Theos-Talk Archives (June 2000 Message tt00197)

Dear Wayne,

Yes.  You, the Higher Self, the True Individual, the Detached Observer have
appeared in this appearance of a world and have confronted the appearance of
the this world and have created a person, a mask, and will, with a nice and
lovely natural peaceful death, as Wayne, be over and done with.  You as the
true conscious Higher Self will remain and according to karma will be on
stage once again at some apparent time confronting the appearances of life
starting where Wayne left off.  Re-incarnation is a rare event wherein Wayne
gets into an accident and dies tragically and the etheric body is allowed by
Nature to remain intact and enter into a new body that has also become
available through karma.  Re-incarnation is the exception to the rule.
Rebirth is the common ritual.  Ian Stevenson has proved the fact of
re-incarnation in nature, to my mind, in his forty years of studying
children that seem to remember their past lives.  For more info please
contact me.

Gene
