Sha'ar HaGilgulim, or Gate of Reincarnations, is one of the most authoritative works on reincarnation. It is based directly on the teachings of the great Kabbalist, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, and contains countless principles about personal rectification vis-a-vis reincarnation. This course is a summary of many of those ideas in a language that is accessible even to a person with little Torah background.

A classic work when it comes to the topic of reincarnation is the Arizal's, "Sha'ar HaGilgulim," the "Gate of Reincarnations." Filled with fundamental ideas about personal rectification and the role reincarnation plays in the process, it is still quite inaccessible to many. This "short" book provides unique unprecedented access to many of those ideas, making personal rectification possible like never before.

5 lectures, Berlin and Stuttgart, January-March 1912 (CW 135) "Just as an age was once ready to receive the Copernican theory of the universe, so is our own age ready for the ideas of reincarnation and karma to be brought into the general consciousness of humanity." --Rudolf Steiner Steiner introduced the West to his detailed, scientific knowledge of reincarnation and karma. He gave concrete descriptions of the way individuals transform during the course of successive incarnations and specific examples of how karma works. Steiner also provides practical exercises that lead us to experience the reality of reincarnation. He believed that by experiencing the reality of successive earth lives, we can form a foundation for a spiritual understanding of the relationship between humankind and the cosmos. These talks contain some of Steiner's most important teachings on reincarnation and karma. His examples and exercises can lead us to direct knowledge of the laws of reincarnation and karma. Topics include: How to perceive directly the part of our being that passes through many lives on earth; How to develop a "feeling memory," which we need before we are able to experience reincarnation; Thought exercises for gaining knowledge of reincarnation and karma; Examples of how karma works between incarnations; How knowledge of reincarnation and karma affects our moral life. This volume is a translation from German of Wiederverk rperung und Karma und ihre Bedeutung f r die Kultur der Gegenwart.

This work attempts to present Rumi to the English-speaking world and to shed light on his life as seen from within the Islamic mystical tradition. The knowledge presented in this work comes from Sefik Can, a great expert of Rumi and who used to be the highest authority, Sertariq, of the Mevlevi Sufi order in Turkey until he passed away on January 24, 2005. Two aspects of this work make it unique. The first is that the book was originally authored by a man who is ninety five years old and who has dedicated his entire life to the teachings of Rumu. Such a Mevlevi's view of Rumi makes this work greatly valuable. The second important contribution to the book is the foreword, which was translated by from the original turkish, written by M. Fethullah Gulen, a prominent Muslim thinker and interfaith activist of Turkey.

"Do our souls return to earth time and time again? Do we come back with a different identity and different lessons to learn in each lifetime, as our spirit evolves toward its highest development and realization? This unique book explores the theory of reincarnation from the perspectives of science, religion, psychology, history, and logic, presenting the information in a balanced and respectful way that invites you to draw your own conclusions. Mystery of Reincarnation is divided into two sections. The first is designed to frame the debate and give you the fundamentals of the topic. It includes: the historical foundation of reincarnation in Western thought; evidence for and against reincarnation from scientific, moral, and religious perspectives; how past lives may affect our current hobbies, interests, and personality. The second section of the book is more esoteric, presenting theories on the process of rebirth and what the soul is attempting to achieve through multiple incarnations. It explores how the personality, the soul, and the nature of God fit into the reincarnation equation. Karma, old souls, and soul mates--even the possibility of simultaneous multiple incarnations--are considered. Finally, appendices sort through the facts and fiction surrounding the well-known past-life regression case of Bridey Murphy, look at the story of James the Submarine Man, and examine possible reincarnation references contained in the Bible and the Gnostic texts."--back cover.

The author presents a coherent theory and explanation of reincarnation with reasoning, available research and scriptural evidence. The author also describes certain fundamentals of life, the nature of soul, the role of desire and mind in our destiny, proof of reincarnation and the process and significance of reincarnation along with illustrative tales from scriptures. “As the embodied soul continually passes in this body from boyhood to youth and then to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death.”The bodily changes from birth to death can be seen but the movement of the soul into another body after death cannot be perceived. When the soul sheds the physical body at death, he is carried by the subtle body consisting of mind, intelligence and false ego into a new body which gradually develops and thus the person takes birth again. The person remains unchanged. The soul is an eternal individual person and the bodily changes do not pertain to him. Under no conditions or circumstances can the living being be annihilated or transformed.

Obafemi Origunwa, founder of the Orisa Lifestyle Academy and creator of the Orisa Lifestyle Agreements, articulates an in-depth, yet simple blueprint of the world's fastest growing spiritual movement. In his insightful study, Origunwa surveys a full range of traditional and modern African thought expressed through religion, sacred poetry, philosophy, mythology, psychology and business. He demonstrates that Yoruba sacred culture is far from being doomed to destruction or irrelevance at the hands of Islamic and Christian incursion. Instead, Orisa Lifestyle is evolving into a world wide cultural empire that is capable of actually using foreign tools to propogate its basic values. The Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle presents an invaluable insight into the foundations of the unique and vital tapestry of Yoruba indigenous knowledge systems practiced by over seventy million Africans all over the world.
