Reincarnation, Karma, and Christ's Universal Redemption
Does the repetition of earthly lives have any value or meaning? One must only be clear about what reincarnation and karma actually are. This law is closely linked to the entire process of human development on earth. Let us look back to ancient Greece: how different conditions were then, and how thoroughly the whole external way of life has changed in these two millennia! In general, the face of the earth, the entire culture, is completely changed each time a person undergoes their next reincarnation. A new incarnation always occurs for a person when they have something new to accomplish on earth. In twelve times 2160 years, the sun completes a full cycle around the entire zodiac. The ancient peoples still knew the connection that exists between human life and this passage of the sun through the twelve constellations. In ancient times, the image of the twins was worshipped in Persia; this was followed by a period in which the bull was worshipped. This worship found its historical expression in the cults of Mithras and Apis. Then came the time when the lamb, the ram, was worshipped. Each of these images corresponds to a period of 2160 years. On average, two incarnations are calculated to fall within this period of 2160 years; one of them is female, the other male.
