XX [From the text] Now Reincarnation is a truth that has swayed the minds of innumerable millions of our race, and has molded the thoughts of the vast majority for uncounted centuries. It dropped out of the European mind during the Dark Ages, and so ceased to influence our mental and moral development - very much, be it said in passing, to the injury of that development. For the last hundred years it has from time to time flashed through the minds of some of the greater Westerns, as a possible explanation of some of life's most puzzling problems: and during recent years, since its clear enunciation as an essential part of the Esoteric Teaching, it has been constantly debated, and is as constantly gaining ground, among the more thoughtful students of the mysteries of life and of evolution. There is, of course, no doubt that the great historical religions of the East included the teaching of Reincarnation as a fundamental tenet. In India, as in Egypt, Reincarnation was at the root of ethics. Among the Jews it was held commonly by the Pharisees, and the popular belief comes out in various phrases in the New Testament, as when John the Baptist is regarded as a reincarnation of Elijah or as when the disciples ask whether the man born blind is suffering for the sin of his parents or for some former sin of his own. The Zohar, again, speaks of souls as being subjected to transmigration. All souls are subject to revolution (metempsychosis, a'leen b'gilgoolah), but men do not know the ways of the Holy One; blessed be it! they are ignorant of the way they have been judged in all time, and before they came into this world and when they have quitted it. The Kether Malkuth evidently has the same idea as that conveyed by Josephus, when it says: If she (the soul) be pure, then shall she obtain favour and rejoice in the latter day; but if she hath been denied, then shall she wander for a time in pain and despair," So also, we find the doctrine taught by eminent Fathers of the Church, and Ruffinus states that belief in it was common among the primitive Fathers. Needless to say that the philosophic Gnostics and Neo-Platonists held it as an integral part of their doctrine. If we glance to the Western Hemisphere we meet Reincarnation as a firmly rooted belief among many of the tribes of North and South America. The Mayas, with their deeply interesting connection in language and symbolism with ancient Egypt, held the traditional doctrine, as has been shown by the investigations of Dr. and Mme. le Plongeon. To these, the name of many another tribe might be added, remnants of once famous nations, that in their decay have preserved the ancestral beliefs that once linked them with the mightiest peoples of the elder world. …

XX [From the Internet] THE EVOLUTION OF LIFE AND FORM by Annie Besant is a collection of lectures delivered in the late 19th century. The work provides a deep exploration of the concept of evolution, integrating ancient and modern scientific perspectives while also delving into philosophical and spiritual dimensions. The initial focus is on the intersection of ancient and modern science, and the author argues for a harmonious relationship between science and religion, emphasizing how both seek to understand the nature of existence and life. The opening of the work sets the stage by outlining the complexities inherent in the study of evolution. Besant introduces the audience to the idea of evolution as viewed from two angles: the evolving life and the developing forms. She reflects on the historical split between religion and science and how ancient perspectives saw them as intertwined pursuits. The first lecture seeks to bridge this divide, stating that ancient science emphasized understanding life from within, while modern science has concentrated on external forms, looking for unity amidst diversity. Besant concludes the opening portion by urging her audience to redefine their understanding of both science and spiritual teachings, arguing that true knowledge of the universe requires a recognition of the divine aspects within oneself and all that exists.…
