The subject of reincarnation is attracting new attention. What is it all about?
Can
reincarn~tion
explain the Ínequities in this life?
Is it possible you have lived before? Who are you really? Now you can know!
I
S IT FAIR?
The
vast majority
of human be–
ings spend their
whole lives in
pove rty
and
want. Only a
sma l l minority
live i n luxury
a nd
wea lt h .
Why?
Why will mil–
l ions go to bed
hungry tonight,
while others have
food to waste?
Why do sorne lose
thei r
healt h ,
homes or family
and others do not?
H ow is it the
"good" peop le
seem to suffer, and
scoundrel s often
prosper?
Are the vast ma–
jority o f humans
condemned to sorne
kind of punishment,
while the relatively
few receive material reward? Is
there any sensible and j ust expla–
nation for the inequities of life?
And wha t happens
after
this
life?

Yes, why do un–
called-for tragedies
occur? What do
they mean?
