For your consideration, from The Magic of Space, Chapter Two, “Phenomena of Space,” a comment on how energy continually re-embodies itself in different forms across space and time, and why we usually don’t remember our past lives.
Re-embodiment is a fact in nature, with the indestructibility of matter and force re-embodying themselves for the purpose of evolution. The law of re-embodiment manifests on all planes, and upon all worlds or planets. The fact that we do not see the operation of a law is no proof that the law has ceased to act.
Nor is the fact that this law manifests differently in different kingdoms of nature, and in different forms, evidence of the limitation or non-existence of the law. Every law manifests in each class or form alike, but differs in its manifestations in different classes of forms because the consciousness within the form restricts but does not prevent the manifestation. For example, the law of gravity manifests the same in all iron, but manifests differently in different kingdoms and substances.
Individualized consciousness not only re-embodies itself constantly during earth life, but it re-embodies itself after it drops its entire physical body. In other words, it reincarnates. During the space of every seven years, man undergoes a complete change of body; therefore he is in the process of re-embodying himself by this constant renewal of his atoms. According to his rates of vibration, or as his thoughts are elevated or debased, does he draw new atoms to himself. And, after he has dropped one physical body, it is certainly not surprising that he should have the power to draw to himself another. The fact that most men do not remember their past lives is no proof that they did not formerly exist. If it were, the majority of men did not exist between the first and third years of their present lives, nor in a pre-natal condition. Man does remember his past lives when his subjective mind controls his objective mind, and can function through it, for in the subjective is stored the memories of past experience. What we call “conscience” is only the memory of past experiences, warning us not to repeat former follies and mistakes.
And a small piece from another part of the same chapter:
Ever since the Sons of God separated from their God-Flames and incarnated on earth, each half has been earnestly seeking a reunion with the other part of itself. Subconsciously, each one holds a mental picture of his past happiness when, in the realm of innocence and purity, he was free from the ills and troubles of his present state of existence. And each one longs for a return to the old blissful condition – for happiness is really what every human soul desires more than anything else in the world; and it is happiness for which every one is striving.
