In The Law of One, Book I, a book purported to contain conversations with a channeled "social memory complex" known to humans as Ra, when the questioner asks where Edgar Cayce received his information, the answer received is,
"We have explained before that the intelligent infinity is brought into intelligent energy from eighth density or octave. The one sound vibratory complex called Edgar used this gateway to view the present, which is not the continuum you experience but the potential social memory complex of this planetary sphere. The term your peoples have used for this is the "Akashic Record" or the "Hall of Records"."[7]

OP, i was wondering, what is your take on the akashic records?
Here is a quote I picked up from the Wickipidea page on the subject. Your OP made me think of it.

Well if what you say is true, do you have any forecasts of the future you might like to share??
Of course, Elijah did not reincarnate into Elisha. Elisha had been Elijah’s assistant for years (1 Kings 19:19-21).
There is also precedent for the spirit of a prophet coming upon other people even while the prophet remained on earth:
I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you carry the burden of the people so that you will not have to carry it alone. . . . Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke with him, and he took of the Spirit that was on him [Moses] and put the Spirit on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied . . . ~ Numbers 11:17,25
Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD had commanded Moses. ~ Deuteronomy 34:9
Clearly, this has nothing to do with reincarnation but with spiritual anointing.
Likewise, it is highly unlikely that the Bible means that John the Baptist was literally Elijah but that he had the same spiritual anointing as Elijah.
Moreover, when John the Baptist was questioned as to whether he was Elijah, he specifically denied it:
Now this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. . . . They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.”. . . ~ John 1:19,21
The simplest explanation of this emphatic denial is that John the Baptist was not literally Elijah, nor was this ever the meaning of Malachi’s prophecy. He simply had a prophetic calling and spiritual gifting of the magnitude of Elijah’s powerful anointing, just as Elisha was not literally Elijah but had “the spirit of Elijah” – his amazing prophetic gifting, and as the seventy elders received the Spirit that was on Moses, thus empowering them to prophesy.
Was John the Baptist Elijah Reincarnated?
Why did John say he was not Elijah (John 1:19-21) when Jesus said that he was (Matthew 11:10-14)?
Luke 1:3-17 gives the answer. The angel who announced John’s coming birth said, “Thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. … He shall be great in the sight of the Lord. … And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Verses 13-17.
When Jesus referred to John as Elijah, He was referring to his life, spirit, power, and work being like that of Elijah. The same is true of the Elijah message of these last days. The emphasis is on the message, not the man. So John was not Elijah in person, but he was presenting the Elijah message. (“Elias” is the Greek form of “Elijah”.)
Why did John say he was not Elijah
Matthew 11:14 does not really teach that John the Baptist was a reincarnation of Elijah. Luke 1:17, an important cross reference, tells us that the ministry of John the Baptist was carried out "in the spirit and power of Elijah." Moreover, reincarnationists conveniently forget that John the Baptist, when asked if he was Elijah, flatly answered, "No!" (John 1:21).
Regarding Jesus' words about being "born again" in John 3:3, the context clearly shows that Jesus was referring to a spiritual rebirth or regeneration. In fact, the phrase born again carries the idea of "born from above," and can even be translated that way. Jesus clarified His meaning by affirming that "flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" (v. 6).
There are other Scriptures that clearly debunk the notion of reincarnation. Hebrews 9:27 tells us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment...." Each human being lives once as a mortal on earth, dies once, and then faces judgment. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body. Second Corinthians 5:8 indicates that at death the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. Luke 16:19-31 indicates that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
We must also remember that Jesus taught that people decide their eternal destiny in a single lifetime (Matthew 25:46). This is precisely why the apostle Paul emphasized that "now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Is Reincarnation Biblical?
The author makes a convincing argument against the various claims for reincarnation, exposing them as nothing more than shams. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the so-called "evidence" in support of reincarnation has been debunked time-and-time again, one still hears those who refuse to disbelieve trotting out the same tired arguments in support of reincarnation. This book is useful as a source of material to point out to them that the material which they use as evidence, such as the Bridey Murphy story, has been exposed as nothing more than a sham.
Reincarnation A Critical Examination
Satan and his demons have supernatural powers. They have the power to induce hallucinations and demonic manifestations. Demon spirits have existed since before man. They know details of earlier people's lives. It is true that no person currently alive could have known details such as those about Bridey Murphy. But the same demons that were alive then are still alive now. They saw what Bridey did, how she felt, etc. Demon spirits can induce hallucinations containing information from other lives.
A person having a hallucination thinks it is a real experience. A demonic hallucination using information from someone else's life seems real. Reincarnation is a reasonable explanation for these experiences -- false, but nevertheless reasonable.
"Why would Satan bother coming up with a big lie about reincarnation? What's the point?" Mankind has an innate desire to commune with God. It is in our nature, because God put it there. Satan will use any means available to lead people away from God.
Reincarnation
Howard Storm clearly states that the concept of reincarnation doesn't jive with what Jesus told him during his NDE. The universe (as explained to him by Jesus) just doesn't work that way.

What's your point? You said your schizophrenia was actually a possession by "Satan" in disguise. This raised a question or two in my mind. Are you saying you overcame your schizophrenia because of an "enlightenment" with "God"? If so, are you also disguising your medical treatments as "God"? Or is this a prank and it's an excerpt from something you read? My brain just melted a little bit.
edit: Just caught the caterpillar part. No, caterpillars don't die. It's the exact same animals, undergoing metamorphosis. Yay for science!

So what happens in 2015 when the war in "heaven" ends? Also, how come this is the first time I've ever ready anything like this? Do you just sit home alone every day reading and convincing yourself of things? Maybe we can twist this like Ancient Aliens did and replace keywords with "Alien" and "Visitor" lol. Seriously though, I think my mind is blown, maybe, but not sure, yet.

The star "rigel" you mentioned is measured 772.9 light years away, but you said that our limitations means we can't accurately say how far it is. What do you mean "limitations"? That number, 772.9, seems more accurate than your 777. I'm convinced we can accurately tell how far a star is. I'm not convinced, however, in some of the claims you make...
