A Much Larger God, Many Higher Selves and Reincarnating into the Past

On July 3, 1989 I recorded on a cassette tape [which I still have] a "reading" by Ron Williams, an Indian medicine man. He said "Be careful with material or cleaning solvents or something. I see a little flash fire and that can be avoided Doyle; it doesn't have to be; you can change that."

His prediction was correct. Three days later at 1150 Coast Village Road in Montevideo, Ca. the place I had been working, a fire was accidentally started by some workers using gasoline to clean the mastic left over after I removed all of the vinyl floor tiles. When they plugged in the floor sanding machine it created a spark and started a flash fire that burnt through a wall into the next shop.

So, if time is linear—if every day happens after the preceding one and before the next—as we all perceive them to be—then how could he have witnessed an event that hadn't happened yet? In order for him to see some astral video of the fire his spirit eyeballs would have had to jump forward in time — or maybe not.

We have heard that time is an illusion and I've always assumed that was due to eternity because time stretches forever, both in the past and in the future. They say that time's illusion exists in our physical reality and only in this reality because our time—all of our events in the third dimension—appear sequential as though they are in chronological order. But elsewhere there is no time at all.

These ideas of time and eternity don't seem to have much relevance to our everyday lives unless we seriously consider what some spiritual masters contend, that we can reincarnate into the past. If true, then our current lives take on whole new perspectives and suppositions.

Before we move on try to keep in mind that the Divine is supposed to be infinite. Eastern religions enjoy laughing at Judaeo Christians because even though they say that their god is fathomless, the characteristics that they attribute to “him” are all human-like and very limited. And even though Eastern philosophers’ have a much larger description of God and reality, it is still minuscule compared to the sempiternal. We all confin the absolute to limited ideas that are easier for us to comprehend. We may laugh at Christian's Sky Daddy but many of us will zone out when we hear ideas like infinite realities or countless selves as though we are listening to someone's boring dream. But try to view the following though an infinity lens.

Some masters say that we can reincarnate in to the past— that we can be born again back into the 1100s or even to 1100 BC. Maybe we could even reincarnate back into this life into this same body reliving our current self/personality over and over until we get it right. It could factually be Ground Hog Day ad nauseam. This current life could be the hundredth time that we have lived this same identity. Maybe we once lived a thousand years in our current future and this incarnation is in our own past. Maybe that is why some people seem so ahead of, or behind their time.

Some people believe that this entire world, (which we will name creation number 8 billion and five) some believe that everything that we know is set up for the sole purpose of teaching you (and nobody else) what you need to learn to evolve spiritually. In other words all the wars that are going on, and the businesses in Peru and your neighbor's cat, everything in this third dimensional galaxy is just a part of a reality designed (maybe not designed) but put here just for you. And once you have mastered those lessons you are shifted into an alternate reality or dimension (called creation number 8 billion and six) which presents new lessons for you to learn.

It really could be true; Stanford physicists estimate that the number of possible parallel dimensions could be as many as 10^10^10^7. That is a 1 followed by seven thousand zeros, which by way of comparison, the estimated of the number of atoms in the universe is one followed by eighty zeroes. There are only seven billion people on earth so that is a gazillion possible universes for each person to live in. But there could be many times that amount or even an infinite amount of alternate dimensions or realities that you could be shifted to or reincarnated into. If this all sounds a bit too far out or grandiose keep remembering that the divine is supposed to be infinite and that reality could be beyond our wildest imaginations.

Maybe when your lessons are learned this entire creation is deleted. Just as you can with one click of the mouse duplicate or erase a book that you spent a million hours writing, an infinite creator could make or delete duplicate worlds for you to grow in. Maybe it's absurd that a creator would delete a universe including 7 billion Earthlings just for your sake — or maybe not.

Let's say you briefly traveled back in time to see the sinking of the Titanic. You could try to save some of those people from drowning but they are already dead—even though you are present at that time. They all died a century ago so saving them wouldn't be as very imperative as a current event. In addition, what if all souls were made up of multiple selves, maybe trillions of selves, higher, lower, or republican? So if the creator deleted just one world of selves just for your benefit it might not be that absurd.

Timeless reincarnation could be a perfectly sensible reason why we are made to forget who we were in our previous lives. Think about how difficult and confusing this life can be for us—and even more so for psychics who try to make sense of the alternate realities that they glimpse into; and then suppose people could remember their past or future lives. Imagine trying to keep all of that sorted out.

In the New Age world there is a lot of talk about the higher self. The premise being that a person's spirit has multiple aspects to it. While a part of you is reading this text another part of you could be in heaven somewhere doing God knows what. When parents or loved ones have asked spiritualists if their children suffered much when they were murdered, sometimes the answers have been, "No, because their spirits left their bodies just before the attack." Similarly, masters have said that a new born spirit can inhabit a fetus within a few weeks after conception but that the spirit will travel back and forth from the spirit realm and to the womb for a few months. Masters have also said that some bedridden patients need to be comatose because they have to all of their being focused in the spirit realms for some reasons known only to God, their higher selves, or Mae West. So, not only could there be gazillions of dimensions and timelines, we may all have as billions of other selves cruising the creation. God is infinite right?

Whenever I think about reincarnation I am reminded of the author Carol Bowman whose child died and then her next child was born with the same characteristics and distinct birthmarks of her first. Her research found many more cases like her own. If we do reincarnate, it makes some sense that we could be born into our same family line. We may have been our own ancestors; through family karma we reap the rewards or debts of our past labors, weaknesses, or dysfunctions. They say it isn't fair that some people are born in to rich families; (Paris Hilton comes to mind) but maybe it is. Maybe people enjoy the wealth that they worked for in a past life, while others suffer for generations of laziness, ignorance, or even bad luck.

Many Hindus believe that a soul incarnates googols of times. There's that 10^10^10^7 number again. They say that if you count the amount of flights it would take for a bird to completely wear down a mountain by flying over it while dragging a silk scarf, that is how many times a soul reincarnates. Maybe it's true; many Buddhists believe that people can reincarnate into plants and animals.

Arctic clams and Greenland Sharks can live to be over 400-years old. Some arctic sponges live to be over 1,550 years old. Can you imagine reincarnating as a sponge and sitting at the bottom of a dark frigid ocean for 1,550 years with nothing to do but eat, sleep, and curse the reincarnation director? Buddhists believe that we have millions of life times and most of them we are not human. There are creosote bushes in the Mojave Desert that are over 11,700 years old. How about reincarnating as one of them? That is a lot of time to think — or maybe not.

Another belief about time is that there is no past or future—so that everything that is, has, and will be, is all happening right now all at once. Every one of our lifetimes from every century, on every dimension is being played out simultaneously. Any changes that we make, any growth or setbacks that we experience could overlap, and so impact us on some or all levels. Maybe we can't incarnate into the past or future because they don't exist; there is only the now...period.

The idea that only the present exists has been compared to a storybook. You can read from the front to the back but you can also open it to the middle or end of a character's narrative. The entire story is all there at the same time and space and can be opened to any point in a character's life whenever you wish.

Contemplating illusionary time can have an impact on seekers; many feel compelled by some inner hourglass that constantly reminds us that we are running out of sand. We are convinced that we need to evolve so we will be ready when the end comes—whatever that end may be. We are impelled to learn and grow; to strive for some spiritual progress in this life. But if time doesn't exist—if we could incarnate into the past or a trillion more times, or if an entire lifetime of spiritual growth is so incremental that it barely registers on the evolve-a-meter scale, then has all of our angst been for not? Has it all simply been the self-created trepidation of yet another get-ahead fool for God? Or, could we be making significant changes in a million different dimensions and timelines simultaneously? Who knows, in some cases, we may now be our highest selves.
