  1. Reincarnation into pork in the worst slaughterhouse
  2. OK I see . My point once again I can't conceive of the end of suffering as long as forms and limitations and lack and need exist In this world . If death is pure fucking eternal sleep then unfortunately that's the only way to escape suffering permanently. And unfortunately death is just like sleeping you take a pause to refresh and then start all over again =reincarnation. But buddhism actually teaches Nirvana or permanent nothingness if you conquer desire .
  3. There ain't transcending pain as long as you live in this body made of bones and flesh which gets super hungry and thirsty and sleepy every 12 hours . When you die and (probably) play chess with God in his house called nothingness then there will be no pain. Buddhists call this nirvana . But you have to stop the reincarnation cycle by not giving a dam about anything under the sun aka detachment.
  4. Most of humans believe that with the birth, firstly, mind or brain becomes active in the skull, it has billions of molecules that interacts with each other that's how thinking, feeling, perceiving, imagining, remembering, willing, memory, learning, experiencing etc... are creating. Even if brain is used %100 via psychedelics, normally or anything etc... İt is still be considered under the functioning of experiences or feelings. Because of that before physical birth (without the mind), we don't know what was happening such as there is no experience or non experiencing, belief, think, God, nothing, infinite, reincarnation, existence, or non existence etc... Therefore, after physical death (mind or brain dies too) we won't know what will happen such as there will no experience or non experiencing, belief, think, God, nothing, infinite, reincarnation, existence, or non existence etc... (For example, reincarnation is something that we have learned in this life with our brain, so when physical death happens, mind dies too, therefore, after life or next life is completely nonsense). Moreover, the absolute Truth or what We really are is should be the ultimate Truth, and that Truth should be completely true even before physical birth, now and after physical death. That's how becoming directly conscious of our absolute true nature take places. So, how can one become conscious what the Absolute Truth that covers entire eternity (before physical birth, now or after psychical death) with the mind ? Therefore, The true answer can never comes from the mind. Therefore, never comes from any experience, feeling, beliefs, etc... That's when spiritually take places. When one become conscious of that mind is accumulation of thoughts, attachment with thinking (therefore an attachment). Therefore, without thinking (or thoughtlessness) there is no separation with before so called birth, now or after so called death. (Not the thinking or concept of before birth or after death, however before birth or after death (İn that moment)). Because of that universe is not based on physical interaction, however it is only product of the thoughts or thinking ( I don't know what name in Science or Philosophy) 😊 Therefore, The only way to directly conscious of our True nature is throwing out the mind. Because, mind is the only reason of creating the past or future, death or birth. Therefore, separation. etc.. Even if you still attached to thinking, What was there before your so called birth (not the idea of before birth, but before birth in that moment)? 😊 That's what You really are (Some people call Nothing, Some people call Being), always, never moved not changed. Much love and respect to you. Best Regards.
  5. It's all stories, experiences and dream stuff all these astral body stuff and leaving the body stuff and escaping the matrix and all those reincarnation and NDE stories. I can be in a dream last night and it all seems real and whatever the experience was in the dream you couldn't tell me it wasn't happening and that I was dreaming. I'm not saying it doesn't seem to happen but it's all illusory. All stories and memory and hallucination and whatever else that requires for there to be real time and space to be real. I'm not saying the person is dreaming any of this stuff or that it never happened, I'm saying there is no person to Astral project it's the Absolute being all that. There's no person that actually Astral projected, just as there's no person that's actually dreaming. The dream is that there's a person to dream or Astral project. The individual is holding on to it's reality so badly and cannot accept that it doesn't exist and will make up all kinds of stories to keep the dream alive. The dream is the story, the person is the dream, the storyteller is the dream and the dream tells about itself. It tries to hang on for dear life and cannot see that it invented itself and everyone else.
  6. I was thinking in the Buddhist paradigm, which contrasts emptiness with fullness and seeks the elimination of suffering and identifies that with enlightenment, all around the belief in reincarnation and nirvana
  7. @Petals Fair points. I have some subjective data points from this reality that are aligned with what the people in the videos say - that we came for a reason, that there was a harsh "forgetting" or veil, and that I am in communication with someone or something beyond physical 3-D reality. But I've never been to the astral dimension, I never had direct contact with any entity. And I experienced that reality also can project pre-determinded believes or past experiences of me, that's why I'm careful. I don't like the narrative he puts on these entities and the reincarnation story. He projects a very negative picture. And while I had my fair share of life circumstances that seem like a "negative set up", I also have been very fucking lucky, too. It kind of balances out, maybe? Things magically happened for me that allowed me to experience exactly what I wished to experience. Very grateful for that. It feels a bit like hunger games where others can decide to sent some good stuff your way I often had this feeling, good things out of nowhere and it I had a very strong feeling that it wasn't me responsible for this good thing happening. It just fell into my lap out of nowhere. Don't know why, maybe I did something right, maybe I was entertaining, maybe sme had pity, maybe sme just wants to support me, maybe all of it, may be none of it. And in one video the guy also says "would do it a million times again"...so maybe we are tricked into something that's good for us even if we don't see it like that allem the time?
  8. Well, I have no memory of sth like this. I do have the feeling of being guided sometimes, and I do have the feeling of being taught lessons. But how exactly, why, by whom, what for etc...don't know. There's certainly more going on that the eyes can see on the surface. But again, what exactly I don't know. There are so many stories about entities, reincarnation, purpose of life etc how to know what's really true? How to know that it's even the same for all humans?
  9. Don't forget the Reincarnation / Soul Trap MaTrix. Poor us trapped souls!
  10. The point isn't to disintegrate the self, but to open it. Disintegrating the self is the Buddhist way; it implies reaching emptiness. In emptiness, there is no suffering, and nothing matters. But there is a trap: who is dissolving the self? Another self, the Buddhist self that believes in emptiness, reincarnation and nirvana. Opening means perceiving yourself as the living flow of the reality without limits. I mean, you perceive yourself as the form , but also as the flow, the movement, the becoming, then you can shift the focus to the unlimited perspective putting the structure in background. To do that you have to make the structure equalized with the flow, so similar thats almost one, without closures, transparent. Then in some moments you can perceive the real flow so direct than you get open to it's ultimate nature. That's the mystical thing, look in the face to the totality and be one with it, be that. Not the flow or the becoming, the absolute, the nature of reality, the reality itself. Then it closes but the flow is permeated of its life, it's clarity, it's beauty. So you see clearly that everything is pale, black and white, if your perception is opaque. It's not defining the reality as infinite, god or anything, is be open to it's nature as much as is possible, then the self can be burned by the fire of the real thing. It's not that the self is false, it's that it's like a interface. It's impossible being without self unless you equalize the interface so much that the absolute or call it whatever is transparent, then you have like mystic experiences then you think... maybe the self is dissapearing, it's just the totality flowing, there is no difference in some moments. Maybe in some point it's so transparent that there is no "self", just a minimalist structure that almost doesn't occupy place and the totality that you are is totally open all the time. But little by little because there are opaque points , it's a natural process that moves in its rhythm, like anything else. It's impossible to force it, just perceive as clear as you can, without lies, ideas, traps, etc
  11. In my opinion one of the problems with spirituality is these kinds of ideas. You are the tree; there is no separate self. Perceived reality is an illusion. Consciousness is the foundation of reality. Let's see, you are the tree, but it's better to cut down the tree than to have your leg chopped off, right? So these kinds of statements are confusing. Another: the self is an illusion; you are creating your suffering; you can stop doing that. Let's see, the self is an illusion; therefore, you (the self) are creating your suffering, and you (the self) can stop doing that. Well bit contradictory right?......and creating it? How do you create it? If, for example, when you're 8 years old, your mother is tortured in your presence, you create suffering?. Or does your genetic structure create it, relating to a circumstance that occurs? You could say that everything is you. And then claim that there is not you. What's the point of that mess? Just contradictory concepts that are absolutely useless, worse than useless, a trap. Why deny reality? That's not going to work. Spirituality is above all denial and religion. Buddhism and Advaita assume that reincarnation is a fact. How do they know this? Their entire discipline aims to achieve a better reincarnation, or, if possible, nirvana. cause and effect, future achievement. escapism. self-deception. We can articulate a spirituality without all that bullshit. But to achieve that we have to look directly without mercy. It's not a matter of narcissism, it's about truth.
  12. Then there is duality between reality and illusion. Do you know where this comes from? From the meditative Buddhist tradition. According to it, you have to force the mind to stop, since its movement is an error; it's falsehood. Silence, on the other hand, is truth. This way, you reach a silent state in which you repress the psyche and, with it, suffering. This is normally supported by the idea of reincarnation. Whoever cuts off their mind in this way usually does so in search of a better future, even if they won't admit it, even to themselves: better reincarnation or nirvana (I'm not saying that it's your case). Given the obvious duality of stillness and movement, it is affirmed that movement doesn't exist, and thus the problem is solved. But movement exist. Calling it illusion is meaningless imo
  13. Its not a Belief, or a Disbelief, its just an openness to it. we are not limited to believing or disbelieving, we can also just be open to a different possibility, and thru trial and error we find out, I don't know if I'll ever be able to find out for sure if the atoms in my body are in communication/connection with every other atom in existence but who knows eh? With reincarnation, some physical verification of some form can via a show I was watching with Neil Degrasse Tyson , in it he said within our DNA is the DNA of a flower, a bee, tree, and so forth, so if that is so it sort of confirms in a physical way our history thru this existence, if the dna of other life is within Us then maybe we were it in a previous life time??
  14. Reincarnation is a human beings hope to live more. But this is the end. No more life, heaven etc... We come from nothing, we go back to nothing, which is what We are. How you gain the knowledge of your birth, death is surrendering of it, which is end of all desires, pleasures, pains etc... If you believe in that and happy about it, that's great 😊 I don't want to destroy your hope and goals 😊
  15. I want to convince him out of his belief that Hitler was a leftist because in a way I want to demonstrate to myself that all the inner work that I've done can materialize itself by being able to correct somebody out of his self deception. To me it is a matter of life and death the Nazism subject! And people like TIK threaten my survival by being so wrong that he believes Bernie Sanders is the reincarnation of Hitler! Look, the reason it threatens my survival is because people won't know how to avoid electing the next Hitler because of people like TiK! Putin's fascist army is at 500 km away of my house, all my friends hate and demonize Ukraine and want it to lose and surrender to Putin, all the alternative media is filled with propaganda that demonizes the EU and Ucraine, and when comes election time and Putin wants to put a puppet far right president and government in my country, because of people like TiK, people would believe that the opponent of the far right candidate is the actual nazi because the opponent is a progressive! I am really scared for my life, for real!
  16. @Sugarcoat your aware its happening. Imagine you wake up in the morning and there's nothing there but you know there's nothing there and you just sit there. You can still think you can still emote. Its like your ears plugged, eyes sewn shut ,mouth sewn shut, body tied together you cant move but you know you are there. Then you go to sleep after 16 hours and experience the same thing nothing. Then you wake up and you experience everything sewn shut again then go to sleep wake up over and over for infinite time. Forever not 100 years not 1000 years more than 1 million years. Its so long you lose concepts of everything and just cry out for experience. Its like I have no mouth but want to scream I have no eyes but want to see i have no ears but want to hear i have no body but want to move. I'm by myself but want other people. If you came out of death you would want the horrible reincarnation over death. You would beg for it. You would say please God I want to experience something.
  17. Humanity was designed to be deliberately unfair. Human life (reincarnation) is portrayed as intentionally difficult, filled with scarcity, suffering, and unfulfilled desires (e.g., lack of relationships, material struggles, physical limitations). The spirit world, in contrast, is described as a place where desires are easily fulfilled, manifesting anything (love, abundance, experiences) in a way that feels just as real as physical existence. I think the spiritual realm is a dream existence or manifestation of our physical realm.
  18. Im not saying this is the only way of how to live life, we can live life in other ways due to our free will, but I would say this is a way and a pretty good way. It does make me wonder though, why is it that when we reincarnate as a human, we very often almost have nothing of what we want or not nearly enough of it, then when we pass on to the other side (spirit world), it switches to the inverse to where we can have basically EVERYTHING we want and have always wanted. I'm thinking it was intentionally designed this way for a reason, to first have almost nothing (as a human), and then to have almost everything (in the spirit world). Also this is only referring to spirits that reincarnate or incarnates, which would also be us humans. Okay, I always wonder, in this life as reincarnating as a human, it’s hard as hell. As a guy, I can’t seem to attract a girlfriend at all and I’m suffering from intense touch starvation. I haven’t had a girlfriend in so many years, and a female hasn’t touched me in so long. Physically this does hurt. I might live the rest of my life like this. But this does get me wondering, maybe life as reincarnating as a human is supposed to be this ridiculously hard and unfair, then when we die physically, we can go off into the spirit world, and it’s in the spirit world is where we can be able to have and experience all the things that we couldn’t have here as a human. And it can if we want to be just as realistic and physical as it is here in the physical world, so then we can really experience in spirit world what we couldn’t experience in the physical world. Then this also got me thinking, maybe the proper way on how to live life as reincarnating as a human and then out in the spirit world, is both of the selfless and of the selfish. Which is that when you reincarnate as a human, God wants us to have selflessness, with a small amount of selfishness, that’s why it’s so hard to get things we want as a human. To get women, to get intimacy, to have money, to have shelter, to have food, to be cared for, heck even a decent functioning body can be hard to get, etc. it’s almost as if God intentionally designed the reincarnation world this way to be so hard, mean, and cruel, to make it really hard to get the things we want, so then we can enter more into a state of selflessness rather than selfishness. Which is that when you're intensely suffering over a period of time of not receiving the thing you want, this invokes a sense of compassion in you and gratitude and joy for the little amount of things you have. You feel compassion for others who are also suffering in the mud, you want to help them because deep down you don’t want them to feel the same pain you experienced. Then after we die and go into the spirit world, God then wants us to have selfishness, with a small amount of selflessness. And so then the world that we go into, it’s really eeeeeasy to get everything we want, to easily manifest it all. I can go into other worlds, have armies of harems of the most beautiful women all for me and fulfill all my desires, all the food I want to experience, the biggest mansion I want to live in, the most incredible vast adventures to explore and go on with the most awesome group of friends, and of course if we want it can be just as physically real as if we were human on Earth to make the experience more exciting and interesting. This is where God wants us to also enter more into a state of selfishness, with a small amount of selflessness. Yes God wants his children to help and be there for others, but it would be foolish to ONLY help others and completely disregard yourself, God also wants his children to enjoy themselves as well. This I believe is the great balance between both worlds, the world of the selfless which is Hell (to create great pain and suffering amongst ourselves to help evolve reality to be more in an state of giving). And the world of the selfish which is Heaven (to create great rest and enjoyment amongst ourselves to help evolve reality to be more in a state of receiving). When these two worlds are happening simultaneously, it allows reality to work in harmony of both giving and receiving, this I think would then be a perfect balance that God wants his children to be in. Of course there are variations, there are humans on earth that are mostly selfish, and there are human spirits in the spirt world that are mostly selfless, this is okay as we can choose this from our free will, but if we follow this basic framework of selflessness and selfishness, this allows both sides to be balanced and is great for our spiritual evolution. Its like the yin and yang, both sides are the inverse, but each side has a little bit of the other side. One side is light, but it has a little bit of dark, and other side is dark but has a little bit of light. Thus I’m thinking this actually would be one excellent framework of how to live life, in both reincarnating as a human, and then living life in the spirit world. Also I say, "with a little bit of selfishness" or "with a little bit of selflessness", because in each world you should still have a little bit of other. If your reincarnating on earth, yes you mostly spending your time helping others, but you should still spend sometime for self too, maybe theres an amazing movie you like to watch or a game you like to play. And vice in the spirit world, yes your spending your time getting everything you want, but spend some time to help others along the way as well. Also I wanna add, which pretty much includes all of us here, the ones that are spending their time learning, expanding their awareness, understanding, and wisdom, whether that be from meditation, books, videos, talking to others, etc, this counts as an act of selflessness. Because by expanding our own wisdom, even if we're doing this alone, this feeds into the human collective consciousness, and thereby helps to raise the overall wisdom of all other humans (we're all connected to the human collective consciousness). What do you guys think? Also if im wrong about something or wrong about all of it, pls let me know lol. Im open to hearing all responses.
  19. Warning: this is depressive you may not have the friends you'd like, the family you'd like, the health you'd like, the job you'd like, not being able to attract the people you are attracted to, not have the features you'd like, not living in a place you'd like, not having the experience you'd like, the money or respect you'd like. Add the suffering if you live in bad enviroment or/and bad people or have health problems, or mental illness. And then even if everything goes great maybe you are getting older and all the fun is gone, all the beauty is gone, all the hormones are gone, all the health and power is gone. Or there are young people that experienced everything fun and now there is no novelty, the same routine everyday. And all the desires we have that we never get them, and our souls cry that we don't have what we want. Even if you meditate and eliminate most desires, still you have no fun, you are just neutral I see people that have important things that I don't have and I want to cry. Why they have everything and I have nothing. Even them aren't nessecary happy but I suppose there is a tiny minority that is extremely happy and have everything. I don't want them to be sad, I just want to be happy like them. I am sad. I don't see any way out. My cope in life was philosophy, now that I don't find philosophy fun any more and don't want to think so much anymore, I no longer have anything to live for. I try to do art but I am very very bad at it so the fun isn't there. I don't know why should I keep living anymore. I really wish there is an afterlife cause I really want to go there(and pray it will be a good one, maybe with a lot of fun and happiness). I almost get happy thinking that there maybe some new life if things end. Maybe it's better this way. But I don't know even if reincarnation is real although I tend to believe it is, still I am not sure. I am just breathing, I am not living. Do you ever feel like life is not worth living?
  20. It's basically the story of my "mentor"; he was quite disgusted by life, its brutality unfairness etc and wanted to use spirituality as a way of understanding always more and possibly never come back to earth; now he basically capitulated become more of a "normie". Some spiritual school including buddhism for exemple say we can stop "samsara wheel", reincarnation process or at least transcend forever the limits of the ego but idk if it's true.
  21. Raising a successful family is one of the most primal proven paths to not only life fulfilment but also positive spiritual growth through building positive karma. Ensuring that you get a better reincarnation next time leaving this world better than what you found it. This path has been around since forever and to spit on it calling it a "sugary orange colored artificially flavored drink" is disgusting. Given that there are some things about the normie lifestyle that are indeed artificial. But your post didn't point that out.
  22. Leo, what do you think about reincarnation and the "soul's journey"?
  23. Part 7 I remember being around 7 yrs old and having a very clear feeling:"I came here with a purpose. And something amazing awaits me in the future". It wasn't in a form of a thought. It was in a form of a deep inner knowing.That feeling wasn't just an idea. It was a profound certainty that lived inside of me. I remembered about it only couple of years ago. I am curious to find out what this purpose is. I remember being between 9 and 11. I would sit in a position people do for meditation. I would close my eyes. And I could feel myself changing my own shape. Like I could feel myself being small and big at the same time. And then I would feel myself beeing every size in between. From a single grain of sand to a planet and beyond. And the coolest thing about it was that i was the size of all of that at the same time. And it felt so cool and weird. It always made me laugh or smile. I remember being 13 and sitting in front of my bro's computer. I had a feeling that there is some kind of divine orchestration at play, a mysterious order behind everything. But i didn't really know how to describe it. I wanted to search something about it on the internet, but i couldn't put it into words. I really wanted to know what I was feeling. I wanted to find it. I wanted to know more. It was like a deep ache.Like: "arhggg, what is ittt????". So I put into a search bar something like "Balance in cosmos", hoping it would lead me somewhere. But I didn't find anything i was feeling. I was looking for books on the internet and I saw some books about the soul. I remember imagining how one day I would have money to buy those books and discover something profound. How one day I will find the answer. When I was 15, I discovered a video of Terence McKenna on youtube, talking about DMT and describing it as a spirit/god molecule. It was my first time hearing about psychedelics. I immediately felt I had stumbled upon something profound, something I was destined to explore. Hoping that someday it will happen for me. I remember being 15-16 years old and thinking about my future. I thought:"Maybe I could become a monk in the future?". I also was drawn to Japan since I found out about it (when I was 9-10). And to Japanese language. When I was 17 I had a random out-of-body experience. I remember being in the room and seeing objects that were on the shelfs moving by themselves and a plant fell off the shelf by itself. And also every object didn't look the same anymore. I mean it didn't look as physical or solid as usually. It was kinda hazy or ethereal or made of energy or projected, i don't really know how to describe it. And suddenly I saw a hatchway appear on the ceiling and opening. I saw the sky through it and I saw golden light pouring down from that hatchway. And it felt like it was welcoming me to enter it and explore. But i was scared. I knew nothing back then about OBEs or astral projection and lucid dreaming. So i tried to get back into the body, i was slapping my own face and trying to get in the body. Although now I wish i would go there and explore. When I was 19 I was drawn to information about Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming. I was fascinated by it. I started reading articles i could find on the internet and I knew it was something that i should explore. One day I was drawn to watch a video named "instant third eye stimulation". I was drawn to meditate also. I would do it for 5 minutes a day for 4-7 days before sleep. And after that interesting things started to happen to me. I had couple of OBEs but again i was so scared that i would stop it and I regret it now. I was super lucid and it always seemed more real than the life i am living now. Almost every night I would go to a different reality or dimension. I saw different beings. I saw a planet with a purple atmoshpere and I knew I lived there before. I was flying around that planet, it was my home in a different life but then suddenly I saw another planet approaching. It collided with the one I was on. And the impact caused it to split in half. From its core a massive golden DNA stand emerged- as big as the planet itself- and from it golden symbols began to fly out into the space. Every night i was in a different reality. I once was in a dimension where I met "my" teacher/mentor. Not from this life but somehow I knew that once he was my teacher. It was a chinese man. Old. With a long white beard (like 2-3 meters long). He approached me and gave me the book. It was a huge book with thousands of pages. He told me:"If you can understand this book--You will understand Existence itself". I went through the book. Through every page and it was completely empty. Once I saw one of my past lives. I was a Japanese woman and I had a daughter. We lived in a tall building. I came up to the window and saw an atomic bomb in the sky, my daughter was near me. In just a moment after seeing the bomb i got into reincarnation menu and chose spanish language and became a little 5 year old girl in some kind of a spanish village during a war. I remember sitting inside of a ruined house. in front of me on the floor was a newspaper and on it ears and fingers i could find to eat. Oh and once I was flying through a cosmic tunnel like the one on the picture. I suddenly got aware that i am flying through a cosmic tunnel and after the realization i felt energy appear in the bottom of my spine. As i was flying further the energy was intensifying and suddenly it shoot from the bottom of my spine to my head. It was so intense that it made me jump out of bed during the night. But during that time I also got addicted to a dirty substance and my travelling to different realities stopped and i wasn't able to access it since 2020. in 2021 i was able to brake my addiction because overdoses got more frequent and I had a strong feeling that the next time i do it I will die. So that's how I was able to quit.But after I stopped it didn't come back to me, my ability to travel between realities. But on the other hand I also didn't do anything for it to come back. Also couple of years ago I had a past life regression session and I found out that I was a Japanese monk before. I remember feeling lonely. Maybe that's why I am so drawn to Japan and to learn japanese language. One day in the future I would like to live in Japan for couple of years.
  24. Everybody is scrambling about. Moving on in life. Doing things, being a certain way. Worried about this and that - just to die. We fight and kill each other - just to die. We have to keep this thing moving so we invent stories like reincarnation, previous lives and future lives. We can't accept that there's just one life and that's it. Even if it means, not knowing in the next life that you were here before. What's the point in believing in reincarnation if you won't even know that you've been reincarnated. This life is where reincarnation matters, not the next. It has to be a thing now or it doesn't matter to the believer. The only way reincarnation is of any value to those who believe in it, is if it's believed in in the present life. If not, it's of no value. I die and come back but I don't know of my previous life, what good is that. They say some remember their previous lives. The same person will say there is no time and space. The same person will say they are God. The same person will say it's God living through all the lives. The same confused person will say life is a dream. The same neurotic person will say death is an illusion. The same delusional psychopath will say, there's only the present moment. There's at least one person right now that believes all of these things at the same time. That they are God, reincarnation is real, time and space are illusions, life is a dream, God is living through all lives and that death is an illusion. All of that held as a belief simultaneously. If you challenge those beliefs, they'll be able to come up with more believable stories to match up with that and challenge some more, even more bizarre stories that you yourself may start to believe because they sound so good and believable. You'll start to doubt your own stupid beliefs. You'll start to doubt who the fuck you are when they're done with you. You'll be asking for anyone with a course on the matter. You'll take a class and watch all the yt videos you can find on reincarnation, time and space and dreams and God. You'd be more confused than you were before it all started. You'd be searching out quotes from the bearded man on the throne or the dead guy that everyone worships and whose body is filled with maggots and bones eating itself. That's who you'll entrust your spirituality to and now form another belief system when you tire of the existing ones. It's the fucking cycle and goose whipping, tail chasing of this thing called spirituality you'll end up in and will not know your ass from your front by the time it's done with you. I just love me some life. It's so fucking filled with drama and that's how I got here to begin with from nothing. Who wants to be nothing forever. That's dull and boring. Give me something, please, even if it's a fucking lie and a fucking dream. At least i can feel fucking alive. Doesn't matter if I'm swimming in a pool of nonsense, I just want to feel alive. No one cares that they didn't ask to come here, everyone just wants to feel alive. Something outta nothing is better than nothing itself.
  25. What virtually all people think is themselves (the gross ego-mind self) is not what reincarnates. What you think is you must die before anything resembling reincarnation can happen. But once you have died, somebody might at some point recall a memory of the life you just had (and a concatenation of lives before that). They might also identify themselves with this "subtle body" that stretches across lifetimes. But if you are currently afraid of death or you worry a lot about what is happening your life right now, you are not identifying with it, so dying will feel like true death to you. But as far as you know right now, you've never not experienced, so you have no indication of that stopping. But also, that which always experiences (Consciousness) most people don't usually identify with either (if they did, they would recognize themselves as eternal regardless of what happens after physical death).
