How do you feel about reincarnation? Does the thought of it horrify or excite you?

The Vedas tell us birth, death and rebirth are inevitable and we should approach them without fear

We are like the dreamer who reams then lives in the dream. This is true for the entire Universe. From the unreal leads us to the real, from the darkness lead us to light, from death unto immortality.

"reincarnation" is not real. The source of consciousness is the universe itself. Water filled the glass of our bodies taking the form we call "I". Break the glass and the water goes back into the ocean. Everything is one and the same. Phenomenon precedes objects. Is this post the atoms in your computer or the energy flowing through it?

Birth isn't the start, death isn't the end. Everything moves on. We are just waves of the universal ocean flowing towards an unknown goal.

fucking this, I want to get out and go to a different or higher plane

I've heard so many theories and ideas about what happens but the one that scares me the most is just nothing, someone said to me once "can you remember what it was like before you were born? well that's what it's like when you die"
and I would hate that

there's no evidence, only "near death" stories of people who haven't actually died and beliefs of people who are still here, it's still interesting but I can't bring myself to actually believe it

I get the feeling that we'll never know, until it's actually time for us to go.

this thread reminds me of a film I watched where some scientist discovered the existance of an afterlife of some sort, and then people just started killing themselves in droves

would you kys yourself if someone discovered that there was something after death?

I was going to post more or less this but you posted it before I could. This is the problem I feel with how many Buddhists look at reincarnation. I do not believe in reincarnation, I believe in a shifting of forms, that will continue on for eternity because this is as far as we can tell, objectively true through the lens of what we can prove. People believe in reincarnation the same reason they believe in the Abrahamic version of heaven and hell, they want to believe that their actions will cause them to have a better reality in the future, these same people are clinging to a future yet claiming to be wise and free from clinging, there's a part in the back of their brain where they believe virtuously living their life will give them some grand payoff in the end. That's not living in the moment, that's living in an inconceivable future.

As your body rots, you'll feel it, but be powerless to do anything. You won't lose sensation as parts are lost. You will still feel every sensation as microscopic pieces of you are eaten and ingested by microbes. You'll feel every atom aftr it is lost to the wind. The trillions of parts of you will scream in agony as they disperse and you will feel every single one of them. Your consciousness will be pulled apart as you cannot imagine. You will never know peace. The pain will only get worse every second you are dead.

It's kind of perplexing and it makes me think of what's beyond the material world, and what's the purpose of humans. Are we like bytes of information for a fourth dimensional being, similar to how the cells and micro organism exist in a 2D world without ever knowing their true purpose in the grander scheme of things?

Either way the reincarnation of who I am, is an impossibility because if that were so, I wouldn't be me, I"d be me and the thousand other reincarnation which would automatically not make me, me. The only experience I'm able to recall is my own, and even that if extremely fleeting. Hmmmm that brings up an interesting question. If the experience of who I am is fleeting, does that mean the real me, is the me in the present moment?

If that's the case, then the data is not who I am, but a resource that's harvested by other entities. I am an NPC but unironically holy shit

> are clinging to a future yet claiming to be wise and free from clinging
I believe it is because of our attachment to our egos, or the "I", that is brought on by our instinct to survive. We were never biologically meant to know too far ahead into the future to the point we can predict our own deaths. We cling too much to this point in time we cant even perceive in our current form.
I also have that problem with Buddhists.. At least there is the focus on the now with the them, to accept that this life is temporary, while abrahamic religions focus too much on the future ignoring the present. They want to believe they can stop the natural cycle. Every rain droplets fall to the ground, doesn`t matter their size.
It is very hard to accept that things continue to flow throughout eternity without a fixed form.
Today I am me, tomorrow I am the soil, the rain, the wind and so on.
