Greetings, All:
Great thread. Much wisdom and knowledge here. And maybe the most important knowledge needed right now.
I'll try to explain that last sentence, starting with a story about Carl Jung, taken from Barbara Hannah's biography of Jung. She took care of him when he was dying, and wrote that several times he went to another state of consciousness and told her about it when he came back. One time he returned "visibly shaken" and said he had seen the Earth in the near future (I believe he died in the '60s), and that "much of the Earth had been destroyed, but, thank God, not all of it." In his book on UFOs he said that, whatever else they were, their appearance in increasing numbers in our skies since the detonating of the two bombs in Japan at the end of WWII could be symbolic of the preparation in the collective unconscious for the (again collective) unconscious knowledge of many. many deaths in the near future ("Heaven" often seen as "up there," and thus UFOs symbolic of pathways to Heaven).
I'm not quoting Jung as the be-all and end-all of wisdom. I like what Michael Tsarion says about not looking in another's eyes for what you need, that it's within. But I do think that Jung was a very wise man, and pay attention to his words. And I quote him because I have come to the conclusion myself that there IS going to be some mass destruction of life on our planet, not too far in the future, far greater than all the deaths being caused now by war and poverty.
At the same time the Light is growing, and the Veils are thinning, thus potentially offering a way out of the reincarnation trap for as many souls as can re-connect to the Light. The darkside, whatever term you want to use for them--the Annunaki, the reptilians, the Theocrats, the demonic realm, etc.--feeds on human souls and wants to take as many souls with them as they can when the shift--again, whatever you want to call it--happens. Anyone who found their way to this site is aware of all the barriers to re-connecting with the Source--the Light, the Oneness, Love, whatever one calls it, however one experiences it--now operative on our planet: the media manipulation of minds; the near-complete trapping of all humans in the money system; etc., etc.
All the misery on our planet, and all the human minds focusing on getting money, pornography, belief systems that foster separation from each other, etc., etc. have created very powerful thought forms that rule the lower astral planes. When a human dies, if he or she has not done the work to get free of all this, they get trapped for recycling, which is really all that reincarnation is.
I came to my own conclusion some years ago that reincarnation was at worst a lie, a tool of the darkside, and, at best, has been co-opted by the darkside. Supporting the worst-side view is the fact that the Sumerians, the oldest civilization--and a very warlike one--in the land where all the Western religious belief systems began, introduced the concept of reincarnation. Their "Lords of Karma" were considered to be evil.
Supporting the best-case scenario is Edgar Cayce's version of the creation story: When all was first created, when we were all beings of Light, some souls came to Earth, and, delighted with all the other forms of creation here, all the ways of experiencing life in this dimension on this planet, began using the then-free creative power of the mind to create physical bodies for themselves, sometimes creating part-fish, part land animal forms, etc. Because 3-D reality vibrates at a lower rate than the Source, the Light, these souls became stuck in 3-D form. In Atlantis, the time of Atlantis, many souls who were free, not trapped in matter, came to Earth, led, according to Cayce, by the soul we now call Jesus, with the purpose of freeing their entrapped fellow souls, and part of the healing and freeing process was the tool of reincarnation. The entrapped souls were truly trapped, and discoonected on the soul level from the Source. Some of the souls who came here to help became corrupted by the power they had over the entrapped souls, and began using them as slaves, and misusing their power in other ways, which led to the destruction of Atlantix. These corrupted souls fled before the sinking to Egypt, South America, and a few other places where religions using sacrifice and control were established--and where, as in Sumeria, they controlled the process of reincarnation through their misused spiritual power in the astral levels, while keeping access to that power from the masses.
Either way, reincarnation has obviously not served the purpose of awakening souls to our divine nature, as a quick look at our world shows.
As to getting free of the matrix, I am suspecting that for those of us who are awake, or waking up, it's going to be easier than we think. FEAR is the darkside's superweapon against those of us going home to the Light now.
Anyway, all this just my thoughts.
Peace, wynderer

The only decision? Heart or Brain...
I want to build up lucid and psychic abilities as much as possible. I also get the feeling that either an attachment or outside force doesn't want me gaining these abilities, so it's a struggle. And another part of me says I need to rid myself of this broken shell, I think infant circumcision has just as many spiritual side-effects as it does physical. God knows the energy trasnmitted during those operations and years to come.
