After so called death some spirits will initially find themselves in the Astral Plane or the Mental Plane until they pass into the Higher Mental Plane & prepare for their reincarnation or re-embodiment. To me C. W. Leadbeater from the Theosophical Society refers to the Right-hand path when he teaches: "The path of the sun is that of the occult aspirant, the man of spiritual desires, who values life only for what it can give to the higher Self in others as well as himself. He is also reborn, but usually without an interval, or after a very short one." (p275 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater Contrary to what the orthodox Christian priests have taught mankind, we will not be able to gain the Resurrection by simply believing in Jesus. It is not something simply handed out to everyone on a silver platter at the end of this life or at the Second Coming of Jesus. Jesus teaches that "not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven. Many will say unto Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity."(Saint Matthew 7:21-23)
The orthodox Christians interpretation of the Bible is usually like looking at the sun and assuming it revolves around the earth because that seems to be obvious. However, just as we have come to Realise that the sun does not actually revolve around the earth at all, sooner or later orthodox Christians will Realise some of their interpretations of the Bible are completely wrong. As our point of view is raised to a higher Spiritual level we see things differently just as an adult tends to see things completely different to a child. For example, a child may be totally unaware of the dangers of this world including death. In a similar way most orthodox-Christians are totally unaware of the danger of Re-embodiment or Reincarnation and if you are unaware of it how can you avoid it. Remember, just because many children are taught and therefore believe that Santa Claus brings their presents down the chimney does not change the Truth and sooner or later they will all Realise that what they had been taught was not true. Perhaps you may think; There are billions of Christians on this earth who believe as I do! We cannot all be wrong! Think again. There is no Spiritual safety in numbers. The Truth does not change simply because billions of Christians do not believe in It. In the Bible when Jesus & His disciples come across a man born blind His disciples ask Jesus why he was born blind. "Master who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"(Saint John 9:2) This suggests Jesus' disciples believed in Re-embodiment by implying the blind man may have sinned in a Past Life. In "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p187-8) we read: "And Peter said, Lord, if disease and imperfections all are caused by sin, who was the sinner in this case? the parents or the man himself? And Jesus said... Behold this man! Once in another life he was a cruel man, and in a cruel way destroyed the eyes of one, a fellow man. The parents of this man once turned their faces on a blind and helpless man, and drove him from their door." Incidentally re-embodiment was I think the most difficult principle for me to accept as I made the transition from orthodox Christianity to the Teachings of the Masters. In the Bible Jesus teaches the people; "Enter in at the Strait Gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat."(Saint Matthew 7:13) He also teaches; "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own Soul?"(Saint Matthew 16:26) Some of those individuals who oppose the Teachings of the Ascended Masters today are the same ones who opposed Jesus' Teachings 2000 years ago.
Reincarnation
George King from the Aetherius Society teaches: "Reincarnation is in the eyes of the great Masters, not a theory, but an essential part of Divine Truth, an aspect which, sooner or later, must be taught by every major Religion on Earth... Not for very much longer can the orthodox leaders of the Christian Religion suppress the existence of Truth regarding reincarnation." ("The Nine Freedoms" p111)
