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.

Fascinating spiritual stories series. Sit back and enjoy.

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 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.

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.....

Leo stated several times that we have to live trough every single human life, animal, organism or other entities after our own death or awekening? But why cant God be content with its awekend state and „stay“ so? Because imagine all the suffering you have to go trough each time to only see that you are God and after a time you will go to sleep and repeat that for eternity.

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.

Why fear death? I get if someone is afraid of hell, because that would be scary asf, or some bad reincarnation (that has been my fear as a child), but void, nothingness, everlasting sleep, why would that be scary? Think about it, is it ever scary to fall asleep? No , then death (if it’s like that) won’t be scary. If you believe in reincarnation then that could even be positive, so the things you miss in this life might happen in your next life? Yay . lol just some thoughts.

Reincarnation is a belief system, and the collective ego consciousness a.k.a agent smith, will make for you the illusion and spiritual experience of reincarnation.

You must have committed big sins. And if reincarnation is also true, you will be fucked because your next life will be more miserable than your present one.

I believe in some form of reincarnation too. And the people remembering past lives support that. I am also open to the idea of there being other forms of life, in other places or maybe even pararell realms What you’re trying to understand might be one of the hardest tasks because you’re dealing with reality on fundamental level. But it might be possible to find out still. Relative truths are worth exploring! It’s very fascinating!

The Ultimate Desire is too be Unbounded or Totally Free, this is Liberation or Moskha, where Your merged with Absolute, or some say higher up realms, so yes this is mostly about Absolute Realization, reincarnation I would say is just a cycling program to allow it too happen over a longer period of time for this sort of expression of life as we know it too be... How all of this is happening is a mystery for Me, my only conclusion is that its a program of sorts to allow Potential as we know to be expressed here based on our laws of physics and how our reality is set up, it could be completely different somewhere else in another reality of sorts!

What do you mean to discover here: the Absolute (understanding God), or whether reincarnation is the case? Because those are two different endeavors. I think you're talking about the Absolute, but the topic is investigating reincarnation, so that's confusing.

There are also tons of cases where ppl have already developed skills in certain areas, as well as well with twins lets say brought up in the same environment with the same DNA growing up to be different individuals, not saying Environment doesn't have a role to play in how we are, it does but ones consciousness level plays a more significant role I would say.. Reincarnation is just a recycling, sooner or later one will come to the Truth of it, it can be done within One lifetime or a span of 80yrs which is nothing compared to thousands upon thousands of lifetimes, if this is what one wants there are established systems in place to facilitate this, but individualism and ego rule in today's day and age, so ppl want to try to figure it out on their own, like reinventing the wheel, lol, its stupid but free will is what makes us what we are!!!

I believe reincarnation is true — and also agree that it is a relative truth. There are well studied cases of people remembering past lives in extreme details. But I also think that reincarnation doesn't necessarily have to be bound to Earth, that someone's consciousness could choose to keep evolving, after a life on Earth, in a different world or reality, such as in a non-physical reality. I wish to understand in great detail how God/Consciousness proceeds to divide itself and create realities and independent conscious beings. I understand at the Absolute level how it is possible, but a lot of pieces are missing to precisely know its design. It's like I understand how a skyscraper can be build, but I don't master how all the parts are put together to make it stand perfectly. I also wish to understand who we are and what we experience when we are not limited to a human life like this one. I think this avatar is just a tiny part of ourselves, and that we will expand back to our higher, vaster consciousness once we die. That's such an interesting topic, even if it is part of the relative domain.

Why couldn’t infinity create something seemingly limited? It works if the limit is illusion that’s my thought Yea I wrote the same argument here, that enlightenment can’t end reincarnation because it would have already happened if we assume eternity I don’t get it
