Ancient Celtic Belief in
Reincarnation.

 

Little has been said about the Celtic doctrine concerning life after death, because native sources, having been censored by catholicism, are, quite naturally, silent on the subject. The only future world of which the texts speak is the christian era. In this respect the native literature presents a striking contrast to the testimony of classical writers who assert that the Druids believed, like the Apostles of Jesus, that the souls of men are immortal. So strong was the belief that, according to Valerius Maximus, even the payment of debts could be deferred to the next world.

Along with the Celtic belief in immortality went the doctrine of re-incarnation; the same doctrine that was taught later on by Jesus, to his Apostles. However much, classical and christian observers may have misunderstood the religious beliefs of the Celts and the teaching of Jesus, it is hardly possible that they were completely mistaken about this, and it is not by accident that the earliest and most vivid 'visions' of a Christian Otherworld recorded in medieval Europe appeared in the Celtic West, 'visions' in which there is a wealth of imagery not easily traced to other christian sources. This is due to the fact that during the "Persecution" of the Apostles by Rome, the Apostles fled from the Holy Land with Joseph of Arimathaea and his niece the "Virgin Mary", who was a member of the British royal family, to the British Isles, where "Virgin Mary" and her uncle, the "rich man" (in whose tomb Jesus had been buried) Joseph of Arimathaea were buried at Glastonbury. This fact was confirmed by various early Vatican Councils.

Jesus taught his Apostles about "Sowing and Reaping" which is called "Karma" (Cause and Effect) by eastern religions and includes inheriting "Bad Karma" from a previous life as a punishment for sins. Proof of this can be found in the Gospel of John:-


9:1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth. (re-incarnation)
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did SIN, THIS MAN, or his parents, that he was BORN blind? (as a punishment for those sins).


It would have been impossible for the man to have sinned before being born, and then be born blind as a punishment, unless he had existed previously, in another body.

JAH.
