Reincarnation and belief

When you hear talk of reincarnation in our society, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is that the idea is not consistent with the beliefs of our culture or religion, and therefore tend to dismiss as a valid option. However, much of the world's population holds the belief that we are a spirit, which to evolve and improve, passes through various stocks (as they change clothes), to achieve a state of enlightenment or Purity no longer need to re-incarnate in the earth.
Perhaps you think that the biggest difference between Eastern and Western view is that the former believe that the soul inhabits one body only once, and the latter considered the possibility that a soul passes through several physical bodies until back to the source. Probably the number of bodies that uses a soul to reach 'heaven' is not as important as what is the vision of what this' heaven '.

How to Continue as Eastern and Western traditions, the existence of the soul after finishing an earthly existence?

According to the traditional Western view, is the 'heaven' as a place to be after death, mentally andalusia 'beyond' is located in space.
According to the Eastern view, is the illumination of the soul as a state of consciousness as an abstract concept. The process of enlightenment can be viewed as a change within the various levels of consciousness, regardless of where it is carried out and as something possible to be achieved within the earthly life (not necessarily having died).
To better understand the concept of "flat", we do not have to imagine such a climb to a higher level than as a ladder when climbing (not 'down' or 'above', in one place or another).
More consistent with the idea, would be viewing the plane as a change in the vibration, an increase or decrease the vibrations that make us' resonate 'in different ways, at different frequencies, even without changing location.
Consider also that several musical vibrations can occupy the same space at the same time, despite it being able to differentiate themselves from each other and be heard simultaneously, or only some of them, according to its intensity or its level of vibration, and sensitivity to be heard.
We can imagine how different the various levels of radio waves, which live around us while at the same time, in general we can only capture a radio or tuner at a time.

Can be considered among the world purely physical and the spiritual world there is a set of drawings to which the old authors called the 'astral world. According Y. Ramacharaka between the two extremes, the physical world and the spiritual world, it can be seen almost infinite number of events and stages of existence. In the world of the lower astral sub manifest the so-called psychic clairvoyance, clariaudiencia, telepathy, psychometry, etc.. Are also apparent in these sub-lower forms of ectoplasm, and other apparitions of souls disincarnated often perceive that the man and some animals. Also act and move in these sub-humans living in the physical world that emerged from his physical body temporarily during sleep or meditation.
In other sub-manifest psychic phenomena, ways of thinking, waves and clouds mentally influencing the minds and spirits of those who have the same psychological pattern.

Just as in Western religions were implemented the ideas of 'hell' as opposed to the 'sky', and also in the astral world of the East there is the idea that there are sub disincarnated below where the souls on earth who had inclinations suffer a negative process according to their works.
The difference is that the lower level of hell or astral world is not eternal, but the soul can be purified disincarnated and take the opportunity it holds to evolve and improve.

The meaning of life:
In general we could match the Westerners in search of the greatest possible happiness as a goal in our lives. Among the Orientals, happiness is rather seen as a result, as a consequence, not as an end in itself. The achievement of the wisdom, the light, to achieve higher understanding, love and unity with other living beings, perhaps the goals where one is heading east-minded person.
Suffering is also seen in different terms: in some cases as a punishment or as a test for Westerners.
To the East, the suffering is a path, a bridge to greater understanding, something that makes us evolve and mature as human beings rise, the suffering and difficult process, but it cleans the soul, as if we were to be carved , processed, refined by him, to take increasingly sharp and beautiful. In some traditions is the same eyes with andalusia andalusia suffering joy, as experiences from which we have to take off, do not identify with them. This does not mean not to have or not have feelings, only that we must not confuse ourselves with that sentiment, we are not the sentiment, but the feeling is an experience which we live.
Why re-incarnate in another body?
It is thought that the universal law of Karma gives us the opportunity to work on our negative thoughts and actions. But again our work not only for negativity, but the idea of return is closer to the theme of discovering the truth about who we really are. Even our positive acts can be generated from a false sense of identity. In fact, it is thought that all our actions are the result of perception and projection, possibly our introspection can help us see if these actions are rooted in our true being or identity of the ego.
One wonders if we have to keep coming back to earth until they 'get it right'. (E internally we have the hope that this is not true ... it does not work like that ...)
But why not want this to be true? What if this' back 'really make a difference ... If instead of 'one chance' and then come out ready to 'beyond' the limited understanding that we could have provided this unique experience, without being able to experience all of eternity in all its glory ... If we understood that we would have a chance to revert back to test, understand more, getting wiser, more pure, to be better vehicles of unconditional love, until we reached the light of consciousness ... Is it not worthwhile 'return'?

The free will:
One of the questions most frequently makes the human being is if there is a 'destination' if we are 'predestined' somehow, and that freedom of choice we could have if they did. We will not dwell on this, because it is a very comprehensive and with many religious and philosophical interpretations. Copy them down a strange vision of life that we find in a mailing list ...

Life:
Life is like a video game.
Predestination is found in the different characters that you play on luck, and the different levels on which we must cross.
The free will is how we play the game, strategies that we use as we behave in different circumstances we play. Each time you restart the game or change of level (or agree to live and breathe a new day) and get new chances ... strategies to help us' win 'or advance in the game ... Instead of saving the princess. .. we will find peace and serenity of our own divinity and universal.

Reincarnation in Christianity:

Reincarnation was an idea foreign to the early Christians, but we can say that historically orthodox Christianity has never been among their beliefs, at least officially or significant, the belief in it.
While in the early years of Christianity accepted currents of thought, the idea of reincarnation (Gnostics) and the preexistence of souls (Origins), the second Council of Constantinople (553) states that some of these ideas were 'anathemas' (heresy). Does not explicitly refer to reincarnation, but if they say one of the anathemas against Origen: 'If someone asserts the fabulous pre-existence of souls and the monstrous restoration (apokatástasis) is anatematizado'
Vicente Merlo said: 'With the condemnation of Origen are stigmatized as heresy the preexistence of the soul and thus, indirectly, everything associated with reincarnation, so that any possible discussion on the subject was removed from roots. Since then the dispute was closed. "


The Reincarnation in the life of each:

Beyond the different religious traditions and the Western and Eastern thought, can be seen in person the probability of this theory. Suffice it to consider the various mystical experiences, meditation, regression, observation of the environment, our personalities, dreams, déjà-vu, the behavior of our own children ... It's in every one of us to consider reincarnation as a possibility within the different conceptions of the reality of our existence.

Personally I believe incarnation is the more correct term as reincarnation has been associated with one coming back with the exact same personality one had in a previous incarnation which may not be totally false,if we incarnate into a body that lets say has the same genetic characteristics of a former body,from the same family then it may be possible that the new body one incarnates into could have the personality traits of a previous incarnation ,but not necassarily.

I've read a book called "The ultimate frontier" from the author "Eklal Kushiana" and it talks about the purpose of incarnation in more than one body is the fact that we are here to learn all there is to know all there is to know on this physical world and that cannot be do that in a thousand lifetimes much less only one lifetime.
