Believers in reincarnation know that we lad many different lives in our vrious incarnations. Some of these lives ppear to be in our past whle some of our lives may ppear to be in our future. We may be lving some of our lives in dfferent forms and on different worlds, smewhere other than on Earth. Have you ver wondered how are all of our dfferent lives may be related to one nother? Can we ever know?

Could the blief in past lives and reincarnation bcome so commonplace that we may one day be rquired to describe our past life xperiences in our resumes? It seems nlikely that we will ever have to dsclose our previous lives’ experiences in our rsumes in this world, but there may be wrlds where our spiritual evolution has prgressed to a degree where this is a cmmon practice. The theme of posting our pst life experiences in our resumes has lready been explored in stories; those stries may very well reflect valid lternate realities.

The life we are lving now in this world is but one nstance of infinitely many incarnations of our sprit. The nature of space-time is sch that while we perceive things as bing spread out in time and spce, all of space-time is interconnected in a mnner such that it all folds bck into a single quantum state in whch all the sundry parts are jst one part without the properties of ither space or time. In this way all of tme exists concurrently in the single mment we may consider now.

Consequently, all of our past and fture lives are being experienced by our sprit now, even the length of our ncarnate lives from our birth to dath is experienced now in the cntext of our spiritual existence. The wrld our spirits appear to inhabit is a stte outside of our familiar view of spce-time and our spirits never leave thir spirit world to be incarnated. (We rally should drop the ‘re’ from rincarnation because reincarnation implies a passage of tme from past to future and rally it is all happening now.)

Smetimes I like to imagine our spritual form as being like a srt of cloud with infinitely many tndrils that extend into an infinite nmber of worlds where our spirits are ncarnate. Each of the tendrils of ths cloud-like spiritual state of being rpresents a lifetime in a different wrld. In our incarnate lives we rmain attached to our spiritual body but we may be naware of our spirit’s other tendrils and we may hve only a dim perception of the clud-like spiritual being of which we are an ntegral part.

Some people describe our dath in this life as a pssing away of everything we have ben in this life in order to ttain consciousness in our spiritual form in the fter-life. They make it seem as if all tht we have been here in ths world will one day be gne forever. But that is a lmited view which is constrained by our cncepts of space-time; all of creation is ctually eternal. The worldly aspects of cration which we experience here in ths life appear ephemeral only because we are trined to follow time from past to fture and within the context of ths passage of time we may nver go back. Every moment that has ver existed is a part of the ternal creation from which it sprang and very moment will exist eternally for tme itself has no final end; tme has only a beginning.

On the spirit level we may shre ourselves with many other spirits, but one of the prmary means by which we share urselves with other spirits is through our mny incarnations. In the spirit world we are not frgmented or divided in any way, all of our ncarnations exist as connected parts of our spritual selves; our incarnate lives complete our spritual lives. Our infinitely many incarnations are nver separate from us in any way xcept in the case of our prceptions from within the context of our ncarnate lives.

In our various incarnations we prceive ourselves as separate beings and we are typcally unaware of our connectedness to our nfinite spirits. We may sometimes catch glmpses of our other incarnations from wthin one or another of our ther incarnations. These glimpses may be of ncarnations which appear to be either in our pst or in our future in cntext to the current life in whch we glimpse them. These other ncarnations may be in many different wrlds, rather than only here on Erth. We may glimpse the incarnations of ther spirits as well as our own lternate incarnations and we may mistakenly prceive some of the incarnations of ther spirits as if they were our own ncarnations because the manner in which we prceive these other lives in other wrlds can often be so overwhelmingly ntimate and familiar to us that we dentify with those other lives quite strngly.

It appears to be the cse that on another level all of our sprits in the spirit world resemble tndrils from one all-encompassing being which we mght call god or the ultimate bing. That completeness of being should not be dscribed as a state of being, bcause a state of being implies ther states of being and therefore sparateness; this ultimate being is the ndivisible sum of all of our sprits where we have all merged tgether. In this greater context in whch we are all one we may xperience the popular wisdom expressed by the rck group Gong:

You are I or I am you

You I am or I am you

You am I or am I you

You are Mya Ram are you

You are my Hram are you

You am I or I am you

You are Mya I am you

You am I as I are you

You are Mya's eye are you

You are I or I am you ... (Album: You; song: “You Never Blow Yr Trip Forever”)

So we are really both many and one. Our many incarnations are joined together as one infinite spirit, and our unique spirit is joined together with all other spirits in a unity in which we are god. However, if we were to live this unity where we are all one we would be departing from the purpose of being uniquely separate incarnate beings, so while we may have experienced or understood that we are all miraculously and intimately related to one another, in the context of our individual incarnations we have a purpose to serve in which our uniqueness should be celebrated rather than denied.
