The Logos Center Tenet 7

We are spiritual beings and therefore there is the continuity of individual consciousness before and beyond our present life. This is the concept of reincarnation which we actively promote. Souls incarnate in human bodies only, never in other animals. We affirm that we ourselves have had previous lives which are profoundly affecting our present lives. We can talk about these experiences for bettering ourselves, our understanding and our relationships. Reincarnation implies the law of karma, which means, "like begets like." We do not believe God to be a moralist or a dogmatist. God is not retributive or punishing. However, as co-creators with God, We have free will and we meet the lawful consequences of our choices. Reincarnation also implies that there is a vast, unexplored region within ourselves for which we must assume responsibility. The Universes operate in lawful ways. We are trying to discover these laws, to discover how to want to put ourselves in accord with them, and how to develop the qualities of character to enable us to manifest the fullness of our love and understanding.
