1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,800
Ella segment of humanity, does
not accept the idea of rebirth
2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,100
choosing, instead to either
suggest that this one lifetime
3
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:17,300
is the entire frame and limit of
an individual's existence or
4
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:22,100
else that after death, they will
be resurrected to go before a
5
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:27,400
seat of judgment and either be
assigned to heaven or hell for
6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,900
all eternity.
We then come to those that
7
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,200
accept rebirth in some form, as
providing meaning and
8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,400
significance to life and the
evolutionary development, taking
9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,400
place in the Universal
manifestation.
10
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,400
Traditional Buddhist thought
does not accept the idea of a
11
00:00:46,408 --> 00:00:48,900
unique Soul moving from birth to
birth.
12
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,600
Although, Tibetan Buddhism comes
closest to this concept with its
13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,000
travel of the individual through
an intermediate Zone.
14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,500
They call the Bardot, and
eventually taking a new birth.
15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,800
And in the concept of
Reincarnation of great Lama,
16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:13,000
such as the various incarnations
of The Dalai Lama, In rebirth
17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,900
and Karma as well as in specific
chapters on the subject in the
18
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:21,000
Life.
Divine SRI aurobindo makes the
19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,400
case as to why the development
of the universal creation and
20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,200
the evolution of Consciousness
requires some entity, which he
21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,900
calls the psychic being or which
may be called.
22
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:38,100
Generally, the soul is a
necessary element in the
23
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:43,700
Machinery of the universe and
this progression of developing
24
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:48,300
Consciousness.
The popular conception takes the
25
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:52,200
very idea of rebirth and create
several imaginative.
26
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Albeit fanciful ideas about it.
One conception is the idea that
27
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,100
someone can be reborn as a dog
or a cat or a fish.
28
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:06,400
If they act in some way that is
considered less than fully human
29
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,200
in their lifetime, another
conception more directly on
30
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,800
point, is that what we
experience as our being our
31
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,000
external personality in this
lifetime is what we carry
32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,200
through from One Life to the
next.
33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,100
And while we may forget the
specifics, we carry through with
34
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:33,400
the intellectual emotional vital
and physical development of the
35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,500
past lifetimes and indeed
reassemble in a new body, the
36
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:44,700
framework of relationships, Etc,
that pertained in this life, a
37
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:48,200
more carefully.
Thought-out view, however, makes
38
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,100
it clear that Justice, the
physical body dissolves, the
39
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:57,100
vital body, the Emotional body
and eventually the mental body
40
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:02,900
also dissolve leaving, only the
central essential being the
41
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:08,100
psychic being or soul with the
essence of the experiences.
42
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:14,500
It has gathered to take the new
birth and experience an entirely
43
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,600
new and different life.
Founded on a basis of the past
44
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,800
experience of the soul and
focused on the next phase of
45
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,100
that Souls.
Growth and development.
46
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:31,300
Every means, of course, remotely
possible for some specific
47
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:36,600
mental vital or physical
capacity to be reintegrated in
48
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,600
the new Lifetime.
And there are even rare cases,
49
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,300
whereby a reincarnated Soul.
Actually brings forward memories
50
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,800
and talents acquired, in a
previous lifetime.
51
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Although, it must be cautioned
that this is not the normal
52
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,500
State of Affairs.
But one that is reserved for
53
00:03:56,500 --> 00:04:01,400
highly conscious Souls who are
in fact not attached to an
54
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,500
individual personality or body
but who have already transcended
55
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,400
and move their focus of
Consciousness outside that
56
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:17,899
limited framework.
A disciple asks, mother sent in
57
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:20,399
each new life.
The mind and vital as well as
58
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:24,200
the body are new.
How can the experiences of past
59
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,700
lives?
Be useful for them.
60
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:29,000
Do we have to go through all the
experiences?
61
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,600
Once again, the mother replies
quote, that depends on people.
62
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800
It is not the mind and vital,
which develop and progress from
63
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,100
life to life, except in all
together, exceptional cases, And
64
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:49,500
at a very Advanced stage of
evolution, it is the psychic.
65
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:53,200
So this is what happens.
The psychic has alternate
66
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,700
periods of activity and rest.
It has a life of progress
67
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:02,000
resulting from experiences of
the physical life of active
68
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,600
life, in a physical body, with
all the experiences of the body,
69
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:13,000
the vital, and the mind, then
normally the psychic goes into a
70
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,400
kind of rest for a Emulation
where the result of the progress
71
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,200
accomplished during its active?
Existence is worked out.
72
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:26,900
And when this assimilation is
finished, when it has absorbed
73
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:30,400
the progress, it is prepared and
it's active life on Earth.
74
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,400
It comes down again, in a new
body bringing with it, the
75
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,100
result of all its progress and
at an advanced stage, it even
76
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:45,600
chooses the environment and the
kind of body. and the kind of
77
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,200
life in which it will live to
complete, its experience
78
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,900
concerning one point or another
in some very advanced cases the
79
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:59,700
psychic can before leaving the
body, decide what kind of life
80
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:05,600
it will have in its next
Incarnation and quote reference
