Summary

The website content explores the existential question of why souls choose to reincarnate, emphasizing the unique human experiences that souls miss, such as sensory pleasures and deep emotional connections.

Abstract

The article "Why Should I Come Back?" delves into the philosophical inquiry of reincarnation through a combination of poetry and prose, suggesting that souls return to Earth to experience the full spectrum of human emotions and sensations that are inaccessible in the spiritual realm. The author, Marcus (Gregory Maidman), integrates a rondeau and a Shakespearan sonnet to articulate the soul's yearning for the physical world, including the ability to smell, see, taste, and feel. Supported by insights from channeled sessions with Rama and writings by Jodie Helm, the piece argues that the soul's desire to incarnate is driven by the pursuit of growth, learning, and the intense experiences uniquely available through human form. The essay portion further elaborates on the concept that souls choose to reincarnate for the profound emotional and physical connections that can only be achieved in the human experience, such as making love and experiencing orgasmic delight.

Opinions

  • The author believes that the soul's decision to return to Earth is not solely for spiritual growth or to get closer to a higher power but also for the richness of human experiences.
  • Marcus suggests that the pain and difficulty of human life are balanced by the depth and intensity of experiences such as love, pleasure, and emotional connection.
  • The article posits that souls have a choice to remain in a spiritual realm or to reincarnate to achieve a higher level of existence through the "master class" of Earthly life.
  • It is proposed that the soul's journey involves cycles rather than levels, with each cycle offering opportunities for learning important lessons.
  • The author emphasizes the idea that human experiences, like making love and feeling orgasmic delight, are exclusive to the physical realm and cannot be replicated by souls in their disembodied state.
  • Marcus shares a personal perspective that the explanations for reincarnation provided by spiritual sources like Rama and Jodie Helm only offer a partial understanding of the soul's motivation to incarnate.
  • The piece reflects on the concept that souls travel in communities, often incarnating together to support each other's growth and to face the challenges of life on Earth.

Why Should I Come Back?

Two poems and a short essay together answering that souls miss being human

This piece starts with a rondeau. The title of a rondeau forms part of the poem. The title serves as a non-rhyming refrain in the approximate octet end-rhyming scheme of AABBA AABR AABBAR and I like how it allows me to use the title/refrain to ask a question, which I decided to answer seamlessly with a Shakespearan sonnet (fourteen, ten-syllable lines (a purist would say iambic pentameter but I prefer and Ravyne Hawke says it’s okay to count syllables rather than beats) in four stanzas with the end-rhyming scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG).

Why Should I Come Back?

To this miserable place called Earth Where too many see suffering and dearth because they believe happiness is their God-given righteousness Understandably missing the worth

Religion has become curses Used to fill fake prophets’ purses Answer me now with honestness Why should I come back?

I don’t ask this question with mirth The answer has both depth and girth So please expand your consciousness Answer goes beyond Godly oneness As that view is just an ocean’s firth Why should I come back?

Rondeau’s question sonnet gives quintessence Sitara and Rama have ChannSpired me Answer found in our animal essence Souls only possess mere telepathy

Cannot smell aroma of your perfume Or see eyes shine upon love at first sight Or taste pleasure in all that we consume Or feel skins’ heat of orgasmic delight

See the colors of Kim’s double rainbow Feel dogs’ loving kiss all over my face See the stars twinkle from Heaven below Gaze on Gaia’s beauty blue dot in space

But all these words don’t describe magic prize Leaving me breathless when I’m in your thighs

Companion Essay

I write somewhat frequently about reincarnation. After all, so far my soul has incarnated 17,043 times. Greg and others often wonder why and will we come back? What is the point? I know we will whether I make sense of it or not, but Greg does like things to make sense.

Jodie Helm writes in one of her recent archangel channelings (I Never Want to Come Back!, Is Reincarnation a Requirement?):

Reincarnation is one of those topics that is hard to grasp as human beings. For many of us who have experienced hardship and loss, the idea of coming back to Earth and suffering through life all over again is not only unappealing, but daunting. Yet we do, time and time again. Why? To learn important lessons that bring us closer to full communion with God, Spirit, Source, or whoever or whatever you relate to if you believe in a higher power.

I have received a very similar explanation from Rama in our sessions that Ane has channeled:

I asked: How many levels are there in heaven?

A: It is not so much levels, but rather, cycles. As one starts their journey from soul to soul with a body [and back again, and so on and so on], you generally have easy lives. When you return to source/heaven/god after every lifetime, you will be given a choice to stay in that realm that you are put in or to go back to the master class [Earth]to attain a higher level. You can make the decision to return to the master class at any time. If you choose to go back to Earth, it would be for the specific requirement to have the goal of growing your soul to get to the next level, only you are not consciously aware of it once you incarnate.

Once you enter and complete a few lifetimes you will start to feel comfortable knowing where you want to ascend and with whom. That is where your community of spirits comes into play. We always come in with the same people/souls, lifetime after lifetime. There are about 80 to 120 of us together at any given lifetime. It is around this time where you the soul and collectively the community of spirits start to decide what level they want to attain and what price it will cost them on earth. [No pain, no gain]. Now you can understand that not everyone wants to attain nirvana as you say.

Quite some time ago I decided that these explanations for why a soul would agree to endure ever more difficult and painful human experiences did not get to the heart of the matter. Being rewarded for the pain by achieving a higher and higher vibrational frequency and thus residing ever closer to God only feels like a portion of the puzzle to me. I can feel God’s presence on Earth. Also, I know for a fact that after completion of life review Sitara got to take a walk in a garden with God. So, what else compels a soul to incarnate into ever more painful human experiences?

What can humans do that souls cannot?

Cannot smell aroma of your perfume Or see eyes shine upon love at first sight Or taste pleasure in all that we consume Or feel skins’ heat of orgasmic delight

See the colors of Kim’s double rainbow Feel dogs’ loving kiss all over my face See the stars twinkle from Heaven below Gaze on Gaia’s beauty blue dot in space

But all these words don’t describe magic prize Leaving me breathless when I’m in your thighs

While souls do make love

Making love between souls, or with a soul, does not involve sex; it simply cannot; a soul does not have a body. So what is it you ask? Love-making between souls, and therefore also in a human-soul relationship, is simply deep, deep emotional connection and the sharing thereof

they cannot have the combined ecstatic experience of making love and sex.

It’s simple — for all the beautiful emotional connection soul-partners have in the most intense expression of Platonic love, [souls] cannot passionately lock lips while our hips are locked by insertion joining intense rhythmic orgasmic love-making.

I can’t cup her cheek and look into and through her eyes at her beautiful soul…

“Sex is a mode of expression of love…love is not understood as a mere side-effect of sex; rather, sex is a way of expressing the experience of that ultimate togetherness which is called love.” — Viktor Frankl

The GG stanza of my sonnet pays homage to this song by the Violent Femmes:

I initially intended to submit this piece to Diana C., jules, Ravyne Hawke, and Spyder at my spiritual home group, Know Thyself, Heal Thyself, but as it rounded into form in my mind, I decided that this screamed out loud for Kim, with whom I have not published enough — just one prior piece.

In Rama I create, with soul-energy surging through my body, inspiring me and breathing wind into my sails,

Marcus (Gregory Maidman)
