11-Reasons
for Re-incarnation
November 1988
There is a glory in the
moon, a glory in the sun and there is also glory as light is
reflected upon the glistening surfaces of water: there is radiance
as the beauty of light is disposed through the droplets of the airy
world to break into myriad fragments which reflect the glory as a
gleaming radiance and a gentleness of silvery light. The eyes of
men and women have beheld these glories throughout the immemorial
days and months and years of earth’s history. Such light, the
beauty of such colour and the breaking forth of this radiance,
brings the soul of man and woman to think of Thee, Oh Thou Great
Master and Creator of all things.
Oh Thou
Spirit who art Light within Thyself and Who, in the purity of Your
radiance, does set light into every place; Oh Thou Spirit of Light,
man is indeed the reflection of Thy beauty and holds within himself
part of Your own glorious radiance. The radiance in the soul of man
surpasses the beauty of sunlight and moon and is beyond the beauty
of light as it is reflected upon the still quiet surfaces of
gleaming waters, for the soul of man is radiance and light in
itself, it is indeed the beauty and light of Thy Spirit, Oh Thou
Great Master Creator.
We pray
that man may shine with his own beautiful light, and that light will
be wherever men and women dwell; that the soul of man and woman may
be as a lit candle of faith showing forth the gleaming radiance of
their praise unto Thee who art the Master Creator of all. When the
soul of man and woman shines with purity and radiance, with an
unclouded flame, then their life becomes a life of praise unto the
Master Creator, and becomes a showing forth in every part and
particle on their inward being of Thy Divine Light and Beauty.
In Light,
in Power and Peace, I set within this room the sign and seal of
spirit in the form of a great gleaming circle of radiant light, that
it may shine and gleam as the sign that herein spirit and earth have
met together in beauty and unity.
Beloved brothers and
sisters, I come and speak with you through the voice of this medium,
and as I come I bring some part of spirit power and spirit force; I
come to clothe in a raiment of spoken words the beautiful truths
that are known unto us in spirit. When you say to me: “What are the
reasons and purposes that we as individuals become incarnate in this
world of earthly matter?” I must say to you beloved ones, There are
many, many reasons, and many, many purposes. But to those to whom I
speak, the reasons why you are here are threefold.
The first
is that you may gain experience as you come into this heavy world of
matter. This is an experience which cannot be gained in any other
way except by being immersed in the world of matter itself. You
feel upon your hands the heaviness of clay, and upon your soul the
heaviness and weariness of the physical body; as you move amid this
earthly world, you feel in your soul’s self how immovable is the
rock and how sticky the clay. You experience and discover of what
substance is the flesh, and you breathe and know of what nature is
the air upon which your soul is dependent for life. As you
experience these things, you come to know something about the mortal
world and the substances which compose it, for how else may you know
of what nature is the matter of your earthly world? Another spirit
may speak to you for a thousand years and still you will not know
how heavy is the water and how dense is the clay, because all
descriptions and all explanations still defy the understanding:
understanding which can only be gained by experience, by feeling
and testing, by knowing. Only thus can you know the nature of
substance, the nature of the earthly world.
The first
lesson and reason for the incarnation of spirit into the matter of
the earthly world is for the purpose of gaining experience, gaining
knowledge, for knowing of what nature is the substance of the
earth. The Master Creator has set upon the great string of
existence a myriad of worlds and stars, innumerable states of
existence - and the immortal spirit, the living soul, cannot know
these by simply thinking about them. The spirit learns about the
great places of creation by experience and contact, and so gains
knowledge of the creativeness which lies within himself.
I say to
you, As your hand rests upon the rough bark of a tree or fondles the
silken substance of water, as you lift up your eyes and behold light
within the heavens or cast down your sight and behold darkness in
the valleys, you are still learning about the world, about creation
and the nature of that creation in which you dwell. Even when you
create your little globes and send them rocketing forth into the
outer firmament and men walk upon the moon or stars, are you not
doing just this same thing? Discovering for yourself of what
substance is the moon and the stars? As you learn this, you know
for yourself something about the very world in which you dwell -
this is the first reason for your incarnation.
Your second
reason for coming into the incarnation of the earthly world is to
learn to master earth’s forces, which you do in the time of your
infancy and the years of your growth. Before you dwell as a man or
woman in your earthly world you have to master the forces of heat
and cold, and the great forces of attraction and repulsion. You
have to learn to keep your body upright upon its feet and not let it
be drawn down by the forces of earth nor sucked up into the heavens
by stellar forces which have their effect upon the earth itself.
So your
lesson is the lesson of mastery. You learn to master the forces
which govern the body, the powers of the mighty winds which would
blow you hither and thither as well as the heat of the sun which can
scorch and wither so you no longer exist. You master these forces
that your existence may continue through the mortal and physical
body. As you master them, you come to master the instrument through
which the will of your spirit is expressed; your appetites and
hungers - the desires which draw you hither and thither - these have
to be mastered by the will of your spirit. You give your physical
body a correct sufficiency of food: you do not allow your appetites
to run away with you so that you give the body such an amount of
food that it cannot digest this. You master your hunger and your
thirst, for this is the lesson of mastery.
As you
master these forces, by the will of your spirit you inevitably come
to the mastery of the emotions. The feelings, angers and loves, the
attractions and repulsions, affect you in the mental, emotional and
spiritual states because you are a spirit trying to learn the lesson
of mastery. Would that you were taught this in your youth, beloved
ones, so that you would not allow yourself to be tossed this way and
that by your appetites and anxieties but would see and know that the
great challenge of your life is to overcome; to master and make
good your will and your desire through the mind and the brain and
through the heart and body during the few short years of your
earthly experience.
When you
come to the realisation of your mastery then you fulfil the third
great reason for your incarnation into the earthly world - the
transmutation or cleansing of the soul of this earthly world in
which you dwell by imparting into its aura or soul some quality of
your own spirit which will cleanse, enrich and beautify this world
in which you take your incarnation. Your creative effort may be in
the creation of a body through which another spirit becomes ensouled
in the earthly world: the process of birth enables you to give a
soul of value and beauty to the world, who may be taught to live
according to the Will of the Great Master Creator, and through whom
light and love and beauty may enrich your world.
The life
and beauty of children who are properly taught and brought into the
right state of spiritual understanding often brings a gaiety and
beauty to the soul of the world, a cleansing and harmony which is
not sufficiently understood by those who pass through the experience
of parenthood. I would say to you, Do not despise this action of
the creativeness of life, but undertake it with reverence and an
understanding of the privilege of creating a body through which a
beautiful spirit may come into the ensoulment of the earthly world.
Beloved
ones, as you live your life of experience and dwell with your mortal
and physical body, remember that the will and power of your spirit
is expressed through your hands and fingers, so bless all as you
take your way day by day. Love - and leave the loving imprint of
spirit on the seat wherein you sit, upon the substance that you
touch, and upon the person whom you bless. Let the will of your
spirit go out in blessing through the touch of your hands and
fingers upon earth’s living substances. As you do this you leave
the touch of the healer and life-giver, the touch of a spirit
creator upon the very substance of the world around you. You are
spirit, incarnate in the living body of physical matter, and through
your body the will of your spirit is being expressed.
In your
moments of prayerfulness and quiet meditation, sometimes let light
go out from your mind and your aura, send out beams of spiritual
light and radiance into the world surrounding you. As it goes forth
your light slowly interpenetrates the aura of the earthly world and
helps to eradicate the impressions of darkness left over the many,
many long years of earth’s past history, when men have wept tears of
sorrow or in fear have impressed the soul of the world with
depression and fearfulness. In their lack of understanding, others
have wrought vengeance and battle, cruelty and torment upon the
creation that surrounds them and left an impression of suffering and
tears upon the soul of the world. But you who understand your
purpose in the world can wipe clean this slate, you can wipe clean
this aura. You can replace these old impressions of dark with
impressions of light and love and peace, and in its fashion this
heals the soul of the world in which you dwell.
As spirits
coming into the earthly life, I would say that this is your
threefold purpose. Firstly, you come to learn; secondly, you come
to master; and thirdly, you come to contribute something of love –
a pattern of beauty, a restoration of harmony and bringing forth of
healing. It is a cleansing and a love and light to the world in
which you find yourself.
We who seek
to teach you from the regions of light and speak to you through the
voice of this medium, in the years still to come we plan that your
young children and youths and maidens will be taught the purpose of
their coming into the earthly life, that they may no longer be
sucked into the whirlpools of negative thought and selfish desire
created by those in the past who left wrong impressions upon the
aura of your world. Make sure you leave the right impressions. Be
certain that you give out light and love, that you radiate
forgiveness and circulate healing in all your thoughts and words,
your actions and prayers in this day and all the days that are still
to come.
In this
little interweaving of the fabric of words, I weld you all together
into one unity, and bring you into your little seasons of study,
your little times of questioning.
Question:
Ramadahn, I did not really understand about streams of light coming
from us.
Ramadahn:
Beloved one,
this relates to the streams of life which meet here on your earthly
world. There are some spirits who come into earthly existence for
the purpose of giving light and mastering earth’s forces, and these
are spirits such as yourselves. But there are others who come to
earth on a different stream of existence, they come from another
planet, and as they come into your earthly world they meet with you
and your influences intermingle. Then these of a lower vibration
are lifted into a higher vibration through the love and
understanding of souls such as yourselves. As you give out light
and patience to lift up this less developed wave of souls, so you
are enlarged in your opportunity for sharing and giving of
yourselves.
Also
entering into your earthly world there are specialised souls or
spirits who have come from another degree of experience. These have
become known as mongol or idiot. They are spirits of a special
group who come into the earth life for their first incarnation and
they come seeking love. Often the brain is less developed and the
use of the hands is less than that of more experienced souls in the
earthly world. But those who tend these little spirits, who lavish
love on them, lift them into a higher vibration - and they
themselves are lifted by their contact with these souls.
Question:
Is there a particular area of the brain from which love thoughts
should be sent?
Ramadahn:
No, beloved
one: love thoughts should be in the heart first and then the
thought will go out as one whole pattern of love. But the thought
is invariably sent from the region which is level or just below the
brow or eyebrows, because this is the region of the brain which is
associated with the giving out of deliberate loving thoughts.
I bless you each one, and sign and seal you with
the sign and seal of light. I send you forth enrobed in the
garments of knowledge, crowned with the crowns of peace, and bearing
within yourselves the flame of love that you may become right royal
servers and revealers to all earth dwellers of the real knowledge of
life.
