My appreciation, Evelio, for your well-presented article on a topic that, since the Serara forum is a discussion forum, I am going to express my opinion on the matter.
Speaking of reincarnation, the possibility of evolving from one life to the next is left open, and of course, it is the soul that evolves, which is known as momentum evolutivum. Therefore, one cannot ignore the life and teachings left by wise men and recognized teachers of Humanity, without having to mention the avatars (divine incarnations), which is another thing.
There is no discussion that the goal and the path is God, and that through this path, we follow those who are ahead of us who in turn followed others more advanced than them, while some will also follow us (to put it this way). This is the universal order: Master-Disciple. Therefore, we only reach God by loving and in no other way; but we have to learn from those who know, to love because we are born without knowing it.
But Elvio, if you are referring to Christian churches and their ministers, I will let SAIBABA Himself answer you!
“It is good to be born in a church, but it is not good to die in it. Grow up and save yourselves from the limits and regulations, from the doctrines that limit your freedom of thought, the ceremonials and rites that restrict and redirect. Reach the point where churches do not matter, where all roads end and all paths lead out.”
Thank you
