The Memory of Past Births by Charles Johnston
Pages - 65
By reading the title, The Memory of Past Births, you have already
taken the first step towards remembering, for you have sowed in your
mind the seed of an idea which will germinate and grow till at last it
blossoms into full knowledge. Of those who receive this thought of
endless life through many births, most accept it at once with a
conviction which runs ahead of evidence; many hold it tentatively with
gradually growing credence; none altogether reject or forget it. The
thought remains, the seed stirs and grows, and as rebirth is a true law
of life, every turn and incident of life gives it new force, till at last belief
ripens into certainty. That certainty of the larger life wherein the lives
and deaths of this our world are but as days and nights, lightens the
burden of death, dulls the edge of sorrow, takes away the terror of
separation. Immortality, the dearest hope in every human heart,
becomes once more credible and intelligible; nay more, demands and
compels our belief. We begin to catch the light of our immortal selves,
the gleam from beyond the heavens which shall illumine our hidden
past, and, still greater boon, bring clear vision of the path before us,
winding through the mists and shadows of the valley, till it rises at last
into the everlasting sunshine.
