[i] “…Vedic Hymns…”

The Vedas are very exhaustive scriptures. Each veda contains several sections and thousands of hymns. Some of the Vedic hymns, especially the hymns of the Rig veda, are considered to be at least 6000-8000 years old. The Vedas are believed to be revealed scriptures, because they are considered to be divine in origin. Since they were not written by any human beings but were only heard in deep meditative states, they are commonly referred a “those that were heard”.

Here is one of the most famous hymns from the Rig Vega: :The Hymn of Creation”

“A time is envisioned when the world was not, only a watery chaos (the dark, “indistinguishable sea”) and a warm cosmic breath, which could give an impetus of life. Notice how thought gives rise to desire (when something is thought of it can then be desired) and desire links non-being to being (we desire what is not but then try to bring it about that it is). Yet the whole process is shrouded in mystery.

Where do the gods fit in this creation scheme?

The non-existent was not; the existent was not at that time. The atmosphere was not nor the heavens which are beyond. What was concealed? Where? In whose protection? Was it water? An unfathomable abyss?

There was neither death nor immortality then. There was not distinction of day or night. That alone breathed windless by its own power. Other than that there was not anything else.

Darkness was hidden by darkness in the beginning. All this was an indistinguishable sea. That which becomes, that which was enveloped by the void, that alone was born through the power of heat.

Upon that desire arose in the beginning. This was the first discharge of thought. Sages discovered this link of the existent to the nonexistent, having searched in the heart with wisdom.

Their line [of vision] was extended across; what was below, what was above? There were impregnators, there were powers: inherent power below, impulses above.

Who knows truly? Who here will declare whence it arose, whence this creation? The gods are subsequent to the creation of this. Who, then, knows whence it has come into being?

Whence this creation has come into being; whether it was made or not; he in the highest heaven is its surveyor. Surely he knows, or perhaps he knows not.”

[ii] “… the Aryan people…”

“The Vedic term arya - in its earliest attestations has a meaning of “stranger”, but “stranger” in the sense of “potential guest”. The Sanskrit lexicon defines Arya as mahākula kulīnārya “being of a noble family” , sabhya “having gentle or refined behavior and demeanor” , sajjana “being well-born and respectable” , and sādhava “being virtuous, honourable, or righteous” . Arya, is a title of honor and respect given to certain people for noble behavior.

The Aryan race was a term used in the early 20th century by European racial theorists who believed strongly in the division of humanity into biologically distinct races with differing characteristics. Such writers believed that the Proto-Indo-Europeans constituted a specific race that had expanded across parts of Europe, Iran and small parts of northern India. This usage tends to merge the Sanskrit meaning of “noble” or “elevated” with the idea of distinctive behavioral and ancestral ethnicity marked by language distribution.

Nazism portrayed their interpretation of an “Aryan race” as the only race capable of, or with an interest in, creating and maintaining culture and civilizations, while other races are merely capable of conversion, or destruction of culture. These arguments derived from late nineteenth century racial hierarchies. Some Nazis were also influenced by Madame Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine (1888) where she postulates “Aryans” as the fifth of her “Root Races”, dating them to about a million years ago, tracing them to Atlantis,

Because of historical racist use of Aryan, and especially use of Aryan race in connection with the propaganda of Nazism, the word is sometimes avoided in the West as being tainted, in the same manner as the swastika symbol . Currently, India and Iran are the only countries to use the word Aryan in a demographic denomination.”

[iii] “… the Vedic Hymns…”

“The term veda means “knowledge, (sacred) lore” embraces a body of writings the origin of which is ascribed to divine revelation (shruti, literally “hearing”), and which forms the foundation of the Brahmanical system of religious belief. This sacred canon is divided into three or (according to a later scheme) four co-ordinate collections, likewise called Veda :

(I) the Rig-veda, or lore of praise (or hymns ); (2) the Samaveda, or lore of tunes (or chants); (3) the Yajurveda, or lore of prayer (or sacrificial formulas); and (4) the Atharvaveda, or lore of the Atharvans. Each of these four Vedas consists primarily of a collection (samihita) of sacred, mostly poetical, texts of a devotional nature, called mantra. This entire body of texts (and particularly the first three collections) is also frequently referred to as the trayi vidya, or threefold wisdom, of hymns (rik), tune or chant (saman), and prayer (yajus), the fourth Veda, if at all included, being in that case classed together with the Rik.”

[v] “…past lives.”

A “past lives” scenario automatically infers a “future life” in the context of an amnesia and prison planet operation. This implies the phenomenon of reincarnation:

“ Reincarnation literally “to be made flesh again”, is a doctrine or metaphysical belief that some essential part of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death to be reborn in a new body. This essential part is often referred to as the spirit or soul, the “higher” or “true” self, “divine spark”, or “I”. According to such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the self remains constant throughout the successive lives.

Reinkarnaatiouskoon on ikivanha ilmiö. Tämä oppi on keskeisellä sijalla sisällä suurin osa Intian uskonnollisten traditioiden, kuten hindulaisuus (kuten jooga, Vaishnavism ja Shaivism), Jainisti ja Sikhiläisyys. Hanketta on viihdyttää jotkut antiikin kreikkalaiset filosofit. Monet nykyajan pakanat Myös uskovat jälleensyntymiseen kuten eräissä New Age liikkeet, sekä seuraajat Spiritismi, harjoittajien tietyt Afrikkalainen perinteitä, ja opiskelijat esoteerisen filosofian kuten Kabbalan Sufilaisuus ja gnostilaiset ja esoteerinen kristinusko. Buddhalainen käsite Rebirth vaikka usein nimitystä jälleensyntymisestä eroaa merkittävästi hindu-pohjainen perinteitä ja New Age liikkeet, ettei ole "itse" (tai ikuinen sielu) ja uudestaan ​​syntynyt.

Viime vuosikymmeninä merkittävä vähemmistö ihmiset lännessä ovat kehittäneet reinkarnaatiouskoon. Merkittäviä poikkeuksia ovat Henry Fordin ja General George Patton.

Henry Ford oli vakuuttunut, että hän oli elänyt ennen, viimeksi sotilas kuoli taistelussa Gettysburg. Lainaus San Francisco Examiner vuodesta 26 elokuu 1928 kuvattu Fordin uskomuksia:

"Minä hyväksytty teoria jälleensyntymisen kun oli kahdenkymmenen kuusi. Uskonto tarjosi mitään kohtaan. Edes työtä ei anna minulle täysin tyytyväinen. Työ on turhia, jos emme pysty hyödyntämään kokemusta keräämme yhden elämän seuraavassa. Kun huomasin jälleensyntyminen oli kuin olisin löytänyt yleinen suunnitelma tajusin, että oli mahdollisuus työstää ajatuksiani. Aika ei enää ollut rajoitettua. En ollut enää orja käsiin kellon. Genius on kokemusta. Jotkut näyttävät ajattelevan, että se on lahja tai lahjakkuutta, mutta se on hedelmä pitkä kokemus monta ihmishenkeä. Jotkut ovat vanhempia sieluja kuin toiset, ja niin he tietävät enemmän. The discovery of Reincarnation put my mind at ease. If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so that it puts men's minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others the calmness that the long view of life gives to us.”

General George S. Patton was a staunch believer in reincarnation and, along with many other members of his family, often claimed to have seen vivid, lifelike visions of his ancestors. In particular, Patton believed he was a reincarnation of Carthaginian General Hannibal.

The most detailed collections of personal reports in favor of reincarnation have been published by Professor Ian Stevenson, from the University of Virginia, in books such as Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation.

Stevenson spent over 40 years devoted to the study of children who have apparently spoken about a past life. In each case, Professor Stevenson methodically documented the child's statements. Then he identified the deceased person the child allegedly identified with, and verified the facts of the deceased person's life that matched the child's memory. He also matched birthmarks and birth defects to wounds and scars on the deceased, verified by medical records such as autopsy photographs.

In a fairly typical case, a boy in Beirut spoke of being a 25-year-old mechanic, thrown to his death from a speeding car on a beach road. According to multiple witnesses, the boy provided the name of the driver, the exact location of the crash, the names of the mechanic's sisters and parents and cousins, and the people he went hunting with — all of which turned out to match the life of a man who had died several years before the boy was born, and who had no apparent connection to the boy's family.

Stevenson believed that his strict methods ruled out all possible “normal” explanations for the child's memories. However, it should be noted that a significant majority of Professor Stevenson's reported cases of reincarnation originate in Eastern societies, where dominant religions often permit the concept of reincarnation. Following this type of criticism, Stevenson published a book on European cases suggestive of reincarnation.”
