Rant: I have to congratulate you on actually engaging with your own question, many on the forum make a post but don't bother to actually engage with the answers. Rant over. I suppose you could look at it from the other end. What does being gullible involve? Such a person would take anything they're told to be true. They will go about their day acting as if X fact is suddenly now true. Maybe they believe they're God, or that they'll reincarnate when they die, or that the world will end in 2027, or that eating peppers is bad for the gut, or that you can survive on air alone and so on. Maybe all of those things at once. Applying your heuristic, then you could fairly say that the aforementioned are all wrong, and you'll then need to wait patiently for proof of each of them to come along (or look for proof proactively). Some things you may never know until it actually happens, for example the end of the world, effectively making the belief unfalsifiable - you can neither say it's right nor wrong, and you can't take a position at all (logically). If you do proactively look for proof, then you're admitting a more neutral position: why waste your effort if it couldn't possibly be true? I think it's this that you're arguing not wasting time on. My point then was that discernment works better than proof. If a belief is unfalsifiable, then you just move on, and cut the potential BS at the root. If you do have a modicum of belief then your discernment should kick in first. For example, is reincarnation real? Well, you have to look at the numbers of reports of it compared to the number of people in the world (or who have ever lived), hmm it's probably BS, since that ratio is near zero. Another example, do mobile phones give you brain cancer? That's less clear, but you can still be discerning, i.e. radio waves don't travel well in water, and your brain is mostly water, it's probably BS then. In short most of us have some ability to discern things and judge whether something is true or not. Gullible people just choose not to be so discerning, they want to be believe, because it's exciting or through wish fulfilment or it makes some sort of sense, or they just "know" it's right. They are actively guillible (if not consciously so).

Does reincarnation exist? -
Inliytened1 replied to integral's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
They'd be dead.. so..obviously... That's optimistic but not always the case. Noted though. I like to be a optimistic that someone can be redeemed. I do not believe all people deserve the death penalty. Again Reincarnation is imaginary and held within this dream. You are God dreaming all that there is right now. Nothing else exists because all of reality can be held within this moment of existence. All notions of souls and souls returning. Etc. -

@puporing maybe..how would you know..you are a separate God Mind. Anyway - don't wish to derail...but i shall ask you to explain how souls and Reincarnation plays a role in your view on the death penalty and whether you support it or not? -
I’m looking for direct and thoughtful answers to a few key questions about suicide, death, and what might come next. My aim is to strike at the core of these topics and get clarity. 1. What Happens After Death? Is it possible to return to "pure positive awareness," where there’s no resistance, need, or pain, only wholeness and joy? Or is death shaped by unresolved beliefs, leading to chaotic, illusory afterlife experiences? Are near-death experiences, spiritual teachings (e.g., Abraham Hicks, Bashar, David Hawkins), and other accounts reliable, or could they just be ego-driven hallucinations? 2. Suicide vs. Natural Death: Does suicide lead to a different afterlife experience than dying naturally? Does the intent behind death matter in shaping what happens next? Are there consequences or “karmic debts” for suicide, or is it just another form of transition? 3. Vibrations and Beliefs at Death: Do one’s beliefs or emotions at the moment of death determine their immediate afterlife experience? If so, how can someone shift their vibration to avoid “negative” outcomes like chaotic or hell-like states? 4. Choosing Death and Reincarnation: If life is chosen before birth, can death also be chosen? Can one align themselves with a peaceful exit and avoid future reincarnation altogether? Is it possible to fully escape the cycle of birth, death, and suffering, or is reincarnation unavoidable until “enlightenment”? 5. Ending the Experience Permanently: Does suicide provide a permanent end to the human experience, or does it simply lead to a new cycle of suffering in another form or life? How does one ensure they do not reincarnate or return to physical existence after deat?

Abstract expressions and afterthought leftovers at tangential angles Basis of religions are pointing towards something higher. From physical dimension towards metaphysical or transcendence. …. How can something eternal be formed from a human birth? Reincarnation addresses this riddle which is perhaps a stumbling block for strict adherents of Christian Fundamentalism. Can you get over being angry by someone telling you— “Now don’t be angry .” That doesn’t work very well, does it? What do we usually do? Deny it. I’m not angry,,,, or pretend (tell ourself) I’m not angry at all. If we say, we’ll,,,, maybe a little bit. That’s when cracks appear in the dam. Wait for it. Wait for it,,,, Goddamn you motherfucker,,, I’m gonna Kill you,,,, Look what you did to me. Blah Blah blah,, word vomit,,,, This is kind of the extreme end of the spectrum but haven’t we all been here before? This childish attitude of reactivity,,, What humbles us in a permanent way? And how permanent is another question I’ve encountered. Can you really practice ruthless self-observation and observe your failures and justifications? Can you see how ridiculous you really are? Have a nice day.😀

The reincarnation cycle, samsara, is a prison and is not a limited place. -
Genuinely curious how these mechanics interact with each other. And what if they are at play, they ultimately mean.

Buddhism tells you to detach yourself from everything. This is the only way to openness to the absolute, without this it is impossible because attachment closes, thats a reality . The problem is that we all have a lot of attachment, and we should not break the attachment, it is very difficult and unappetizing, boring. What is possible is to see through the attachment for a few moments, to open your being to the infinite. To do this without drugs you would have to go to a cave for 35 years. I personally don't feel like doing that. But just small doses of drugs are enough if you already have broken your structure with 5 meo sometimes, then 5 ug of LSD and 1 puff of weed is enough and very powerful Anyway, well continuing with Buddhism. says that the purpose of making this opening and opening your being to the absolute is to end suffering and break the wheel of reincarnation. This could also be true in some ways. What we are is a karmic construction, layers of karma, under those layers is the absolute. If you become one with the absolute, you are already one with the absolute, there is no more karma. It seems that at this point "something" happens, which is "nirvana." I would say this is also true. Nirvana is the opening to the absolute, but this is where Buddhism limits itself. Nirvana for him is the absence of suffering and the essential emptiness of reality. but reality is not empty, that is impossible, limited. reality is full, it is total life, absolute creative power. How can what opens to absolute love, to total flow, to living infinity, be empty? Buddhism ends where the real game begins. Buddhism says: reality is illusion, it is an unreal, empty hologram, a dead image. Not so, this is a dead perspective. the absolute is absolutely alive, that is the real opening. the bottomless well that lives. what is inside your heart, the absolute nuclear reactor, the total power, the unimaginable, the immeasurable, overwhelming, total: you -

I first identify the people that I feel are sincere, qualified to comment and are agents of the light. Then I listen to their analysis of the situation and that's about it. It's always very positive pro trump and anti kamala analysis. Vivek Ramaswamy is one example, his glory is blinding me. He's a reincarnation of some Indian sage 100%. Like that I came to the conclusion that what's happening right now is indeed a golden age for humanity. -

In a lot of cases, they dont preach about the same truth. Some suggest reincarnation , others dont. Some suggest heaven and hell, others dont. Some suggest multiple Gods, others just one God. And even that one God can be cashed out in so many different ways. The number of ways these things can be conceptualized and contextualized , is endless. -

very different, for example the Aztecs believed that the sun god would devour the world if he was not appeased by ripping out the hearts of thousands of victims, the Greeks thought that Zeus was fucking every woman who turned him on and playing practical jokes on some heroes just for fun, the Nordics believed that the gods loved war, the Christians believed that God loved peace, which is why they were the most warlike culture in history, and the Buddhists believed that the human being could achieve Buddhahood in this life and stop a supposed cycle of reincarnation. Native Americans believed that the great spirit permeated everything and everything was a manifestation of manitou, Africans believed in totems and fetishes, and black magic that could kill you from a distance, and Muslims believe that you should wipe your ass three times, always using your left hand. -
This obviously contradicts what Leo says. He claims that if you are murdered you stay in a dark limbo state after death for 1000+ years, same with suicide or any accidental death? Apparently the only safe why to die to assure a "rebirth" and not hell is to die in your sleep. Why does he say this? How would he know?

Before I get into the answer, let me clear up some misconceptions you might’ve absorbed through pop-culture. The soul as this ethereal transparent thing attached to your body that leaves your body when it dies is bollocks. Media depicts the soul in such a way as a story-telling device, and is not meant to be taken literally. This is a materialist depiction that still doesn’t answer how an immaterial mind can somehow emerge out of a physical substance. This depiction of the soul is just a substitute for the brain (a vessel that carries what makes you you) and is wholly incorrect. Quite simply, the soul is your immaterial immortal self; again, when I say immaterial, I’m not talking about this “transparent substance” like you see in the movies. That’s still material. By immaterial I mean the things you experience every day but overlay it with thoughts that it’s “all perception” and is “happening somewhere in the brain”. Also rubbish. Everything you see, everything you hear, etc is part of your soul. There are no soul(s) (plural), there is only THE soul, or the World Soul as some philosophers call it. This soul can’t go anywhere because it doesn’t exist in space-time, instead space-time is contained WITHIN the soul. So with that in place, let’s answer these questions one by one: Q: “Is the soul real?” A: Yes, with the caveat that ONLY the soul is real. Everything else are just ideas. Q: “How is it different from the life force within us? “ A: Life force/chi/energy exists within the astral-physical world and is more like one of God’s constructs/limitations that allow reality to run the way it is without breaking. Completely different concept. You learn more about it by delving into magick and energy work and other related practices. Q: “Is it possible to experience it?” A: You’re already experiencing it right now. Q: “Where does it go when the body dies?” A: Again, the soul is not attached to the body. It can’t go anywhere because it is reality itself. This universe is within the soul, not the other way around. Q: “Does it reincarnate? A: Possibly. But I’d let go of traditional religious dogma that describe the rules of this reincarnation. I’d also let go of the idea that you’d just reincarnate in the same universe with the same laws just perceiving life through a different body. God is infinite and so is his creativity. It might not even make sense for him to experience the same “universe” twice. -
I believe she is the reincarnation of the Indian Goddess Kali. She was on this forum to bring wisdom (through her chaos) to the members who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. ❤️

If everything is god's dream, time really doesn't really exist since god can dream the past, future, and everything else, and I( as god) I'm everything and everyone. All this makes me believe that reincarnation stuff really doesn't make sense.

The ego traverses the the gamut of forms. For example, blade-of-grass consciousness > tree consciousness > fish consciousness > reptile consciousness > human consciousness > superhuman consciousness > trans-human consciousness > God-consciousness. The ego thinks the answer to its own immortality lies in the direction of increasingly complex and convoluted distractions from the truth, which is that it isn't real, and never was. It will keep up this charade until it is entirely dissolved. Right now, you are identifying with your human body. Or perhaps, if you consider yourself "awakened to God consciousness", you are identifying with a different form. All such identification is an egoic effort to survive and to hide. To combat self-entropy, the ego builds ever-more sophisticated puzzle structures around itself. It is all a game of survival. Given a lifeline to prolong itself in a new form, it will grab it with both hands, day after day, "lifetime" after "lifetime". Many romanticise the idea of reincarnation, and think it is something desirable. Reincarnation is simply the ongoing attachment to form(s), which is the cause of all suffering.

I think he is the reincarnation of Peter Deunov, who died the same month his human 'avatar' was born and first around December 1944. And instead of MBT he had UWB. -

@Carl-Richard Do you believe in reincarnation? -
Breakingthewall replied to Blood is Life's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Let's assume the theory of reincarnation and karma, if that's okay with you. This means that after many cycles a structure of reality is created and grows in complexity and deepens in consciousness. An essential part of this process is suffering, which opens a dimension of depth that makes possible the ultimate realization, which a sheep or a tuna could not have. This does not mean that you or I have to seek suffering, but that it occurs as a crucible that expands the dimension of consciousness of a specific structure again and again, until it is ready to ascend to another level. If this has not happened, it does not matter what is done, because complete opening will be impossible. It does not depend on the will of the individual, but it occurs at the moment when the structure is mature, it is a natural cyclical process of reality that evolves by its own inertia. Suffering is perceived as bad, none of us want to be prisoners in a jail in congo, but it is necessary in the order of the cycles of reality. -
Stop this game of saying that I assume that stuff or something. I'm literally stating back to you what you claimed about reality and that its the same as what the other dude claimed, yet you have to denounce it all in some smuck way instead of actually discussing it. YOU are the one who claimed it. So why don't you explain why you claim infinite reincarnation instead of saying I am the one who assumes it.

But isn't reincarnation the same as saying; God will dream forever? From watching my own direct experience for 10 minutes I can see that all is impermanent and forms are ever changing. From this observation, plus the observation that consciousness is invincible and eternal (which i have observed) reincarnation would be the conclusion.

If you can see how to retrieve the information, there's a commonality of process. If you access the number one way the information about the nonphysical post-deaths states so and so connected to the physical is accessed the same way, it's the same principle. Remote viewing something inside the physical universe is not any different from remote viewing something outside the physical universe. Remote viewing a tree, and remote viewing what consciousness does after death, is the same thing. If you can see for yourself what happens in the incarnative process then you can see what happens, just like how you can see the physical world for yourself, you don't need to question if the physical world is "really happening" since obviously it's a process that's happening, the nonphysical part is just a larger context you can also directly observe to be true. Also a lack of reincarnation would be horribly inefficient and just not make any sense.

Reincarnation is a relative reality thing. It has got nothing necessarily to do with Awakening, like a toaster. You're like saying that zoology can't possibly exist, because the zoologist is not awake, or that toasters aren't real because the guy who designed or sold toasters is not awake. Or that chemicals aren't real because chemists are not awake. Saying that reincarnation is real is like saying trump is a devil. If you can actually scientifically, logically, or experientially fault any of Tom's knowledge on this then you would have a point. said The Devil. In this video he addresses the, "How do you think you can know that? You're just bullshitting and making shit up," accusation.

You probably just weren't putting in enough time. You could go in a totally dark room (really totally dark, total blackout) for three hours each time and gaze into the dark and watch for the phosphenes, which are probably purple at first. You pick them up, and can blow on them, and can scoop them into shapes and smear them all over your body. If you swing your arms in a specific direction you can see the colors on your arms, despite the pitch blackness. It creates echoes in the darkness, and goes into a non-temporal or hyper-temporal state, and you realize things about how humans could never realize this ever. You'll get third, fourth, and fifth arms. Once you get into real sorcery all movement creates magic. It's why Castaneda created this: yes, the main woman Kylie is scary and uncomfortable to look at, but it is what it is And Daniel Ingram puts in twelves hours per day on a retreat, using fire kasina, which is where you do trataka on a candleflame staring at it blinklessly, then shut eyes and go to the inner imagery, repeat. Telekinesis doesn't come from a spiritual power, it's like a "subtle-physical" thing. I know someone named John who took only a few days to verify it practicing fifteen minutes per day. That's a case of "genetics", but it's not the rational materialistic explanation of genetics explaining something supernatural but rather something supernatural like reincarnation or some identifying container of consciousness that explains the overall pattern which may include genetics. It's completely different from God-Consciousness or spirituality but could obviously correlate with it. The fastest way to telepathy is doing a half hour of mirror trataka where you read your own thoughts in the mirror. And then you read thoughts on other people's faces as a natural consequence.
