Throwing this out there, for what it's worth.
Throwing this out there, for what it's worth.
Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic "Autobiograhy of a Yogi" reportedly said that Lincoln had been a developed spiritual ascetic in a past life, who died with the desire to bring about racial equality. In his life as Lincoln, Yogananda reportedly said, Lincoln gave expression to that desire with concrete action. This was mentioned in a book written by the former head of Yogananada's USA-based monastery.
I cannot personally verify whether this true about Lincoln or not. Just passing it on for Yogananda fans.
True or not, it makes me reflect on how the "punchline" or primary purpose of an incarnation might often be cloaked in an unfolding "plotline" of one's life, and may not be evident until that plotline has progressed considerably. This reminds me of how a flower does not appear in the growth cycle of many plants until the plant has been developing for quite some time. There often seems to be no indication that a flower is coming until - bang! - it appears.
Just thinking out loud.
