are you a catholic? if you are a catholic, then please tell me what the vatican think of reincarnation.... thanks for the help.

@dcupid7 I am not a Catholic. Roman Catholicism may have once supported reincarnation in the early years, but has not since then.

Hi , Can you elaborate on why you left religion years ago? And do you believe in reincarnation? Are you Catholic? And if so I have always felt that Catholics and Muslims really just cause too much pain and war . If an individual goes out and hurts a boy or girl they should go to jail but if a priest does it , all is forgotten, hands washed. The crimes the Vatican allows is evil. It just doesn't feel godly to me but I am inspired to see a female priest, never in Europe.

I left the institutions that came out of Christianity years ago. I am not a Catholic, and I do believe in reincarnation. I agree with you that so many of the religious institutions have caused a lot of harm and suffering, and people who do so should be held accountable, whether they are priests or not.

In the material world, everything is polar, so we have good and less good, or bad. But in God there is only Light. In us, too, we don't have to do things that are harmful to us or others, in order to appreciate being kind. We don't have to steal and cheat, to appreciate honesty and integrity. It is a dangerous thought to hold that one has to do evil to know good. We don't. We can choose to stay in the Light.

If your conscience is alive in you, and you listen to it, it will tell you what is right. Unfortunately, too many people have pulled the plug on their conscience, and overridden it with their thinkiing that justifies taking and doing anything they please. And actually, we do not need to experience what is dark to know what is light. Your soul can recognize whta is of light, and your conscience confirm it. Otherwise you justify seeking out darkness and indulging in it for the sake of experience.

Break on through to the other side....

Notice, though, that this does not at all address the fundamental question

"What is the purpose of [the kind of] existence [which is suitable to give rise to this question about its purpose]"

for which after all there can in principle be no answer.

Instead she is giving her answer to the question "What is the purpose of _this_ particular life relative to the existence mentioned above, the purpose of which remains unquestioned".

I'm not a member of of the Center of Light and I have my reservations about elevating Mary to the level of Jesus' significance (though I respect and understand the need to honor the "sacred feminine). Having said that, this is yet another contribution from you, Mother Clare, that - to me - has a universal truth. And I feel that makes it particularly powerful and relevant as extremists in religion create so much divisiveness that we forget how different faiths deeply contribute to one another!

My last life I was someone who was very authoritative and take charge. I regarded weak people as more of a hindrance to me and did not value their life as much.

My current life I am born painfully shy. It is very hard but I don't view it as punishment. The only reason we do bad things is because we do not know any better. Now that I can appreciate seeing life through the eyes of someone weak and shy, I know better than to make the same mistakes again.
