Mysteries of Life and Death: Reincarnation and Karma

Reincarnation and Karma


The soul understands that life is a school, and it wishes to return to that school to perfect itself. When the soul wishes to return to that school of life to perfect itself, when the soul wants to return to the world, then the Angels of Destiny take that soul away to a new home. The Angels of Destiny unite with the soul or, we should say, connect the soul with the spermatozoon of the father’s semen. This spermatozoon—chosen by the soul who is going to be born—fertilizes the womb. The soul stays within the maternal womb for nine months, forming its new physical body.





There are forty-two Masters of Karma.

Karma is the Law of Compensation.


There is a system for remembering our past reincarnations: this system is the retrospective exercise. The disciple lies in his bed every night, and then practices retrospective exercises. The disciple begins by remembering everything that happened one hour before he went to bed, two hours before, every moment of the afternoon and the morning throughout the day. The disciple makes an effort to remember everything from yesterday and the day before. One must do the effort of remembering everything that happened during one month, two months, three months, one year, ten years, twenty years behind, until minutely remembering the entire history of his life.

The disciple must make the effort to remember the first five years of his life. The disciple will notice that this is very difficult. The first five years of life are very difficult to remember, however there exists a secret to remember this: the disciple must fall asleep while mentally pronouncing the following mantras:

Raaaaaa Oooommmm Gaaaaaa Ooooommmm…

The disciple will slumber while pronouncing mentally these two words, and will make the effort to remember in his sleepy state everything that happened to him during the first five years of the history of his infancy. These manners of dreams are truthful.


After our disciples have remembered their present entire life, then they must make the effort to remember the last moments of their past reincarnation. If the disciple, while performing this practice, quietly falls asleep, then on any given coming date, during sleep, he might remember his entire past reincarnation. With this secret, any disciple can not only remember his past reincarnation, but moreover, he/she can remember all of their past reincarnations. What is necessary is to practice every night with a lot of faith until attaining triumph.
