https://github.com/tambetvali/ConjecturesWithTheorems/blob/main/Conjectures1/Reincarnation.md This post introduces a rigorous, logic‑driven exploration of reincarnation that reframes it as a question of identity, continuity, and pattern recurrence rather than supernatural belief. The article examines how identity can be understood as a flow through generations, shaped by genes, culture, cognition, and meaning. It proposes that reincarnation can be interpreted scientifically as the re‑emergence of identity patterns, archetypes, and roles within a complex societal and evolutionary system. Key themes include: – identity as a material and symbolic pattern – non‑locality of meaning and archetypes – pre‑identity conditions before birth – societal fractals that require unique identity placement – the theorem that “one person is born only once” – goal‑based logic that aligns with reincarnation‑like continuity – repeated‑game dynamics that enforce long‑term cooperation This framework blends scientific reasoning with spiritual logic, showing how reincarnation can be viewed as a structured possibility grounded in identity theory, meaning, and long‑term causal dynamics.

@Leo Gura So after dying you become everything but the moment you stay in that depends how conscious you are? And of course reincarnation doesn't have to go back to human form but you can become high conscious alien in another planet? I'm asking these because I'm just curious how things work after death. -

@Never_give_up Also, beware that it's not "you" that reincarnates (you as the ego-mind-body complex, what you think you are). "You" will die, "you" will disintegrate, "you" will become nothing. That is ultimately what you are. And then what reincarnates is a seeming husk of whatever carries the life-force that births the ego-mind-body complex. And then this husk is what connects you to prior ego-body-mind complexes associated with it (but as far as you are concerned, basically only retroactively were you to recall a past-life memory). If you are heavily identified with your current mind and body, physical death will feel like true death to you. You will feel like you're disappearing forever. The experience of death can be quite real for definitely most people. So using reincarnation as some insurance against whatever fears and desires you have, that's ultimately futile, because you will have to face all of it, and the nature of the thing you think you are right now will vanish, relinquished to the memory of nature. -

The way I understand reincarnation is through the cycle of nature itself. Water evaporates upward..forms clouds..and then returns to the earth as rain. The rain seeps into the soil..and with nutrients from the earth and energy from sunlight..plants begin to grow .for example a corn. A chicken raised on a farm eats the corn. Then your father eats the chicken..and over time that energy and matter become part of his body then contributing to the creation of a drop of semen. He mates with your mother..the sperm meets the egg and you begin to form as a fetus. you are born as a baby and the process continues again in one form or another. In this sense reincarnation is simply the transformation of matter and life from one state to another. You are not separate from the universe ..you are part of it and in a way you are made from everything that came before you. So to me reincarnation is not necessarily something mystical or woo woo . It isthe natural process of existence continuously changing form. -

I don't know if it's abuse or not but I do know that it was a very bad situation for my life. I wasted decades of my life believing things that made my life worse than it would have been. On the other hand religion gave me some hidden advantages so it's not all black and white. When I was religious my life had so much meaning, but also it surpress every natural emotion and you can't communicate with others cause you are living in a different world than them. Also Christianity says things like turn the other cheek, forgive your enemies and have empathy for them, or don't do any sin cause you are going to hell, don't masturbate, pray instead of solving problems and the list goes on and on. That's really bad things to say to kids. I remember I couldn't sleep cause I was scared of devil and when I slept I saw horrific nightmares, that's too much for a kid. My mum is still christian but I don't believe in any religion any more. Not even hinduism or buddism although I tend to believe that reincarnation is real -

@Never_give_up I don't know if reincarnation is real or not, and I guess nobody knows. The point is, you have this one life, so you can try to live it as best you can. What's important isn't IQ, but authenticity, courage, and perseverance. These qualities can be acquired if you're truly committed to yourself. Just don't give up never. That's what life means -

Most people don’t like their life, you’re not alone. To assuage their existential dreads people dream about Gods and spiritual refuges where they can feel their lives have been blessed with special purpose and meaning. If we can’t accept the life we’ve already got, what makes us believe another life would be any different? Also, if reincarnation was actually knowable to anyone, then you’re sure to find out when reincarnation happens to you. Until it actually happens, what’s the point in talking about it? It’ll surely become real to you only when it is meant to happen and not one second before. -
YIDIRYIDIR replied to Never_give_up's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Hey man, I’m gonna answer you honestly, what you wrote doesn’t sound like a curiosity about reincarnation, it sounds like you’re exhausted and feel stuck in a life where you think you’re ‘less than’ others and hate your life, I get it. Those are just beliefs and interpretations, and they're doing way more damage than any actual limitation you might have. There are people with average or even below-average intelligence who build solid, meaningful lives because they focus on what they can control instead of labeling themselves and giving up. I get it, it can feel hopeless sometimes and your feelings are valid, but what's not valid is your interpretation of it and having that attitude/mindset. About ‘going to the next life’, nobody actually knows what happens after death. At least I don't know myself, and I don't think that's the right thing to think about right now. What’s real is this life, right now. And the fact that you’re here asking this means some part of you still wants things to be different, not just over. And that part matters. With enough understanding, better perspective, and time, people can completely change the way they see themselves and their life. This is not just lame motivational talk; it’s something you can actually observe. Your current story about yourself isn’t fixed. It’s something your mind built from past experiences, and it can be updated and changed. you can interpret things differently, see what lessons you learned, see what opportunities you have. But for that to happen, you need at least a bit of openness to the idea that things can improve. Not blind positivity, just enough optimism to stop reinforcing the idea that you’re stuck forever. Also, your self-worth being tied to past failures is a trap. Past outcomes don’t define what you’re capable of becoming and who you are. you can train yourself to not believe that. Here’s what’s not real: “My IQ completely determines whether my life is worth living.” “Because I’ve failed before, I’ll always fail.” “My current situation is permanent.” “There’s no way for me to feel better or build something meaningful.” “The only way out of this feeling is to leave this life.” "I suck and I'm not worthy" Here’s what is real: You don’t fully know what you’re capable of yet. yourself worth and self-esteem are flexible things and are not tied to past or present situations. Your mind is interpreting your life in a very harsh, fixed way. and that can change. People in similar or worse situations have found ways to build lives they don’t hate. (speaking from experience) You have some level of agency, even if it’s not absolute. Change is possible, but it starts with small shifts in perspective and action. You’re not the only one who has felt like this, even if it feels like it right now. If things feel this heavy, talking to someone in real life, even just one person, can help more than trying to solve everything alone in your head. -

@Monster EnergyCan I confirm this about reincarnation in any way? @Carl-Richardis this a joke or it's real situation? sorry for not understanding if this is humour, I am autistic, I have trouble understanding this stuff. -
I don't like my life anymore. I have very low IQ, I don't want to live like that anymore. My life is a series of failures. I want to go to the next life. Does such thing exist? Are we eternal beings with eternal reincarnations? Shouldn't people like me try to go to the next life? This is all hypothetical, so please don't delete this question, I really NEED information.

It's a threat to the individual, your body can be harmed, etc. That's a reality, any living being is programmed to avoid suffering by evolution. Yes more or less. The point for me is to achieve the dissolution of the barrier that separates the individual. When this barrier is active, which is the default state of a human being, you perceive yourself as an entity that can die. You can use mental tricks like reincarnation or transcendence, but it's always transcendence as an individual. When the barrier falls, the individual reveals themselves as non-essential, as a facet of what is. Death is perceived as dissolution into what is, the dissolution of your form into your essence. The permanence of consciousness as "you" is irrelevant, even the permanece of consciousness. Unconsciousness is the same than consciousness in the sense that both are what is; there is nowhere to go. It is always this, what is. At a certain point, being in a closed state is perceived as suffering, and the only viable state is the state without barriers. It must be your natural state; anything else is suffering. When you say self maybe you mean the reality, without center, and really without self. -

People under the state of hypnosis are capable of receiving information relating to their past lives. Looking at the seer type, while they do hold all varieties of magical thinking in order to help you and themselves dance around what they are capable of seeing, and while we know many of them are charlatans, the ones who hallucinate in a ball of quartz I deem trustworthy, they speak of reincarnation as though it is the obvious known, it's uniform. You get the same rewards, you get the same punishments, everything is leading towards your equalization within the karmatic process and you either become it or you falter and become far less of what you could have been. You look at three distinct levels of cognitive functioning, you see at the bottom all they're interested in doing is demonstrating that they know how be people as they judge the people with interesting lives because they know this is how really be people. The Asian school system says so, all of this is incredibly obvious when you look at it, it's just a lot easier to get Asian psychology to submit. You complete self actualization properly, get down to the very bottom of all of your repressed memories and figure out the entire process, you got your little past life index right there, it tells you why you are who you are and why you get what you get, this is what hypnotists are looking at when they give you past life information. A lot of information becomes transferred and sits in the brain, a lot of information can be gathered through unconscious interconnection stored in the brains of people from your most recent life who are still alive. I go reincarnation karma. -

Breakingthewall replied to Mellowmarsh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes he said that he asked himself without pause: who I am, etc, but in the text that I quoted he exposed an opposite idea. Ramana isn't clear, he's intentionally confusing and mysterious, when the topic is clear, direct, simple. Reading what he said seems that he was confused. He talked about reincarnation, mashamadi, he said that he enlightened a cow, or that his mother ended the wheel of incarnations. Bit weird right? -
April.9.2 1 Idea: Use music notation and the sectrum-time respresentation of sound for art. Is there a free plugin I can use? 2 remember swadesh list 3 the composites are not roots but rather principles from which the roots originate 4 what is formal semantics? Is Silexis a kind of formal semantics? 5 I think my lamguage is oligosynthetic. It might be a very good oligosynthetic language actually. 6 Translation blending load epistemic closure error correction April.10.1 1 One way to translate the suffix "-less" is by using the prefix "(a)vea(b)" meaning empty in a metaphysical sense. 2 remember ablative 3 Silexis is an a priori language. 4 WHOAH it seems I'm doing something similar to what W. John Weilgart is doing with his conlang aUI. 4.1 "The language of space" is a wild name it would also fot as a name for my language. 4.2 "aUI The Language of Space is a symbolic, universal language designed to "heal the human mind from the slavery of slogans of hate into a peace through understanding, a cosmic consciousness of harmony with the universal Spirit" okay yeah it seems I'm his literal reincarnation. 4.3 "Peace through Understanding" yeah that's silexis 4.4 He is a psychoanalyst that's wild. Yeah I'm exited to learn about aUI 5 Yeah I need to learn everything about oligosynthetic languages. 6 It seems that oligosynthetic is a false dream. I've actually seemed realized this already which is why my language is actually more semi-oligosynthetic. 7 I need tk investigate Ithkuil 8 "In Toki Pona, meanings are built by syntax (phrases), not morphology. Example: • jan = person • pona = good • jan pona = friend But this is just two words in a phrase, not a new word formed from morphemes." 8.1 This actually seems more similar to my language. 9 Maybe "a priori philosophical language" is the best description of silexis. 10 "Quijada's interest in conlanging began when he was introduced to the utopian politics of the Esperanto group as well as some books from a record store near his home" 10.1 woah that's interesting, since my politics are also very utopian. Guess I will have to investigate esperanto more too. 11 It seems I'm mainly doing glossopoia rather than conlanging. I'm doing this for artistic reasons and for study of culture mainly. 11.1 "The word was popularized by J. R. R. Tolkien, who was both a philologist and a novelist. Tolkien described his own language creation (such as Quenya and Sindarin) as glossopoeia. For him, inventing languages was often the primary creative activity, and the stories of Middle-earth were partly written to give those languages a cultural setting." whoa this is wild. I hate that I don't love lord of the rings now. 12 Post draft glossopoeia So maybe some of y'all know me as the dude who metaphorically runs around screaming about the importance of neurodivergency. 12.1 Post draft response to carl richard @Carl-Richard I came to these conclusions through studying my own brain and carefully observing other people with ADHD. So far this model has not failed me once and it makes insane predictions about peoples lives irl that's why I trust it so much. First I will give my abstract view and then I will attempt to give a reductionist explanation. Abstract explanation I call people without ADHD point-people (23-04-35) and people with ADHD non-point-people (83-04-35) or diffusion-people. Evolutionary explanation Reductionist Explanation The way I explain the emergence of point-being is that it has something to do with different modes of computation. The idea is "if one takes in a lot of information at once and is processing them in parallel, it is fast, but the result comes with uncertainty and can't be checked like sequential computation".

You believe in reincarnation, but you don't believe in heaven and hell? If you take the general definition of heaven and hell, where one is a better life and the other is a worse life, then, if you believe in reincarnation, you HAVE to believe in heaven and hell. Even if you take the strict religious definition, then if you believe in reincarnation, you are more likely to believe in heaven and hell i.e places where you go to in the next life. You believe in jinns. But you don't believe in angels. That's ridiculous. If you're going to believe in unseen creatures, might as well believe in them all; you don't get to choose which ones to believe in based on preference. The source ends when you end? So now you're taking a solipsistic view. That's the ultimate narcissistic viewpoint that's seen as ridiculous by almost everyone. Your understanding of reality sounds very confused. -
VeganAwake replied to VeganAwake's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
In that sense there WAS apparent formed existence prior to your birth from your parents that birthed you and their parents to them...etc...etc....and all other biological creatures and such. But there's nobody in the body that knows that. It's just obvious from watching how existence survives and reproduces currently. If the body awakens and feels refreshed, it's just obvious that it most likely slept well. Contrary to popular belief, there doesn't need to be a "what/who/witness/knower", for something to just be obvious. When the "sense of self/the knower" is recognized to have never been real, there are still memories of how silly and conditioned "its" illusory belief systems actually were. There is no more confusion about incarnation or reincarnation, heaven or hell, god or satan, good or evil, because it's now obvious that these were just ridiculous stories created and passed down from generation to generation in an attempt to create meaning and purpose and a sense knowing and groundedness..............btw, humans are the only creatures that desperately need there to be meaning and purpose..........all other creatures just go about their days existing. Nobody knows the origin of life and even if we did, it still wouldn't matter. That body, this body, every body will eventually be dust in the wind. There is no hope which is simultaneously the freedom longed for but which is only recognized upon Samadhi or the collapse of the self illusion! -

@Lazarus93 so like everything can happen then right?literally. not just the same boring reincarnation stuff to the same world,for example i could reincarnate to a fantasy world where magic,dragons things like that exist right,or is it limited in that way? and any other stuff i want basically -
I think we have measureable qualities of very different things. We have "unidentified" and "flying" "objects" - in this objectual realm, we cannot claim much contact; this whole classification is rather based on security and not advancing field of contact, exchange of science and culture; technology, possibly, is exchanged by this classification: rather, this is a close contact with extraterrestial life. While unidentified flying objects, if they exist, could prove extraterrestial life, most of the meaningful contact and cooperation is rather different. We have distinct kinds of reports; I classify them in alchemical categories: - Mental. This is the realm by which, we calculate probabilities of life, their survival criteria including by which terms they can be advanced civilization and reach, basically, us. Here, definitions of species, their incomes and outcomes and shares or conflicts with us can be measured based on criteria, including the probability to have anything to do. On mental level, any other creature has definitely "noticed us": we might include their hypothesis on which life might exist, and how to treat it, and we can logically build on this mental field, to be ready and prepared, and to estimate any intelligent race is ready and prepared, but on their own terms, as they meet us - by this time, we can develop intelligent response based on intelligent quest inside our mind, and it's infinite potential to create imaginations, mythic realities, and estimation calculations; as well as answering questions like "what is necessary even to be alive, and then to come as an alien? what is necessary to survive?". Theoretical category, as open minded and profound it can be, will be inclusive to things we haven't seen, and we can reach far in probabilities to include each outcome. - Spiritual. We dig deep into our own being: we look at sky, from colors we mentally take the light interference patterns into the chemisty, so with plain eye we see chemistry in sky, associating with elements we know. We can see the color of third eye at pleyades and especially andromeda, or "war color" of red at Mars; or the shining brilliance of Sirius - all this is associated with categories we know. Spiritual people, at least, resonate with the multidimensional realities, which associate with themselves, and draw from civilizations they would build there, if they was of the same element: while it's hard to follow the whole universal reincarnation, as well we are criticized by beings who naturally reincarnate on the same planet and call this "reincarnation" - some beings are very much adopted to their native environment, and cannot cope well with big changes. We can see elements play in human soul, and recognize: how elements of people are associated with elements of certain planets, galaxies etc., and how they basically still play the "would-be": the actual quality of being born there, is hard to measure, but we can see how we are part of universal play of elements, and might not represent here the element which actually is dominant here, and identifies Earth: in desert of Earthly sands, typical sands, you can suddenly find rocks of Mercury; while not being, perhaps, from this planet: they resonate with rocks of mercury, the hologram vibration of each energy they got to vibrate at all; both light and radioactivity are tuned most often between the same element. - Material. In this sense, alien contact involves physical visits. In this sense, we must physically see the alien, or read radio signals and identify their sources. While this is the strictest criteria, this is hard to meet: since we ourselves are not capable for travelling space based on our understanding of who to meet, we can do this kind of contact only with alien, which is able and willing to reach here. We all live in our personal realities, and on openness of fields: for each of us, our travel in quantum multidimension, rather than 3D realm which is only the effect of "mirage" of this depth of dimension, creates us a definite reality of open possibilities all around us. This is not speculative philosophy of abstract realms and metadimensions such as logic and math; this is rather a real, material philosophy of this: space around us leaves it's possibilities open, and we are having alchemy with it for long time before it reacts. These two realms: the world we see from inside, where the spirit travels matter by it's meaningful combinations, and the world outside, a material quantity associated with effects of this spirit, our conscious field; it's very synchronous one: while for spirit, it unfolds like a "dream", a world which seems to be able to create different realities freely to different beings, but in matter, it's a physical realm which follows sure material patterns - how this material realm, which is not a dream but an automata or a machine, provides to the spirit inside, is the fact that indeed, the spirit has been evolved with this matter to constitute it's meaningful view: inside, the spirit dreams, and based on their own consequences, different realities appear to them. This dreaming spirit can be sure in elements in fractal, and how each element gives life somewhere: naturally, the "fire people", "water" or "ice" people etc.; we can see them building life from their local elements, and melting into their nature and natural world while carrying the deeper meaning of life - how it responds here, locally, to grand consequences matter is blind of. These three categories are rather meaningful for development of our culture: naturally, we look for aliens which are not in conflict with others or which is handling their conflicts; while KGB and CIA might screen their criminals and warn us, we can find native cityzens who are not actually entities for them, it seems: I have seen aliens enjoy human life.

What happens to consciousness when its form dissolves be it a rock, an animal or a specific human? How does consciousness chose its next form? Does it use some sort of a rule or it's completely random? Life is obviously seems to be unfair because someone takes on a form of a successful billionaire and someone gets born in Nairobi in Africa. Since God is a supreme and intelligent being there must be some kind of fair logic behind it. I'm curios to hear your theories and ideas about it, especially if you confirmed them in your direct experience. Thank you.

“§ 1. Before my self-awakening, …” 19 March 2026, https://www.dhammatalks.org/books/Wings/Section0008.html. ““And this, monks, is the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress: precisely this noble eightfold path—right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.4” (SN 56:11) “THE JHĀNAS are eight altered states of consciousness, brought on via concentration, and each yielding a deeper state of concentration than the previous. In teaching the eightfold path, the Buddha defined right concentration to be the jhānas. The jhānas themselves are not awakening, but they are a skillful means for concentrating the mind in a way that leads in that direction, and they are attainable not only by monastics, but also by many serious lay practitioners.” (Brasington 2015, Preface) “Waking up is a difficult task. It’s probably more difficult than cutting a wooden table in two with a dull butter knife. If you really wanted to cut a table in two with a butter knife, you could probably do it. If you pressed really hard, you could make a little dent in it right away. If you kept working and pressing, you could cut that table in two with that dull butter knife. But it would be really hard work and would take a very long time. However, if you were to get a whetstone and put an edge on that butter knife, sharpening it up, then you could cut a lot faster. You would quickly make up all the time you “wasted” putting an edge on the knife. Of course, after a while the edge would become dull, and you’d have to sharpen it again to keep cutting. Undoubtedly you could cut that table in two a lot faster with a sharp butter knife than with a dull butter knife. The purpose of the jhānas is to sharpen your mind, so that when you look to see what’s really happening, you have penetrating insight into it.” (Brasington 2015, chap. 8) “During the meditations Byron Katie moved deeply into her “awake” experience, so deep, in fact, that she lost touch with the sensory world. One day during the meditation an automobile crashed into something on the street in front of the halfway house. People jumped up and ran to the windows but Byron Katie sat there, still in meditation, completely oblivious to the noise, the commotion. “Then when they directed me to come out, I came out. They were all talking about the automobile accident. But I had done what they told me and I trusted in that. I was in meditation. I was just following directions.” Byron says that during the meditations she left and came back with knowledge that she calls revelations. … “For three years the revelations were nonstop,” Byron explains now. “I would literally take them to the streets and try to tell people, but it scared them and so they moved away from me. Really, the revelations couldn’t be put into words. That was where I was doing harm, by trying to put them into words. Once in words they narrow down to very simple things like _unknowing is everything; no time, no space; there is only Love; I am Love._”” (Weber 1996, _A Cry in the Desert: The Awakening of Byron Katie_, 26–27) “Without concentrated mind, progress is relatively small.” (Levenson 1993, chap. 10) “With mastery of the fourth jhāna, three other modes of practice become available. We’ll just mention them here briefly.” “Recollecting “past lives.”^20^” (Culadasa 2015, Appendix D: The Jhānas) Cf. 5-MeO-DMT and other psychedelics. “The evolution of souls involves a transition from …” (https://mega.nz/file/EwQBASQC#uclk5SXynVaNedy8Np5PuEpOOhSkwOJsVl4pK3wA_YM) See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_of_Souls_(book). Seretan 2008, Is everything preordained.doc. “Karma and reincarnation are part of the illusion and have no part in the Reality. Past lives should not be gone into as it is playing with the unreality, making it seem more real.” (Levenson 1993, 266) Weber 1996, _A Cry in the Desert: The Awakening of Byron Katie_, 26–27.pdf Is everything preordained .doc -
thierry replied to Franz_'s topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
The question of suicide is very complicated. In some traditions, there is no taboo around suicide; it is even recommended rather than living without dignity, as with the Japanese who practice seppuku. They opened their stomachs because they believed that this was where the soul was located, in order to leave a way out for the soul. So even in their beliefs, they still wanted to put conditions in place for the afterlife. Today, if we lived like the Japanese of that time, given the way we live without much sense of honor and almost constantly lying we would have to commit seppuku three times a day. I don’t know which of the two philosophies is better: « If life is no longer worth living, then it doesn’t matter. This life is only an illusion anyway. You can take it away at any moment, and you’re not going to live in an undignified way when you can die right away. It’s pointless. » Or the other philosophy: « as long as you breathe, fight. As long as there is a spark of life, fight. » A second question arises from the initial issue of whether suicide leads to hell, and whether the universe truly makes a distinction between dying by suicide and dying by other means. Does the universe even recognize such a difference? For example, imagine someone walking down the street and a murderer comes up behind them and shoots them in the head. Would their consciousness then be sent directly to some kind of paradise? But if the exact same thing happens except that the person is the one holding the gun and pulling the trigger would their consciousness instead be sent to a place of horror? In other words, does the universe really make such a moral distinction based solely on who pulled the trigger? Or even if the difference is not as extreme as heaven versus hell, might there still be some subtler distinction in how these two kinds of deaths are treated? I really don’t know Another concept that seems interesting when thinking about this question is karma. And yes, I realize that I am only working with concepts and beliefs that may seem elegant or plausible but that is really all we have to work with when discussing this topic. No one has ever died and come back to tell us what actually happens, or at least no one that we can truly verify. One elegant concept is karma. I don’t know about you, but at least in my own life or in life in general the idea of karma often seems to work surprisingly well. So why not extend that idea beyond life itself? For example, imagine a case where suicide might appear justified: someone whose body is completely broken. They are not dead, but their body has lost any real vitality, and they live in constant pain. Let’s say this person still has ten years left to live in this broken temple that is their body. Perhaps they are meant to go through those ten years. Perhaps if they endure those ten years and then die naturally, their next reincarnation will be completely “clean,” with good genetics and a healthy body. But if they end their life before those ten years are lived, perhaps their next reincarnation will be in a body with something like diabetes because they still have something they needed to experience that they did not live through in the previous life. Of course, these are only hypothetical ideas meant to illustrate a possibility. But even then, would it truly make such a difference? Living ten years in a broken, suffering body or having diabetes in a future life. Is it really worse to have diabetes in a future life? Is it truly worse to spend ten years in a body filled with suffering? In the end, does any of it really make that much of a difference? -
Bro. I just read the whole thing. This is genuinely one of the most epic pieces of ontological writing I've seen posted on this forum. The Infinity = Truth = Love equivalence, the three-layer self, the ego-as-installation framing, nice work. I've compared this to my own ontology, and it has a lot of common ground, but this are the main differences I've noted: 1. The structure of the Subject Your system: multiple Sovereign Gods that are genuinely distinct from each other at a deep ontological level. Two God-heads that meet are genuinely other to one another. Plurality is real, not functional. My system: one Subject (Universe/God/Consciousness), multiple object-loci. Me and You are not two Subjects encountering each other. They are the same Subject experiencing itself from two angles. Otherness is functional, not ontological. This is not a minor detail. It changes the entire phenomenology of love, encounter, and relationship. 2. The demonic layer Your system: real entities with their own operational agency. Demons do things, have ecological logic, enter through holes, install themselves. It is a populated ontology. My system: that layer is not necessary. Interference, ego, dysfunctional patterns all derive from the mechanics of filters and density levels without needing to postulate external entities with their own agency. 3. Reincarnation as structural mechanics Your system: a specific and detailed reincarnational architecture. Between-lives states, Heaven as a restoration state, selection of next incarnation through resonance. It is load-bearing in your framework. My system: the void as the canvas before manifestation does not require that mechanics. Stream continuity is not tied to a specific reincarnational narrative. 4. Belief vs. direct knowing Your system: operates from a very elaborate and sophisticated framework, but it is still a framework. There is a lot of conceptual architecture. The document itself acknowledges this at the end by calling itself a map. My system: post-void, I operate from direct knowing. It is not that I have a better map. It is that I verified the territory directly. You point at that distinction but the document does not live it in the same way. 5. The ego Partial convergence but an important difference. You call it a demonic installation, which implies an external entity that entered and took control. My system derives it from the mechanics of the filter itself, not necessarily from an invasive entity. Two different explanations for the same observable phenomenon. --------------- Also, I wanted to mention you that I'm building something I think you'd find interesting: an ontology battle platform called The Ontological Oracle. The Oracle takes any ontology and stress-tests it against hard philosophical questions, por example explanatory power, internal consistency, edge cases. You can ask your Ontological system questions, or see if a certain sentence is coherent, incoherent, or unexplored territory for that specific framework. Another use case is the arena, you can make your system compete against or in collaboration with other systems. And see if it holds water when discussing a certain topic, or if it needs to evolve in a certain direction. Your system would be a fascinating one to run through it. Would you want to try it? I'd be curious to see how your Sovereign Gods architecture holds up against some of the questions the Oracle throws at it. @shenanigans

Interesting, but there is a knowledge about those false ideas, and any knowledge is something that is happening. For example, the stones doesn't know that reincarnation is false, or the ocean doesn't know that there is not a self. To know it one should know that before was a self, then that that self is an illusion. That, lets say, cloud of knowledge, perception of the body, of danger, belonging, etc is what we call the self. it's a form of the reality that is happening now, you can call it illusion if you get happy doing it, but it is a reality that is happening now, despite of the adjectives that you put in it. Why this reality is happening in that way? Because it's a separation between what is inside and outside. The stones haven't that separation, only the living beings that needs self-preservation have, and then we have, voila, a self. Btw, how now you, or whatever, knows the there is not reincarnation? Maybe the reality is happening in 2375 parallel dimensions where vegan awake is developing different personalities, then when you die all of them have to fight in a trial by combat, and the one who survives (I hope it's you) is going to paradise with 72 virgins -

Basically when the self illusion dies, everything just becomes obvious. The body just feels more relaxed than it did before when it was running around in the matrix of self illusion and doing things according to its conditioned societal upbringing. Here it's obvious that there is no god or satan; heaven or hell; incarnation or reincarnation; no higher or lower authority or universal purpose or meaning. It's incredibly easy to recognize that all these beliefs and concepts are just fictional human made stories. Religion, spirituality, societal structure..........it's all BS.......totally made up crap. It's freedom from all that stuff! It's shocking and hilarious when it's seen clearly!
