Contemplating Reincarnation

Interview Series with Richard Rudd & Christopher Bache, Ph.D.

In these three unique and inspiring dialogues, Richard Rudd and Chris Bache explore the continuity of human consciousness beyond a single lifetime. Tackling an array of interlinked subjects emerging from this theme, these profound thinkers and mystics weave a lucid picture of the deeper meaning of life and death and the evolution of consciousness as it moves through the circle of rebirth. This free video series is followed by the replay of a live Q&A session.

Part One

Richard and Chris explore reincarnation and how it profoundly expands our worldview, giving us a sense of our eternal identity evolving through the constant turnover of lives.

The growing body of evidence for reincarnation, karmic cause and effect, the higher purpose of existence, grounding the spiritual into the physical, the soul and its development, the paradox of individuated awareness and infinite being, involution and evolution, the birth of the Diamond Soul.

Part Two

Richard and Chris now dive into the deeper implications of reincarnated beings and explore: what happens when we die? The circle of life and the stages of existence in the bardo between death and rebirth, memory that moves both forwards and backwards in time, the individual soul as it relates to the collective soul, the mind of the universe, correspondences between micro and macro viewpoints, the dissipation of daily worries and fears that comes from this expanded horizon, acting from deep trust in the universe, living from soul instead of ego, investing in the communion of souls.

Part Three

In this final part of their riveting dialogue are some of the deepest questions of their discussion: Where is reincarnation taking humanity? What might the deep future look like? How can we best understand the current challenges our species is facing?

They explore the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the nature of revelation, the current world crisis as a birth event, the transmutation of collective karma, the hidden capacities (siddhis) in our DNA, the birth of the Future Human, the transcendence of fear and the end of suffering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is reincarnation?

Reincarnation is the belief that life continues through successive incarnations. Richard Rudd explores it as a spiritual worldview that can offer a more expansive perspective on life, death and human evolution. Rather than trying to prove reincarnation, he invites us to contemplate how embracing this possibility might transform the way we live.

Across many spiritual traditions, reincarnation is understood as a journey of learning, growth and the evolution of consciousness. Drawing on ancient wisdom, mystical experiences and their own insights, Richard Rudd and Chris Bache explore how successive lifetimes may allow the soul to deepen its understanding, transform karma and contribute to the collective evolution of humanity.

What happens to the soul after death?

Various spiritual and esoteric traditions describe an enduring essence of consciousness that survives physical death. Sometimes referred to as the Causal Body or Permanent Atom, this subtle aspect of our being is believed to carry the soul’s evolutionary journey across successive lifetimes, gathering experience and gradually refining itself through the process of reincarnation.

Can we remember our past lives?

Some spiritual traditions suggest that memories and experiences from previous incarnations remain imprinted within our being, even when we cannot consciously recall them. Rather than focusing solely on discovering who we were in past lives, this perspective invites us to consider who we are becoming and how our present thoughts, choices and actions may shape our future incarnations.

What is karma, and how does it affect reincarnation?

In many spiritual traditions, karma is understood as a principle of cause and effect, spiritual responsibility and growth. Rather than viewing karma as punishment, these teachings suggest that the circumstances of our lives provide the very ingredients needed for our evolution. Through successive incarnations, these experiences become opportunities to cultivate wisdom, compassion and greater awareness.

Why do we experience suffering in life?

Suffering can become a powerful catalyst for spiritual transformation, offering opportunities to develop virtues such as forgiveness, patience and compassion. In the Gene Keys teachings, this process is described as transforming our Shadows into Gifts, gradually refining our consciousness and discovering a deeper purpose within our experiences.

What are twin flames, soulmates, and are they connected to reincarnation?

Richard Rudd explores the ancient myth of twin souls – two beings whose connection transcends individual lifetimes. He contemplates the possibility that these souls may meet repeatedly in different forms, sometimes experiencing profound union and sometimes separation. He presents this as a spiritual mystery rather than a fixed certainty.

Will we meet our loved ones again after death?
