THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY - A REINCARNATIONIST's POEM by GEORGE SMITH PATTON

ALL POETRY COM : THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY by GEORGE SMITH PATTON 

Just one stanza :

So as through a glass and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names - but always me.

Missy here: I do wonder if Jean Gordon believed in reincarnation.  I wonder if she believed she had reincarnated to be with George.

PATTON BELIEVED HE WAS REINCARNATED

Westerners who were raised in Christianity are told that there is one chance for eternal life and it's this life.  Millions of Westerners, including some who consider themselves to be Christian, have decided that reincarnation  - many lives - makes more sense. Many religions in the past and present do believe in reincarnation and also Karma - the idea that you reap what you sow.  Many people believe that when they bring special talents, skills, or an expertise into this life it's because of their past life accomplishments.  It's not easy to reconcile a special talent for war with spirituality for me, but General George Smith Patton believed he himself was reincarnated as a military strategist ... a genius at war.
