The goal is to break the cycle of why you did what you did in this present life, learning the lesson. You beliefs create your reality, so you experience life filtered through that lens, and from that you will make choice following the belief. Right and wrong are human concepts of duality, it's a choice to see things that way. It's your choice to become free, or resentful, or loving etc.. In the end reincarnation is a way for a soul to learn the lesson he decided to learn before it was incarnated, to expand and discern what is right for it the end for it. There is no right and wrong for me, just things happening.

Why are we cast here if the continuation of the soul is to have any credibility at all? There is no answer. Nobody can give you an answer that does not defy logic or common sense. We are not here to learn or to expand. We are not here to fulfil any kind of a mission. We are not here because of karma - the only way that could work is if you knew what you did wrong otherwise it becomes just a load of nonsense. <br /><br />We just don't know so we assume the default position and proclaim there is no afterlife, there is no soul, and there is no continuation. But this also has problems. Hardened non-believers will tell you that you cannot possibly survive death. When you die, it is complete and total oblivion. And yet if you ask them if that was the case before you were born, without even thinking they say yes. If that is true, one has to entertain the possibility that from nothing something actually came into existence. If it did it once, why can it not do it again? Why is there anything at all?<br /><br />We are simply lost and will never know while we live here. We hope that if it does continue we get a choice of refusing to come back. If not, you have to entertain the possibility that we will be tortured for all eternity - a horrible thought.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440414138954235131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-23216632939827990402013-11-09T23:14:38.333-08:002013-11-09T23:14:38.333-08:00juju bullshit ton the millions power and then some...juju bullshit ton the millions power and then someAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-48659205199909706362009-12-06T02:31:45.443-08:002009-12-06T02:31:45.443-08:00Man, I TOALLY agree with Aron....

I do not believe in reincarnation but I do believe in the immortality of the soul. It is philosophically proven true. Look at your intellect, your ability to reason. This is a power of your soul unique to humans. This power is not in animals. It is a power which does not come from any natural agent. Your soul like the animal soul, is the act of your body. It is what makes it move, live etc.. but when the animal dies its soul goes out of existence because thats all it was, simply the lifeforce of the animal's body. However, your soul along with being the lifeforce of your body has a feature (intellect) which is more than just a lifeforce and thus remains after death. I urge you to reconsider life after death because it is only understanding the afterlife that allows this life to make sense.UrbanIXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760425234432608594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-349925171178385592008-03-18T20:36:00.000-07:002008-03-18T20:36:00.000-07:00I win :)I win :)Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-76617849729733649872008-03-03T02:56:00.000-08:002008-03-03T02:56:00.000-08:00Oh Aaron Kinney, GROW UP.Oh Aaron Kinney, GROW UP.zeeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564899348867586671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-9381411462348948772008-03-02T23:23:00.000-08:002008-03-02T23:23:00.000-08:00Mortals do not reincarnate.Mortals do not reincarnate.Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-28520107225845053882008-03-02T07:41:00.000-08:002008-03-02T07:41:00.000-08:00Reincarnation is LIFE.

And keeping the debts or riches - material possessions - is such a ridiculous idea. You have obviously not studied the truew believers of reincarnation: the Buddhists.

Don't interfere, or the bad karma will rub off on you like some cosmic booger.<BR/><BR/>Aaron,<BR/><BR/>The whole baggage of morality and "deserve" and karma need not be attached to reincarnation. Suppose for a moment that it just happens. It takes place regardless of who you are and what you have done, with no more constraint than ice melting at 0.01 degrees Celcius. Your consciousness just finds another "host" infant body when you die. There is not one single memory in the new brain; nothing to connect you with your past incarnation. It would be as though you just start over, with a different life. No roadmap. OK, IF that were the case, and IF that postulate cannot be substantiated by any physical evidence, HOW is it one bit relevant to one's present lifetime? Even if you live your life with the expectation of continuing on, it is not like a do-over, any more than chaper 2 of a book is a license to re-write chapter 1. If, because of a belief in reincarnation, you believe that what you do in this life doesn't matter, that is just another framework upon which to hang irrational, delusional, and self-destructive decisions.<BR/><BR/>Any way I look at it, if what happens after we die is debatable, it is unknowable. If it is unknowable, it is irrelevant to this lifetime and no expectation should be formed or acted upon.breakerslionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327290369084118043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1123140750220055102005-08-04T00:32:00.000-07:002005-08-04T00:32:00.000-07:00Interesting post aaron.

The idea of you getting what you get in this life because of what you did in a former life also requires us all to assume that any victim in this life actually deserves what they get.

People would want their previous spouses and lovers, who would be attached to someone new or just plain older now.<BR/>Also, there is one "form" of reincarnation that does not take into account morality or previous experiences. That is limited reincarnation. The physical remains that constituted your self after you die decompose and spread all over the place. The matter that composes your dead body is essentially indestructable. Therefore, your remains become part of the entire ecosystem. We all are, in essence, star dust and matter from previous lifeforms. You are probably made from millions of different animals just by yourself. And don't forget the "You are what you eat" concept of having whatever you consume become part of you and essentially altering your physical makeup. I think cannibals had this idea in mind along with human and animal sacrifice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
