Reincarnation

"Just as in the physical body of the embodied being is the process of childhood, youth, old age; similarly in the transmigration from one body to another the wise are never deluded."

- Chapter 2, Verse 13 of the Bhagavad-Gita

Based on the principles of Breath of Odin (Numina) and Web of Wyrd {Tela), Vigilism affirms that the divine numinous essence embedded in a natural physical entity is imbued and carries with it some partial element; personal identity or the entire soul, of an individual. This type of henology assumes unification by return and is not dependent on any conditions of redemption. Therefore Vigilism asserts and emphasizes working for a good life by cultivating virtue or virtuous behavior as its doctrine of salvation.

"The soul never takes birth and never dies at any time nor does it come into being again when the body is created. The soul is birthless, eternal, imperishable and timeless and is never terminated when the body is terminated."

- Chapter 2, Verse 20 of the Bhagavad-Gita

When a person passes on, their soul goes to Hel (Spirit World) for an undetermined amount of time. At some point, the soul gets reincarnated and exists again in  Midgard (Material World) to live another life. This cycle of reincarnation continues until the soul has m learned all of its lessons it needs m to,accomplished all of its tasks, and experienced everything it sought out to experience. Once this happens, the soul is freed from this cycle of reincarnation and the soul transcends to the Summerlands, a place outside of the realms. 

There are three instances besides transcendence into the Summerlands that affect the cycle of reincarnation. The first one is that during on the lives the soul manages to impress one of the Gods or Goddesses to a point where that said God or Goddess invites the soul to a seat of honor in their hall, though the soul still has one more task to complete m (before final transcendence to the m Summerlands) at the said God or Goddess request. The second instant is when a person dies in battle, then that soul is brought into either Valhalla (Odin’s Hall) or Folkvangr (Freya’s Field); though again, he soul still has m one more task to complete (before final transcendence to the Summerlands) at the said God or Goddess request. The third instance is that person reaches true enlightenment on their current life and choose to ascend to the Summerlands or reincarnated for the good of their fellows.

"For one who has taken birth, death is certain and for one who has died, birth is certain. Therefore in an inevitable situation understanding should prevail."

- Chapter 2, Verse 27 of the Bhagavad-Gita

Higher Training I: Ethics

The Noble Eightfold Path is grouped into three higher learnings for ease of teaching and learning purposes. The first higher learning is called ethics and it consists of Right Speech, Right Action, and Right Livelihood.

Right Speech
This practice considers being truthful, not participating in slander and other name calling, talk that may bring about hatred and other negative effects, and harsh and impolite language. The most interesting aspect of this practice is that one should avoid all idle talk or useless gossip. This basically translates as one should not speak carelessly - always speak with a purpose and if you have nothing useful to say then practice "noble silence".

Right Action
This practice is about promoting and pursuing honorable, moral, and peaceful conduct. One should not steal, avoid dishonest dealings, illegitimate sexual actions, and hurting life. This action also encourages that one should help other people to lead the same type of life.

Right Livelihood
This practice states that one should earn a living by honest means and not deal in weapons, intoxicants, hurting people or animals, exploiting people or animals, and anything else that could be considered illegal or that causes harm to anyone or anything.
