How often do we reincarnate? — YouTube from the CEC Library

Reincarnating is a challenge. Each consciousness follows a unique path on a planet with 7.3 billion inhabitants, and not everyone reincarnates at the same time. There are consciousnesses that are better and others worse, some in a better condition of understanding spirituality and others not. Spiritual reality may be different from what we imagine: in physical life, we fulfill material desires, but spiritual life requires effort and personal improvement.

The time between reincarnations varies considerably. Some reincarnate in one year, others in ten, others take a century to reincarnate, and there are cases of people who go 800 or 900 years, or even much longer, without returning to Earth. Imagine reincarnating after 500 years and finding a world with airplanes, cell phones, buildings, ships, vehicles, and different streets: it is an intense cultural and technological shock. It is important not to create emotional burdens that delay our growth. Reincarnation is a precious opportunity to evolve. Many people talk about spirituality, but few truly practice it. If we understood spiritual reality, we would work to continue our evolution without needing to reincarnate.

However, we are repeaters: we go back to living old patterns without adding new knowledge. Change requires effort, courage, and common sense. This means transforming thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes. Adding new knowledge is difficult when we are trapped in old habits. Change takes work and, often, it is not what we want to do in life.
