Reincarnation is Return of Soul Information

There are people who believe that reincarnation is the process by which a human being is reborn into the physical world after having died. They believe that the soul of the person leaves behind memories of the past life in the unconscious mind, but takes with them characteristics and personality traits into the new life. So a person doesn't only live once, but lives several lifetimes through cycles of birth and rebirth. But the truth about reincarnation can be realized by understanding the two aspects of the soul.

The soul of a human being has two aspects which are the active and the passive aspect. The active aspect of the soul is the intelligence or self awareness of the person. The passive aspect of the soul is the memories, data and information of the person. After death, the active aspect of the soul transitions to the nonphysical realm. It will eventually come before the judgment seat and after that heaven or hell. It does not get reincarnated into the physical world. It is the passive aspect of the soul that returns.

It is claimed that several persons that span across different lifetimes are the same person with an oversoul that integrates all these personalities. But the truth is all souls of humankind are one oversoul. All man is Adam. Humans are a collective race. The whole planet is one being. We are all really different persons that are all part of the same consciousness called humanity. Unlike angels who fall individually, when Adam fell, all humanity fell. Because all of us humans came from Adam and we are all one.

When a person dies, the intelligence of their soul will pass on to the higher realms. But their life information and characteristic will be reintegrated into the collective unconscious mind of humanity and those information and characteristics will be imputed to a new soul that is born into the physical world. The reason is because, the unconscious of the previous soul is still seeking expression in certain ways and it is given new chances to do so through a new person in new a combination of conditions.

God or Original Consciousness seeks to express its possibilities sequentially and that is why it created the physical world. It is for the purpose of consciousness to know infinite power in a place of limitation. Original Consciousness projected an aspect of itself as Man to know itself as totality. The tree of life is a metaphysical system of enlightenment that was meant for Man to realize God fully. But Man forfeited the tree of life when he partook the tree of knowledge of good and evil which is the law of God.

This law of God is not universal law but it is moral law. As a result, man perceived reality based on what should be and what shouldn't be. You can never know God fully based on what should be and what shouldn't be. You can only know God based on what is. Enlightenment is coming to the knowledge of what is, while ignorance is being blind to what is. Down through history, humanity is evolving in consciousness through reintegration of past consciousness and being given the chance to realize God fully.

It is said that when a person becomes enlightened, his consciousness escapes the cycle of birth and rebirth and doesn't need to be reincarnated. It is true in a sense that his soul's data does not need to be reintegrated into humanity and imputed into new human beings that are born. Otherwise every new person will be born enlightened and that would defeat the whole purpose of consciousness reintegration. But whether a person becomes enlightened or not, his intelligence would not return to physical living.

There is only one way to know God fully, and that is through Jesus Christ. He alone contains the sum of the universal and personal aspect of God. Man will never know God fully without knowing the personal aspect of God. Believing in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross brings complete reconciliation between the individual soul of a human being with the Spirit of God. When a person is saved, he has capability to know both universal and personal aspect of God fully in all levels of the universe.

The reason why a person has soul connections with specific individuals in the past and is even able to remember their past through hypnosis is because they have an ancestral link with those individuals. The memories are not actually from their past lives, but they are obtained by tapping into the collective unconscious of humanity's past memories. The ancestral link is the result of characteristic and personality traits of related souls being passed on to us as part of our life's purpose in the present life.

All sin is the result of Ego thinking. Fear, jealousy, hatred, greed and dishonesty is all based on serving his individuated consciousness alone and not realizing his total reality of holistic and universal existence. Ego thinking is separation from God consciousness. Ego thinking is perpetuated by the sin nature of Adam and it takes the full power of God to totally override it. Jesus Christ was born in the likeness of sinful flesh without the sin nature to reconcile the world to the full power of God with his death.

But Lucifer wants Mankind to achieve enlightenment without Jesus Christ. He seeks to bring people to realize harmony with universal consciousness through knowing the universal aspect of God. But the truth is, no being can ever be in total harmony with God without realizing His personal aspect. Lucifer is out of alignment with the personal aspect of God and so are all those beings who deny God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Such beings are only partially enlightened and believing otherwise.

The unfolding drama of conscious evolution is a battle between Christ and Lucifer's plan for the world. Both seek the enlightenment of Man as a whole. As consciousness keeps reintegrating itself and evolving over time, humanity will reach a point of mass enlightenment. That is the time when third dimension will start shifting into fourth dimension because the planet is awakening to the true nature of reality. It would also signify the end of the world as physicality would no longer need to exist the way it is.

In order for man to be enlightened, all Man must be enlightened. That is why humanity is given time to attain enlightenment though many generations. But in order for man to be saved, every individual person has to make his choice personally. It is those who believe in Jesus Christ who are given the keys to the whole kingdom of God. There is only one chance to receive salvation in one lifetime, and that alone is more than enough time for each freewill being that is born as a human to make a choice of eternity.

Blues Guitar Legends: B. B. King

He moves slowly now, his 82-year-old body starting to betray him, joints aching from time and the endless miles he's traveled over a lifetime. He steps onto the stage, throws the strap of the Gibson ES-335 over his shoulder and squints slightly into the cheering crowd. His face breaks into a wide, humbled, almost embarrassed smile as a rumbling "Good Evening" floats out to his audience. As his left hand moves to the neck of the guitar and the right hand reaches down and strikes the strings, the years melt away and suddenly you find yourself watching a master craftsman ply his trade. The house fills with those unmistakable midnight blue tones that raise the hairs on the back of your neck. B. B. King half closes his eyes, screws up his face, and…he's off into his own place, taking you with him.

Born Riley B. King on September 16th, 1925 on a plantation in Mississippi, his early life was as a farm worker. A guitar-playing pastor at the Sanctified Church awed him with his playing when B. B. was five years old, but he did not buy his first guitar until he was 12. Working has a house-boy for $15 a month, he saved as much as he could (still needing a loan from his boss) and bought a red Stella Acoustic from a man down the road. Like so many blues guitar players of his time, he gave himself guitar lessons with the assistance of a couple of books and the popular recordings of the day. At fifteen he played on the streets for change in his native Indianolo, but later got the itch to move on in search of a music career, hitchhiking to Memphis in 1946.

After busking and playing in gospel groups in Memphis for a year, King was given an opportunity to play on a popular radio local radio show hosted by harmonica legend Sonny Boy Williamson. From there, he moved to regular gigs in Beale Streets clubs. Soon after, B.B. secured a stint on WDIA hosting a radio spot, singing blues and playing records under the self-appointed air-name Beales Street Blues Boy, shortening it to B. B. King. His first recordings were done in 1949, for Sam Phillips’ Sun Records, but his first hit came in December 1951 with his remake of Lowell Fulson's "Three O'Clock Blues”. He scored four number one R&B hits between 1951 and 1954, including his now signature "You Upset Me Baby”.

By 1955, King had quit his radio show on WDIA, bought a bus, and embarked on a cross-country tour. In 1958, the bus hit a gas truck on a bridge in Texas. Although King nor none of his band members were on the bus at the time, the truck driver was killed. It took King several years to pay the debts incurred as a result of the accident.

Although King remained very popular with black audiences, he had yet to break free from the chitlin' circuit. This changed dramatically for King with the recording of "Live at the Regal", a live recording of a show done at a South Side Chicago blues club in 1964. This recording is often referred to as being one of the best lives records ever made.

It was his performance at the 1967 Montreaux Jazz Festival that exposed B. B. to a wider audience. During this time when so many British guitarists were paying homage to American blues artists, King struck well in the U.K. landing an tour opening for The Rolling Stones on their sixth U.S. tour.

In 1970, King recorded his most famous song "The Thrill Is Gone”. Immediately recognized from the electric shrill of the opening notes to his booming, friendly voice, it is not only a staple of his shows but also a song that any self-respecting blues guitarist is obligated to learn.

His most famous band mate has always been “Lucille”, the guitars named from an incident in Twist, Arkansas. During the show, two men started fighting, a kerosene heater was kicked over, and in moments the wood framed club was on fire. King escaped but ran back inside to rescue his cherished guitar, barely making it out with his life. When King learned that the fight was over a woman named Lucille, King named all of his guitars Lucille to serve as a reminder never to do something that reckless again. Gibson has issued a special commemorative B. B. King signature edition of the famed ES-335 named, of course, Lucille.

King said early on that he wanted to become a blues ambassador to the world, just as Louis Armstrong had done with jazz- and he did just that. In among his distinctive blues guitar licks are elements of rock, jazz and gospel that result in a style uniquely his own. King does not play chords nor does he sing while he plays. King sings out in a warm, friendly manner that deftly combines elements of pain and humor, and when he halts his voice Lucille picks up the song where King leaves off, carrying on in a round robin of singer and guitarist, call and response in the rich Delta tradition.

B. B. has always been a tireless performer. In his early days as a struggling musician, he would often play as many as four towns a night, making it back to WDIA in time for his on-air shift. His touring schedule is legendary; it is estimated that now, in his early eighties, King has played in the neighborhood of twenty thousand shows in his career and is still managing over two hundred shows a year. It's easy to see time wearing him down-he seems to talk more in his shows than he plays these days-but when it comes to King, the thrill is still there.

It's impossible to know how much longer we'll have him around. He has won Grammy's, been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and been awarded several honorary degrees, but he still ties directly to the rich, verdant Delta soil and the heavy tradition that it brought. Don't miss your chance to see blues royalty while you can- go see The King of the Blues.
