Spiritual rebirth

Numerous accounts of spiritual re-birth are found in the Gospels and the Epistle to the Corinthians. A main Christian message is that one must die in order to be born again as Jesus says to Nicodemus in the Gospel of John, 3-3: “I am telling you the truth: no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again”, and, (6) “A person is born physically of human parents, but is born spiritually of the Spirit.” This death is not of physical but rather of spiritual and psychological nature. It is symbolic of the death of the ‘ego-self’. A transformation occurs when a person gains profound insight or has an “Aha!” experience that leads to a shift of consciousness. The Spirit is not an external element, but it is rather the God essence within each person. This is the meaning of Jesus’ statement in the Gospel of John, 10-34 “It is written in your own Law that God said: You are gods.” The same idea is beautifully expressed in the words of the Bulgarian Master Beinsa Douno: “Look for the origin of all things so that you may find the true God within your soul.”
The ultimate goal of salvation is to obtain salvation from the lower ignorant ‘ego-self’ and its destructive habits. When a person acknowledges that God is inside of him or her and that this God essence permeates everything, the individual gains understanding and acceptance of the message, “You are gods.” The scriptures do not discriminate by saying that some of us are gods, but asserts that all of creation is holy. In Colossians 3-11 we read: “Christ is all, Christ is in all.” This Christ or Cosmic consciousness is accessible to everyone.

Transmigration of the soul and physical likeness

Some people believe in reincarnation/rebirth of the soul. My first experience with past lives occurred about 10 years ago during a dream. In the dream I observed some people and an internal voice told me "this is you in a past life". I have been quite familiar with the concept of reincarnation but never really trying to recall any past lives. From that time on, I had started to recall other "lives". However, I do not view rebirth from past to present. What I mean is, during a cosmic consciousness experience I was able to realize that life is all One and that we only focus on a separate existence(s) within the limit of a linear time. Everything occurs at the same time and one can have the ability to see other life forms (which does not necessarily mean) that one was an animal or a plant etc. Since everything is interconnected a person is able to access the information of everything else/everyone else. So, what may seem as a "past life" is actually another life we're not conscious of until that moment. There is an imprint of this in the Akashik records (the energy field containing all information) This imprint allows psychics and in the past prophets to see the "past and the future" There is in fact no past no present no future (just NOW and ONE) You can become aware of what it feels to be a dolphin or an apple tree or another individual (whom you believe to have been in another life) However, there is a field of past life regression and one called life progression. The later lets a person experience or glimpse a "future life of theirs"
Everything is occurring at the same time but our consciousness abides to a three dimensional world and linear time.
Some people believe that when a person reincarnates in a new body, they look similar to the other person (because they carry the same spiritual or rather astral essence). I personally do not hold this conviction too strongly but am open minded to it. One experience of mine occurred few years ago when I dreamt of specific art work and two spiritual guides. Upon waking up, I went online and tried to make sense of the information I've received in my dream state. That is how I came upon Cynthia's website about this phenomenon.
Later, she compared a picture of mine with that of the artist Hilma Af Klint that I had dreamt about (and had very vivid art work images for about few days in my mind's eye.) Now, it is possible that my "current" personal consciousness had tapped into that of the "individual one" of the artist Hilma Af Klint. I am not saying I am her reincarnation. I am only stating that since we are all part of ONE, we could have the experience and knowledge of other beings. So there is really nothing that reincarnates or moves from body to body (it is only that at certain time we become aware of something or someone else) You may as well one day have an experience of "my" consciousness and so forth. WE are all ONE. Just something to ponder upon.
