Reincarnation and Ascension

Again we remind you to visit the glossary for unfamiliar terms. The link is at the bottom of the page. 

Introduction:

Early in the Zeb Messages we were told, "We will deal with the Journey of the Soul for others have not addressed the complete cycle nor presented it accurately in all cases." (8.14)

This caused us to question, what is the complete "Journey of the Soul?" Obviously, the journey  is referred to as a complete cycle. We can assume there is a journey out  to get somewhere, then we do something while we're at our destination, and there is a journey back.

Zeb confirms this in the next statement: "From God you come and to God you return." (8.15)

You may think this is nothing new. Everyone who believes in God has heard something similar, but they disagree on how that process is accomplished and why.

Some believe all souls were created in an instant "Big Bang." That didn't ring true for me since we have more people alive today than have ever lived on this planet, as far as we can tell, and when you consider the hundreds of lives one soul reincarnates into, that leaves a lot of souls standing in line for their chance to begin incarnation.

Nor did it ring true for me that all our incarnations occur at the same time. I may be wrong about this, but where would the soul growth come from if we didn't incarnate sequentially with an opportunity to plan and regroup prior to the next incarnation?

Since ZZ assured us that the complete picture would be unfolded, we waited and so we have received a broader picture, but is it complete? Not yet. Will there be more added? Probably. As we have said elsewhere, the work of Zeb and Zarna is an ongoing work in progress. They will give us more when they feel we are ready.

We strongly suggest if you are interested in the soul that you read the articles on this site prior to this one, particularly,  The Comprehensive Guide to the Soul and Twin Soul Development: Age vs. Maturity for elements explained there, (for instance, the Levels of the Soul) are critical to understand the branching out of the soul on its journey out.

The Journey Out -- "From God We Came."

In The Comprehensive Guide to the Soul, we have identified the various levels of the soul from "The All Thing" (The One "Big God"), down through the “No name” level to the twelve Soul Groups. Within each Soul Group you have subdivisions of soul clusters ranging in size from the Mission Group Cluster, which is made up of, Twin Soul Family Groups and includes an unspecified number of Composite Twin Souls--the Whole You.

But the you who is reading this article is not the all or whole of Who You Are. There are many more divisions. The you who is reading this is but one of a series of incarnational personalities  (identities) that make up Who You Are. Even this is but half of the picture, for we must take in account your Twin Soul who is also part of you.

Yet, the process doesn't end with you, as we will soon see. Within you are universes. The largest are your organs made up of cells, which are comprised of atoms. The range goes out into infinity with no beginning or end in either direction. For the purpose of this article we will limit our discussion to our physical dimension and the incarnational personalities that we are.

There is very little said about the journey out in the ZZ Messages, and I wondered why when I started to research the references for this article. We are given many references to the various levels, and that they are created according to the needs of some plan, but little is said about the journey out, and a lot is said about the journey back (Ascension). This puzzled me for a while until I discovered another example of "The Emerald Tablet" ("As Above/As Below") that Zeb likes to quote so often.

Viewing the journey out can be seen through the reverse or opposite of the journey back. One is a physical mirror of the other. So, when we read about ascension and merging in the latter third of this article--think of “descending” and “branching out” as how you got here.

Wow! Now you're here, "What's happening?"

Reincarnation -- "Cycles within Cycles"

Before reincarnation was explained we took it for granted that such is a reality. Did this influence our channelings? I don't think so because throughout the ZZ Messages, reincarnation is a "given." In the very second message I received this: "Our soul's mind and memory is not limited to this time, nor place. It includes all our soul's experiences and memories." (2.7)

While this statement can be read in several different ways: 1) We are all related to our fellow man and woman, and that our experiences, memories and charts (life plans) are all linked together in a mass reality; 2) Our experiences and memories from this incarnation, or; 3) this could be referring to different life experiences and memories of all our incarnational life experiences linked together in a series of charts or plans. We discovered that it’s true any way you read it.

We learn from the ZZ Messages and the article: Life Planning: Charting Life Experiences, within this series that each gender half of the Twin Soul’s life plan are linked together, and each Twin Soul has a Twin Soul Plan that guides both twin’s entire series of life experiences. You might call this the Composite Soul Plan. And these plans are linked to higher and higher plans on the Otherside (God's Plans). But guess what? Your personal plan and your free will is not governed by God's Plan or God's Will. We choose to participate in those plans before our soul is even created.

How? As we see in the next part, "Divine Thought" always precedes the merging ("Divine Sexuality") that produces life. All of this occurs within the three lower levels of creation and is a combination of both spiritual and physical merging.

Three Levels of Creation:

The 1st Dimension   Causal =  Divine Masculine Thought

Creation does not begin with the 3rd dimension physicality. It begins with the "Cause of the 1st Cause," Divine Thought. Since the intellect (thought) is masculine we have the beginning of creation starting with thought or desire. Isn't it the same way for physical creation? Of course it is. Thought brings about desire, desire brings about arousal, and you know what comes next. There is also a plan or chart for that life. No life is created in the Spirit World without a reason--a plan that is charted in detail. We all have a purpose for being.

The 2nd Dimension   Astral = Feminine Emotion--Divine Love

We've all heard the old expression, "Home is where the heart is."  The heart is often equated with love, and "Home" is where Love is. This second level serves as our "Home." This world is not our "Home," it is our "Home away from home." Within this level all the Soul Groups reside--the Mission Group Clusters, the Twin Soul Family Clusters and our Composite Soul. It is also a place we can visit through astral travel and have many delightful experiences, for the astral conforms to our desires and expectations like any accommodating lover. This is the "Dream World" of our dreams.

The 3rd Dimension  Physical = Thought + Love = Experience

The 3rd Dimension is here, there, and everywhere on This Side, the physical universes as opposed to the spiritual universe. Many still think that God will return from "out there" somewhere in the heavens, but God is within.  

Our soul is created when Divine Thought merges with the Divine Feminine in Love through "Sacred Sexuality" (or "Divine Sexuality") to produce our soul. Within the physical realm we have the same process which creates the physical body. Divine Thought and Divine Love expressed by the human elements of God through Divine Sexuality to produce the body. (See the article "Divine Sexuality: is more than sex")

When the soul merges with the body you have the joint product of both Spiritual Parents and Physical Parents. All of which is "Cycles within Cycles." ZZ explains the "Planes of Creation" in Message 15. “You have passed through these three levels of creation (Causal, Astral, and Physicality) many, many times with each reincarnation.” (15.7)

The nature of our reincarnation cycles can be best summed up by Zeb when he said: "Your essence did split into twin soul genders as you know them and some of you remain here with us. Many of you are in separate spheres and separate times, but they are all ‘you.’ They are all individual and each lives his or her own series of reincarnations, one following the other, to plan and experience, and to plan again until each of you gets his or her challenges met." (13.16)

We are also told that, "you experience the fullness of your chosen genders; throughout the entire series of life experiences and evolve to fullness by allowing the "seed" within you to grow." (13.7) 

The "seed" refers to our opposite gender, male or female aspect that we all have as illustrated by the dots in the Yin & Yang symbol.

While some may read this as a confirmation of a specific gender through all life experiences, we are informed by ZZ that while our "primary gender" does not change, we can, and often do, "cross-­gender incarnate" into the body of the opposite sex for the purpose of experience.

For those who have not yet read "Soul Development," we are assured that development is the "soul purpose" for incarnation. Zeb tells us, " There are no incomplete, imperfect souls. There are only souls who are within various stages of development. Many choose to go through the physical cycles within cycles to progress beyond." (36.50) "

This is not the only track  for development, it is the fast track. One that, as we all know, is fraught with difficulties unless we create life differently.

Zeb goes on to say, "I will repeat myself once again, for it is important to the development of your incarnational personalities, or selves, as you call them, your experiential aspects of your soul. They do not exist apart from you. They do not reincarnate beyond your self [ for they are reincarnations of yourself ]. Their life experience was to further your (whole) soul's development. You are that soul and they are you." (36.51)

Ascension = "From God you Came and to God you Return"

This is the Road Back.  But like reincarnation it too has many "cycles within cycles." You have a road back at the end of every physical life, when you pass from this life into the next. When the physical body dies—which it doesn't really do—it just returns to the elements from which it was created—the incarnated soul and spirit goes "Home" to rejoin the rest of itself—the Composite Soul—the whole of you.

This process may be repeated a hundred times, two hundred times, or more for those souls who choose physical incarnation as a means for soul development. Then comes the final ascension, when that Composite Soul and all its parts—all aspects of you and your Twin Soul—are reunited and all your earthly personalities, memories, identities begins the merging process.

The Road Home is from the Composite Soul, to Twin Soul Family, to Mission Group Cluster, to the Soul Group and to The All Thing—the One "Big God." This is frightening to some for they fear a loss of identity as Caryl did. Caryl reflects this concern in the message she channeled (ZZ Message #8) beginning with paragraph 15:

Caryl:> I am concerned about the concept of returning to God. This merging with God seems to align with the idea of Nirvana taught in Hinduism and the state of Absolute Nothingness taught in eastern religions. How can we hold our individuality and identity and merge with God? Are we not then devoured, swallowed up, obliterated by a Supreme Presence?

Zeb:> Not in the terms you are thinking. When one reaches that state--and that state is even far beyond my present level—your condition as an individual is markedly different. You at that point will think of yourself in different terms. What you are now in comparison will seem as non-existent. Going back to God--merging in that sense is a choice. Being "One with God" is different and is also a choice. So you are half right.

Mel's Thought: When I reread this text again for the preparation of this article, I thought of the communities we all live in. Are we "swallowed up" by them? Not really. You are a functioning individual member within that community. Merging I see as becoming a part of a larger "Community of God." We must always remember, we are not separate from God--we are God. When we leave this physical life, the soul and spirit returns "Home" to be with the rest of the community that we have always been a part of--the Composite Soul. Caryl continues....

C:> Then the "Big God" does exist?

Z:> In a sense, yes. This is confusing you because The One Thing and All That Is --the multiplicity of God seems to be a contradiction. It's not.

C:> So we can choose to merge with God -- The One Thing, but we don't have to?

Z:> You always have a choice.

C:> Will you merge with God?

Z:> You asked ... if I will choose Nirvana? The answer is yes.

C:> Why?

Z:> Because it is glorious. You are fearful at this moment of union with God as you once were of your own physical death. Now do you not look forward to your ascension?

C:> Yes, I do. I think I am growing a little weary of the physical experience. I enjoy what I do and my family, but there seems to be a growing connection--a yearning for the Otherside. However, I don't allow this yearning to deter me from the here and now.

Z:> You are a child just born who is worrying over which casket to be buried in. I tell you that going back to God, what some people call Nirvana, has been misunderstood. It is the same as dying, and is not dying in the physical sense but another birth into a greater reality? The entity Seth has told you that there is no end of the personality. That the creation process goes on without end, for if it did not, then God, the One Thing and All That Is would cease to exist. So there is the merging, Nirvana, if you choose. Something new happens--a new beginning--never non-existence. 

It is interesting how much information Caryl receives in her visitations. While there is much more said about "Ascension" in the ZZ Messages, this and the following ZZ Message #11 (also channeled by Caryl) from Zarna gives us the approach or attitude we should take when it comes to ascension.

“Let ascension be a natural outcome of daily life. Ascension whether through death or direct ascension is the apex of each incarnation. Direct ascension is possible, but never the goal. Each step in the physical human life is an opportunity to experience that form of creature hood in all its facets and dimensions. If the focus is on leaving it, then you have defeated your purpose for incarnation—which is to realize your potential as masters over your earthly condition and your human bodies, and to learn that you are creators through the energy of your thoughts and feelings.”

Yet, there still exists much confusion regarding ascension—especially direct physical ascension. How can the physical body enter the spiritual realm? Is this not a place of "energies" rather than "physicalities?"  Zeb answers that by telling us: "Our place and beyond is not a place of physicality. The physical body has no part here. It would be only a hindrance. You would shed it in a second once here, once you learned how it limits you." (35.20)

The concept of direct physical ascension was more easily accepted in ancient times when everyone thought, "The gods come from the sky," or "God is somewhere out there watching you." It was only natural to want to be there with God and to bypass the death experience.

But in more modern times we have returned to a very early concept that God is within you, not out there. So how can we have a direct physical ascension that bypasses death into something that is within rather than up there?"

Zeb assures us, "There is no upward movement. “Up” is relative. There is only expansion “outward” and contraction “inward” ... the Source of All Light lies at the “center,” not “up” or “out.” The All Soul is a globular sphere of energy, ever expanding outward as it internally rotates inward. At its source is the Source of All Light." (35.22)

Conclusion:

We must conclude therefore that in order for direct physical ascension to occur, bypassing death the body has to be energized in an instant for the transition to take place. This is not too far-fetched for we are all energy, made of atoms.

Ascension is a series of "cycles within cycles" where… "at each stage or progression of your soul when twins are in harmony with each other on This Side (the "Spirit World") they merge. It is only during the incarnational realm (the "Physical World") that you must come into your own awareness of your completion. You were born or created to develop. Your separation (from your twin) did not change that." (36.5)

Is that all there is about "Reincarnation and Ascension?" Not by a long shot. This has just been a "basic course." There will be more coming.  ZZ has promised an evolving awareness where they will add to our understanding as we are ready. 

A note from Zeb on the topic: "Have I baffled you enough? Consider this, this covers one of your many dimensionalities. Within your articles you want to clarify the basics. This is far too advanced. Save this for the books that will expand on the articles." (32.19)

There we have Zeb putting in a "plug" for future books that we haven't written. For the time being we are content with providing you with these articles. Share them with your friends, and tell them where you found them.

Peace & Love,
