Our esscence [our soul] is recycled within the macrocosm of this level of the Multiverse until we are eventually elevated into the next plane of reality. This is not the same for everyone, but the vast majority of us will be reincarnated into every possible tangent of what we have come to believe as reality [parallel universes, alternate dimensions, etc.] until we are able to comprehend another facet of the Godhead and thus are given pass into the next plane of existence. The end of this journey results in absolute unity with the The God Force.


Is this what I believe? Maybe...

I don't find myself caring at all about what happens after I die, if anything happens at all, other than the natural processes of decay of the body and such.

seems quite plausible.

Yeah, I REALLY do...you can tell? Laughing

Would you believe that no drugs of any kind influence my thinking? Razz

Mayflow, or anyone who believes in souls and reincarnation or some sort of life after death, do you sometimes believe in things that have kind of not been proved yet just so it fits with your idealistic mode of thinking? Not that I have anything against it. I've just always wondered.

Well, lly, I feel something (I voted the last) --something as if being that we do not know the actual souls existence, that it is a choosing for yourself (the whole concept, somewhat similar to religion/faith).

Hm

I think my view on it is somewhat bastardized, being that you don't necessarily return to all of one thing (as traditional reincarnation).

Well, that's definitely a part of it, but there is more to it than pure idealism. I have strange quirks in my personality that I can't quite explain. For instance, I love Middle-Eastern music and archetecture despite the fact I have not a single drop of Arab blood. I know that probably might not amount to anything significant, but I simply cannot explain away my fascination with Middle-Eastern culture [moreso Islam than Christianity].

Yeah, that I can understand. I have my own weird interests in Irish, German, Czech and Ashkenazi Jewish culture. They don't per se affect me spiritually, but intellectually and artistically the impacts are immense. Some would even say a combination of that actually creates the basis of my personal spirituality, even though it remains agnostic-atheist. I'm willing to accept spiritual beliefs as components in say, my writing or any creative exercise, though somewhere in me there is a split between that and the logic that tells me I can never know whether there are spiritual forces at work in my life, and I choose not to believe in such forces.

I'll quote a friend

"I believe in reincarnation to an extent because of the carbon cycle"

I have always had an obsession with Oriental style things.
I'm not ruling out the possiblity of reincarnation.
I mean I have heard cases of it happening before that seemed pretty legit to me

I think the best thing we can do is to keep an open mind and abstain from dealing in absolutes.
