“It takes as long as the time required for it to happen, for the destination is defined by the journey towards it.”
“But how is this possible when life is so short.” I ask.
“It is not possible in ‘one’ mortal lifetime.”
“Are you talking about reincarnation?”
“Yes” he says “For a soul cannot ‘evolve’ whilst it is contained within its mortal frame. It must return to a state of ‘pure energy’ for its vibration to change before once again entering into the cycle of, ‘mortality’, ‘experience’, and ‘evolution’, for without this, all of the souls in creation would stay at the most basic level of development without any possibility of evolution, without any possibility of moving closer to the creator.”
“Does this happen to all souls. Am ‘I’ reincarnated?”
“All souls are reborn in different forms until they are ready for the transcendence.”
“Will I at any point remember my past lives?”
“No experience or knowledge is lost. The nearer you get to god, the more you will ‘consciously’ remember.”
I stop momentarily to try to absorb this fundamental change to my picture of life and death, but here, in the presence of god, I know that my life will never be the same, he was right. Everything Lucifer is telling me does ‘as he says’, quite simply ‘ring true’.
