  1. I would say yes, there is reincarnation in this dimension of existence or in others dimensions, and indefinitely. The point is that there isn't a you that reincarnates, but rather there is a pattern of existence of infinite complexity, interconnected to infinity that restart is another frequency taking the before pattern as a base. n other words, all of reality is in that pattern, and it resets cyclically. This is what people confuse with solipsism, because you are the totality of reality, but every interconnection that forms you is also the totality of the reality and contains everything. It's the particularity of the unlimited, which has no limits in any direction, inside is outside, etc. So, yes, there is reincarnation, but you won't be reincarnated because the you that asks if it will be reincarnated is a kind of superficial hologram, the tip of an iceberg, identity, merely an idea formed by limits that believes he's a human with a past, a characteristics, who don't want to suffer and want good things,, and this is 1 divided by infinity: zero.
  2. I believe your body is reincarnating all the time. In my opinion you have existed since a certain period of time (I’m not talking about your Godself, which have existed forever, but your individual self independent from your body) and will continue to exist forever, so it’s important to heal yourself and fix your issues in order to not carry them to your next life. If I didn’t believe in reincarnation I’d probably be a nihilist.
  3. @Never_give_up I mean potentially your whole body and sense of self is an illusion, so what reincarnation is there going to be, you're already God.
  4. If existence is since forever and you exist now then... yeah reincarnation seems probable
  5. Don't get hung up on reincarnation. You're God. Focus on knowing God.
  6. Very personal question. Prefacing this with the obvious that what follows below is pure belief. Additionally, I have been tainted due to being an experiencer, which altered my beliefs fundamentally. I believe the brain 'channels' consciousness. When the brain expires, the consciousness still remains - sort of like a broken radio. This radio is gone, dead, never to return. But the radio waves, broadcasts and channels, remain. So if the brain is harmed, consciousness is altered. I believe the consciousness that inhabited my particular form will return to harvest more experience in another body at a later time. The knowledge the consciousness accumulated in the previous form is then built on in the next one. This facilitates growth & experience. To know thyself. Every part of this illusion of reality is a lesson and there is something to be learned. If I do not learn from the experience, the event is repeated over and over until I can see the frequency, the cause & effect, then isolate and learn from it. Master it to alter it. This ties into my other belief that we are here to learn to use, control, influence & manipulate energy. Whether that is in the form of matter or energy is no matter. Emotions, feelings, light, sound, concrete, sex, food. All just energy in different forms. Suicide is no way out. I view it as a short circuit. You didn't achieve what you needed to in the current form, so you will return again in a lower state to learn the lesson again. I view suicide as anti-God. Most souls do not want to actually kill themselves - they just want to end their current circumstances. And circumstances are ever changing. This life, this experience, this body - it is a gift. And although there is suffering embedded into this reality, there is also joy, as it is an ever changing, flowing pattern. So, I guess I believe in reincarnation.
  7. @Miguel1thank you for trying to help. In the end I just have to accept that some things aren't as I like and I just need to do what I like (drawing) and find a way to survive and cure my addictions and problems. I may not accomplish it fully but at least I should try. I hope reincarnation is real , just in case I don't make it in this lifetime . (Having low IQ is the worst though. Low IQ just means I am incapable of doing things that others can do, and generally it means being powerless... ) Anyway, thank you!
  8. @Water by the River Could you verify the accuracy of the claims in this video? Do you even believe in reincarnation? I think that the type of person who experiences the phenomena described in this video is somebody who is highly spiritual or who possesses a high state of consciousness. I don't consider reincarnation to be truth, but I'm open to the possibility that it's real.
  9. Declassified pentagon files have suggested the possibility that reincarnation is real based on data derived from its research projects. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a63149552/pentagon-psychic-spies/ https://www.uniladtech.com/news/pentagon-study-reincarnation-could-be-real-298673-20241210 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14166719/Secret-Pentagon-study-reincarnation-consciousness-Monroe-Institute-Gateway.html
  10. @Javfly33 @Ishanga @Breakingthewall In Buddhism they believe in reincarnation and karma. You keep reincarnating after death until you "pay" all your karma and then you stop and cease to exist completely. That state of cessation and nothingness is called "Nirvana ". It's basically a form of salvation and being free from the sufferings of life. (because according to Buddhism.. life is suffering). I was raised as a Hindu. Hinduism also have moksha . Which is when the self realises its The Self .when the drop realises its the entire ocean and dissolves into infinity . Its also in Hinduism called when atman (the human self ) awakens to the realization that its Brahman (the universal Self or the "all") What do you think of the Buddhist and Hindu narrative? And what is your own definition of Nirvana? Of course anyone is free to comment..maybe Leo or @Princess Arabia or @Davino or @Hojo or @Razard86etc . But I tagged these three members on top because I read them using these terms often and i want to get a full comprehensive idea of how this works . To me..life is not a video game ..with past lives and accumulated karma and shit like that . We just born ..live ..die ..and disappear as a finite human..and then you exist as formless consciousness forever. But then again why the hell shouldn't a limited form exist again ? Bottom line is consciousness is immortal .it can't die in its most basic absolute form .but the details remain a mystery. I guess we all gonna die and find out .or...?
  11. I wrote on a social group, that it would be so Ironic if Senwar was reincarnated as an Israeli child or if Hitler was reborn as a jew and then someone responded, that already happened it is Netanyahu
  12. @Rezo gelenidze You're still so young at 24. You have a lot of time left to make yourself successful. Many people find success late in life. You don't need to be some football star to have a fully satisfying life. Don't give up so soon. Try to find creative ways to make your life work. Not just grinding but do things more intelligently. You can still make your life much better. You can't trust what anyone tells you about reincarnation because that's just belief and hearsay. Don't throw away your life based on the spiritual speculations of some confident fool. You can't assume that killing yourself will lead to something better.
  13. So is reincarnation true? Is there life after death. I want you to contemplate the following quote: "Think of it like this: Before you were born, you were in a state of nonexistence/nothingness -- kind of like how you might imagine death to be. But yet, you were born from this nothingness. It is like you were in death already and yet you came to be! Death is fertile for birth. After you die, you do a similar process as you did when you were born. The Universe knows no time. Eternity is at the blink of an eye. This is one life out of an infinite that you'll live. Existence is the miracle. The Universe is Magic! Welcome to the game of Eternity." In this way, death can be understood as the reset for rebirth. You could be dead for a billion years, but yet, the time between your death and the next life would be as if no time passed at all just like in your sleep. When you die, it will be as if you never even lived, but it will also be as if you never died either. You've lived an infinite number of past lives already, but to live this life requires you to forget all the others. Is reincarnation true? Well, what is the alternative? That you die and never wake up? Or that you wake up from nothingness just as you have already done before? How is it even possible that you were born in the first place? Do you see how existence is like rolling a double six. It might be improbable, but the Universe is eternal. That means that it has eternity to make the 1/10000000000000000000000000000000 probability happen. This 1/10000000000000000000000000000000 is life itself. No other planet that we know of has life on it. The Universe will keep rolling until it hits the 1/10000000000000000000000000000000. But it will be as if life is a given. It will be as if rolling a double six was meant to be. If the Universe is eternal, then it makes sense that life, no matter how improbable it is, will inevitably exist. Life is inevitable because of eternity. In the same way, how could your rebirth not be inevitable because of Eternity?
  14. Thanks for the response and the resources you have provided. I'm studying Jurgen Ziewe’s work. I have already watched a few of his videos. He believes in a soul that doesn’t die but instead transitions to different astral domains. He views this process as a form of reincarnation, in which the way we live our present life affects our next life. Also, his spiritual insights and OBEs match NDE stories. But I need to learn more about his spiritual insights and about Buddhism itself. I'll scan through the resources you provided.
  15. I don’t know how you guys define solipsism. But to me that is if you believe you’re the only conscious experience. So that’s what I meant. I don’t know if you could “awaken” to that, then it means it must be true . But I don’t believe it’s true so I don’t believe you can awaken to it. That’s why I wrote “believe”. I get your point. I have developed a kind of opposite mindset of, “oh I’ll just do it in my next reincarnation, I have infinite reincarnation’s so I have a lot of time to do things”😂😂😂😂😂jk i don’t hold that mindset
  16. What if? Nothing was ever created or destroyed because the nature of existence is simply existence. What is manifested is only an endless cascade of dreams in dreams. There is no objective history, or evolution of man, nature, or the universe. Every story we tell ourselves is written in the dynamic scenario of human experience to give us a certain context of our experience. Experiencing in existence takes place through mutual relations. There is an infinite, multidimensional chain of relative relations. You will not fully experience your role without completely losing yourself in it. You will not look at the world through the eyes of a medieval farmer, remembering ChatGPT, space flights, the LHC, etc. You assume that the previous experience of human life was in the so-called past as people understand it. Your previous incarnation could have been on a very advanced planet, where beautiful people live in harmony with the cosmos, pursue their beautiful passions, and even master sub-reincarnation - transfer to another body within this peculiar paradise. Do you realize what resistance you would have to incarnate on Earth A.D. 2024? The same as now, when you think your next incarnation will be in the backward Middle Ages. Remembering "previous", often very different experiences from the current one, while believing in the absolutism of the current ones would be torture for most. If you are playing the role of the Godfather, mixing it with the adventures of Bridget Jones makes little sense, because "being macho" simply won't work. You may not always incarnate as human, or have human experience. As a human, you don't know how capacious human experience is, have no clue what infinity of existence really means, and in general, know very very little, almost nothing. The human scene is not the only one, nor is it the most important. Nothing is more or less. The whole existence is nothing more than a mega-theatre with an infinite number of stages, on which an infinite number of plays are performed so that you don't get bored because being eternal perfection for the sake of being is simply boring and pointless. You happened to choose this scene called Earth 2024 (enter your country, city, and family) and of course, you deliberately forgot what you are because otherwise acting in this play would make no sense. Just as we give awards to actors who can completely lose themselves in the character they are playing, you do the same. Some stories and novels are very long and extend over many years or even eras. Let's take Tolkien as an example. The same applies to our so-called earthly fates. Do we have any Tolkien fans here? Your attempt to understand what is happening without a real (not conceptual) reminder of what you are, however, included in your script, is simply doomed to failure. Seeing through closed eyes, levitation, and moving so-called matter with the help of intention alone is possible. Imagine that you are acting out a scene in which you are a conscious stone. Like in the movie "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once". Come on, stimulate your imagination! You put on a cardboard disguise and hold a still dialogue with another actor. You forget that you are a human being and you really can't move even a millimeter. Forget about jumping. But it's enough to simply remind yourself what/who you are, which is for certain reasons utterly hard. Duality extends much further than you think, far beyond this tiny, "material" dimension. It's all true. Relatively. As Pablo Picasso said: "Everything you can imagine is real". one, not so big "if" PS In this act of our play, we approach quite close to a little bigger picture from many directions:
  17. An appearance. A higher/multidimensional, very durable (survives this life/death) and complex higher dimensional being/apperance (more than 4 dimensions). Ziewes Out-out-of-body experience of the soul: "I was fully awake, and suddenly, it was as if I was seeing myself in the totality of us, in a higher state of consciousness. What I saw was myself—not as a human being—but as millions of energy centers. I could focus in on any one of them. Each energy center was a part of me. Some of these centers held past lives. Others carried unresolved issues problems I hadn’t addressed or had neglected. Some centers represented unfulfilled relationships, experiences that hadn’t been fully lived or resolved. I realized that some of these energy centers were versions of me living on completely different planets. I could actually zoom in on any center and gain a complete understanding of what that life was about, what it had left behind, and how successful or incomplete it had been. I could have spent an incredibly long time exploring all these past aspects of myself—each one forming a part of the totality of who I am. Then, I became intensely aware of the darker aspects—parts of myself that hadn’t yet been resolved. It became clear that there was a kind of mechanism at work. The moment my attention was drawn to one of these energies, something would activate—a process that began aligning other energies or paths with it. Before I knew it, I began to see possibilities. There were opportunities to heal, to resolve these energies, and to bring everything back into harmony." (ChatGPT time-stamp-removal) See also similiar experiences at David Spangler (last book quote, and also his biography), and many other (also historic) cases. And what does this evaluating/life-reviewing/new-life structuring? Something like "cosmic" AIs/Intelligences. We already have AIs, so of course Reality holds incredible powerful AIs and/or higher Beings/Intelligences. So basically, the soul is like when you save the game in a Roleplay-game at every moment, but only the character-skills/points/exerpiences/impressions... get saved, and then put into a new adventure/story-line/incarnation afterwards. And then one learns on some more skills/points and so on. Ain't we are having (imagined) drama, tragedy, horror, adventure, comedy&love, and fun? And the Koan de jour: Who is the player of this game, who is all players while forgetting these other player-perspectives real-time, the game-maker, the world-creator, the game-mantainer? Who imagines and contains all these vast appearing/imagined realms and vastly intelligents "AIs"/Beings/Aliens crossed because of copyrights/tm and replaced by: Higher-Dimensional Beings/.... ? And who is maybe also playing completely different games than the soul/reincarnation game? "What" is "that" Reality which can not not be here? Playing a bit with Apeirophobia by the River, and then relaxing (since, you know, assuredly & verifiably always here with nowhere else to go) and going swimming in the warm River... PS: China? Difference to Germany: The trains are on time. But I still prefer my teutonic hometurf. The flight back passes Dunhuang pretty close (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogao_Caves) and the Silk Road nowadays, since when one flies with the Austrians they are no longer allowed to fly over the Russians. Very interesting track compared to the usual Siberian track.
  18. Here are first-hand-experience reports of a life of OBEs: https://www.youtube.com/@jurgenziewe9125/search?query=reincarnation And to continue with the bad habit of quoting my own posts : https://www.actualized.org/forum/search/?&q=reincarnation&author=Water by the River This "taking the last incarnation" sounds a bit like the "escapism" of early Buddhism/Hinayana/Theravada and so on. Why should an experienced/old soul not be able to handle an incarnation even in a physical realm more or less gracefully, without feeling too much out-of-place (been there, done that before), and hence try such an adventure once more? Maybe even be a bit helpful for its fellow incarnated adventurer-heroes? There are many realms to incarnate, (subtle realms for example, where it is not so easy to die), many evolutionary paths, many Lilas. Physical realms are just very structured, with clear cause-effect (physical, biological and chemical and higher level consistency of cause-effect, aka "not much magic") and dependend on a quite "breakable" body which follows these rules. Starting in the Astral levels (Afterlife realms), that is changing - already dead, so not much need to work and put bread on the table. Then there are subtle realms and realms beyond these Astral Afterlife-realms altogether, with different evolutionary paths and modes of existence, some more alien multidimensional/higherdimensional and beyond human imagination. Concerning these topics, David Spanglers Subtle Worlds: An Explorer's Field Notes is an interesting work. And his magazin Views from the Borderland (from which all issues are still available). And all of these games are imagined by just One (without a second) Infinite Being, playing with itself in its endless comedies, dramas and tragedies and any other Theatrical style available- Who is that again?
  19. hmmmmmmmm if you dont practice it you are not a breatharian, especially if you are not aware. how it works is still a mystery for me. some say it is just prana and thats it, some say it is energy that air gets from the sun. some think it is some use of electricity. in qigong you have bigu practice which is fasting and lots of research about qigong you can see with electricity so maybe qi is just elecricity? idk really you have lots of people that are level 3 and some 4 and talking about it online. breatheirans are alwayas eating just not taking energy from food but from other sources pretty much. 3 and 4 levels are still living on prana pretty much tbh, how someone can live one 300-400 calories a day? and most of the calories are fresh fruits too. part of the trick is that their body becomes really good at recycling water and minerals and all kinds of stuff, but still doesnt explain how to live on so little for so long. i wrote about the explanation in the quote above you . what you mean by light body? there are body builders that are pranic and they have lots of muscles but they muscles don't weigh much. you are eating the purest food so some say it leads to immortality. but the body still decays, maybe slower but you can still die from all kinds of problems . also usually they believe in reincarnation and some can see how they will be after they are dead so i guess they do want to die. really common in yogic tradition to choose to die or living on prana and things like that . so idk about not dying but if you can live on prana it is the best diet you can have for sure. they are not soylent drinkers and protein shakers. they are living on fresh fruits and vegetables, sometimes just the juice and less than 400 calories and sometimes they dont eat at all and do it for many years and be healthy and develop muscles . they do not look out of concentration camps, they look healthy and some gain lots of muscles. level 4 can not drink or eat for forever, there are people that dont drink or eat for more than 20 years in the community. i think you dont have any hard data right now (you do have some) on this topic and it is kinda like proving god or enlightment and stuff like that. if you feel you have a calling just practice it. it is safe practice and just explore yourself safely and see if you live on prana or not. no one gonna win in intellectual arguement about this topic because the data and theories are not good enough but the practice is pretty good and solid i think. especially if you like fasting and meditation and exercise. i do belive in it but i dont mind if it is pure bullshit because i am having so much fan and feel so good and it really helps my life in many ways. worst case scenario is that i had fun and got some mental medicine becoming more healthy,eating better food and have more muscle, best case senario is worst case senario + food freedom.
  20. I am scared of death. I believe in Oneness, and eternal reincarnation. I didn't have any awakening or experience of it but since I heard Leo talking about it I feel it that it's more accurate than conventional atheist or theist popular beliefs. Here is the problem. I am so attached to this life that I don't want to go to the next. I love this life, I love not being old, I love my parents (although I have huge problems with them as I have told before), I love my health. Some months ago I felt dizzy and thought I was going to die (it was probably just a panic attack), and I thought how much I don't want to leave this life.I had years to feel that scared, I was extremely scared. Please don't take this question lightly, I feel extreme feelings of sadness when I think that I will leave this life. Or that I will suffer in my life, like we all do from time to time. I feel I am not enjoying this life as much as I want and still I love this life so much, and I also would hate to lose everything I have. What should I do? Even if I live this life to the fullest, it will never be enough when it stops. Paradoxically, I feel like I want to stop living cause I feel scared that i will stop living, which is suffering. I am so scared of death and suffering. What should I do? What would you do or actually do yourself? Any advice?
  21. How do you know this is true? This is the opposite of sensibility. Humans who are genetically and spiritually gifted don't need a spiritual guru. They can learn from others’ insights and experiences, but they don't need a dedicated guru to guide them step by step. But most humans are average; hence, they do need a spiritual guru or guidance. This resembles my experience as an English teacher. While teaching Japanese students, I wondered in the back of my mind why they needed a dedicated teacher for years. I had an English teacher when I was in college, but that was it. There were 40 other students, and the class was academic and conceptual, not comprehensive or focused. I finally realized after a few years that it's all about genetics. Most people are average; hence, they need a dedicated teacher. If reincarnation is true, it's obvious that a highly spiritual person who does not need a guru is experiencing his last incarnation.
  22. It's impossible to understand the issue of reincarnation from the perspective of the self, which returns again and again. The only thing that can be reincarnated is a pattern of existence. The self that passes from one life to another is unreal. The one looking through your eyes is reality. Reality is looking through all eyes. Therefore, you, as reality, are not going to be reincarnated. Reality is not someone; it is totality, the absolute. It is not jumping from life to life; it is already infinite lives. The self that seems to jump from life to life is just another structure that reality takes, a form that, without the substance that reality gives it, is nothing.
  23. I don't believe any of your definitions except for Undefinable. You can just ignore the hyperbolic stuff and pretend it's the same thing, as something obviously wreaking of humanness like Love. "But Crocodile, Love is impersonal, nonhuman, hyperbolic blah blah blah blah blah blah..."---no! You can't get around that all of these are way too limited points of view. I'll say this: if reincarnation and common implications of it is real, everything is all good. If not then there is no excuse whatsoever to not be a sorcerer, to shift consciousness out of the human into visible and tangible realms which are nonlinear, complex, and nonhuman in order to preserve your awareness after death. Either way, humans and the earth should take on a form of perfect Beauty through genetic engineering, long-term nature, or paranormal means. Humans should be made more intelligent, even more open-minded and more benevolent and more versed into these impersonal, nonhuman, hyperbolic realms so we can explore Beauty and complexity of time, space, meaning, pleasure, understanding, etc. forever as immortals both liberated from reality and enjoying reality.
  24. I’m not scared of death if death is eternal nothingness. But I do too believe in eternal reincarnation and oneness so that scares me, being trapped in eternity and experiencing horrible things. I’m also afraid of suffering, mainly physical suffering. You could work on making your mind a safe space, having thoughts that support you rather than bring you down. It could look like having positive mantras for yourself, it could be visualizing positive things, about whatever. It could look like contemplating suffering and death so it turns into a thing that’s “interesting” , it could look like investigating your fears and contemplating how they work, so you gain a better understanding of them. So basically over time you build a better mindset, so the content of your mind works in your favor. Thats on the mind level, but you could also go on a body level, utilizing deep breathing at random times in the day to calm your thoughts down when you’re stuck in your head.
  25. With everyone's blessings and guidance, I would like to create a thread dedicated to showcasing articles and books on reincarnation/rebirth case studies so that people can judge for themselves whether reincarnation has a basis in fact or not. In India I have come across a couple of reincarnation case studies in newspapers and acquaintances, which helped to keep an interest in this subject. After accessing the internet, I found to my surprise that there are similar cases in the West even though there are no teachings of reincarnation in its dominant religions and belief systems. Here is an insightful article about a young boy named James Leininger remembering his past life as a fighter pilot in the second world war and who died after his plane crashed into the ocean. https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/wp-content/uploads/sites/360/2017/04/REI42-Tucker-James-LeiningerPIIS1550830716000331.pdf https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1209795/Reincarnated-Our-son-World-War-II-pilot-come-life.html https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1550830716000331
