My whole existence is in the Mind of the Eternal. Everything else is counterfeit.

I have never personally had that feeling or memories or other personal indications, but from other research I definitely believe reincarnation to exist.

Again, this is not a feeling, but there was an incident when I was about 5. I was at my grandmother's house and she had made me oatmeal. I had a habit of eating it in this very unique, idiosyncratic way. My aunt walked in about that time and my grandmother asked me, "Who taught you to eat oatmeal like that?"

I thought it was a totally odd question and said no one had. My grandmother then turned to my aunt and in a low tone said something like, "My brother, your uncle, ate oatmeal like that, and he's the only one I've ever seen do it." That great uncle had died before I was born.

The point is, my grandmother's tone of voice was so completely out of character for her that I remember it these many decades later. She seemed a bit "spooked", if you will, and I never once heard her talk remotely like that any other time.

I think we just dive into simulations to avoid eternal boredom. We are probably from an advanced species that knows all of the mysteries of the cosmos and going mad with boredom. So we jump into a simulation, with no memory of who we were so that we can finally feel wonder, fear, happiness, and amazement again.

Yeah i guess.

I had some trauma related 'self discoveries' early on in my life that kind of pushed me in the 'spiritual' direction even tho it was more a feeling back then (if strong).

In nature there's no death how we intend it. No animal feels mortal. They are more 'afraid' to go against their instincts than dying. In a sense it goes against senses to believe in something real 'ending forever'. Thus the idea of reincarnation, the thought that if something can end, it doesn't belong in prime reality. Since we perceive ourselves as real, but we are conscious of animal death, we end up splitting our view of 'ourselves' from the animal we are in, which has to be correct imo as our natural instinct move us in this direction once consciousness of death is learned. I do not think this thought is born out of fear, but of pure intuition for the before mentioned reasons. Animals don't fear death and aren't stressed out when not in pain. Only when they stop having the strength to trust their gut.

The 'priest' part is necessary for a warrior. Death transcendence is something the animal kingdom knows well that the human needs to rationalize himself having lost that 'supernatural' feeling about life, he looks for a way in abstract to regain it.

Because he doesn't feel at home without it. Because it's not natural to believe in the end of the real and we perceive a reality within us but it's clearly not simply animal life.

I would like to think we are part of a system that never truly dies.

I think when you die, you cant take memories or even feelings with you, because all that stuff is just neural pathways and chemicals. But I think the core of whatever you are goes back into some state where we exist and thats all. No individuality, no needs/wants, just being a part of whatever it is that powers this universe, god, a simulation, who the fuck knows and I dont think it really matters.

I think were here to truly live, and you cant live without death and you cant love without pain.

But who knows. Do I have dreams of some other past life, I dont think so.

I dream im other people all the time, including women, sometimes Im just floating off in space like a camera in the back of some hollywood set.

I do know, I do not like wearing neck chains, rings, watches, etc, because I always picture myself chained to some dank dark dungeon floor. I always thought that was weird as hell. Its always strange looking in the mirror as well.

I do think there is some scientific proof for this though. Mainly in the form of the experiment where they poke a dummy with a stick while you wear vr goggles to see from its point of view.

As subjects watched themselves from behind, an experimenter prodded their chests with one hand while prodding the air just below the cameras at the same time. Because subjects could see the experimenter's hand but not the spot it was poking, researchers said subjects felt as if they were being poked in the chest — outside their bodies.

A different form of the experiment.

I also think its interesting that when people use tools, even like a car, that most of us view it as an extension of our body. It seems like our consciousness is made to be housed in vessels.

Who knows though, I guess well find out when we die lol.

I will say, ive talked about this before and mentioned that I dont think the soul is destroyed, just transformed into something else.

Imagine my surprise watching the end of that tv show "from" (dumb name) season 3, which was filmed in shit hole nova scotia, and one of the main characters starts spouting off what I said verbatim. Fucking weird.

Do you remember your past life? If so, since when and what do you remember?

Have you existed before this life?

a) "Before" implies forwarded (inception towards death) being (life)...a being can only exist in response to being forwarded, hence after/aft/opo - "off; away".

Others suggest "before" and "after" to distract the forwarded being from discerning self in-between (life) beginning (inception) and end (death).

b) "Have you" implies possession; being implies potential. A potential expresses outwards; while possession depresses inwards.

Nature generates potential beings; few within tempt many to waste potential by holding onto possessions.

reincarnation

Aka ones response (re) within (in) the flesh (carna) of action (tion).

past life

Life can only have presence (present) in-between inception (past) and death (future)...few suggest past; present and future to distract many from presence aka from what is presented to ones senses.

Or did you only come into existence during this life you have now?

a) OR contradicts ONLY...there can be only one aka one for all and all for one.

b) Now implies the perceivable moment (momentum) of all perceivable (motion) from the perspective of each ones presence (matter).

There can be only now...before and after tempt one to mentally hold onto; shape ahead, while ignoring what now moves through one.

I want to hear

Wanting or not wanting to hear suggested words prevents one from hearing perceivable sound needed. To hear implies to perceive by the ear...giving consent to suggested words shaped within sound tempts one to ignore that.

thought

Thought tempts one to hold onto; th(r)ough cannot be held onto...R (phonetic are) implies being. https://www.etymonline.com/word/are hence being (life) passing through (inception towards death). Try thinking about that...

Do you remember anything before you were born or became aware? Same thing when you die....nothing....
