Summary
Reincarnation is a cycle in which we carry emotional information from one life to the next. A strong connection with someone is not proof of love from a past life: that impression may stem from neediness or emotional charges from past relationships, including those that involved suffering. Understanding reincarnation runs up against the limitations of the physical body, which functions sequentially. Science and spirituality are part of the same reality, but mysticism based on secrets and our fragmented perspective keep them apart. Bringing them together requires detaching completely from emotional difficulties.

Our topic is reincarnation: we will address this type of spiritual event to understand the reincarnation process, the cycle of coming and going, using first a physical body and then the spiritual body. It is a repetition in which we take information from one life to another, always in our emotional processes.
I need to clarify something: you suddenly meet someone. Let us suppose you are a man, you look and see a woman, and you think, "Wow, when I looked at this person, I think I know her from another life because I felt something strong." You start talking to her, and she says the same thing: "Wow, funny, there is something between us." You may even say that this is karmic love: "Wow, it must be karmic love, because we saw each other and it feels as though we have known each other for a long time." Is that not the story we tell?
What can make us think this way is, first, our neediness. When there is neediness, we become completely blind, and the first thing that appears may be an alligator placed in front of us. There is no way around it: neediness clouds us, and we need to fill the enormous hole left by that absence. We dress up the situation to somehow resolve our issues.
But it may be that, in a previous life, we are not talking about your current emotional process, but rather about something that happened in that past life, something serious in your relationship with this person. It may have been someone you lived with, someone with whom you shared space, but this person may also, for example, have killed you. This person may have caused you so much suffering that you carry a poorly understood emotional charge that nevertheless exists. When you see this person, that charge is present, and you cannot properly discern what happened, which generates an emotion; because we are, in fact, emotion, we end up converting it into something that seems wonderful.
We already have a relationship, an emotional charge. This also happens when we use sex and believe that sex is that emotional moment; then we say, "I love you," and the other person replies, "I love you too." This has nothing to do with love; they are charges.
The question of whether reincarnation can be explained by science is a subject for extensive debate. We are consciousness. As consciousness, we follow a path that, in this physical dimension, is very limited. It is not possible to understand certain things while in this physical body. Our body is destructible, and its work always occurs sequentially; we cannot perform two or three tasks simultaneously. I am not referring to someone sitting behind a desk, speaking on the phone and writing at the same time. When one thing is done, the other must be interrupted; one speaks and listens only partially. Therefore, when talking about multitasking, the ability to understand each moment and be active in all of them is still another matter.
We will follow a path of growth and evolution, but it will be necessary to disconnect ourselves completely from emotional difficulties so that, one day, we can unite science and spirituality without any crisis. We set spirituality aside while absolute, verifiable truths are bubbling up. We create miracles, consciousnesses who become gurus and masters, and many other things. The spiritual aspect is something fantastic.
Someone arrives with science, and if you remember antiquity, you recall the person who said, "Look, Earth is not the center of the universe, because we had that idea." Earth is not flat; no one could say that. Imagine Galileo, who suddenly took lenses, polished them, and created the telescope. He would put them in place and make long notes. The man was very good, even though resources were scarce and small. Galileo made notes and discovered that something was wrong: someone had already stated that Earth was not the center, and he confirmed it. This nearly cost him his life; he was nearly burned, but he was clever and said, "It is not quite like that." He wrote a book on the subject. For science to advance, spirituality has always been a topic we conveniently use to obstruct the other person.
You can be sure: the spirituality we use is mystical spirituality, the kind no one can see, which survives in the shadows and cannot be explained. These are secrets. They are secrets of our society, and we cannot tell anyone, because the person could use them the wrong way. With this argument, I eliminate the possibility of your understanding more about spirituality.
The correct approach is: let us truly understand, because we are certain that everything that exists, including our scientific discoveries and the science we enhance each day with our searches and research, belongs together. They are not different things; we only need to discover that they are not distinct, that we placed them on one side and the other. When speaking, for example, about medicine, we will realize that medical activity is surrounded by spirituality and vice versa. That is how it happens. In our ignorance and convenience, we keep creating and dividing things because we are fragmented minds. We cannot deal with continuity and the whole. We deal with pieces that are much easier to understand.
