Million-Year Journey

 

The human-being reincarnates every 700 to 1,000 years, alternating between male and female with each incarnation. This means that in a single sidereal year* of 25,920 years, one can live between 25 and 36 lives.

*a sidereal year is the amount of time it takes for the earth to pass through all twelve signs of the zodiac. It takes 2,160 years to pass through one aeon, or 'age' of the zodiac.

Spiritually-advanced souls will incarnate at approximately 700-year intervals, as they require less time between incarnations to assimilate the life experience. Common souls need the extra time in the reflection-sphere to distill the benefits of the life lived and thus incarnate at the higher, 1,000-year interval.

Because each zodiacal age spans 2,160 years, we can see that a new personality is born twice under every sign, once as a male and once as a female. Sometimes there are exceptions, but that is the general rule.

So, how many lives have we lived? Let it be known that all of us have lived through the Atlantean Age and the Lemurian Age prior to that. The time of Atlantis spanned at least a 1,000,000 years of time in humanity's immediate past and was probably in existence for much longer than that. Applying the foregoing timelines, this means that in just the last one million years alone, all of us have lived at least nine hundred lives. Nine hundred.

That's hundreds of lives, countless personalities inhabiting our microcosm partaking in countless experiences. So many families, spouses, sons, daughters and siblings. Occupations as priest or priestess, black or white magician, warrior, politician, farmer, thief or murderer. An untold number of self-focused lives, resulting in selfish choices leading inevitably to dissolution and yet more turns on the Wheel of Death and Rebirth.

Through all of these lives runs a single thread, that of the seeking human-being. The human personality is forever searching for something, even though it knows not what that 'something' is. So it tries to find it in all sorts of nature-born activity. Predictably, because of the peculiar laws of duality, nothing that the human-being finds on the horizontal plane is lasting, or permanently fulfilling. Everything is evanescent, fleeting, temporal. Life is a constant rising, shining and fading.  Hundreds of lives, over and over, new personalities pursue the same futile dead-ends.

At some point during this long, long process of evolution, a personality in our microcosm may come in contact with the Gnosis. We learn of the Path of the True Way, the Path of Return. However, for whatever reason, we turn away from the Gnosis. We choose not to walk the Path in self-surrender, or we begin the Walk and then abort the effort. Although such incarnations are classified as failures, they are not completely so. For every life lived, nothing is lost. All is retained in the lipika of the microcosm, which accumulates and stores the karma and the soul-growth of the microcosm. Thus, the touch of the Gnosis experienced by a personality remains a permanent part of the microcosm.

Now we reach the present personality -- you. Within you, there is a spark of remembrance, due to your exposure to the Gnosis in a previous life or lives. You are drawn to the Universal Teachings, there is a resonance. You do not know why, but it 'feels right' to you. It is remembrance that is responsible for this. You as a personality once again face a critical choice: either act upon this pre-condition and finally take up the Path or turn away yet again and fail once more to achieve the One Goal of Humanity.

It has taken much effort, many failures and countless lives for your microcosm to develop a personality that has been able to get to this point. You now stand on the precipice of Liberation. Do not waste this opportunity. Gain insight. Direct your thinking, willing and feeling to the Transfiguristic process. Go the Path. Complete the journey that has been a million years in the making.

This is the life. You are the personality. Now is the time.
