Most definitely Eric_C

"Excerpt from the wikipedia article"

All humanity—indeed all life, everything in the universe—is spiritually interconnected, participating in the same energy. “God” is one name for this energy [10]. Spiritual beings (e.g. angels, ascended masters, elementals, ghosts, and/or space aliens) exist, and will guide us, if we open ourselves to their guidance. [11]

The human mind has deep levels and vast powers, which are capable even of overriding physical reality. “You create your own reality.” [12] Nevertheless, this is subject to certain spiritual laws, such as the principle of cause and effect (karma). The individual has a purpose here on earth, in the present surroundings, because there is a lesson to learn. The most important lesson is love. Death is not the end. There is only life in different forms. What some refer to as an afterlife does not punish us but teaches us, perhaps through the mechanisms of reincarnation or near-death experience.

I would like to believe some of those things. And I would like very much to think part of us goes on after we die. Some days I find it harder to believe than others.

Much of the New Age stuff reminds of what I read in Conversations With God. Seriously, New Age people should read it; it in no way has a Christian slant to it and is a very ineresting and enlightening look at the world and our own personal lives.

The concepts are beautiful, but I wish there was some scientific proof of any of It being true.

I've been doing research on it for quite awhile. I heard that christians were agenst it, but I would like to mix both christianity and New Age together. It kind of sounds far-fetched but I beleave it's worth a shoot.

From what I am aware, most modern physical theories suggest that all Matter/Energy exists in an infinite Time/Space continuum. In fact, some physicist argue that this has been proven. Many are simply unable to accept that which they themselves do not understand. Within an infinite Universe, anything that can happen, will happen, has already happened, and is happening right now. I surmise that it is a matter of tuning in to that which already exists. Resonance.
Some references = Heisenberg, Schroedinger, Quantum Mechanics, M-Theory. In regards to Quantum mechanics, it should be noted that anything that occurs on a microscopic level inevitabley effects the macroscopic level.

I don't classify myself as New Age, because most new age people I meet generally have no friggin idea what they're talking about.
I am very spiritual, though, but I like to keep my head a bit leveled at least.

I would like to learn how to meditate but It seems rather difficult to put myself in the right mood. :?

I suppose I'd classify in that category.

Here's my attempt to describe the concept of reincarnation:

As I see it, The All/God/whatthouwilt is the only active force in existence. As it extends it reshapes, and smaller reflections of the matrix it radiates (the Tree of Life* blueprint matrix) expands in different dimensions/proportions, depending on the circumstances of their specific environment, and as the only active force moves through them, they are animated, and, if they measure up to the correct alignment (the one the force itself was made to be used as: ToL), they come alive as individuals with different personalities, none of which have any individual life themselves, for only The All/God/whatthouwilt is life.
And so as we travel between incarnations, what happens is that, since the universe seems to be completely continuous and thusly chain reactions are the only possible courses of events, we grow into new shapes, perfecting ourselves until we are in alignment with the Source Code.

The work of Initiation** supports this attitude, because the work goes from Malkuth§ to Kether+ as though what Malkuth contains is a cruder form of what Yesod& does and so on, so that Kether holds all the information and an Adept¤ fits itself into one/none Sephira@ in the end, which of course is The All. Right?
It also goes well with the idea that only the Supernal Triad% survives "death", because what happens is simply that the present incarnation matrix has served its "soul purpose" and is now obsolete and thrown behind like a static qliphoth, so that a new task for the aspiring part of Divinity can begin, rebooted and ready. It's only logical to assume that it would be idiotic to throw away a part of the Divine Plan that has gotten this far - especially if we see it all as vibration with the intention of bringing about the Divine synchronicity/melody/resonance/crystallization, where the parts would do best to continue spinning continuously until they find the correct Key - so that's why I believe in re-incarnation.

The pattern that is this individual dissipates and is finally broken up, either due to external or internal circumstances (car crash or negative thinking/old age), but since - and this is why I mentioned continuity - things are continuous, the affinity the pattern of this lifetime has spawned will by sheer causality produce the next incarnation in an upgraded fashion. We are, as I see it, pending between individuality and Godhead (when we are dead we are inert and the only thing that moves us is the matrix of The All, not the analogous extension of individuality), so going from one life to the next means a stop at the Godhead office from where the entire universe and one's alignment in comparison to it can be seen, why the specific Godhead aspect thinks to itself "ah, that's where I should go next" and continues into another reality tunnel called life.
I see Godhead as a carrier wave that includes all frequencies in the universe, spinning on the entire register, and an individual is the focus on a specific one. The frequency's specificity is - since this matrix is eternal, continuous and goes full circle - not extinguished as such, but it's not being animated after the soul has moved on, because the soul is the alignment making animation possible.
So, God is the idea of the force that drives everything and motion, not matter, is all that is, but patterns will crystallize of motion alone, so patterns like souls (small aspects of the Godhead idea) or bodies and other structures will form and represent things. No matter, because they're only reflections of the One idea of motion itself, in which everything else can manifest; not of themselves, but only as ideas which ARE Godhead.

§ Concept relating to instincts of individuality, lowest tenth of the ten parts ToL
+ Same scale as Malkuth, but relates to what Jung called the super conscious
& Yesod is placed directly above Malkuth on the Tree
@ Sephira = Hebrew word for number. These are the names of the ten parts on the Tree (Malkuth, Yesod...)
