Reincarnating Quickly

 

Various abnormal processes/circumstances can occur when the time between earthly lives is short. I feel that the difficulties involved are not always considered or appreciated by many. For example, many will have the feeling of being “out of their time,” in that their normal accompanying souls (their “group”) are either not incarnated or scattered, and especially in the very real experience of feeling “not of this time” — that others experience on a very instinctual level (others experience one as foreign/alien/not someone they can synch with), and which leads to many misunderstandings and often to an overlooking of others that may have important things to offer one. Sergei Prokofieff’s discussion of Elizabeth Vreede in this context is very much to the point, as someone who incarnated out of her normal time-stream in order to work alongside Steiner. Now, we can imagine the possibility that many who were incarnated in Steiner’s time have reincarnated after a very short time between lives, and have found themselves in circumstances and situations that are less closely aligned with their soul purpose, or that have many more obstacles to overcome. Many more small details are left to chance, and these sometimes morph into sizable setbacks. Also, there is much karma from Steiner’s time and after his death that screams for redemption. We must try to meet each other in such a way that we can see through the outer veils into the true individuality that lives within.  We must see through the trappings of time into the eternal individual, and let this shine through.  We must strive to meet each other in the spirit, even as we meet each other in the flesh.

And, even in Steiner’s time, many were not ready for the esoteric work required to be an active spiritual scientist. We must seek to achieve as much as we can in this lifetime. And we must work together! We must engender a social creativity that arises out of the cultus of our mutual striving and living activity, out of our mutual work.  When we see each other truly, despite our current trappings and failings, then we can truly work for the good of all!
