THE POWER OF KARMA and reincarnation act hand in hand towards the purification and exaltation of the ego, the “I” that is each one of us. In the end, whether we find ourselves able to accept reincarnation as a proven fact or not is of minor importance compared to our comprehension of the supreme truth-that outweighs all other considerations. THE SOUL Is IMMORTAL.
After the famous journalist and pioneer of spiritualism, W. T. Stead, had been drowned in the disaster to the Titanic in 1912, he communicated constantly with his daughter, Estelle Stead. These communications were afterwards published in the book, “The Blue Island”. In this work Mr. Stead states definitely that in the life after death the choice is eventually offered to those who have progressed to a certain stage to return to earth again. In the state or sphere where this occurs, a complete record of the past is exhibited to the spirit's view. If it should happen that this record does not enable the spirit to qualify for choice in the matter, he or she will be directed either to return to earth, or to remain for a further period of sojourn in the spirit spheres.
The period necessary to reach this sphere from which spirits return to earth is, as a rule, much longer than the period of mortal life.
