Reinca ation and Christianity
I had a Christian friend of mine ask me about reinca ation the other day. My friend and I practice Hatha Yoga together at the local fitness center. She is familiar with yoga philosophy and reinca ation, but wanted to know how it could fit into her theology. Her pastor had told her that it was not a Christian doctrine and was a belief held by many Hindus and Buddhists. I told her that his statement was true of mainstream Christianity today, but that reinca ation had many roots in early Christianity.

I had no job and very little money. After a few months, all of my money was about gone and the rent was overdue. I was getting pressure from everywhere to pay my bills.

Chakras and The Caduceus
Hermes’ staff of life, called the “Caduceus” is an exte al representation of the internal energy pathways and their intersections at certain centers called “chakras”. Chakra means “wheels of energy”. These energy centers are symbolized on the caduceus by the crisscrossing of the serpents along Hermes’ staff.
