Reincarnation happens probably. Because before you were born, you were in the same state as you are after you're dead. And from that state you were born, and if it could happen once, why not again? And time doesn't pass for the dead, so you could be unconscios for an eternity and not feel any time having passed at all.

@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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Because what exactly the thing that reincarnates? The body? The soul? The self? The Self? The awareness? The ego? All? Some? What??? Because as a matter of observable fact the body decays into dust and rot alright?.. Once your physical body dies it just dissolves into it's essential elements and just evaporates in nature.. Gets diffused into the soil etc. So that's that. What is it exactly that reincarnates then because obviously it's not the body? The self? There is no self "inside "the body lol !. The body is inside the" Self". There is no ghost inside the machine. What you really have is a machine inside the ghost lol. The self (ego) is a negative hole that appears as a consequence (byproduct) of entanglement of thoughts.. perceptions.. feelings etc. It's a misidentification really. It's a negative.. not an existing entity onto itself. So there is no self to reincarnate. IMO reincarnation is no different from Abrahamic religion's notions of hell and heaven.. Both have ZERO evidence!. As for karma as an evidence that supports reincarnation.. Well it's simply that for each up there is a down and for each action there is a reaction. You throw up a ball in the sky.. It falls down in the opposite direction taking the exact time that it took to reach the highest peak to fall from it into the ground. That's karma. The universe is already at perfect balance. There is no need for reincarnation to achieve balance as if balance could be lost to begin with. Balance is already the case. It's inconceivable that something unbalanced could even exist! And if you look at it from a pantheistic worldview.. You are already living inside every creature in this planet.. So at the moment that you are beheading a chicken you are the chicken that's being beheaded and the human who is beheading it simultaneously. Karma is instant.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I believe in reincarnation and karma as per your video @Leo Gura but my question is: Does moral living affect being reborn into "higher or lower" states [as we're led to believe in the likes of buddhism?] Leo, have your beliefs and opinions changed at all about karma and rebirths, kindly share if so Hope your well teacher

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.

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.

If infinite reincarnation is really true, there should be an infinite number of hell realms. My question is - would you be able to choose which realm you exist in as God, or are you simply cycling through all of infinity ad nauseum? If God has to experience everything that exists and there are infinite realms, most of which being inconvenience to a human mind, it should have to go through actual hell, whatever that looks like. My thoughts are that you could choose an "infinite" number of non-hell dreams since you are the author of reality and you can do whatever you want. I guess this is a question of whether God reincarnates through every possible variation of infinity or if it's just what God wants for an infinite time span. Maybe hell would only exist if God truly wanted to experience it.

Well my "Holy Bible" is my NDE page that I follow over 10years and it's most scientific as it can be and it's very rigorous, and God is so complex, there is everything there, karma, past lifes, life reviews, Holy Trinity, Christians dies and they discover that reincarnation is real, total atheists and suicide victims got unconditional love from God, aliens, there are also darker and horrible realms everything that you can imagine or not. But that is what God is. Everything. But I ground myself in this reality with Christian mysticism and Buddhism, my point is, for me karma is just another word for God nothing else, every religion has its flaws, but for Buddism and reincarnation is for me most fascinating thing is how they find next Dalai Lama, next Rinponche, next Tulchu, they developed the system over centuries and they literally find a babies (like finding a needle in a haystack) out of nowhere, and present them with objects from past life real and fake and they choose correctly 100% of time, there must be something in it.....maybe I'm off topic sorry.... Just my two cents.....

I am an agnostic type who believes in some sort of scientific reincarnation. If your consciousness arises from seemingly nothing, it would be preposterous to claim you couldn't be reborn again after death. I do not believe there is anything intrinsically special about human consciousness. I think we are just more advanced versions of other animals. Anyways, something has been troubling me as of late. I believe that due to me being reborn an infinite amount of times, one day I will experience extreme torture. I keep watching those infographics videos about being boiled alive or the brazen bull torture method, and I can't wrap my head around why a loving deity would allow this to happen. What is the purpose of putting people through torture. I keep researching the topic and reassuring myself that the pain wouldn't last long. I don't fear death or any other emotional pain. The only thing I fear insanely is extreme physical pain. Furthermore, I understand why pain is necessary in life. If you don't have pain, you can't feel pleasure. Regardless, the fact that a human can be boiled alive is extremely disturbing. Why can this exist in the grand scheme of things? What do you guys think?

You don’t even know if there’s reincarnation. So maybe this here is all you get.

I sometimes think to myself ok maybe my life is bad and occasionally I get suicidal thoughts but imagine how much more worse another reincarnation can be in the next lifetime (if there’s such a thing), like medieval torture chamber victim. Who knows what can happen so better not speed it up. Infinity is creative 😂

Sure. But it would make sense that you would tend to reincarnate as something similar or in a similar place from lifetime to lifetime. Maybe we have all reincarnated as plants at some point, but now we are testing the human experience. This is especially likely if you consider that there are people who report "choosing" their incarnation because it felt like the right one (and also others being quite deliberate about which womb they wanted to be born in). And their choice would be based on their previous lessons and experiences. But just purely naturalistically as well, irrespective of individual desires, if reincarnation does follow some pattern and is not purely random (which if you believe randomness is just an epistemic concept like me, nothing is), you could expect a similar trend (nature/reality has a habit of building on existing themes: e.g. phylogenetic evolution, ontogenetic development, fractals). I'm actually fascinated by the life cycles of leaves on trees. Right now, in the end of April in my country, the leaves on some of the trees make me think of (and bare with me for being creepy) fourteen year olds, i.e. silky smooth skin, like that of a young child, sort of small but definitely growing, and barely showing signs of maturity. I think you could map the life cycles of leaves onto the life cycle of humans and you could find interesting overlaps.

The one thing I have to say about reincanation is that it is not a given that you will come back as a human! Or that you come back to earth! You could reincarnate as a fish on a planet made 100% of water in another galaxy! I'm 100% sure this would be the case if reîncarnation is indeed happening after death, because god doesn't have a favourite species! Also you could reincarnate as a plant! God is too infinite to only reincarnate himself only in one species like humans! God has no human bias or agenda!

The gnostics were a group of early Christians who wrote the gnostic gospels (not included in the Bible) including the gospel of Thomas and the gospel of Mary Magdalene. They believed the world was created by a false God called the Demiurge. Jesus was sent by the real God to liberate us from the world created by the Demiurge. The fact that Buddhists and Gnostics came up with essentially the same idea (Samsara / Demiurge reincarnation trap) , to me, gives the idea some credibility, I think the idea of avoiding the white light is a new age spinoff of Gnosticism . I think it started with Robert Monroe (who coined the term out of body experience). During his astral projection trips he met an entity who told him that Earth is a "Loosh farm" (basically soul energy) created by demonic entities . I think some other people who had NDE's came up with the idea of avoiding the white light, some of them had met entities on the other side who told them that the white light is the entrance to the "soul trap" imprisoning us on Earth.

@Carl-Richard your epistemology sucks ass .let the whole dam world do all the science and philosophy and spirituality on me Trying convincing me of afterlife whether in the reincarnation sense or the day of judgment sense..and all of that doesn't worth a pinny . You only discover what death is when you die . The end .

There is no dream. It's a story. Stories and dreams are identical. The I is the dream. No I no dream. There is no actual I. Reality isn't dreaming because there actually is no reality. Reincarnation is a story. An idea. A concept. A person recalling a past life is memory "memorying". There's no one already to have a past life. There's no life right now. It's all stories and beliefs and constructs. Point to reality. You'll be pointing to a car, a bird, a tree, a house, a mountain, a star, a moon, etc. Reality is in the mind and the mind is thoughts continuity of itself and you've attached yourself to all this and now there's a world you live in and a life being lived by you. That's the dream. It's not happening. The death of you is the death of the dream. No you, no dream. No dream, no stories of reincarnation. IT'S ALL STORIES.
