I subscribe to what I call “The Theory of Random Reincarnation”. Because I do, and because I know that enlightenment is possible, I suspect that permanent enlightenment is possible only when we are all enlightened — which helps to explain why I became a “spiritual coach”.

A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that the theory of Random Reincarnation makes a lot of sense. If you have reason to believe in reincarnation, it’s an important principle to understand. But even if you don’t, it gives you a razor you can use to decide the best course of action in many a situation.

I also suspect that no one becomes permanently enlightened until we are all enlightened. It only took 40 years to put 2 and 2 together, and connect those thoughts. This article explains each idea, how they connect, and why I’m sharing my spiritual practice with others.

If you haven’t heard of the “Random Reincarnation” theory before now, I wouldn’t be surprised. As far as I know, I came up with it. (But others may have done so, as well.)
