Overview

The HORRIBLE Truth About Reincarnation is that we do come back. Death is not an escape. The Near Death Experience that I had this lifetime showed me that God is with us always and we are already with God, wherever we are. As God's children we are always welcome to come Home for a visit, but God did not create us as individuals, with self-determinism, to hang around Heaven all day, as that Lucky Old Sun does. God gave us life to have a life.In my understanding, and realize that is all I know - in my understanding, God gave us life to have a life, to create our lives as we choose, to be a man or a woman, to be a highwayman, or a spaceship captain, or a drop of rain or a rock, or a tree or a fish, or a hamster - whatever we choose. Even if we choose to be a pebble on a beach, we have God's blessing to contribute to God's creation by creating.The HORRIBLE truth is that we will be back in the world we leave. We are, by this time in our eternal wanderings, so bound to the lives we are living, by our good deeds and our bad deeds; by those we love, and those we hate; by all the interconnections to others and this planet and this universe; by our successes and our failures; by all the incomplete projects in our lives, all the things we wish we had done differently, that we cannot get our attention off these lives and this planet and this universe. We are doomed or blessed to come back and have another go at it.

Author Information

Thomas J. Mason is a retired Information Technology Manager who lives in the High Desert north of Los Angeles with his wife of forty-four years and their dog, Tara. He discovered, after falling in love with the beautiful redhead who was to become his wife, that in addition to her incredibly cute redheaded twins, she had six other children. But by then it was too late. He was hooked. She continues to be the best thing that ever happened to him. These days, he puts his great-grandchildren to sleep by singing Irish and Scottish traditional songs while accompanying himself on his Irish flat drum, called a bodhran. Tom started life as a farm boy; became an army brat when his father rejoined the post-WWII Army; attended Sunday School and church growing up; enjoyed the Cub Scout pack at his church, but did not feel comfortable joining the Scouts outside his church; was active in sports in high school; played The Ghost of Christmas Past in the school production of A Christmas Carol and played The Genie in an amateur production of Aladdin; excelled academically and was active in school politics, culminating in his election as School President. The small-town success of his life fell apart when he went to the big city to go to university. There was too much spiritual confusion and chaos. And girls, left-wing politics, girls, drugs, and... he dropped out of school. His analysis was that there was something fundamentally wrong with the basic philosophy of our culture that would allow us to kill each other en masse and destroy the planet on which we lived. Tom Spent 43 years, from 1967 until 2010, studying religions, from Buddhism to Zoroastrianism. Finally, in 2010, after nearly losing his body to prostate cancer, the Near Death Experience he describes in The HORRIBLE Truth About Reincarnation put his head on straight.
