Our task is to learn, to become God-like through knowledge By knowledge we approach God, and then we can rest. Then we come back to teach and help others. 2. There are many gods, for God is in each of us. 3. We have to be on different planes at different times. Each one is a level of higher consciousness. What plane we go to depends upon how far weve progressed 4. We must share our knowledge with other people. We all have abilities far beyond what we use. you should check your vices if you do not, you carry them over with you to another life when you decide you are strong enough to master the external problems, then you will no longer have them in your next life. 5. Everybodys path is basically the same. We all must learn certain attitudes while were in physical state. charity, hope, faith, lovewe must all know these things and know them well. 6. Everything is energy Humans can only see the outside, but you can go much deeper To be in physical state is abnormal. When you are in spiritual state that is natural to you. When we are sent back, its like being sent back to something we do not know. In the spirit world you have to wait, and then you are renewed. Its a dimension like the other dimensions 7. The fear of deaththat no amount of money or power can neutralizeremains within us. But if people knew that life is endless; so we never die; we were never really born, this fear would dissolve. We have lived countless times before and would live countless times againand spirits are around us to help while in physical state and after death, in spiritual state. We and our deceased loved ones would join these guardian angels. Enter email address Free Hinduism Newsletter!

Acts of violence and injustices against people do not go unnoted, but is repaid in kind in other lifetime. 9. Everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed we must accept what comes to us at a given time life is endless we just pass through different phases. There is no end. Time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned. 10. After death we get to the spiritual plane, we keep growing there, too. When we arrive, were burned out. We have to go through a renewal stage, a learning stage, and a stage of decision. We decide when we want to return, where, and for what reasonsOur body is just a vehicle for us while were here. It is our soul and our spirit that last forever Dr. Weiss believes, under hypnosis, Catherine was able to focus in on the part of her subconscious mind that stored actual past-life memories, or perhaps she had tapped into what the psychoanalyst Carl Jung termed the Collective Unconscious, the energy source that surrounds us containing the memories of the entire human race. Reincarnation in Hinduism Dr. Weisss experience and Catherines transcendental knowledge might be awe inspiring to the Occidental, but to a Hindu, the concept of rebirth, cycle of life and death, and this divine knowledge is natural. The holy Bhagavad Gita and the ancient Vedic scriptures embody all this wisdom; and these teachings form the primary tenets of Hinduism. Therefore, Dr. Weisss mention of Hindus in the last chapter of the book comes as a welcome acknowledgement to a religion that has already established all of his new-found experience. Reincarnation in Buddhism The concept of reincarnation is not new to Tibetan Buddhists, too. His Holiness the Dalai Lama believes that his body is like a garment, which when time comes, he will discard and move on to accept another. He will be reborn, and it is the disciples duty to find him out and follow him. (Source: Fifth Dimension - Discovery Channel) Reincarnation in Christianity Dr. Weiss also says that there were indeed references to reincarnation in the Old and the New Testaments. The early Gnostics Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Saint Jerome, and many others believed that they had lived before and would again. In A.D. 325 the Roman emperor Constantine the Great and Helena, his mother, erased references to reincarnation in the New Testament and the Second Council of Constantinople declared reincarnation a heresy in A.D. 553. They thought this would weaken the growing power of the Church by giving humans too much time to seek their salvation. Many Lives, Many Masters makes for an unstoppable read and, like Dr. Weiss, we too realize that "life is more than meets the eye. Life goes beyond our five senses. Be receptive to new knowledge and to new experiences. Our task is to learn, to become God-like though knowledge."
