"Question:  How does Reincarnation work?

Many believe that the current personality experienced on Earth now will, after the change known as "death", return to the "afterlife" for a time, the Astral Planes, before eventually returning again in the "future" for another life as another person. This is actually an erroneous but understandable perspective.[...]

The process of reincarnation can be related to a wheel.

If we look at a wooden cart wheel, we see that it has a hub at the centre, spokes radiating from the hub, the spokes eventually joining the outer rim of the wheel.

In this context then the wheel represents the following: Hub - the Higher Self; Spokes - timelines relative to the Earth concept of "time"; Rim - the physical Universe of matter.

The hub, the Higher Self is the total of all physical lives and "future" lives, "past", "present" and "Future" relative to Earth concept of "time.

Each spoke represents a "timeline" for each individual experience of a personality, or "incarnation".

Each incarnation therefore represents a personality which begins at the hub, travels to Earth along a particular timeline, arriving at the rim, collects a package of experience, and then progresses back up the spoke.[...]

The Higher Self chooses which country, location and parents would best present the opportunities and experiences required for this particular "incarnation".

So the Higher Self could for example send a personality as a female in one incarnation, who will be born to a family of bakers living in London, England in the year 1862.

Another personality of the Higher Self might be a male born to a doctor and his wife living in India in 1999.

Another personality might be a son born to a Saxon noble family of land owners in early medieval times and so on.

It is important to understand that these personalities are not sent by the Higher Self sequentially, i.e. one at a time. All incarnations of a human being take place concurrently relative to the Earth concept of "time", i.e. simultaneously relative to the Higher Self - the illusion called "time" while here on Earth."

For me the whole idea of reincarnation sounds boring, at least. Too much literature was written on this subject and maybe that`s why.
I kept hearing how outside this bidimensional world there is no time, and how everything happens in the same moment. And I can say I understood the idea. Now, thinking in retrospect I didn`t really understand it, most likely I assumed the idea and moved on.
We, on Earth, have this notion that time is linear, that now we`re doing this and in 10 years from now we will copulate with aliens and 1000 years ago we used to drink clean water.
The idea that time moves in a circle (even if I read about it before) was never something which can turn into a life-style. Now thinking about it, it does make it easier to think about the possibility to time-travel and to look at the whole process as indeed happening in the same time. If you die tomorrow and you (well, not literaly you but your soul) have the possibility to reincarnate not only after but even before your current existance, let`s say 2500 years ago and be a witness of Alexander`s empire, then our whole existance, our entire dogma is to be questioned.
I guess our current idea of time is one of the strongholds of the ego. You get born, you live, have children, and then you die. It all happens in the past, present and future. However, if there is no time, at least in my case, having and clinging to the idea of an ego gets very wonky. If I can die tomorrow and be revived prior to my latest existance, then there is nothing to base a "persona" upon. Who is this idea of me as long as my existance is not even liniar? I can move throught time, getting born here and there according to my life plan and to what I`m interested in experimenting at a certain "time".
I am as fluid as the ocean, or so I thought. Now i start to wonder if the ocean doesn`t hold even more "weight" than I ever did. How can someone say he is the sum of his history and his becoming if he can simply travel in time and change it and start all over again? Just go back, patch a few things and voila you are a completely different person.
And more than that, by changing yourself in this current life, you change "yourself" in all of your existences, as they all happen in the same moment. Everything happens Now.
Well, in this case, you - that which you consider yourself to be and what you stand for today - are not real. You are not even a figment of your own imagination. You and I, we do not exist. We are nothing but an experiment of something greater than we can ever imagine.
