REINCARNATION STRENGTHENS FAMILY TIES WHEREAS A, SINGLE LIFE WOULD DESTROY THEM,

Family ties are not destroyed through reincarnation as some would believe. On the, contrary, they become stronger and closer. The opposite principle would, on the other hand, certainly destroy them., In space, Spirit entities form groups or families bound together by affection, sympathy, towards each other, and by similar inclinations. Happy at being together, these Spirits seek each, other. Incarnate life separates them only for a while, so on returning to the spiritual world they, again reunite as friends who have just returned from a journey. Frequently they will even follow, each other into the incarnate form, coming here to be united in the same family or the same circle, of friends and acquaintances, in order to work together for their mutual progress. When some, members of the same spiritual family become incarnate and others not, they then continue their, contact by means of thought. Those who are free watch over those who are captive.

Those who are, more advanced do everything they can for the less advanced, so helping them to progress. After, each physical existence all have made some advancement, even if it is only a step along the path to, progress. As they become less bound by matter, their affections become more real and more, spiritually refined, due to the fact that they are not perturbed by selfish or violent passions. This, then allows them to live many lives in the flesh without suffering any loss of mutual esteem., It is understood, of course, that we refer to real affection, soul to soul, being the only love, which survives after the destruction of the body. So it follows that those of this world who join, together because of physical attraction, will have no motive to look for each other in the spirit, world. The only lasting relationships are those linked by spiritual affection, all carnal affections, being extinguished together with the cause that brought them about, in other words, the physical, body. Understand by this that the physical cause no longer exists in the world of Spirits, but the, soul exists eternally., With regard to those who join together exclusively out of interest, they clearly mean nothing, to each other. Death separates them both on Earth and in Heaven.,

 The union and affection which can exist between relatives is an indication of former, sympathies which have brought them together. This is why, when referring to someone whose, character, tastes, and inclinations hold no similarity to other members of the same family, it is, customary to say that they do not belong to that family. When saying this, the truth is expressed far, more profoundly than suspected. God permits that in certain families these Spirits, who are, uncongenial or strangers to each other, reincarnate with the dual purpose of serving as a test for, some members of that family, and as a means of progress for others. In this manner, due to contact, with good Spirits and the general care dispensed to them, the bad or wicked Spirits get better, little, by little Their characters grow milder, their habits become more refined and their aversions dissipated.

This is how the various fusions of different categories of Spirits are accomplished, as is done with
different races and peoples on the planet.

 The fear that some people may have with regard to the indefinite increase in relationships due to reincarnation is basically selfish; proving a lack of love sufficiently ample as to be able to embrace a large number of people. Does a father who has many children love them any less than he would if there was only one? The selfish people may be tranquil because there is no reason for such a fear. The fact that a person may have had ten incarnations does not mean that in the spirit world he will find ten fathers, ten mothers, ten wives and a prodigious number of children and relatives. There he will always encounter only those who had been the object of his affections, some of whom he would have been linked to here on Earth in various relationships, or perhaps even the same ones.
