Reincarnation of the Soul. Why don't we remember past lives?

Someone may ask why you need to know this and what is the use of it? The benefits are really huge. We seem to have repulsed the craving and desire for knowledge, interest in knowing ourselves and the world around us. After all, each person should ask himself the question: Who am I, why do I live, and what will happen next? People should see a deeper meaning of life than the satisfaction of their physical needs at the level of existence. Human life is not just vegetation as they are trying to instill in us. A person has this natural interest and questions, to which he in the depths of his soul seeks to find answers, but the social environment does everything possible to prevent this from being realized.

So to the question "What will happen next?" responds, including such a phenomenon as reincarnation. More precisely, it reflects the answer in itself, but there are other sources of the answer. In fact, every religion has this answer. The phenomenon of reincarnation of souls is considered in most Indian religions, but I would like to draw attention to where the Hindus got their knowledge about this, and what quality they were. The Hindus themselves know that the knowledge of the Vedas, including about reincarnation, was given to them by white people from the north. Hindus do not shout about it at every step, but try to pass it off as their own. And what country is located to the north of India and what kind of white people they are, I think it is not difficult to guess. It turns out that this knowledge of reincarnation is not alien to us.

What do other religions say about what will happen to a person after death? Take Christianity, for example. The answer to this question in this religion is that after death a person goes either to hell or to heaven, i.e. on this, life in the physical body, according to the concepts of Christianity, ends, and the soul gets to where it deserves. But few people know that the idea of reincarnation was previously also in Christianity and was excluded from its doctrine only in 1082 at the next Ecumenical Council.

For example, here is a passage from the Gospel of John chapter 9 verse 2:

“Once, seeing a blind man on the threshold of the temple, the disciples approached Jesus and asked:“Teacher! Who sinned, he or his parents, that he was born blind?"

It follows from this that Jesus' disciples knew that the quality of human life would affect the future incarnation, and that the reincarnation of souls is a natural process. It turns out that in the past, the idea of reincarnation was held by most of the world, if not the whole. So why did they suddenly exclude this concept in the same Christianity? Has the phenomenon of reincarnation become so untenable that everyone has forgotten about it? Is there really no evidence to support this? There are many. Take, for example, Ian Stevenson's book Testimonies of the Survival of Consciousness Gleaned from Memories of Previous Incarnations. The author, having been dealing with this issue for almost thirty years, has collected a huge amount of facts. It turns out that in the past, the peoples of the world had reasons to believe in reincarnation, just as now there is plenty of evidence of this "phenomenon". So why is it that the clearly opposite is suggested to us - that a person lives only once, and then, at best, to heaven or hell?

Let's see what famous people say, who have been involved in the knowledge of the world to one degree or another, looking for answers to such important questions. Here is what the writer Voltaire has to say on the subject:

“The concept of reincarnation is neither absurd nor useless. There is nothing strange about being born twice, not once."

And here are the words of Arthur Schopenhauer:

“If you ask me as an Asian to define Europe, I’ll have to answer like this:“This is a part of the world dominated by the incredible delusion that man is created out of nothing, and his current birth is the first entry into life.”

The words of these people make us think about understanding or denying reincarnation. Knowing that reincarnation exists, a person will consciously acquire and accumulate the best qualities in himself, strive to gain positive experience, new knowledge and understanding in order to move even further in the next life. And vice versa, rejecting, a person in ignorance can break the wood, for which later he will have to pay in the next incarnation or even drop out of the circle of incarnations, which often happens with suicide and other violations of the laws of nature. As they say, ignorance of the laws does not absolve from responsibility.

And here it is worth asking the question: "Who benefits from this?" Who benefits from people living through their lives as a waste of life, not realizing themselves and their destiny, and often also working out problems for themselves, which will then need to be sorted out? Let's remember that ideology is the most powerful weapon in the dark hands. With each change of power in the states, the ideology changed, the one that was beneficial to one or another ruler was established. The people often only had to accept that what someone had decided for them, they were often imposed by force, and gradually people forgot everything old and believed in the complete opposite as if by magic. So gradually everything important that a person knew and realized, including the idea of reincarnation, was gradually forgotten.

I would also like to draw your attention to what reincarnation exists for, on what some of its mechanisms are based. Apparently, the soul, or, to put it another way, the essence, requires a physical body to accumulate experience at a certain stage of development, otherwise the essence would not incarnate again and again. And here the moment is interesting why a person, being born in a new body, does not remember his previous incarnations. Someone allegedly closed our memory so that we would not go along the beaten path, but took a new path, since the previous path apparently turned out to be not so correct. It turns out that even nature itself disposes us in this moment to development.

Consider a fragment from Nikolai Levashov's book "Essence and Mind" volume 2:

“It should be noted that in most cases information about previous incarnations is not available to a person during his life. This is due to the fact that the recording of information occurs on the qualitative structures of the entity. And in order to “read” this information, a person in a new incarnation must reach the same level of evolutionary development that he was in previous or previous lives. And only when a person during his life evolutionarily advanced further than in any of the previous lives, it is possible to discover and read all the information accumulated by the entity over the entire history of its existence."

But how can a person advance further, if he does not know that he needs it, or rather, he was inspired to do so. The illusion that we live once is destructive for the development process. Thus, a fertile soil is created for various manipulations and traps. Especially for young people, when the substitution of the concept of freedom is slipped, exposing it as licentiousness and permissiveness. Slogans such as: "Life must be lived so that later it would be ashamed to remember" - are the result of a social illness that arose as a result of a stolen worldview and understanding of the laws of nature. Following the logic: “we live once - we have to do everything”, and without understanding and proper education, a person goes all out in pursuit of pleasure, entertainment and imaginary happiness. And happiness still does not come and does not come.

All this negatively affects not only the individual, but society as a whole. People were deliberately deprived of the core that would help them resist many temptations. People have been taught to be passive. With the ideology of a single life, the fear of death, the fear of getting problems, the loss of work, money, home prevails over a person, but if a person knows about reincarnation and the laws of karma, then the situation will radically change. It is more terrible not to die, but to step over such concepts as conscience and honor. A person would think once again before committing a crime, because then he will have to work out in the next incarnation. After all, repentance will not correct the situation and there is no one who would atone for all the sins of mankind. Imagine what a society could be like if the correct worldview prevailed in it.

Then a person becomes responsible for his own life. Injustice in society is no longer perceived as someone's punishment or test, but as something that a person himself has the right to cope with. At the same time, not putting your vices into a distant box, but starting with them, changing yourself and your future, the future of your people and society as a whole. A person becomes responsible for each of his actions and thoughts. At the same time, he consciously develops positive qualities not only for himself, but also for his future descendants, wishing to leave them good, not problems. But once all this was, we just need to remember and figure it out. In conclusion, I will quote the words of Eduard Asadov:

It's not enough to be born, they still have to become.
