We applaud those who question religious principles and reincarnation rather than accepting them without a second thought.
We acknowledge that many receive great benefit from their respective faiths, and that tradition involving their worship is ingrained in their lives. We also acknowledge the wonderful charity work done by many religious groups.
God (or however you want to refer to the higher power) inspires religious doctrine, but human interpretation of spiritual truth can easily be flawed due to many reasons such as a weak or obstructed spiritual connection, ego-self domination over higher-self, and in some cases, personal or political agendas. Anything constructed from earthly viewpoints rooted in the social norms of the times is bound to be distorted.
Consider Christianity: Many tenets (such as reincarnation) were eliminated from the bible in early Church history over a 300 year political process in order to strengthen the Church?s foundation, thus its power and influence over the masses.
How do you find out what is valid and what is false? Do your own objective research. We?ve included a list of sources from Your Love Life and Reincarnation to get you started.
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Albert Einstein
