During “The End” Collect of Liber XV, The Gnostic Mass, The Deacon proclaims:
‘Unto them from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen may there be granted the accomplishment of their true Wills; whether they will absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with their chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto them may there be granted the accomplishment of their wills; yea, the accomplishment of their wills.’
So, the Thelemic religion does acknowledge the possibility of reincarnation. The New York Times recently ran a feature on current research being done on the survival of human consciousness after the body’s death at the University of Virigina at Charlottesville’s Division of Perceptual Studies. One early excerpt reads:
‘This last conundrum — the survival of consciousness after death — continues to be at the forefront of the division’s research. The team has logged hundreds of cases of children who claim to remember past lives from all continents except Antarctica. “And that’s only because we haven’t looked for cases there,” said Dr. Jim Tucker, who has been investigating claims of past lives for more than two decades. He recently retired after having been the director of DOPS since 2015.’
