     Buddhist philosopher Khun Shwe Thike has written “The Cosmic Order of Reincarnation: Fearless Bible” to explain reincarnation and how the process really works.  There is an extensive discussion of the different philosophies of what the major religions believe happens when we die. These religions include Buddhism, Christianity, Muslim and Hinduism. Much of our society lives in fear about what will happen after we die. Religious fanaticism has helped to propagate these fears. By gaining an understanding of how reincarnation is directed by the Cosmic Order and not religious deities many of our fears about what happens after we die can be laid to rest. There are four natural laws that create Cosmic Order, and it is not created by a being. Cosmic Order has no beginning or ending, it just is.

     A main point that is presented is that when death occurs, the human ceases to exist, but certain aspects of their being, such as matter and force, create a new life. Humans are reincarnated as humans, not as other animals or higher level beings. The Cosmic Order of Reincarnation explains reincarnation as being “…born again as a man after death. There is no other place for man to go.” Accepting this belief will help free us from our doubts and fears about death. The author believes that our past deeds, whether they were good or bad, do not help determine how we will return in the next life.

     An extensive discussion about the origin of man using physiological, biological, and geological evidence is used to illustrate his ideas. The information presented supports his belief that mankind evolved from one step to another as humans and not apes.

     It is best for society that we should work for the good of all, release our fears and learn to live in the moment. We should show compassion and empathy to all. It is also best that we not have more than we reasonably need, nor should we allow money to possess us. Punishment in society should be geared towards prevention and reformation of the criminals. Accepting the beliefs of others, instead of finding fault in them will also help us to live more peaceful lives. By living with ideas such as these, we will be able to make the planet a better place.

     These ideas resonate with me, because I believe that if I live my life with integrity and respect towards others, I will be able to enjoy a good life now, instead of worrying about what will happen when I die. If the rest of mankind would accept these ideas and let go of living in judgment of others we would all be able to share a wonderful world. “The Cosmic Order of Reincarnation: Fearless Bible” is a well written, intelligently thought out “Fearless Bible.” I highly recommend it to those who are looking to live more peaceful, fearless lives.
