Incarnation

The reason why our soul incarnates over and over again is to become enlightened. One cannot become enlightened like a snap of the fingers. They have to take it one step at a time. This process may take a lifetime... or... MANY LIFETIMES :O !! Jesus Christ is the only human being that was enlightened from the moment he was born.

This also has to do with the different heavens and hells. This is all a spiritual concept really. But no one will be able to know for sure, unless their soul can recall all the places it has been to.

The concept of more than one heaven and more than one hell come from our consciousness which is the only thing that both our physical and pure forms share. Our consciousness can be divided in many levels. But there are two main categories. INTEGRITY and NON-INTEGRITY. The levels of integrity will lead the sould to one of the heavens. The levels of non-integrity will lead the soul to one of the hells.

Some people believe that there are 6 hells (due to the devils number) and 7 heavens (because 7 is a holy number).

According to the map of consciousness, there are 8 levels of integrity and 7 levels of non-integrity. So maybe, there are 8 heavens and 7 hells.

Hope this kind of cleared up the incarnation concept and the heavens and hells belief.
