RIP freedomboard.kirara.ca.
SERIOUSLY GUYS STOP BREAKING RULE 2
The rules are simple and only apply to the creation of threads on /fringe/: 1. Don't make duplicate threads of topics that already exist unless the previous thread has hit the bump limit. 2. Don't make threads just to ask questions, actually present substantial information if you're going to make a thread. 3. Don't make a thread purely to shitpost (you will be forgiven if it's a major GET), just shitpost / loosh farm inside of threads that already exist. 4. Post threads that fall under the subject matter of /fringe/ (creepypasta FYI generally does not fall under /fringe/'s very broad subject matter, look at the sticky to see what subjects we discuss on /fringe/)

This thread is for discussion of and gathering of information related to reincarnation.

Have you read an article or site covering this topic? Post about it in here and give a link after summarizing.

Have you found a chapter in a book or even a whole book dedicated to the topic? Post it in here also.

Have you any knowledge of past lives? Tell us about them and how you attained or preserved this knowledge between the lives.

What is your own theory as to how reincarnation works?

If you have any questions about reincarnation, ask them in here too.

I've been looking for some stuff I've seen posted before on older /fringe/ but haven't been able to find again so even if you've posted it before, post it again if it's not already in this thread.

For anyone who is completely new to reincarnation and has never really given it any serious thought, read this obscure Manly P. Hall book I put together to brush up your knowledge on it:

Possible but improbable – if it is happening it's probably a case of a possessed being directed by a spirited being by proxy.

>How do you know if you're spiritless?


Read the Spiritless Humans article on montalk it answers exactly that question.

Also read the Philosophical Zombies argument.

If you are experiencing things you have spirit, if not then you don't.

This is good advice. While it doesn't make sense on its own (because even "zombie humans" do "experience" something), it makes sense if you understand what he's talking about.
It's like you know, you are aware that you are living, right?
I think Atkinson would call this the "I" (the actual you) being aware of operating through the "Me" (body, personality).

 No.11947

>>11931
No philosophical zombies actually DO NOT experience anything at all. They respond like they do, they still have programming which animates them and so on, but "there is nothing it is like to be them" … "nobody looks out from behind the eyes" … they are "organic robots, machines".

They are purely physical/instinctual non-beings.

If you are aware of anything at all, you are not a philosophical zombie. A philosophical zombie may say based on its programming that it is aware but it is not.

Telling if others are philosophical zombies is hard to do but montalk has a suggestion as to how that he gives on his youtube channel as well as on his site. Knowing if you yourself are one is easy – if you are aware of anything at all you're not one.

Having had a rough upraising i experienced antisocial, sociopathic tendencies.

Since walking the spiritual path I've been more aware of feels.. But they are distant, like an echo..

Mother was a psychopath, a violent and abusive drunk.. If the experience is to hard the soul might leave its vessel.

Its also passed down from parent to child, maybe my conditions didn't poison me, maybe i was born like this?

I'm afraid I have tricked myself into..

Somewhere along my path I decided that What I have experienced others would not want, so why be their cause of suffering?

But this was a logical decision, not one born out of empty.

One can argue this both ways.

If you teach people that their future lives depend on their actions in this life, and the only way to ensure this is to obey your precepts, then it might be used to control people.

On the other hand, people who believe that their souls are immortal might be more inclined towards violent uprising, as they have less to fear from death.

I think in practice there are better doctrines for controlling people, such as promising them eternal and irrevocable damnation in hell for disobedience, or perhaps the idea that life is meaningless, trapping them in depression or hedonism.

>'Souls' are not evenly distributed.
>'Souls' can 'flow' - form and transcend (and any other action you can think of).


As for the rest of my two cents to add to the thread:
(And I am certain parts will unintentionally seem related to elsewhere in this thread)
1. Humans beings come in 3 major flavors: Person, Bird, Record.
A person has the capacity of being a cognizant being, a bird has the capacity of convincing enough to mimic a person, and a record has the capacity of a very finite fixed track. While there is potential to move about these categories it doesn't really happen.
2.For persons, this 'soul' thing can comes in none, multiple, and single.
Unlike in #1, it is somewhat common for changes of category to happen here and generally fewer numbers are more likely anyways. Physiological trauma is one major means of changing overall soul habitance. The 'energies' business often associated with this health of 'soul' habitance - I doubt this is the best association for 'energies'.
3. Experience(Age) & Awareness(Ego) of 'soul' in reincarnation
As time is experienced it becomes another dimension and is by its nature great source of learning. It is not what it causally appears to be, nor what is usually referred to as a dimension. In the absence of time there is only pure physical state. In the absence of awareness(ego) there is universality. Ego is the response of a 'soul' to form identity based the physical world it finds itself in. Failing to develop ego FULLY where 'soul' is present is the single greatest contributor to the migration of souls and reincarnation. It is not personality but it does shape it, it is not thought but again it does shape it, and ego is not fully formed without a strong practice of understanding of universal place and relative time besides just self.

I've had many where I've had someone love me, like a wife. Seeing them and living with them has always brought this feeling of familiarity and love, and I've concluded that they might have been my beloved ones in past lives. Usually we've been separated by some disaster, and I've woken up with feeling of deep longing and sadness, but also happiness for having had someone love you. Or maybe they are just dreams? Phantasmagoria?

What mysteries existence brings to those who live!

Pain and suffering follows me as a creeping shadow. But is the shadow evil, or is it just that we are afraid of dark? Pain and suffering, hatred and sorrow. We were born to suffer; nothing in the finite world can ever satisfy us, can it? The soul longs to return to the womb it came from. Some say God is broken and that we are his pieces - lights of god - but this is wrong to me.

God is not broken; we are. We are shattered and hurt. We are broken and we stay broken until we realize that all is one. There is no separation. You and I - we are one!

To be not two but one is to love. To be whole, together - is this not Love? Many people tell me they are in love, but are they really? Biological mechanism does not equal love! God equals love; to be one with all is to be all with one. To love God is to love all.

Do I love?

. . . What mysteries life brings to those who exist!

To exist. . . It brings a lot of questions to my mind. How long have I existed, and how many incarnations have I had? What have I been like? Who have I loved and hated? Am I an alien in human body? A higher being in the corpse of homo sapiens? Why am I here. . ?

What I know is that we are all alien to existence. We are all aliens, not in extraterrestrial sense, but in spiritual.

We are in this existence, but we are not of this existence; and in smaller degree, we are in this world, but we are not of this world.

We are all aliens to existence.

Yet in the end, the only thing that matters is now. "I AM," and that is enough. What I have been doesn't matter. I am, I am, I am. . .

I Am, and that is All.

Understanding and experiencing, they are so much more. Of course our words come out basic, the more we use, the more finite the experience becomes. It crystallises it down preset paths of language, language that may not be suitable for such expression.

We still try. An experience so meaningful and overwhelming, we are compelled to share it with our fellows. But when it is poured into the vial of language, it just feels cheapened. It is no longer that which transfixed us, but can now be cut and measured.

Fragmented. And all we want is to be whole.

The Process of Incarnation and the Implications of Abortion

>> I am particularly interested in is the process of incarnation itself. <<

Once the astral body of the former incarnation has completely disintegrated, the temporal mental body (Individual Self) is freed. At this stage, there is a degree of unification between the temporal Individual Self and eternal mental body (Greater Self) and a temporal "conference" of sorts occurs. This is when the eternal Self informs the temporal Self of what is to come and what lessons the temporal mental body must undergo in the next incarnation. Even though these details are know as fact to the eternal Greater Self, the Individual Self *chooses* to embrace and enact them within the temporal realm. The Individual Self, following the instruction of the Greater Self, then chooses the right time and place for incarnation, the parents, the circumstances of the incarnation that will force the needed lessons and experiences, and the time of death.

Once all of these decisions have been made, the desire to procreate arises within the parents. At the pre-determined moment of conception, the temporal mental body descends into the fertilized egg and the astral body begins to crystallize. As the egg develops, so too does the astral crystallization. During gestation, the mental body becomes gradually more and more attached to the physical body until at the pre-determined moment of birth, it emerges bound to the nascent astra-physical body. At the moment of birth, the astral body is formed sufficiently for the new incarnation, nonetheless, it continues to mature throughout the incarnation.

>> Also, I would like to relate this issue to another, very controversial issue of abortion. Namely, what are the implications of abortion (also having in mind different stages of pregnancy) in the light of the Hermetic explanation of incarnation. <<

Abortion is death. The moment of death is fated, from the eternal perspective, just as the moment of conception and birth. With abortion or fetal death of any sort, the incarnating mental body is meeting the lessons it must meet in order to evolve. From the perspective of the aborted spirit, the abortion is necessary for its development. The temporal mental body along with the partially formed astral body of the fetus, is released from physicality and re-enters the process of astral disintegration. This is very brief compared to the process that follows an incarnation of longer duration.

The moment of death, whenever it may occur, is an expression of the karma of the incarnating spirit. The circumstances of death however, are an expression of a mixing of the karma of the incarnating spirit and the person(s) who function(s) as the agency of death. In the case of abortion and fetal death that's due to parental negligence, etc., there is a karmic debt formed between the incarnating spirit and the parent, doctor, drug dealer, etc. The nature of that debt depends entirely upon what is in the heart of the parent(s) and can very from the extremely negative to the extremely positive.

The stage of fetal development has no bearing upon the karmic consequences that those participating in the abortion incur.

Karmically, it is the right of every woman to choose what she will do or not do with her own body. Therefore, abortion does not equate karmically with murder.

Me personally I have no intentions of even trying to figure out who I may have been in a past life as there's too high a risk of delusion happening.

I just assume personally, that at some point in my present incarnation, I will reach such an incredibly advanced level of development that knowledge of such things becomes easily accessible to me and I will know then.

I have this friend who swears he knows about his past life. He says he had a vivid dream where he was a noble during the French Revolution, after being pursued by revolutionaries he jumps of a bridge and breaks his neck. He told me that every time you have a very vivid dream it's a past life. I had never encountered anyone in real life that legitimately believed this kind of thing, it really got me thinking.

I can (and so can anyone else at step 5 of Initiation Into Hermetics) vividly experience the thoughts and memories of another person, being them, for a period of time and it doesn't matter if they're alive right now or lived in the past. It's all held in the akashic records.

The only past life claim I would take seriously is on in which the person experienced no amnesia at all, that they somehow went from one life to their next one without any loss of memory.

You are not your personality, memories, and body. You are awareness and will and may wear the personality, memories, and body of any person for a time.

The main issue I have with claims of the sort you just brought up is the matter of sequence. Calling it a "past life". I don't know it if should be regarded as a concurrent life, a past life, snooping into another life for a moment, etc. and the fact that time is a product of consciousness and the absolute reality is static further complicates things.

You could tap into and experience the life of any person you want and report accurately on the details of their life and be believed by others when you identify with that life as "having been your own" because you'll be able to back things up with the facts you know. All really advanced occultists however would be careful to avoid such errors and to make such reports to the unilluminated masses that only serve to confuse the situation.


 No.49436

I see. I really don;t know much about this stuff. Regarding amnesia, he doesn't claim to remember his entire past life, just that one moment in the bridge. And i don't think he claimed any kind of continuity either. Anyway his family is big into French bloodlines, so maybe he WANTS to believe he was a noble at one point in time.
