Life, that maintains constantly it's wholeness. What is necessary is not the integration of self into the SELF but abandonment of the self. The unreal cannot be integrated into the Real. it is rather the surrender of the unreal, the duplicity of the unreal, so that the integrity of the Real is manifest.

The "ego" we all experience is not reborn. Actually it is never stable as an entity even during this life. Hence so many turn to alcohol, drugs, sex and religion as an escape from this cruel tyrant of "self". What is reborn is actually our DNA genetic material imprinted with all our experiences and passed down in our children.

Those insights we have of past lives or "deja vu" are actually from those bits of information passed down to us in our DNA. Actually our DNA carries all the information of the Book of Life right back to Adam. What some refer to as the "causal body" is actually our DNA.....DowNAdam!

All our DNA is interconnected and uses the same language of binary information. That is why we function out of split mind. Our DNA is also the Tree of knowledge which brings death. The whole point of the Incarnation of Christ Jesus was to restore Man back to his true blood source of DNA the "Tree of Life".

Adam as the blood of the Lord had to have his blood spilt back to the dust of the earth."A" comes from "adonai" [The lord] and "dam" from "dam" blood,] in the Hebrew. The Blood of the Lord was corrupted through false knowledge. Man was trying to be "as God" functioning from a false and separated identity called "self".

That life was dualistic, involving Good and evil, darkness and light, heaven and hell, life and death. The Resurrection was the infusion of Divine blood not of earthly elements as dust, but DIVINE SPIRIT.

That is why Paul tells us in Romans 1 He is marked out as Son of God "by power of the Resurrection from the dead, according to the SPIRIT of Holiness". In reality [wholly] that is God's Life is not a separated element like earthly blood but Spirit. It is an unearthly fire that dissolves all back to itself. That is "God is a consumming fire". This God is a Blessing to All who come to Him. On lt to be feared by that false self in all of us. For this God destroys all the ignorance and falsity in us, and restores our true identity: Christ.

That is Divine Spirit of El Elyon. Or the "Eternal Spirit" of the book of Hebrews ;"who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God". In the Book of Hebrews the inspired writer is establishing the Order of Melchizedec from which Christ came as the true Priesthood of the Most High God "El Elyon " as opposed to the Aaronic Priesthood of Yahweh. The Most High God has in place a sanctifying Priesthood, that purifies and cleanses, as opposed to that of Yahweh whose priests live in dread fear of death.

All their sacrifices are about reward and punishment. This is the Lord God the Tribal God of the Hebrews,[Deut32v9.] Who both rewards and blesses His people, yet also orders the rape of the "daughters of Jerusalem' Zech14v2. He also orders the Jews to steal the cattle and oxen and women from the Nations they conquer. No wonder the Jews have been caught in holocausts and money grabbing even down till this day. The Real question is, which God do you want to serve?

Can you now see, how difficult it is to overcome all those billions of bit's of information that our ancestors have placed in our DNA or Book of Life? You know very well how hard it is to go against the belief system of your Parents and family. How hard you try to live up to their expectations, but that will never give you the truth!

Now our DNA/Causal Body are not a definable entity. It is not something you can say is a simple correspondence between one soul or causal boy equals one physical body. It could be one as with Adam, or the many. No individual causal body or DNA incarnates. Though ego would like to think so.

Hence you cannot equate population increase or decrease with the Causal Body/DNA. The DNA or Causal Body functions according to it's own inherent inner world and not according to the laws of this outer physical world and it's logic. The process of death is like an extended sleep. At death we just enter into a deeper sleep, this takes us into Borderland but never to return across the hearth of consciousness again into this world, never again as the old ego. So we enter into a greater Dream more directly and completely than that of our earthly dreams, that is the world of the astral Plane.

In this place our inherent love and desires manifest according to our belief system. With Christians it is heaven and hell. With Moslems it is their idea of heaven and hell.

We gradually move through these levels of the astral World CREATED BY OUR BELIEF SYSTEM WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.

We eventually move through them according to what is 40 years of earth time, a generation. Eventually we come to the Causal Body and finally pick up the last threads of our DNA and so prepare for the journey back as the helix spirals up as on Jacob's Ladder, ready to move on up another rung of our DNA, hopefully next time to utilise more of our DNA and it's accumulated information. That is why this world appears to advance in societal and scientific skills.

Some may pass through this experience more quickly than others. The soul as such can never cognise form or name. It cannot chose what family it will be born into. It is only the sovereign will of the Father that is forming this great Tapestry of Life. The causal soul and our DNA do not function out of the structures of artificial thoughts, but rather from the language of the heart. That is why we bond together in marriage and with our family from the language of heart not thoughts.

But these bonds of affection are wonderful for developing as a child and into adulthood. They are extremely helpful in raising our families, but they are deadly damaging to our spiritual life. That is why Jesus said "He came to bring a sword" to divide Father against son and Mother against daughter. All relationships have to be restored back to their Spiritual Source our Heavenly Father who "has no shape or form". That which has shape and form is a product of carnal mind, it is formed of dust. So we live in a world full of idols. We never see our brother/sister as God sees them, but rather as our mind sees them projected. Now if this image is not Christ it must be an idol. A graven image of mind. Only the sword of God's truth can sever these.

Now the Lord God formed man from the dust of the earth. This is actually the Second Formation of the World. El Elyon moving as the Spirit of All things created man, in His own image and Likeness, which is spirit not dust. This creation is all out of water.[2Peter3v5] Gen.2 is much better understood in the light of the "Flood". Gen.2 was not a creation but a formation that took place after the flood. Genesis means "a book of beginnings" it is not necessarily in Chronological order.

The "Soulish body " Paul speaks of in 1 Cor.15 refers to the body made of dust, not the coarse Body, the physical body made of more dense earth, but rather that made of finer matter, that physical eyes cannot even behold. So it says Christ as Jesus entered Sheol and "preached to the spirits in prison" and "preached to even those dead". Now what would be the point if the dead could not hear?

Hence we find the Christ in the Resurrection, appearing to His Own and instructing them in the "things concerning the kingdom". The great work of Transfiguration took place not at Golgotha, a place of the skull, representing the mind, but rather in the Tomb of the Heart. Their in the deepest recesses the Christ transforms his body to the finest vibrations of matter. That body could go through closed doors. This is the body he appears in, during those 40 days. This Body then transfigures after that to higher forms of light, and appeared lastly to the apostle Paul. After that His body is Totally Transfigured to Light, to that Body of Glory he had with the Father before the world was. And so it says "He ascended beyond all the Heavens".

Christianity is the only Religion that provides you not with a "vacuum" or 'enlightenment' or "nirvana" or a "sartori". It gives you the identity and means of Transfiguration. Now that Vehicle is Christ. Only Christ the True God and also His Son can give you eternal Life, the means of escape out of Egypt, through the deserts and storms of the astral realm, over the Jordan into the Kingdom of the Father. The home of the absolute, who is the "Father of All Living Spirits".

Now the FATHER DWELLS in our hearts, as the "Spirit of His Son". All we have to do is dive deep into our hearts, which actually is an ascent into the Heart. Only by going deep within can we escape the attachments and ignorance of this world. This is not done through the mind, though it's agencies may enable you to see it's futility to give you anything REAL. For the Mind itself has no reality, no fixed place in eternity. It 's thought structures are built on quick sand. We must not rely on mind which is actually external to us and knows only a projected world, but rather allow the mind to become just a channel for truth to flow as pure consciousness, like the living water from under God's Throne, unmuddied by conceptual thoughts and beliefs. Then mind can abandon all searches through out all worlds, and become just a vehicle for the sacred to flow. The profane finally gives way to the sacred, the unknown without cause or effects. The Known is always Profane and the real source of fear.

In the "Present Moment" we are free of all bondage. As long as we cling to the Past, we will be forever bound to the Past and repeating it's mistakes ad nauseam. Our name will still be missing from the Book of Life of our New DNA in Christ, as it will still be written in the old Book of life of a fallen Adam. Only the Blood of Christ as your new DNA, can you enter into eternal Life. But you must go through "the open door" now that door is Christ. "I am the Door" "I am the Way". But few enter in.
