The new birth and the conditioning of karma (IF8)

Philosophical teaching 8
Recently some of you wanted to know if previous incarnations affect the last incarnation and possibly what traces they leave on the last life of an individual, how they can affect him and so on.
Each of you may have happened to feel a particular attraction for some country, to feel almost the physical need to go to visit certain places, or to feel internally a repulsion for certain places or for certain periods of the past. These are often signs that those places or times were the scene of an incarnation of that individual in the course of his evolution, incarnation lived happily or unhappily.
It happens that when the last incarnation has points of contact, as a character, with those lives spent in other places and other eras, it is easy for passages of emotions, sensations, memories coming from that life of the past to occur.
This means that past lives lay the foundations for what life is now, and lay them so complexly that it is very difficult to tell each of you which life is currently affecting what you live. All this somehow involves, remember, what is generally referred to as the law of karma, or the famous law of cause and effect, according to which an action performed in a past life can lead to a reaction in the next life.
Through these reactions, both small and large (do not think, in fact, that karma is only made up of big diseases, of big influences), it can be said that every day you live, every moment you live, was born from the effect of everything. what you have undergone or done, positively or negatively, rightly or wrongly, in your past experiences.
Of course now I am referring only to human lives, but to make you understand that the thing is much more complex, I remind you that not only your previous human lives have brought into being what you are now, but also all the other incarnations experienced as animals, as plants, even as minerals. Because you have to consider all your incarnations, all the incarnations of an individual, not as each a sé standing, but like a chain which binds many links to each other and which cannot be broken, otherwise the chain would no longer have meaning.

If you observe a child in his first months of life, not to say even in his first years of life, you can see that this little being needs to go through certain experiences in order to learn not to make certain mistakes anymore. In fact, the child, usually (and I would say always) in his first months of life, has a tendency - for example - to fall.
If you observed how many times during his first year a child falls, you would be frightened at the thought of how many times he has been close to dying, how many times parents have been unnecessarily frightened or worried about these falls; but in reality it is always very difficult for anything serious to happen, except in extreme cases. These falls might seem like mistakes, behavior errors due to the child's inexperience, errors of attention due to the ineptitude of inattentive parents, but in reality they have a very specific function, that is to make the child learn who is not yet master of his body, of the sense of balance, of distances, of proportions, so that later - when his perceptive and reactive abilities have developed more - he no longer makes that kind of mistakes and passes on to other experiences.
The example of the child is very significant to explain and to give an idea a little closer to the reality of the evolutionary path that an individual makes in the course of various incarnations.
The path of an individuality, the path of a soul - as it is often said - involves a kind of evolution from an infantile stage to a more mature stage, and the passages from a stage of "feeling" and of evolution always larger ones, very similar to the path taken by a person from the moment he is born to the moment he dies.
That is, there is the need to carry out certain experiences in order to take the measures of existence, take the measures of one's feeling, refine one's tools, and obtain a greater evolution. Hence, in order to learn - for example - not to kill, it is always necessary, and I always say, to go through with murder, because only after having had an experience of that type in the first person (and very often after having received it from others, always in the first person) one eventually comes to understand that that type of action, that type of experience, must no longer be performed.
It may be striking that we are talking about homicide, but this is actually valid for any other aspect of the individual's evolution, from the greatest one, such as homicide, to the simplest one, such as that of taking away a pen left unattended in a post office, an act that seems insignificant: after all, even common morality is certainly not ready to stigmatize such behavior!
But, on the other hand, also remember that common morality is not the morality of the spirit, and that the individual who observes his actions upon his death is always a very severe judge and observes not only serious, very serious actions. , which did, but also small ones.
And this because, in reality, in order to proceed it is not enough to overcome serious actions, but one must, little by little, overcome all one's perceptions, refine all one's aspects of feeling, until one arrives at a more complete feeling, a feel that - I repeat - it is not only the understanding of the big mistakes made, but also of those many small mistakes which, many times, are more difficult to solve than the big mistakes, because they easily escape attention and it is easier to ignore them, trying to forget about it.

Being born simply means finding yourself back in the physical world to continue your spiritual journey. The birth in the world of matter means, therefore, to resume something that had been interrupted, to resume something unfinished; not unfinished due to ill will, but only and simply to have the necessary time to meditate and rethink everything that had been done up to that moment.
Thus, if an individual sees his life interrupted in a culminating moment, in an important moment for his existence, he does not regret that sudden death (at least such, apparently, it may seem) since what he left, will soon be resumed, continued, completed.
The true meaning of birth therefore lies in this possibility of continuing one's experiences, of being able to reach, gradually, slowly (on the other hand, to understand a concept, a reality, it is always necessary to proceed with a certain calm, a certain caution) to understanding of Reality, of that Reality which, once understood and assimilated, will no longer require the individual to put on new material and return to the world of men.
Birth and all the consequences that it entails is once again the sign of the continuous presence of that Love that follows us always and everywhere. fabius

What happens when the entity in the Akasic plane has to incarnate? It happens that his consciousness falls totally into a stupor; figuratively - and in such a way that the similitude can be useful in the following - it could be said that the entity wraps itself up closing itself as in a shell, and in this shell it falls asleep waiting, then, to awaken in a new body.
How does the descent into the new body happen?
Returning to our analogy, the entity begins to sink towards the lower planes, and as it sinks into these planes it crosses the various subplanes of each plane and, with each subplane it crosses, it gathers around itself a certain quantity of matter of that under the plane, covering itself with shells and shells of matter and, of course, the matter it collects is not collected at random.
Arrived on the physical plane, this shell begins to get in touch - to tighten the connections, if we can say so - with that first small part of his body which is gradually enlarging.
In fact, it cannot be affirmed that from the beginning the entity is completely present and identified with the body it will use, but this contact will gradually become closer, not only during the first nine months of existence (because, indeed , those are almost a thing in itself) but from the moment of birth onwards, because it is from that moment that all the various bodies will begin to have increasingly complex contacts with the physical body until finally arriving at the moment in which the individual with all his physical, astral, mental possibilities, will be substantially complete and will therefore have the possibility of understanding everything he wants to understand about himself and the existence he will lead.
In other words, he will begin to make his sufferings, his joys, his researches, his sorrows, his loneliness, his relationships really useful, and will therefore begin to truly draw from his life what he needs most, namely the experience and knowledge of himself. Scifo
