Why I Believe in Reincarnation (040-1 Sunday 2/5/1956)

Flower explains why she believes in reincarnation. She uses examples from history of well-known figures, like Pythagoras, who believed in more than one life. She shares scripture from the Bible that also supports this belief. But, perhaps most evident of all, she shares past lives recollections from several persons, including her own past experiences. There is an endless chain of lives behind us and there is a glorious future before us. The genius is only that individual who has achieved the high watermark, you might call it, of the futurity of the entire race. Every genius is a sample of what each of us will become, and are becoming. Excerpts...

Lessons from Past Civilizations (151-2 Sunday 4/30/1961)

Mankind is very decidedly standing at a crossroad and trying to decide whether to turn to the right or the left. Other civilizations have met comparable challenges. Some of them have succeeded in overcoming the challenges that we are making. Others have succumbed to the temptations and deteriorated from within by thinking themselves superior to other races or nations and treating them as subhuman or becoming complacent. And so our world indeed is facing a terrible crisis, the outcome no one knows. What is needed is creative humility of the type that will be dependent upon the only power that sees us through the ordeals ahead; and that is the spirit of God. Excerpts...

Excerpts...

The Activity of Karma in our Daily Lives (315-1 Sunday 10/9/1966)
