Steve Burgess describes reincarnation as a process of soul growth over many lifetimes, aiming to become a higher, purer being who no longer needs to reincarnate on Earth. Life plans are made before birth but are flexible due to free will.
Reincarnation is often driven by attachment to the evolutionary process of learning and growth.
Pamela Aaralyn
Be it true that there IS the fact of reincarnation, and that souls that once occupied such an environ are entering the earth’s sphere and inhabiting individuals in the present, is it any wonder that—if they made such alterations in the affairs of the earth in their day, as to bring destruction upon themselves—if they are entering now, they might make many changes in the affairs of peoples and individuals in the present? Are they, then, being born into the world? If so, what were their environs—and will those environs mean in a material world today?
Edgar Cayce
Their knowledge of dimensions also shaped their understanding of death. The Atlanteans viewed death as a transition rather than an ending.

Rebirth? It has been known for all, for surely it is true. Only those of the ignorant and uninformed can fear the thought of reincarnation, as you call it.
D : Many people say that you live once and die once, and that is all there is. S: There are those who say that once the body goes into the ground, that all that was that being has been lost and moulders with the worms. This is not true. If a person is dead or has become no longer inhabiting a body as we know, they must then go over what they have done. They must decide which lessons that they wish to deal with and proceed in erasing the debts that they have incurred. Then they go to school (on the other side). Then sometimes they decide to come back very soon. This is not always good because if you come back too soon perhaps if it was not a very good life you have not had the time to understand what you have done wrong and to give yourself time to correct. Therefore it is not good to jump right back into existence as I know it and others know.

The Purpose of Reincarnation
Reincarnation functions as a learning process, akin to a school where souls accumulate experience and wisdom. Souls that have reincarnated now are often old souls who have prepared through many lifetimes for this moment. Old souls demonstrate awareness and discernment, in contrast to newer souls who may be more naive.
Lee Carroll – Kryon
The actual mechanism shows that all lives occur simultaneously and are interlinked. The space-time lens distorts this simultaneity into a linear progression, making it appear as if one soul experiences reincarnations sequentially. The distinction between the actual mechanism and the perception is critical for understanding the nature of reincarnation.
Bashar
The long term purpose of incarnations is the evolution of the individual soul and ultimately, of the Greater Soul and Universal Consciousness. So the way the incarnation process is conducted matters very importantly, as it defines the general evolution of a species and of its influence on its home-planet.

Atlantis
Almost everyone on Earth has had an incarnation in Atlantis, where great spiritual and technological knowledge was amassed beyond anything we can currently comprehend. It is now time for the ancient wisdom to be brought forward so that another Golden Age can develop.

Reincarnation Trap
- The idea of a reincarnation trap is reframed as a result of human forgetfulness rather than external manipulation.
- Souls choose to return to assist others in remembering their power and divinity.
Reincarnation is an illusion
Reincarnation is an illusion. It is real as an experience, but everything exists at once. All lives exist now. You can create the experience of going from one life to another and meeting again.
Those other lives already exist right now as different people, simultaneous with who you are. You connect energetically to download information and energy for this life. They do the same from their side.
From the oversoul perspective, all lives exist simultaneously. The oversoul has extensions in many incarnations at the same time. Your sense of one life after another is only a linear perspective inside space-time.
Mechanically, you have one life. As you shift perspective, you experience other lives.
Bashar
Karma
This will also be affected, because this planet in the future is not going to have karma. That is something that won’t be allowed here. It will be a planet of Light and Peace and will be our grand experiment that succeeded.

But according to the information I have discovered, we cannot return and reunite with God until we have completed all of our lessons and gained all the knowledge we are capable of. Then, it is our destiny to return and share all we have learned with God. In this sense, we are literally cells in the body of God.

Ego
Thus, when Esther has no need to be Esther anymore, the ego anchor dissolves. She cannot take it back to the Lake. For many people, this ruins the theory of reincarnation. In the old understanding, continuity is based on a kind of spiritual ego that says, “I was ‘this’ person, then ‘that’ person, then ‘that’ person, and so on.” This kind of linear expression is not how things work in the Lake.

History
“‘The Lord,’ they say, ‘in ages gone by, sent this message to men: Oh, men, you will die, but you will rise again. The messenger of the Lord was tardy in the performance of his mission, and a wicked being hastened to precede him, and proclaimed to men: The Lord saith, You will die, and you will die for ever. When the true messenger arrived, they would not listen to him, but replied, The first word is the first, the second is nothing.’ In the legend the first messenger of the Lord is designated by the name of the Grey Lizard, and the other who supplanted him, by that of the Chameleon.”

Question 222 in The Spirits’ Book by Allan Kardec addresses the justice of reincarnation through the progress of nations. Here is the key excerpt from Kardec’s commentary on its ancient origins, including references to metempsychosis and ancient Egypt:
“The doctrine of reincarnation, that is to say, the doctrine which proclaims that men have many successive existence, is neither new nor modern… It is, on the contrary, as old as the world, and is the one form of the doctrine of immortality which has been believed in by the largest number of persons.
It was taught as a strict doctrine by Pythagoras; but he, as is well known, borrowed it from the Indian and Egyptian philosophers, among whom it had been held as a traditional tenet from time immemorial… The doctrine of metempsychosis, or transmigration of souls, was a fundamental principle with the ancients…
But the antique doctrine of metempsychosis was not the same as the modern doctrine of reincarnation; for the ancients believed that human souls might pass into the bodies of animals, which the modern doctrine does not admit.”

Preexistence of souls
The Second Synod Council of Constantinople condemned doctrines tied to soul preexistence under Justinian’s influence without Pope Vigilius present. Convened by Justinian to address the Three Chapters controversy and Origenist views. It issued 14 anathemas, with the first stating: “If anyone asserts the fabulous pre-existence of souls, and shall assert the monstrous restoration which follows from it: let him be anathema.” This condemns preexistence and apokatastasis, interpreted by some as implying cyclical soul returns, but not reincarnation explicitly
“In 553 AD, the belief in reincarnation was outlawed at the Second Synod Council of Constantinople under the influence of the Emperor Justinian. The council decided, without the attendance of the Pope, that: ‘If anyone assert the fabulous preexistence of souls and shall submit to the monstrous doctrine that follows from it, let him be… excommunicated’. The ‘monstrous doctrine’ was that we live forever on an eternal journey of evolution through experience and we are all responsible for our actions in this physical life or a future one. An acceptance of reincarnation took away the power of the heaven or hell mob to frighten people into doing as they, sorry, ‘God’, said. The knowledge continued to be sucked from the public domain. After Constantine the Great, came other emperors who influenced the course of the fast emerging Christian creed … Anyone who strayed even marginally from the official beliefs was brutally executed and their documents destroyed – exactly the Nimrod doctrine of Babylon. This is not just a bunch of power crazed psychopaths, ad-libbing their way through this grotesque slaughter, it was a coldly calculated plan to rule by terror … they wanted to create a mental and emotional prison cell, outside of which it was fatal to tread.”
David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (117)
Remembering past lives
216. Why do we not remember our past lives? “To avoid interference; remembrance would trouble present life and hinder free will.”
The Spirits’ Book by Allan Kardec
- Does the spirit remember past existences after death? “Yes, fully in the spirit world.”
- Can past lives be recalled during incarnation? “In rare cases, through special conditions or at certain ages; generally, forgetfulness is the rule for progress.”
D : Is it possible to remember past lives?
S: Some of us, we know the lives previous, yes. Some of them that are important. It is easier not to remember it because if you remember, a lot of times you become overcome with great guilt. It is not perhaps necessary for that time. If it were necessary, you would remember. There are those in the community who are trained to remember. And there are those who would choose that path, but it is not for everyone. The elders would be able to tell you who you were, if it was asked. There are masters who have the ability, not only to remember theirs, but to help others remember. But for the most part, those who know who they were, remember. Usually Yahweh decides if He would grant this remembrance and then the pathway is started upon.
Jesus and the Essenes
I was Cleopatra
When people remember a past life, they indeed remember a lifetime experience of a drop of the Lake, because the Lake contains it all. The same you doesn’t really reincarnate from lifetime to lifetime. That is a simplistic way to explain it to help people understand. This is why many people claim to have past-life memory as the same person, usually a well-known historical figure such as a queen. This is because all drops carry every memory according to holographic principle. In that way, numerous people might consciously retain this memory from the Lake. The ego has a tendency to claim it as its own, saying, “I was Cleopatra.” But, truly, there is no “I” in the Lake. The I is an illusion used by the ego to make sense of a separated reality.
The Golden Lake
In ancient Egypt, it took many lifetimes
In ancient Egypt, it took many lifetimes for the initiates trained in the priesthoods to completely open their eyes to other realities. They were trained to reincarnate into certain families and to remember who they were. Mothers and fathers understood who they would be birthing because they would dream of it. They would know who was coming into their bodies before they even moved into conception. The eyes were much more open then, and could see into many different realities. They were called the eyes of Horus because they could look into many different worlds—the world of waking and the world of sleeping, the world of death and the world of dreaming.
Henry Ford
Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company confessed, “I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was 26…Work is futile if we cannot utilize the experience we collect in one life in the next. When I discovered Reincarnation it was as if I had found a universal plan… Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the hands of the clock… Genius is experience… It is the fruit of long experience in many lives.” Cayce once gave a reading for one of Ford’s executive partners, detailing his past life in the Atlantean colonies in Peru as an alchemical expert who had mastered a rare and lost art of tempering copper and iron to create a powerful alloy which he eventually used to create royal electromagnetic armor for a king in pre-dynastic Egypt, likely Plato’s and Hesiod’s “orichalcum,” which we will explore later.
