do you believe in reincarnation? metaphysic thread

[Dirty_Jerz]

identity dies with the body

then molecules of your body will be recycled into the cycle of life

when your brain goes blank it's curtains for "you" forever

get comfortable with reality*

If identity dies with the body where does it ever come from originally? What is a blank mind? A dead one?

There are stories of people who have been in near death like states or technically dead situations and even if they say they can see something or they couldn't see or do nothing, they were always aware if it.

identity is abstracted from your environment your experiences your family etc.
a blank mind is the mind of an infant child just acting and reacting
the mind preceding language and the other tools of human imagination

information and experiences during altered states of consciousness such as near death experiences aren't really applicable to everyday reality

the imagination and subconscious is free from the order and laws of nature
the human mind can produce images and stories that just are not possible
you can dream and imagine flying etc.
but can you fly outside of the space of dreams and imagination or being inebriated you know psychedelics and the like?¿?¿?¿

what is possible in reality and what is possible in imagination can often differ greatly*

this is just what I think
if reincarnation is proven to be true I'll willingly accept it
but as long as it stands on shaky ass here-say I'm inclined to think it's bullshyt**

About reincarnation?
Dude, there are people who believe when they die they come back as plants.
fukkin plants, b.

I gotta be honest, I don't even know where to begin with this ridiculous "logic"

Who decides what people are reincarnated as?
How is this decided?

Let's say you die and you're reincarnated as a fukkin gerbil, what do you have to do as a gerbil to be reincarnated in the life after that to be a shark? Or a mushroom?

Meant to say something to you, but my phone was acting iffy.

Plants are living things, right. If it weren't for plants cows wouldn't be fed, the bees, honey, all of that stuff, fruit as well. Its all a part of life, and everything plays a harmonious song with each level of life playing its own instrument.

And who knows who decides what, perhaps the universe? Same person that decides to allow you have a personality and life.

No. I can get a feel of being outside my body when I meditate but it feels like my vision is shaking with my eyes closed. It's like there are different ways to experience being concious. I have had times past when I've blacked out and time runs at an accelerated rate, or atleast that's what if felt like. Not blacked out like being drunk though, sober minded.

Hmm... So what do you think then?

Damn bruh... I wasn't even ready for this level of truth

 

[010101]

Damn bruh... I wasn't even ready for this level of truth

get the necessities out the way

now we ball

one go round anything goes

it's absurd and tragically comedic


the pain of those early revelations turned into constant manic hysterics

now

life......it hurts so good*

Reincarnation is hard to accept as truth because we are so attached to who we think we are which is our identity. Our identity doesn't reincarnate that shyt dies and is gone forever. But the energy and life force that flows thru our veins and heart is recycled into the universe and never dies. The soul that entered your embryonic body inside your mother's womb and started your tiny heartbeat may have been the same soul that belonged to an ancient king or it may be the soul that belonged to a turtle.

Might not be true at all but I feel there's a good chance. Judging from the stuff I've learned anyway.

Idk about that...my mind wasn't blank as an infant. I believe the reality is that we are always in an near death existance, but it takes a certain event(s) for certain humans to be aware of this. Anybody could be gone in a second or less.

The imagination or dream state of concious is seperate from the physical manifestation of kinetic activity but they appear to be directly or indirectly influenced by them.

What man or woman or child can dream up an alternate reality of something they have no knowledge of? A person can think of different colors of blue after being introduced to one hue, but can they imagine a blue sky if they were born blind? Not to mention the sky isn't really blue at all, that's its own illusion.

I did when I was heavy into Buddhism. Now I simply don't know so that's where I've been.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Yes. The "souls" are manifestations of the marginal energy of the supreme lord or entity while he's situated on the border of the spiritual and material planes. The souls then choose between embracing either one of the two, those that choose the spiritual are eternally liberated souls that experience unending bliss and anxiety free existence. Those that choose the material due to getting entangled in maya, or illusion, which is another energy of the supreme, enter the cycle of repeated birth, death, and rebirth until their negative karma is extinguished. We all belong to the latter, that includes all sentient beings.

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

I believe in something, other than death. Not going to try to explain myself, because I don't feel like fielding questions about why I believe so, or comments saying I'm retarded, and when you die you die.

Reincarnation in MY mind seems like a possibility.

 

[Dirty_Jerz]

Hmm... So what do you think then?

About reincarnation? I'm leaning toward believing everyone who exists today is a copy of their past selves spiritually but for some reason our memories have hazed. Not completely erased however, just not so readily recalled. I know that would suggest that there was some set amount of souls to begin with so how could there possibly be new souls being born? My response would be, that those who do not simply reproduce but find a soul mate () combine their essences to not only be reborn but add a new being.
