The Influence of Reincarnation on Society as a Whole

Awareness of reincarnation as a fact, being part of everyday life, we will see every person as having equal rights. Discrimination of any type or manner will be a thing of the past. Intentional dishonesty or victimization, even when following orders, will be seen to create personal karma. 

The Law of Karma becomes common knowledge when stating: 'What you consciously do to another you will one day experience yourself, either in this life or another.' The Law of Karma is always just. Every atrocity carries a karmic debt. The Law of Karma serves the learning process. 

When everyone knows that it is possible to have lived in any country or with any race, or members of a certain religion, or could do so at some time in the future, we develop a sense of belonging together. When this occurs there will be no more competitive thinking between the different states of this world, no more working against each other, but rather with each other. It will be a one-world community in which we will treat each other with respect, tolerance and understanding. 

In emergency situations we will be more willing to help each other, knowing that among the people of some distant part of this planet who are suffering starvation or some other major catastrophe, there may be among them some of our relatives and friends from a past life. If particular nations ignore the needs of others this will again create karma for them. Therefore we will be offering our help more readily to those in need. There will be a general increase in the involvement in the well-being of other nations and that of individual countries. 

Religious communities and world religions will integrate reincarnation into their belief systems in order to have a chance of survival when this knowledge becomes widely accepted. There is no such thing as a single life, only a cycle of single lives. With every lifetime, the soul evolves to greater perfection. Reincarnation is the most just religion, giving everyone the chance, when once again incarnated on earth, to make up for what he violated against: namely loving his fellow man. God is no longer the villain who allows crippled babies to be born or millions of people to starve to death or die in wars. 

Regression therapy will have a major, important role to play in the future. In social services for instance, drug addicts and alcoholics might be led back to the cause of their addiction in order to delete the programming that caused their addiction in the first place. Psychiatry will no longer be imaginable without regression therapy. Unnatural behaviour to the detriment of oneself or others may have past-life origins, which must be uncovered, treated and healed. The National Health Service will pay for training regression therapists and will happily take on board the cost of this therapy. This will save on other extremely high costs for existing therapies that are usually slow to work and sometimes even ineffective. Regression therapy by contrast will frequently prove successful in a very short space of time. 

In the field of psychology many old and cherished theories will need to be replaced with new ones, which grant much space for reincarnation. Universities will establish faculties of reincarnation psychology. 

The medical profession will have to do much rethinking. Through the discoveries made by Professor Stevenson we now know that birth deformities may not be genetic, nor caused by viruses, but in most cases can be traced back to previous lives, and in particular to past causes of death. Reincarnation will also play a large part in surgery. In many cases, before conducting an operation that is not entirely necessary, the doctor or surgeon will refer the patient to a regression therapist. Here will be decided, for example in the case of a vagotomy, whether or not a wound received in a previous life had already weakened the stomach area. If this is the case then it is advisable to treat it with regression therapy. Failing this, symptoms of some kind or other are likely to continue to manifest in that area. For example, if a person was killed in a previous life by a spear wound to the kidney area, he will often experience chronic pain in this region, even if doctors cannot find anything wrong with him. The co-operation between the medical profession and the regression therapists will become an obvious necessity. 

Once we know that we will almost definitely be reborn on this earth, keeping the planet clean and healthy will become an obvious thing to do. This will enable us to return to a healthy planet where we will be able to continue our spiritual journey. We will care more about our surroundings and will not allow the earth to become polluted. 

Philosophy will praise those great philosophers who have already been advocating this knowledge of reincarnation. The acceptance of reincarnation creates a whole new way of thinking, and will create new philosophical schools of thought and working models, which will rely less on abstract thinking. Instead they will catch up on, consolidate and integrate the 'empirical’ general data deducible from all the knowledge uncovered through regressions into past lives. The afterlife, or intermediate realm, will also be thoroughly investigated. This is where we exist as souls before being reincarnated on earth. Philosophy will pose the question: Who or what created this system of reincarnation and the afterlife, for what reason and why? Ontology will gain a completely new perspective as we endeavour to connect to our centre of being via personal trance experiences, journeying to our centre or possible initiations to get in touch with the basic truth of creation itself. 

The arts will gain tremendous momentum, since a new creative theme will be opened up to them in which public demand could become huge for anything related to the theme of reincarnation. Film, television, theatre and especially literature will no doubt adopt this theme. The representations of people and their motives for certain behaviour will be reflected against a background of their past lives in which the Law of Karma will play an important part. 

We will concern ourselves less with reputation, power or ownership, since we will know that it is more important to nurture the love inside ourselves. This is why we will be more inclined to collect inner riches instead of outer ones. We will treat life with more respect and will view being able to spend time on this earth as a valuable gift, the opportunity to learn more and more about love and God's laws. Reincarnation will contribute immensely towards making this world more beautiful and loving and one in which it is a blessing to be allowed to live, love and learn.
