Is reincarnation punishment for failing our life's mission for God?
BACKWARDS reader Ralph from the UK asks three related questions about reincarnation (below in bold typeface).
While in the afterlife (after my 1994 death), I received huge downloads of information about humans, our true nature and origin, and Source/God. That's where I got the answers to Ralph's questions. In short: humans are manifested characters in a manifested physical universe that exists solely within Source's own mind. Humans are animals with their own innate character traits and individual personalities. We are not humans. Although we seem to ourselves to be beings--and beings separate from Source at that--we are actually discrete parts of God's/Source's own consciousness/identity. I call these pieces of Source consciousness "Beings of Light" because that's what we look like to near-death experiencers. We are Light Being parts of Source who choose to occupy human bodies as "souls."
One of the most unique aspects of my afterlife experience is that I had the firsthand opportunity not only to receive "knowings" about life, death, and the afterlife, but also to experience the afterlife from three different perspectives: human, Light Being, and the Collective Being Source itself. I have to move back and forth among these perspectives to answer Ralph's questions.
Ralph writes: "[I]t concerns the view some people have that we are here to perform a particular exercise for Source as part of our mission . . . and if we failed to execute the mission we were sent here for, presumably by Source, that we would have to come back and re-do it again. . . . Is there any validity to this, from your perspective?"
First, the idea that we are here because we have a mission or task to perform to Source's expectations, usually in order to get into heaven, arises from animal fear of death. Humans instinctively know they will die. Unawakened Light Being "souls" inside humans have the hope that if only they knew exactly what to do, and how to do it, then they could earn their way into heaven. Because they are unawakened, these souls do not remember that going back to the "heaven" level of awareness is automatic for us Light Being souls. We do not have to earn it.
Second, the concept of punishment for failure is likewise human. Humans fear retribution from Source because they experience it from each other in the animalistic competitive cultures they have created. Unawakened souls inside humans project human nature onto Source in the honest belief it creates an accurate picture of the creator. But it does not. Source does not judge or engage in retribution.
Third, the assumption that reincarnation is punishment for failure at a spiritual goal is grounded in human physical and emotional pain. Returning to human life can seem like punishment to someone who has lived with pain. But Source does not consider reincarnation to be punishment. Nor do we --when we are in Light Being form.
According to information Source itself gave me while I was merged into it, our (Light Beings) only purpose in life is to experience the physical matter universe so that Source can know experientially what it already knows intellectually. As parts of Source, we enter into physical matter environments and beings to have the opportunity to feel sensations and emotions (including pain) that Source cannot experience in its innate form. I was also told that WE choose the subject, theme, or emotion we wish to experience. We preview what a chosen life is likely to be like, before entering into a fetus, in order to determine whether that human life will provide the opportunities to experience what we seek. We then live physical lives over and over and over again, each time experiencing a different perspective on our chosen subject, theme, or emotion until we have accumulated a 360 degree experiential understanding of it. So, when we reincarnate, it is because WE have chosen to do so in order to garner yet another perspective on our chosen topic. We are not sent by Source as punishment for failure or anything else.
"I also find it difficult to understand if we all have these 'missions to perform' but eventually all merge back into Source, how does Source keep tabs on which strand has been successful in it's Earth Trip and which has not. Are you able to shed any light on this?"
Source showed me that our only mission while in human bodies is to experience human life, whatever that life brings our way. There is no possibility that we can fail at it. Most of us perform no specific mission for Source. So Source has no need to either keep tabs on us or judge whether we have been successful. Just having human experiences is success! For the few of us who have chosen to have specific experiences (such as during a near-death experience we chose to come back in order to raise our children), we may have panels or councils of Light Beings who are in the afterlife who help guide us and keep us on track. However, I have personal experience that if we fail at the mission we chose, we are given a choice to either stay here and try again or go home with no stigma of failure at all being attached.
"There is a commonly held belief by many metaphysical authors that anyone who commits suicide will have to come back and repeat the journey. This then brings into question, what exactly is considered to be suicide in the upper firmament. A person in intense pain, suffering terminal illness might head to Switzerland and engage in euthanasia. Is this then classified as a suicidal act from a non human perspective?"
Humans have various judgments about suicide because they are judgmental by nature. The idea that suicide is a failure, and reincarnation the punishment for it, is judgmental. The metaphysical authors you reference are thus unknowingly presenting a human viewpoint, not that of Source. Source is not even a tiny bit judgmental.
The understanding I was given in the afterlife is that suicide is not judged--at all. If someone chooses suicide as the means of exiting the human manifestation, that is fine from a spiritual perspective. Our overriding innate emotion as parts of Source is unconditional love. It can be an unconditionally loving act to release a suffering human animal from its pain via suicide or euthanasia. As a culture, we accept this loving sacrifice for our beloved pets but not for our own human animal host bodies. That is because most decisions about how human life will proceed is made by the animals themselves, not us souls within. And humans' overriding innate drive is survival at all costs. Light Being souls have no survival instinct and can accept suicide without judgment.
Thank you so much for allowing me to share with you what I learned in the Light.

Source's Compassion vs. Control
Several readers pointed out to me that my June BACKWARDS Glimpse answers did not show that Source has much compassion for those who have been raped, abused, or murdered. Source DOES feel overwhelming compassion, and deep love and gratitude, for all those parts of itself that suffer while engaged in this physical manifestation. I know because I personally experienced Source's emotions while merged into it during my afterlife experience. My purpose in the newsletter, however, was to explain how Source can find the painful aspects of human life interesting because, for Source, none of what happens in the physical universe is real. That is not, however, Source's only reaction to our experiences. Because we ARE Source it suffers as we do. Source's own emotions are intimately entwined with ours because we are ONE collective being.
Despite its compassion, Source does not CONTROL what its Light Beings manifest in this earthly environment. As aspects of Source's own personality, we Light Beings have exactly the same character traits and innate powers that Source the Collective Being does. Source cannot change its own nature. Thus it cannot change the fact that its parts have the ability to manifest physical reality, including what happens on Earth. We have free will to use that ability because Source has free will to act. Source does not step in and take control over our manifestations. Though Source could exercise Collective Being self-control, which is what would be required to control us, doing so would defeat its creative purpose to experience all that can possibly be experienced in a physical universe. Moreover, Source knows we have free will to stop the horrible things we do while encased in human bodies if we so choose.
First, we Light Beings collectively, with and through Source, have the power to design what happens in the earth manifestation. But we resist awakening to our true nature and power as parts of Source. We can collectively change human nature because humans are manifestations. We need only agree on the spiritual level to do so. I recall seeing that major changes in mankind have traditionally been accomplished via Light Being-initiated changes to human DNA or major downloads of Universal Knowledge, both of which appear as evolution. We can evolve mankind faster if we awaken more of those of us in the body to our true spiritual nature.
Second, we have the power to take control over our individual human animal hosts' behavior so that their violence, greed, territoriality and revenge do not craft our daily lives. We Light Being souls seem to be the ones who lack compassion for each other. We are the ones who refuse to take responsibility for how our bodies act. We individually refuse to train them and guide them so that their behavior is less violent and more loving. Humans are animals that can be trained just like you train your dog to refrain from certain behaviors. More importantly, each of us can exercise our own free will to act more from our spiritual nature. It requires being present in the moment and consciously choosing a different behavior. While human emotions may be instantaneous, their behaviors in response to those emotions need not be.
Third, we can put forth the effort to heal our own eternal personalities, which have been influenced by the traumas of numerous human lifetimes. We can also heal our hosts' traumas accumulated throughout this lifetime. We have the power to self-heal as part of our manifesting ability. Healing old wounds will prevent them from motivating present behavior.
If we truly want a world free of rape, abuse and murder, the power to change it is within each of us. Thank you so much for allowing me to share with you what I learned in the Light.

separation perception
July 30, 2009
The uniqueness of my 1994 beyond death experience, I believe, is that I remember each phase of the metamorphosis from "human" perception to "Light Being" perspective to Source's perspective. I find that most of the questions readers ask me relate to what I have written about Source's perspective on our existence, such as . . .
BACKWARDS reader Elaine's questions:
"If it's true that we don't have separate identities, that our identity was created by source for source's desire to have experiences, why then do we need a life review where we take stock of our behavior on earth and determine if we met the goals we set for ourselves pre-birth? In other words, the life-review concept suggests the idea of separate identities for each soul."
From human perspective, we seem to be separate individuals. When I resumed Light Being form after dying I continued to perceive myself as an individual. It was only later, while merging into Source, that I was able to see life from Source's perspective. I then realized I am not separate from Source and never have been. Each perspective is real. Each is valid. Each disappears as the new one replaces it. Source created us as aspects of its own personality in order to experience "separateness" and all the richness having multiple personalities offers. For only through personanalities conceptually separate from, and different than Source, could Source experience thoughts, emotions, behavior and life from a perspective other than its innate nature. The same is true for us. We can imagine what it would be like to be someone else or act differently through dreams, daydreams, watching movies, reading books, etc., all of which can employ characters or personality traits different from our own innate nature.
Source cares deeply about its diverse personalities because we are all part of Source. It is similar to our own desire to understand and heal our "inner child" and integrate that part of us into our adult personality. The fact that our "inner child" is not really a separate being does not make us any less interested in resolution of trauma suffered at that stage in our lives. The same is true for Source. It wants to heal itself of the traumas earth life induced. The life review helps do that.
Source is keenly aware of how emotionally traumatic the transition can be from believing one is a human being to knowing one is a Being of Light, and from believing one is an individual Light Being to knowing there is only one being in our universe and we have never been separate from it. So the transition process has been lovingly designed to ease us into each new perspective on life as we awaken from the human illusion.
From the human perspective (and we still think like humans at this stage), the life review can feel judgmental. Either the soul feels it is being judged by others or it is judging itself on how well it performed in human life. From the spiritual vantage point, the life review presents the first growth step in transitioning into the Light Being perspective. It allows the soul to witness its just passed human life with the unconditional love perspective that comes from being bathed in Source's love and Light. From Source's perspective, the life review offers healing via the opportunity to place into context all that the soul experienced on earth, viewing it more globally. It's a chance to answer the question "what did it all mean," to find closure and new direction. It's Source loving itself through an honest self-evaluation of what its personality fragment experienced and how that integrates with all that exists within. So, bottom line, yes, the life review concept does relate to our belief that we are separate identities from Source. It exists because Source loves all of its personalities so much that it wants us to understand and integrate the physical experience. "And I think the reason your assertion about merging into source would bother people is because if we're all part of source and not individuals as we think we are, then our loved ones who have passed away aren't really 'with us' in spirit as we might have hoped." Au contraire, Elaine. It is the whole idea that we are separate individuals that makes us think we are apart from our deceased loved ones. From Source's perspective our loved ones are always with us. Everyone is everywhere all the time--because we are all personalities of one being. While we are merged with Source our loved ones are a mere "thought" away. We are not separated from them; we merge into them. It doesn't get more intimate than that. It is human perspective that creates the illusion of separation from our deceased loved ones. "Dead" means "gone" to human animals.
So it is not merging into Source that separates us from our deceased loved ones; it is being locked into human perspective that does it. Psychics, mediums and others who have experienced after-death communications have been able to do so because they can break out of that human mindset and accept the fact that everyone is everywhere all the time within Source. All one has to do is "tune in" to those who have left human life in order to experience them here and now.

April 2009 Q&A
One of the BACKWARDS readers, Debi, has asked several very thoughtful questions about the nature of Source and how it can allow evil in our world. Chapter 4 of BACKWARDS Guidebook answers this question directly. I recommend you read that material in addition to the following:
"If the source is all goodness and love and he is the one creating our reality as we see it, isn't he actually manifesting and creating evil thoughts?"
From the human perspective, it would appear that Source is manifesting and creating evil thoughts. That is because human animals have innate character traits that produce very limited and biased perspectives. Humans are extremely judgmental by nature and assign the judgment "evil" relatively randomly. Note that we do not call a tiger mauling its prey "evil." Nor do we label our pets "evil" when they chew up our furniture or kill rats in the garage. Violent and irresponsibile behavior is expected of beings humans label "animals." But humans do not see themselves as animals or their "evil" behavior as the animal behavior it actually is.
Humans also project blame for what happens to them upon someone else. By nature, human animals accept no responsibility for their actions (just like cats and dogs take no responsibility for peeing on our carpets.) Humans have no ability to manifest reality. So events do "happen to" them.
WE, however, are Light Being Souls living within human animal bodies. WE are not humans. We can view human life from the Light Being perspective: there is no good or evil, only experiences consistent with a being's innate character. Source and its Light Being personalities are not judgmental.
More importantly, Light Being Souls DO have the ability to manifest physical reality. WE are responsible in large part for what happens to humans. Most of us do not accept responsiblity for our manifestations because we are unaware that we even have this ability. We cannot change what we manifest until we choose to manifest consciously from unconditional love rather than unconsiously from our human hosts' nature.
"And if this is all the source's creation by thinking and dreaming, then what control do we have, aren't we then just puppets on a string?"
First, although everything in the universe, including all thought, resides exclusively within Source's mind, that mind has been fragmented, divided, channeled or directed into zillions of different and unique personalities. WE Light Beings are some of those personalities.
Second, each of us, as part of Source, has the very same ability to manifest physical reality. We co-create with Source what humans perceive as reality. That is the control we have. We collectively have creative power over what is manifested in the physical world.
"How can this god of only pure love and goodness conjure up such evil thoughts?"
We Light Beings serving as Souls to human animals are actually the aspects of Source responsible for what humans call "evil." We allow our animal hosts to act in hurtful and violent ways because we do not realize that we can prevent it. Worse yet, we have become so acclimated to human nature through reincarnation that we allow our hosts to use our innate creativity and intelligence to conjure up new forms of violence. We can tame our animal hosts only when we come to believe we are separate beings from them. We can retrain our bodies to act more benevolently only if we become aware of our own true nature and relationship to Source, and then choose to act from our spiritual nature.
"It would be my understanding that if the God, that knows no evil, has no darkness and is only pure light and love, then his thought can only be pure and loving and this world would not consist of any evil whatsoever. Do you see what I'm saying?"
Yes, I see what you are saying. Some of it, however, is not an accurate representation of Source's nature. Source is not a one-dimensional character as depicted in many spiritual or religious belief systems. Its zillions of unique personality divisions fill Source with every imaginable experience. Source is truly the most multi-dimensional entity possible.Therefore, Source knows what humans call "evil" by and through those of us who are living within the human animal manifestation. "Darkness" exits in Source by virtue of the fact that much of the universe has such dim Light that it appears dark to us. Source does not judge these or other thoughts AT ALL. It does not label some thoughts "pure and loving" and others "evil." All thoughts are equally interesting and valuable to our Source.

Question and Answers 2009
Hello!
BACKWARDS reader Larry has posed the question that epitomizes the human perspective:
"What motivation is there to suppress our emotion and be nice?"
From the perspective of the human animals we inhabit? None. Animals act instinctively, without regard for others' feelings and in complete ignorance of the consequences of their actions. For an animal to "be nice," it must be trained. You train a pet not to use your home's floors as a bathroom, or to chew household furnishings, or to wake you up at night to go out. You train your pet to respond to your commands. Reward or punishment is used to "motivate" the animal to adapt to the training.
Human animals must be trained the same way. Parents potty-train their children, teach them to share, how to play "nice," and to eat with spoons and forks. They train their offspring to behave in society--not to throw temper tantrums, hit brothers and sisters, or demand to be the constant center of attention. These lessons are not necessary because of young age, but because a human child is a wild animal. Reward and punishment must be used to train children because they are not naturally motivated to be nice.
Like other animals, humans have the capacity to learn the cause and effect relationship between actions and consequences of their behavior. They can choose to "be nice" in accordance with their training in order to avoid unwanted consequences. Thus, the motivation is often to obtain reward or avoid unwanted consequences rather than any intrinsic desire to be nice.
Fortunately, WE are not humans. WE are spiritual beings who merely inhabit humans in order to experience what their life is like. We Beings of Light are innately "nice" because of our origin within and connection to Source. We are unconditionally loving by nature, and our actions reflect that when we are in our pure spiritual state.
When we inhabit humans as souls we have a choice. We may sit back and allow our host to live a purely animal life, without interference or guidance from us. Or, we can take control and train our hosts to act primarily as we wish, to live a life more congruent with our spiritual values. "Knowings" I received during my beyond death experience informed me that we can access our innate spiritual character and powers even while enmeshed in the physical world. That allows us to "be nice" to each other despite the human emotions broiling just below the surface. Most of us follow a middle course. We alternate between allowing our host bodies to dictate our behavior and taking care (we call it exercising self-control) not to allow raw emotion to motivate our actions.

BACKWARDS reader Larry has posed the question that epitomizes the human perspective:
"What motivation is there to suppress our emotion and be nice?"
From the perspective of the human animals we inhabit? None. Animals act instinctively, without regard for others' feelings and in complete ignorance of the consequences of their actions. For an animal to "be nice," it must be trained. You train a pet not to use your home's floors as a bathroom, or to chew household furnishings, or to wake you up at night to go out. You train your pet to respond to your commands. Reward or punishment is used to "motivate" the animal to adapt to the training.
Human animals must be trained the same way. Parents potty-train their children, teach them to share, how to play "nice," and to eat with spoons and forks. They train their offspring to behave in society--not to throw temper tantrums, hit brothers and sisters, or demand to be the constant center of attention. These lessons are not necessary because of young age, but because a human child is a wild animal. Reward and punishment must be used to train children because they are not naturally motivated to be nice.
Like other animals, humans have the capacity to learn the cause and effect relationship between actions and consequences of their behavior. They can choose to "be nice" in accordance with their training in order to avoid unwanted consequences. Thus, the motivation is often to obtain reward or avoid unwanted consequences rather than any intrinsic desire to be nice.
Fortunately, WE are not humans. WE are spiritual beings who merely inhabit humans in order to experience what their life is like. We Beings of Light are innately "nice" because of our origin within and connection to Source. We are unconditionally loving by nature, and our actions reflect that when we are in our pure spiritual state.
When we inhabit humans as souls we have a choice. We may sit back and allow our host to live a purely animal life, without interference or guidance from us. Or, we can take control and train our hosts to act primarily as we wish, to live a life more congruent with our spiritual values. "Knowings" I received during my beyond death experience informed me that we can access our innate spiritual character and powers even while enmeshed in the physical world. That allows us to "be nice" to each other despite the human emotions broiling just below the surface. Most of us follow a middle course.
