APPLICATION
progressing to more satisfying dimensions, we frequently attempt to re-enact particular positive experiences of our youth - often with less and less success. At the end of our life we then may look back in frustration and with the unspoken question what this was all about. Yet though we certainly will have another opportunity (another life) to figure this out, this is missing the point.
The far more interesting question is - where do we go from there? What is our intention after we leave our physical body?
All the values and ideas we were unable to express in our current life will leave an unfulfilled longing at our time of death. This longing has the tendency to make us again choose circumstances that offer the potential of fulfill this craving.
Yet there is no guarantee that our next life will bring the desired satisfaction if we do not actively take the concrete steps necessary for fulfilling our aspirations NOW. Only sitting and waiting for something to happen will never produce the desired results - and NEVER in this case means an endless repetition of our present circumstances.
So why not face the challenges we carry within us now? If our next lifetime will confront us with similar circumstances as we currently experience, what makes us hope that we will take up the opportunity then, if we fail to take charge of manifesting our ideas now, - in the very present?
The idea that this is our very first incarnation and that any successive life in a bodily context is re-incarnation, is illusory and illogical. There has been a long chain of lives before this one and there might be an equally long chain ahead of us if we continue to avoid manifesting our inner ideals and values.
