Yes, there is an end to the wheel of successive lives. I become what I see. If I see dust, I be-come dust. If I see God, I become God.
The Pythagorean school bore an inscription over its lintel: "Man, know thyself and you will know men and gods". Know what you want, do everything in your power to become it, perfect your technique.
We know of at least two famous beings who finished their cycle of terrestrial lives. Edgar Cayce taught us that the "Master" Jesus has lived thirty-two lives on Earth before becoming One with He whom He called Father: God. After having perfected His technique of total obedience to his Father (just like the Muslims teach), Jesus ascended, lifted himself up, melted and "sat at the right of the father"(1).
If I believe that I reap what I have sown, I have to take responsibility for my life, my thoughts and my actions. I learn the Will of Consciousness and apply it to my life. That is, I shall be atten-tive to each of my thoughts and learn to master each one; I will learn to give and to love. I shall love myself in trying to bring to myself all the good things my soul desires. In so doing, I will answer its call and fulfil the desire to become one with its (mine) Creator.
Totally given to my search for that union, I will face all the conditions that I have created, accept them as being a result of my own doing and change what I must. Little by little I will gain in ex-perience, I will know how to behave in various situations and in the process, acquire wisdom. I will know what road to take to reach the specific place that will allow me to walk the distance separating me from my God, my Father.
"Ask and you will receive', said Jesus. In other words, you will get what you want. Therefore one must be very careful about what one asks for. If I ask for vengeance for some wrong done to me, sooner or later the other will wreak vengeance on me and I will suffer. If I ask for the strength to forgive someone who has wronged me, I will be forgiven for the wrong I may have caused someone. If I ask for Consciousness, I shall receive it.
I will know everything I have done against myself. I will know all the actions I have taken against my soul's intention and desires. I will learn what I have done. I will forgive myself, accept my responsibility; I will change. The more I make changes in me, the more I will purify myself and the clearer I will understand my Father's Will. When the way is cleared, I will more easily see the road. With my will getting stronger I will be more in unison with the will of Consciousness.
The cycle of reincarnations will reach its end when I have reaped all I have sown, taken under consideration all I have done, paid all my creditors; then will I be ready for retirement, ready for Assumption.
This is what Jesus accomplished two thousand years ago. Throughout His thirty-two incarnations, He has lived much and suffered much. He has been a slave, a soldier, a writer, a student, a priest and then Christ. He would often say: "What I do, the Father does through me". He accom-plished in Himself God's Will. He molded himself on divine power to become and act through that power.
He also said: "What I do you can do and still more". This means that we can do at least as much as He. Then, since Jesus assures us all that we can, I for one have decided to embark on the road He has laid down. Jesus vanquished the Earth by loving men and doing His father's Will. I shall not give my life as Jesus has done. My road is different. But I will arrive at where He is. I only have to follow my soul's choices, my destiny, and I, too, will end my Samsara wheel.
