Summary

Reincarnation gives us time to evolve, since a single lifetime is not enough. Making the most of it means using our current bodies to improve our lives by eliminating illnesses, unhappiness, and emotional conflicts. This requires sincerity, self-knowledge, and a willingness to change, since ignorance and resistance make reincarnations repetitive. We also need to reexamine the illusions that distort our perception. Seriousness does not exclude joy, but celebrations should not be the focus of life: wisdom and liberation come from clarity of consciousness, not from euphoria.

Source transcript

Let us discuss reincarnation, an interesting topic. I consider it impossible for anyone to grow, evolve, and become holy in a single life. Those who stand out are seen as exceptional, because those who advance in evolution distinguish themselves from those who remain in the shadow of suffering. Astral projection experiences help us see ourselves more clearly. In the process of reincarnation, we waste time on disputes and illusions that we are right. Although we develop technology, this is small compared with what exists in the universe and with understanding ourselves. We are the greatest technology, but we do not know how to use it and, worse, we destroy it. Our self-destruction precedes our mutual destruction.

Reincarnation gives us time to learn gradually about what surrounds us. We should use this life seriously, which does not mean an absence of joy, but rather sincere and appropriate behavior, both toward others and toward ourselves. We need to step out of the shadow of the lies we create in order to survive and that, in the end, condemn others. If we do not take the initiative, we will waste precious time that could be used to feel gratitude and see the good things around us, overcoming the fear that causes us to live badly.

We create and project things that do not exist, distorting our perception of reality and of ourselves, and this is reflected in other people. Reincarnation is a wonderful space for our growth. We should recognize this and question how we are using this reincarnation, because we often fail to use it well due to ignorance and resistance to change and self-knowledge.

Our reincarnations become repetitive. We need to better understand the importance of life. We often believe we have the right to forgive or condemn, but that is a mistake. Forgiving requires authority and knowledge, and our laws, although necessary, are not absolute. Condemning or forgiving implies an authority and knowledge that we do not possess. We do this to protect ourselves or others, but we need to change this approach.

This reincarnation is a wonderful opportunity that we should use. We fail to use it when we live only for parties. Celebrations are good, but they should not be the focus of life. They should be moments for celebrating achievements, but within healthy limits. Euphoria does not lead to wisdom or liberation, which comes from clarity of consciousness.

We should make use of this moment and this life, aware that we have already gone through many reincarnations over several hundred or several thousand years. If we have the consciousness to use our present body well, that will already be a great step. Our goal should be to use this body to improve our life, eliminating illnesses, unhappiness, and emotional conflicts. Reincarnation is an opportunity that we cannot waste.
