Reincarnation (Who Were You)

You may be reincarnated.

Who were you?  Were you a man or a woman in a past life?  Does karma predetermine your destiny?  Will you be rewarded or punished by this life’s actions?

Reincarnation is in the Bible.


Jesus is Tempted by Satan, Luke 4, verses 1-8, New King James Version.

1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit [a]into the wilderness, being [b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, [c]but by every word of God.’ 

[d]Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

And Jesus answered and said to him, [e]“Get thee behind Me, Satan! [f]For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ 


In verse 5, Satan offers Jesus power over the world, not at one time, but for all time.  How would this be possible in just one lifetime?


Matthew 16, verses 13-16

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”


The disciples show their belief in reincarnation.  While Jesus is not reincarnated, he does not refute their belief in reincarnation.

Have you ever met someone before and it was as if you already knew them?  Do you have a special talent that no one taught you, but you knew?  Are you able to learn languages quickly, faster than other people?  In your dreams, do you visit places you have never been before as somebody else?   Your best allies and worst enemies may play roles in your current life.

Elvis Death

The last photo of Elvis Presley taken at the gates of Graceland.

August 16, 1977.  The first person to see Elvis Presley dead was his fiancée Ginger Alden.  It had been six hours since she had last checked on him.  (Elvis former girlfriend Linda Thompson would not have let this happen.)   Elvis was found face down in front of the toilet.  Ginger assumed he had fallen into a drug-induced sleep.  Turning his head to see his purple face and his tongue caught between his teeth proved otherwise.

The head of Elvis’s security force Joe Esposito was called in.  Turning Elvis over, a gasp of air escaped.  Joe, too, wrongly thought his boss might still be alive.  The fact was Elvis had been dead for over two hours.  Rigor mortis had already set in.

An ambulance was called.  Joe tried CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.  The household staff became alert to the emergency.  Worst of all, so did Elvis’s daughter Lisa Marie who tried to run in the bathroom.  Ginger blocked her, locking the door.

The ambulance team was told by Elvis half-brother Rick Stanley that it might be an overdose.  (He should know.  He, along with Elvis’s dentist administered the fatal medications.)  It took five men to place Elvis on the gurney.  The King had ballooned to 255 pounds.

Elvis’s doctor, Dr. “Nick” Nichopoulos and Joe Esposito boarded the ambulance.  Ginger, who had finally made up her mind to go, had the back of the ambulance door shut in her face.

Dr. “Nick” feverishly worked at reviving the corpse that rocked the world.

Meanwhile, back at Graceland, Ginger consoled eight year old Lisa saying that her Daddy would be all right.  Others prayed.

Adrenalin was injected into the heart in a futile attempt to resurrect the fallen King.  An ambulance worker said it looked like Elvis was already dead.  These desperate attempts at life soon faded.  Elvis Presley – the King of Rock and Roll was pronounced dead from cardiac arrhythmia at 3:30 p.m.

PostScript

Col. Parker with Elvis

Col. Tom Parker would continue to manage Elvis’s legacy, collecting 75% instead of 50%.  This would continue until Lisa Marie reached maturity; whereupon, it was revealed that the Colonel had been scamming the Presley family for over thirty years.

Ginger Alden was shut out from the Presley family after appearing in an exploitation film titled “Living Legend:  The King of Rock and Roll”.  In 2014, she would write a book about their affair titled “Elvis and Ginger”.

Elvis with Ginger, Dec. 1976

Elvis’s father Vernon Presley, age 63, died two years later from a heart attack.

Elvis’s father

Lisa Marie Presley, age 54, would die from a bowel obstruction, the end result of bariatric surgery.

Elvis’s daughter

Benjamin Storm Presley Keough, Elvis’s only grandson would die at the age of 27 from suicide.  (Death by gunshot.)

Elvis Suicide (Part IV)

Elvis ex-wife Priscilla and his half-brother Rick Stanley have either said or implied that Elvis Presley killed himself with a deliberate drug overdose.  Their theory goes that Elvis saved up his medications (known as “attacks”) and then took them all at once.  Is there a hole in this theory?  Possibly.

Elvis and Ginger Alden (1977)

Elvis’s girlfriend Ginger Alden was sleeping in the next room.  Wouldn’t she save him if awakened?  (Except, she didn’t.)

Additionally, I don’t believe Elvis would want to die by a toilet or commit suicide with his daughter Lisa Marie in the house.

The Turning Point – 1976

Col. Tom Parker and Elvis argued over the amount of money he way paying his new backup group named *****.  Parker said they weren’t worth $100,000, only $50,000.  “El” said he would pay them whatever he wanted.  In truth, ***** was being paid extra for supplying the “King of Rock ‘n Roll” cocaine.  Elvis’s bodyguard Red West attacked a member of the group, saying he would break one of his bones for each drug transaction he made in the future.  Soon after, Red was reprimanded by his boss Elvis in front of Sonny West.  After a long discussion, Elvis finally told Red, “I need it, man.  I need it.”

Written by his bodyguards shortly after they were fired.

August 1, 1977.  The scandal book “Elvis – What Happened?” had been released, detailing the years of drug abuse.  The “King” had plans to deny all by writing his own book and by marrying Ginger.  Unfortunately, his appearance in “Elvis in Concert” only proved what the book was saying:  that his life had become a train wreck.

Elvis 1977

In my opinion, the drugs taken on Aug. 15-16 1977, had a culminative effect.  The steady buildup of nearly a dozen drugs (Codeine, Quaaludes) built up in Elvis’s system, causing a fatal reaction.  Did he plan it that way?  I don’t see proof.  Like most addicts, “El” was in denial and thought he had it under control.  It was only a matter of time before it killed him.
