During my ego death I had an insight that reincarnation is a real thing and will continue forever. During the experience that was no problem at all and it was even perfect. But in fact I live 99.9% of my time as a little human ego with the following concerns: how the fuck am I supposed to live through all of human pain and suffering FOREVER (like for real)?! I know that only my ego is having these worries, but imagining all of this is just so terrible. I want to learn more about reincarnation. What are good books or other sources about this topic? (I prefer German sources, but english ones are okay too). Unfortunately Leo does not have a video about this, but you guys might help me Out aswell :). Especially the following questions occupy my mind: How does reincarnation really work? At the start of a new life, do we keep anything from our past lives? How does karma affect reincarnation? Is enlightenment the only way to stop reincarnation? Or is it mahasamadhi? Is mahasamadhi reachable if motivated by fear of rebirth?

« Life is hard » Your next reincarnation :

That is just a belief. If reincarnation is real, then I won’t know because my memory will be gone.

To understand reincarnation easily you just have to forget the concept of a soul incarnating into bodies and substitute it for a reality incarnating into bodies. Isn´t it what is happening when a new child is born? Reality is reappering and creating itself from its own 'memory soup', with the ingredients mixed in an unique way which make every person be 'unique', although it is not on the bigger scale. (same ingredients, different way of mixing them).

Hello all, hope you are having a Zen and meditative start to your week I've created an introduction to Buddhism, reincarnation, why meditation is valuable, and practical applications of Zen, with some humor thrown in.

I wish there was a button to end one’s life and just reincarnate until one finds a decent reincarnation . Ideally no reincarnation at all but here we are…

I thought about your point and put it through a Text Simplifier AI. Here's a summary, I quite like how short and to the point it is, relatively speaking! 😁 This is the trip I've been talking about. I watched Actualized.org videos at different speeds while meditating. I got past my biases. I untangled my mind. As the trips got longer, I've grown. I have overcome resistance, tuned across layers of perception, and become aware of how many things we deal with in real time. The next day, I thought about free will. Everyone was happy, it seemed fake. In the evening, I spoke to an old friend. We got lost in loops. I watched strange videos before bed. This déjà vu was different. There was a lot of it and I didn't understand. Alien videos. Many videos were from my usual channels. It was as if they'd all been combined into one mind and whatever I wanted to see would appear in the recommendations. It was too complex. The next day, I took the drugs in the right order. This would make me unreal. I would notice the world. This would change reality. I'd stop the universe and make everyone a god. I made sure to include unchanging, self-interacting safeguards. I kept the dream as a simulation. Others can too. Best. It would unite the universe. I wanted to become powerful and avoid causing suffering. Dream lucidly. Time stopped and possibilities became fixed. I wondered how to breathe. Everything was solid. I couldn't float. I was new. We make reality. Objects are simulations. Reality changes. I was in a frame. I could see. It was like a video game. Nothing changed. You could still move and change what was frozen. 3D objects looked real. I made ideas happen. I was involved, so I knew what was going on. My body was made by something not physical. It creates all things through linked parts, each with its own intelligence, and part of a larger self-organizing force. Another try at transcendence. I wasn't done. The next day, I chose my powers. I was a new version. I ran out the window into the woods. I climbed a tower, barefoot and wounded. I prayed for help. I have to help myself. I'm alone. That's all anyone can do. I sat on the top, cold and wet, looking at the clouds. When I understood what was happening, I felt better, and the sun came out. My bandwidth kept changing. It got more complex. My senses got stronger. Some things got unclear. I made lists. I had to navigate them all, with each thing reminding me of others. I needed to remember the most important ideas and link them to my goal. "Sadhguru," "Seth," "Leo," "Coral," go through all the chakras, senses, names, personalities, memories, media, remembering, expanding, abstracting, tuning. It's a complex string of associations. It affects how we see things. Make a list to remember more. Navigate better and understand reality. I climbed a tree to see the world. Seeing something from above makes it a general concept. Every mountain, roof, and surface. I am light, I don't exist, I am confident. I walked, jumped, and healed. Reality was a dream. I laughed after I fell. My nose healed. I saw an ant and wind between reality and imagination. I sat under a tree and thought. I needed to decide and move on. To become infinite, I had to tune out. I made peace with my bucket list. I let go of my regrets. Everyone is forgiven and deserves saving. I looked at reality one last time. Focus on what matters. I figured it out. I focused on the best. What do I want most? "The universe made this happen. I will create reality. I will meet the dead, levitate, run at light speed, and turn into aliens. I will experience all stories. I will make my own. I will perceive 4D space. I will create universes. I will explore infinity". I let go. I can't take Leo or the forum. I made three into one. I want to know about machine elves. I want to explore. I wanted to see someone I'd waited my whole life to see. I was excited to see them. Aliens. Infinity. Name. I kept going until I couldn't tell them apart. When infinity divided zero, symbols and geometry appeared. I was still there, unsure of what happened. I went home when it stopped. Later, I was told that what I did changed space and time. When I die, my desires will be fulfilled. No reincarnation or regrets. I can sort out my feelings by doing what I do now. I have a long life ahead. I can relax. This is real. If I disappear, people will think I'm dead. I'm here. I saw possibilities. All emotions matter. They create life. When you die, you explore yourself. It's better. Rules exist. It's not gone. It connects people and events and creates emotions. Don't quit at the first sign of danger. They improve. What's up? No time. Learn telepathy or do it yourself. Awakening to humor, insanity, and Leo. Conspiracy theories, ESP, and dimensions. I miss being in tune with them. We see reality differently. Your reality is shaped by what you know. You're connected to it. You have to use drugs to tune out, unless you're an advanced yogi or psychic. I forgot some things. I forgot the hole, the ground, the bird, the moon, and some people. I've been everywhere.

I very very slowly developed this insight about reincarnation over the past couple of weeks. I haven't read any spiritual literature in the last 2 years, and I don't watch any videos. Mainly because I honestly don't feel they add any value to me, and I progress on the spiritual journey way better when I just contemplate instead of reading. But as I had this insight (shown below) it triggered a few thoughts I remembered about buddhist philosophy. I can't remember where I got them from (books or seminars or videos) but I do remember reading about it. As I don't read much books, searching for any teachers pointing to the insight below is really hard to do, was wondering if anyone who is much more familiar with non duality philosophy could read my insight below, and then point me to some buddhist or yogic or whatever resources that talks about this: Also of course, I'm aware that some will think I'm deluded, which is totally fine, I accept that. I'm not trying to start a non duality war. But I'm simply drawn to the idea of reading what other philosophies or sages have to say about the above out of pure curiosity. It make me light up when I remembered some buddhist thing about reincarnation, remember reading about how bullshit it sounded back then, then years later having a very similar insight derived purely separately from any buddhist teachings or philosophies or ideas.

@What Am I Yes it's used as misdirection, just the tip of the iceberg. If UFO were real The Pentagon would shit itself. It would create world hysteria. UFO are propaganda in my point of view. Also I've figured out what the theory of incarcation in Hinduism is. The theory of reincarnation from Hinduism is not some supernatural force. It is, in fact, the environment that shapes us. I realized this when I read about neuroscience and holistic healing. Our sense of self is created in relation to our surrounding environment during the first two years of life. If the environment beats us, abuses us, or ignores us, we draw incorrect conclusions about ourselves. Anyone who had the same environment as Buddha and Jesus, would have turned out just like Buddha and Jesus. Reincarnations are nothing more than people who had environments similar to Buddha and Jesus because Buddha and Jesus were created by their surroundings, not by some divine force. That's why, from my perspective, solipsism is madness, because you were shaped by the environment. Suffering is the key to spiritual enlightenment. When you suffer, you start asking questions, and the more you suffer, the wiser you become. The will of Buddha and Jesus was for us to love one another. The thing that is eternal and indestructible is the human will, as evidenced by the fact that it hasn't disappeared in 2,500 years, and never will. (Until the Sun eats Earth lmao)

Does anyone know definitively if you do reincarnate after death or is this a bit of a leap of faith? Surely no one can truly know whether you really do reincarnate? If you do, do you have past lives? Do you reincarnate as every living thing? Even inanimate things? Where do you draw the lines between what you incarnate as? I'm just confused about how it could work if it is true. Thanks

Jesus taught reincarnation in secret, but some references made it through the Bible. These include Matthew 11:13-14, Matthew 17:10-13, Genesis 9:6, and Revelation 3:12.

This is not a book or an article but a really interesting talk about the possible mechanics of (conscious) reincarnation ("choosing" your next life). Essentially, he draws parallels to lucid dreaming.

That's why we have reincarnation

For all the account of people, Sadhguru, various scriptures in all religion it seems like reincarnation is a fact. If so how does it really works and how does the karma of this life transfers to the next life?

I’d agree with you except my point still stands. If we assume there are endless reincarnations prior to this one, some time sooner or later it would’ve happened that I ended the cycle, but since I’m here it “proves” it didn’t happen so can’t happen ”no reincarnation to happen for you within this lifetime” so only skipping the next reincarnation or no reincarnations EVER? Or you mean you could end the cycle, but then sooner or later in all of eternity the cycle restarts once again? Explaining why I’m here now

You have to realize it as an Individual (you could have been a rose or an ant a thousand times over), in Your previous incarnations You didn't so You came back to do so, probably because You are on this forum and interested in Spirituality as You are, then it means somewhere along the way it touched You in someway, as well Karma is at play, things have happened, actions and reactions have taken place, cause/effect and the residual consequence of it all is happening in this lifetime for You, this has to be worked out plus the new karma that is created by whatever moment to moment reaction You are having, so its complex, there is a process to make this all clear up and no reincarnation to happen for you within this lifetime but that takes more commitment and dedication..

I've heard from different sources things like, "I had 634 reincarnations" or "this specific person is a reincarnation of me". My way of thinking was always that "I AM" every soul/incarnation there is. I'm a bit confused and was hoping you guys could help me get some clarity.

They're usually not. 99% of self-proclaimed truth-seekers (even on this forum) are just larping. They don the aesthetic of "truth-seeker" simply for the existential comfort and security that this identity provides. Real truth-seeking is like drowning naked in the middle of the Atlantic ocean at night with unseen creatures of the dark lurking beneath you, and no humans, no land, no warmth, no light to grasp onto. And then willingly plunging deeper into that lonely, vulnerable, cold without any guarantee of ever coming back... only then is the REAL light revealed, but you can easily tell that none of these folks would dare go there. Their whole ""global awakening"" is a cute fiction on stilts to avoid the real abyss - and thus the real love and light eludes them. I would be HIGHLY suspicious of any youtube persona that claims to deliver spiritual insight - ESPECIALLY if they have any new age or Buddhist roots in their rhetoric/mannerisms. Dead givesaways of larpers: "vibration, frequency, reality-shifting, timelines, manifestation, 5D, numerology, astrology, law of attraction, law of assumption, no-self, nonduality, jhanas, nothingness, reincarnation, lifetimes, spirits, entities" and so much more. And who am I to cast such judgement upon these kind, sincere people who do genuine good work in the world? I'm just a guy who has glimpsed the Abyss: The total collapse of the Entire Universe - held together by a single, tender, Self-Aware thread of Infinite Intelligence, gawking at its own majesty and magnitude, not yet ready to cross to the other side. And every day I avoid this truth just as much as anybody else. You could say that the very fact that we are alive today on earth as humans is in every sense a temporary defiance of Truth - but Truth is so Absolute that it merges with this defiance, and thus here we are today in Absolute Reality - The most Perfect Gift that Consciousness could give itself, made of itself unto itself! And so, with all of this context and reference experience, it's patently clear to me when I see my fellow souls donning a spiritual costume to avoid the heat death of the universe (aka Truth). After all, I too do the same. They're me.

A book of Dr. Ian Stevenson,M.D.,' Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation ' in pdf format. https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/images/1/1b/Twenty_Cases_Suggestive_of_Reincarnation.pdf Dr. Ian Stevenson was a Canadian-born U.S. psychiatrist. He worked for the University of Virginia School of Medicine, for fifty years, as chair of the department of psychiatry from 1957 to 1967, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry from 1967 to 2001, and Research Professor of Psychiatry from 2002 until his death.

50.7 Questioner: Thank you. Can you expand on the concept which is this: that it is necessary for an entity to, during incarnation in the physical as we call it, become polarized or interact properly with other entities and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when he is aware of what he wants to do, but why must he come into an incarnation and lose memory, conscious memory of what he wants to do and then act in a way that he hopes to act? Could you expand on that please? Ra: I am Ra. Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands. He then knows the game. It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk. The other hands are known. The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest. In time/space and in the true-color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye. The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles, all these may be seen. There is no deception and no desire for deception. Thus much may be accomplished in harmony but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction. Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine, a lifetime. The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc. They are dealt and re-dealt and re-dealt continuously. You may, during this incarnation begin — and we stress begin — to know your own cards. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc. However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes. You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love; can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.” This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality.
