The reincarnation consists of returning to the human
life after the physical death. It is to say to return to be born like human without the memory of the previous lives.
Some to see or to listen to the word Reincarnation make feel their reality
immediately, others need to research that knowledge and look
for favorable and opposite arguments the reincarnation; more
perhaps they get to accept that reality and others in spite of all the
arguments reject it.
Based on the Law of Action-Reaction, the possibility of the
reincarnation and the continuation with the experiences after the
death it gives the occasion us to put in practice all the spiritual
lessons and to put remedy to the errors committed in the previous life
to be able to later reach the knowledge that allows the dominion of
the spirit on the matter.
Let us see some theological aspects on the
reincarnation.
The Church has preferred to instill in us the fear to hell and
the eternal sentence, before to grant to us the knowledge,
indispensable to be able to choose and to be independent of blind
obedience, or the promises to enter the Paradise.
The Reincarnation, however, is
a privileged mechanism that warranty divine justice, the divine love
of God, Divine Essence, Nature, or as each one interprets it.
As well as the genius is born and it does not become, there is
truths with which it is born and they are pronounced abruptly or
gradually and they wake up to a reality that gives new sense to the
life.
That happens to the Reincarnation, all will not be able to accept it, why in year 553
Council of Constantinopla, presided over by the Pope but by a lay one
(Emperor Justiniano I) did not cause that "heresy" was declared the
education of Origins of Alexandria and other Parents of the Church,
all of them believers in the reincarnation.
Fifteen postulates were condemned by conciliate among them: the preexistence of the souls, the Reincarnation,
the eternity of the creation, etc.
Today due to the natural human evolution and when mental
waking up that at the moment it happens, to wake up that he is not
equal for all since there are souls with more and less experiences,
the majority would accept the Reincarnation and other truths by
inspiration and not by dogma.
The aim of century 19 had been very different, with a majority
acceptance between the Christians, if I conciliate had not decreed
what decreed symbolically like key for the future; it did
retaining by the force in Rome Virgilio Pope who had to preside over
it and who had accepted the lessons as they were transmitted, being
reencarnacionista (believing in the reincarnation).
Virgilio Pope and his successors Pelagio I, Pelagio II and
Gregorio I, rejected the arranged thing by I conciliate. This
lasted until year 604.
In the West, at the moment most obstinate to accept the
possibility of the Reincarnation, generally, they are the Christian
groups, for those who nothing will gain with showing some outstanding
Biblical versicles to them by the students of the subject;
equal they will give another explanation him to those
versicles.
The knowledge of the reincarnation is millenarian, but new in
its cosmic conception to the light of the present human evolution and
modern physical science.
Nevertheless we cannot not know that the first Wise Parents of
the Church related to the education left by Jesus Christ accepted the
Reincarnation.
Justino Martir (100 - 165)
expressed: "the soul lives more on once in a human body, but it
cannot remember his previous experiences".
San Clemente of Alexandria (150 -
220) indicated: "Before the creation of the world we preexisted
in God, rational creatures of the Verb of God because of which we went
back in the beginning".
Origins of Alexandria (185 - 254) he
emphasized several theological principles. He said: "the
preexistence of the souls Exists: the soul is immaterial and
therefore there is neither principle nor aim of his no existence.
There is a constant process towards the perfection, being we
first like mud glasses, after glass, silver, to finalize like gold
chalices. All the spirits were created without fault, and all
have to return, finally, to their original perfection. The
education of the souls continues in successive worlds. There
are innumerable worlds that follow an a others during eternal eras.
It will not be more according to the reason than each soul for
certain mysterious reasons is introduced in a body in agreement with
its merits and previous actions ".
Sinesio (370 - 430) declared:
"Father grants that my soul, being in the light no longer is
submerged in the deceptive Earth illusion. The soul that did
not return soon to the celestial region of where was sent to the
Earth, must pass through many lives crossing the world ".
Archbishop Puacher Passaralli of the order of the Capuchinos,
attached apostolic preacher to Santo Sínodo (Vatican) is in favor of
the thesis of the Reincarnation, writing to senator Taurredi, his
companion of beliefs, the following words:
"If it were possible to popularize the idea of the plurality of
the existence in this world, it would be means to make the divine will
to allow the man to expiar his sins, to be purified and to make an
effort in being worthy of God and the inmortal life.
This would be a great step that would solve intrincate and
painful problems that distress to the human soul.
I think every day more about this truth, that will be prodigal
in benefits for the religion and the society."
Although it is truth that in our western world is taking force
so idea, the belief and indoctrinates of the Reincarnation is
well-known from the antiquity and maintained by the diverse present
religions of all Asia and taught by multiple philosophical and
spiritualist schools. Many known old philosophers good, such as
Pitágoras, Sócrates, Plato and very many others, maintained like
truth the law of the Renaissances, is to say of the reincarnation.
There is a phrase of Pitágoras to his advanced disciples more:
"a life in the meat, is not more than a curtain ring in the
long chain of the evolution of the soul".
It could also mention many phrases of other philosophers and of
some parents of the primitive Christian Church, but I will conclude
the introduction to this subject, mentioning only one of the phrases
of the Gospel, for those who are within the Christian doctrine or
belong to some of the churches of the Christianity. Because the
Reincarnation or return to the physical life, is very clear in the New
Testament.
When Jesus, the Mesías, spoke to the multitude that followed
to him, and talking about to Juan the Baptist said: "and if you
want to oir it, it is Elías that was to come". (S. Mateo XI v.
14-15). Then, this return of Elías to the meat, to the
physical life, had been announced by Malaquías prophet (IV-5).
And in the Gospel of San Mateo (C. XVII v. 12-13), in
the one of San Marcos (C. IX v. 10-12), in the one of San Lucas
(C. I v 13-14-15-16-17), they refer clearly that Jesus said that
Elías had come in the person from Juan the Baptist. You can
verify it.
That is that, Jesus, the Mesías, he affirmed that Elías, the
spirit of Elías naturally, had returned to the physical life, had
reincarnated in the person of Juan the Baptist (Johanan, son of
Zacarías and Isabel).
Before this affirmation of the Mesías, some doubt fits.
Why, then, this truth by the Christian churches is hidden.
The Reincarnation comprised of the Christian doctrine, in the
first centuries of the primitive Christianity, that pure Christianity,
of love and renunciación.
This foundation of the spiritual progress by means of the
Renaissances, has arisen again in the middle of century XIX, by the
effort of a missionary of the spiritism, known with the name of Allán
Kardec that has contributed greatly to give new life to this truth in
our western world.
Happening through many existence we only can obtain that the
values of the soul evolve, and the human race can improve as a whole.
In fact there are three positions or theories in this subject
that step to detail.
I expose the same ones to the criterion of you, because nothing
must accept by dogma or imposition, but that must arise from our own
reasoning, of our own one to feel. We must accept what it is in
affinity with our thought, to feel that affinity, coincident with our
discernment, only way to apply the true faith in all our acts.
1. The Materialistic Theory maintains that the life is a trip of the birth to the
death; that the mind is the result of certain correlations of
the matter; that the man is elevated intelligent life of the
Cosmos; and that its intelligence perishes when the body is
disintegrated after the death. It does not have absolutely
nothing else there of the death.
2. The Theological Theory affirms that each birth a soul just created by the hands
of God enters the experience of the life, happening of an invisible
state, through the birth, to a visible existence. To the period
end short of our life in the material world we happened, through the
death, to the further on invisible one, from where one does not become
more and than our happiness or misfortune it is determined by all the
eternity by the works that we have made during the infinitesimal
period between the birth and the death. Infinitely
infinitesimal if we compared it with the Universe. This theory
maintains the immortality of the soul.
3. The Theory of the Reincarnation or Renaissance standard that each soul is a part born of
God, and that is developing all the divine possibilities, as well as
the seed develops a plant; that by means of incarnations
repeated in a human body we are improving the quality gradually and
developing the powers given by our divine nature; that all the
humanity will reach the goal of the perfection and the return to its
origin, the divinity. The soul is inmortal but it is developed
through multiple incarnations.
The purpose of showing these three theories, one in against and
two in favor of the life beyond the death has in detail by purpose
that the reader values the different schools from thought on this
fundamental subject ours to feel and ours to think, not always
explained.
The cause that a mystery is beyond the reach of the human
understanding does not mean that we do not have to try to
include/understand it, to where it is possible, within the dominion of
the intellect.
