"here I am in human form, but it was not always quite so
earth is not the only planet I’ve been to, through past life regressions I definitely know"- Unseeking Seeker
Does the soul shapeshift?
Is reincarnation a myth or reality?
We cannot dismiss the possibility of the soul,
entering another body after death
or been resident in other planets or parts of the world,
as a bird, beast or a living form lower than humans.
The law of karma and the revolving wheel of life
point to such plausible probabilities.
Life, we conceive as a journey, long or short
starting with birth, passing through growth
and ending in inexorable death.
Though we do not know what waits
at the final bend, I like to imagine
after death, our soul emerges lustrous,
washed clean of all stain and dirt
and in matchless splendor shall shine.
Leaving the carcass of the body behind to rot,
it passes into an immortal state.
Then joins with the infinite being-
the omnipresent and the omniscient.
Just as the desert kisses the mirage in vain,
our search after peace and happiness
shall not bear fruit until our souls, merge with God-
the supreme power, eternal and indestructible!
I dream of a time when angels with torches
will light my path down glazed hall ways,
and lead me to a realm, resonant with the heavenly choir.
where matchless joys unfurl and grace shall never leave.
Among flickering candles, I will see God
on His Heavenly throne,
bolstered by cherubs and seraphs
where haloed saints and blessed spirits surround.
With extended hands He will say-
“Come my daughter, join the heavenly throng,
Partake of perpetual glory,
never more to droop in sadness
but to rejoice in eternal bliss”
