Welcome Reincarnation and You
Reincarnation and You
"The body of B. Franklin, printer; like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out, and stript of its lettering and gilding, lies here, food for worms. But the work shall not be wholly lost; for it will, as he believed, appear once more, in a new and more perfect edition, orrected and amended by the author." Yes, dear Reader, these words were written by the great Benjamin Franklin when he was twenty years old. His genius brings us spiritual and visionary wisdom regarding so-called reincarnation.
Reincarnation is a universal concept that has been at the foundation of many civilizations since ancient times. The concept is life-changing as it expands our horizons along the continuum of life. Relationships are shaped differently under its light, for we reap what we sow, as the Master of all masters taught us. Each life forms connections and these, in turn, become a network. While some of them are sweet and kind, others are still rough diamonds to be worked out over time. We cannot postpone this work until retirement, which should be a natural continuation of a well-lived life in good spiritual and mental health. And our mental health is most certainly a byproduct of our decisions and actions in the present as well as in our remote past. Just as dead stars send their rays of light shining through space light-years away, we may carry over to future lives the vibrations and consequences of the choices we have made in our previous lives. A profound Spiritist tool to restore and keep our balance is found in the beautiful practice of God at Home meetings. They are easy to incorporate into our lives, and anyone - married and unmarried, man and woman, young and old - can, and actually should, hold them.
In this issue, we offer you a collection of articles breaking down these concepts and much other useful information to bring you peace and harmony during these current challenging and critical times.
May we be with God always!

The magazine also focuses on revisiting Allan Kardec's foundational works.
