We believe in reincarnation, and also believe in the possibility of becoming so spiritually evolved that we no longer are required to reincarnate. I treat both Reincarnation and the intimately related topic of Spiritual Evolution in detail in my book, Teachings of Essene Jesus and Magdalene on Yoga and Meditation.
In regard to reincarnation, Nasareans teach the following main points:
- Souls reincarnate in order to have appropriate body types for their current stage of development on the Spiral Ladder of Ascension in spiritual evolution.
- All creatures – not only humans – continue to reincarnate until they reach the level of soul development – via spiritual evolution – where they are no longer required to reincarnate.
- There is typically a time of rest and reflection between lives wherein a soul contemplates deeply the lessons learned in that incarnation and becomes aware of further lessons that can be learned in the next incarnation.
- According to various manifestations of Karma – the collective Laws of the Universe including The Law of Cause and Effect – what we do in one incarnation will follow us into our next incarnation (or another future incarnation), as suggested by the following saying of Yahshua: “As you sow in one life, so will you reap in another.” That teaching is echoed by Miriam: “The hurt you cause in the morning will overtake you in the evening.” She similarly declares: “Hurt comes to the hurtful.” But she also makes clear that, as long as we are kind to all creatures, we need not fear our future incarnations: “Yea, I tell you truly, those that are kind to all creatures need not fear their own futures.”
- Once we are sufficiently evolved and need not reincarnate anymore, we still are free to choose to incarnate in a lower realm where mortal flesh must be worn as a garment if we are to be seen and heard by those that we wish to teach and help. Unless we manifest a body that is within the spectrum of vibration that the people we are ministering to can sense – be aware of – and communicate with, we must remain invisible to them and serve them in other ways such as serving as prayer angels.
In regard to point five above, once we reach a certain level of spiritual evolution we will have angelic bodies that never die. At that point, we are not required to reincarnate anymore. That does not mean we will be done learning and growing – the universe is infinite and we will always have new lessons to learn. But, at that point, WE WILL HAVE TRANSCENDED THE WHEEL OF REQUIRED
DEATH AND REBIRTH. However, in order to be seen, touched, and considered “real” by physically incarnated beings of a lower evolutionary level whom we wish to help, we may sometimes CHOOSE to incarnate physically. Such a CHOSEN incarnation motivated by divine compassion rather than bondage to flesh is the act of an “AVATAR.” This explains why Yahshua and Miriam, the SUPREME AVATARS and SUPREME CHRISTS, take physical incarnations even though not bound to the wheel of required physical birth and death: DIVINE COMPASSION!
