Yes God is infinite reincarnation, you could say. One way to think of God is as an infinitely tall and bushy tree, where each leaf is one conscious creature. But even that is a limited formulation of God.

Reincarnation is simply attachment to forms, some of which may resemble lives.

Reincarnation exists from a certain POV. But you go beyond that POV at the highest levels of consciousness.

And yet there is no end to death and reincarnation.

I don't know why you all resist this concept of reincarnation so much. Are you afraid of something? Of being incarnated to some real shit to verify your claims? I don't consider your God-realization as non-existing. All I'm saying is that this hallucinated or imagined reality is as accurate as it can be. It's a perfect hallucination (I wouldn't expect anything less from God, by the way :). And what keeps you at this stage of the theatre of the universe is your egoic mind. And it's not so easy to drop all your imagined agendas to get out of this game of duality. Once for good. Not for a few minutes, hours, or days.

Reincarnation is just a word and the word is with god, the word is god.

Yeah, I think that too I don’t really know but, reincarnation even if it’s not sequential in terms of this dream is likely as I am here now

Reincarnation doesn’t exist, but it also doesn’t not exist.

@Tudo Does it make the idea of tomorrow not make sense? If it’s all a dream how can anything makes sense? In some ways couldn’t it make reincarnation make perfect sense? If God is all alone and infinitely powerful after is dies it just imagines a new life thus “reincarnating” as something else. I have to admit and will continue to admit I don’t know what happens after death. But, I suspect it’s pretty great.

Fair enough. But it's important not to confuse the effects with the causes. People may have the effects of a soul without souls actually being real or a fundamental part of reality. The collective unconscious could've easily generated the effect of souls just like in the past people prayed to the "sun god" and it actually worked, and the sun god perhaps even literally manifested in the flesh when enough people believed in him. But that's still different from the laws of physics which are harder to change, and so the sun god wasn't "actually" real, just like reincarnation might not be real and only something we create temporarily. Or souls could be real, and be a fundamental part of the fabric of this limited reality like the laws of physics, but still not real when you zoom out to the full extent of God.

Because it has a physical counterpart, unlike some of the alleged potential effects of reincarnation which have absolutely no physical counterpart. Reincarnation memories can be explained without reincarnation. The effects I was talking about cannot, unless you can offer a suitable alternative explanation. Like I said, physical explanations aren't good enough, and reincarnation seems like the best one anyone has ever brought forward. In my initial post I explained how it's not a bad explanation, and not as crazy as it sounds. Souls/reincarnation make so much sense that it could be argued you should try to disprove them before even needing to prove them.

I have no idea how this is relevant. If someone's good at math, their whole family's brains and DNA can be examined and an explanation for why they're good at math can be found. But if someone's obsessed with flying planes from a young age despite nothing in the environment or DNA to cause this, then it may be worth looking into alternate explanations. To answer your question, no I don't think MBTI/Big5/etc. describes one's math abilities, athletic ability, etc. That's just silly. Not sure if you're just trolling at this point. You honestly think a Blue psychologist is gonna come to an accurate conclusion as to why Sadhguru has such an effect on people with just a glance? Or why a blind man might suddenly feel something when in his presence? Changes nothing. Psychic people can in theory have no problem accessing any bit of information that exists. And it is known that such cases are often put there by the LCS to awaken people to the wider reality. How common is the belief in reincarnation/ghosts/aliens/etc.? Extremely common. Why? Because sightings/reports are just about common enough to spread rumours and ideas, but not so common that it breaks the illusion of reality having rules and making sense to conventional science.

The problem is that your suffering isn't necessarily going to be alleviated as you could end up in the hellish realm (based on stories of near death experiences). From a viewpoint of reincarnation, you may pick up where you left behind when you reincarnate and I think religions in general discourage it because then they lose followers or believe you end up in eternal hell.

@LordFall Reincarnation is a fact. There are techniques to verify this for yourself. Yoga Nidra and Kundalini meditation are the ones I do. You must be careful, want, and be ready for postcards from the past. We don't remember previous incarnations for anything. Anyway, even from this life, you will remember about three months, distorted by the narrative of the ego mirror. Then you will discover that what has happened doesn't matter as you are here. The water in the river is always fresh

Reincarnation and parallel realities are fascinating subjects. I hope we come to a point where we can explore this and document it. I have the feeling I've lived my life many times, many things feel familiar.

hopefully in my next reincarnation I will become such an entity

The thing is you don't know, and you have to accept that. It might be the case, that it would have much more upside than downside, or the opposite, but you don't know that, so you are committing yourself to the unknown. Maybe there is such a thing as reincarnation, maybe there isn't. Even if there is such a thing as reincarnation, why would it be guaranteed that your next life would contain less suffering than the previous one? There are many other assumption baked into your questions. Why would you assume, that if there is such a thing as reincarnation, that you would only reincarnate to Earth, or that you would only reincarnate as a human, or that your suicide won't have any karmic consequences?

I mean if reincarnation is real then it has always been real so nothing really changes that much.

@Leo Gura So then all these spiritual masters, Ramana Maharshi, Sadhguru etc etc are just bsing about this reincarnation stuff!!!?

How do you know death is infinite love? What if just wakens you up to another dream? What about reincarnation?

"Communion with God" by Neale Donald Walsch. It's about 6 hrs long and read by three individuals. Contains an explanation of the illusions of humans - a concept that previously mentioned in "Conversations with God", also by the same author and also a recommended audiobook. Note: it is kind of heavy on metaphysics and on the concept of God but very empowering and interesting. When I listened to it - the time flew by. "Journey of Souls" by Dr. Michael Newton. His first book and follows the journey of the soul as presented by thousands of hypnosis induced patients which were regressed to the "between lives state". The book heavily relies on the concept of reincarnation. Enjoy!

What you lecture Scholar for you do it yourself. How many times have people brought up deities, reincarnation, chakras, etc., and your response to that is, "it is imaginary", or "it is a dream".

Nothing changes after death. You are very literally already dead. To the extent the ownership-taking / seeking energy has not dissolved, "you" will keep attaching yourself to other apparent objects. How'd you like to live 100 years as a window? A week as a piece of toast? Or another stint as a human? Go for it. This is "reincarnation". Take salvia for a preview. Enlightenment is the recognition that there is no you and there never was, and gets "you" off the wheel of seeking and attachment forever.

Reincarnation is in your direct experience. It is the belief in the reality and ownership of a self / selves.

The thing here where I think Buddhism is wrong is still the belief in a separate self that keeps reincarnating, like how you can somehow forever get out from the world of form. God will never ever stop experiencing form, it will never permanently stop all manifestation for good, it will keep taking on different forms forever. But God also simultaneously is also resting in pure nondual consciousness, the world of unmanifest form. In a way when you realize you are God you get infinite reincarnation, but also infinite "liberation" (I don't like this word - but you get what I mean). In fact when you realize that time does not exist, then every single experience will be repeated infinitely.
