DISCOVER THE MYSTERIES OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Our Birth is but a sleep and a forgetting

the soul that travels with us,

Our living star, hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar.

William Wadsworth

Have you ever wondered what life is all about? Did you ever ask the question, “What is the meaning of life?” Did you ever ponder over your purpose for living, and, if so, how do you know what it is? Why were you born and why are you here? Were you placed here for a special reason? Or are we here to merely enjoy ourselves or else to be miserable? It seems that materialism and hedonism are rampant in our modern-day society. Is this our life’s purpose or are we missing something? Is there a greater purpose in life or are we just born, get through life, and then die no matter how good or bad we had it during our lifetime? Do we get one chance and only one chance in living this life? What happens if we screw up in this life; is there a do-over, an ultimate Mulligan? Is it true that “life is a bitch, and then you die?” This would be sad if that is all to life. Why are some people very rich while others are poor? Is it the luck of the draw? Why are some people born healthy and some are born infirmed?

 The meaning of life is not only a philosophical and psychological query into our lives, but also extends to religious, spiritual and theological aspects of our belief system.  Alternative questions include; “Why was I born?”, “Why am I here?”, “Do I have a purpose in life?”, “What is my purpose in life?”, and “What is life all about?” These kinds of perplexing questions have been the subject of considerable scientific, philosophical, and religious debate throughout the centuries. The proposed answers to these kinds of questions are quite varied, diverse, and controversial usually depending upon one’s own personal background and cultural biases.

There is so much controversy between creationism and evolution. The Theory of Evolution postulates that man evolved from the lower animal species, which eventually developed from the primordial slime of early Earth. Some people claim man evolved from the proverbial “ape”; and creationists teach that God made man de novo from the do-called slime of the earth and that man did not evolve from the lower animals. In Chapter 2 in the Book of Genesis, And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth; and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul (Gen.2:7 DRA). We were taught that God made man in His own image and likeness. How do we know what to believe? 

In his book on reincarnation, Swami Abhedananda (S.A.) references the Theory of Transmigration and states that this theory of Transmigration has been accepted by the people of India and the Orient for thousands of years. It explains the questions of life, death, and the afterlife, that is the perpetual existence of the soul following the death of the human body. The theory is based on the supposition that the spirit or soul (atma) continues to exist following death and dissolution of the material body, and does not rely on a physical entity to exist. Deniers of the existence of the soul as a separate entity free from physical existence consequently must also deny the theory of transmigration. The soul or spirit is a living energy that exists on a much higher energy plane and higher dimension so that it cannot be observed, quantified, measured or evaluated by our modern scientific methodologies. Thus, agnostic scientists and non-believers deny the existence of the individual spirit (soul) or anything beyond physical analysis or experimentation by their limited physical senses and experimentation, as explained by S.A.. Thus the soul that exists on this higher energy level cannot be perceived by current scientific methods.

Ultimately, soul development and spiritual progress during our physical existence on Earth depend upon what level of righteous behavior we exhibit. This behavior includes unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, good works, and helping others. These virtues exemplify the level of the fourth chakra, as discussed in my book, Mysteries of Life, Death and Beyond. It is because, at this level of spiritual achievement, our immortal soul will continue to exist in the afterlife. No one likes to think about death, but it is inevitable. Achieving the highest level of the chakras or spiritual enlightenment in this life will help prepare our spirit for eternal bliss and joy in the afterlife. If we die with our consciousness mired in the lower chakras and negative karma, we will not experience all of God’s blessings and heavenly bliss. Otherwise, we are probably doomed to undergo repeat reincarnations until we get it right. Do not waste this lifetime; this is your golden opportunity to achieve eternal and true happiness. Otherwise, you will be destined to relive your mistakes many times over again. Your next lifetime may be a lot worse than your current lifetime; worse yet, you will have accrued more Karmic debt for which you must atone. Start today; it is never too late during this lifetime. 

Our spirit is also an energy that cannot be destroyed and is continuously seeking perfection. Perfection can only be achieved by purification through the elimination of the shackles of karma. Life on earth can be complicated. The ancient gods from Nibiru fashioned humankind utilizing their DNA to become Primitive Workers to assist the Anunnaki in mining the gold in southern Africa. A strange being called Galzu, a Divine Emissary, directed these ancient gods to save humankind from the ravages of the great Deluge and to leave Earth to the Earthlings. The evolution of these Earthlings, unknown to Enki and Ninmah at that time, provided physical existence not only to help serve the gods but also for souls reincarnating into physical form. In this way, our souls entered our physical bodies to help remove our karmic debts.

But take comfort, although there are times we feel despondent, alone, and confused in this lifetime. The spiritual world is a reality, and we have loving spiritual guides and guardians to help us get through this life. We affectionately refer to them as our angels. These spiritual beings realize the complexities and difficulties we experience during our lifetimes on Earth, and they are here to help. All we have to do is ask for their help.  Unfortunately,  we do not realize or accept these beings in our lives.  We may shun them from our lives or be totally unaware that they exist. Just because we cannot see them it does not mean that they do not exist. They only exist in a non-physical form of energy, spiritual energy – but they exist if you allow them into your heart. Many times when I personally experienced mishaps and confusion in my life, I felt a guiding hand helping me. I know others have experienced the same feelings. One time I prayed to my spirit guides and guardians at night and asked for a specific sign in the morning to indicate that they were listening. To my amazement, the sign appeared the next morning. I am not trying to convince anyone that there is a spiritual world out there, but if you believe, a sign will appear. When good things, whether great or minor, occur, I thank my guides, and they frequently respond. They appreciate gratitude. As Marcus Tullius Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of all virtues but the parent of all the others.” We tend to think we are alone and may become frightened, but our guides and guardians are always there to provide comfort and protection. All we have to do is pray to them, and they will guide us. Ask them to direct your path. When bad things happen, it may be a sign to redirect your path in life, or this may be a means to help eliminate negative karma. You may see only one set of footprints on your lonely path, but they may not be yours. Sometimes we get carried over the finish line.

Success in life is knowing your life’s purpose.
