Actually, we have a slight delay in the dietary matters as I need to append two last sections to our Psychoism blogs to be complete.
Reincarnation – just a good idea?
Hello, one and all. This is a tricky area of study! Let us call whatever reincarnates, the ‘reincarnate.”
There are many questions which need to be answered. Rational hypotheses are allowable.
[1] When we discuss the possibility of reincarnation,
What part of a man or woman is reappearing from one physical life to another?
Is it a select ego state (or persona), or a set of ego states?
What is the nature of the reincarnate?
What energy is it composed of?
Is the reincarnate a form of energy or just a packet of information?
What connects the current reincarnate with the previous?
[2] Why is the common observation that in a group attending a public lecture on reincarnation [which is a typical public lodge activity], nearly everyone will report a past life experience after group hypnotic induction?
Why is recall of purported past lives nearly impossible in our daily waking and dream experiences?
[3] How do you know the Cosmic or the individual soul exists?
What is the soul? Substance? Operation?
[4] To state that good records exist suggesting the possibility of being a reincarnate (and some convincing reports do exist–if you actually look for them) is an unallowable presumption unless you have critically read so reports. But, no one can prove the memory belongs to the person reporting such.
[5] We all possess a bias to make our observation fit our beliefs. Best example, are cold psychic readings–they are psychologically sophisticated questioning using probability (common needs and desires of humans)
[6] An equally tenable explanation is the there is no self to reincarnate from body to body; rather, a life record recalled is actually a related or foreign memory recalled from the Akashic Records (something else which must be established as existing). Personally, I know of some excellent narratives which are highly suggestive of the possibility for highly evolved persons to access historically accurate records (without prior exposure) who have a permanent and true I.
My tentative conclusion, some people have found that they truly can make-find a permanent ‘I’, which is not a self, but something much greater. This true I is what is immortal and unchanging. This “I-ness” is what connects each kesdjan body to the next, life to life, and which can access the Akashic Records. Unfortunately, most are in imagination when they say they have a true I–it is found not given. Nothing reincarnates, there is no compensatory karma, selves are expendable-even the highest being body at the end of time.
I will be the last person in Creation to insist that my conclusion is accurate–though it comes from answering the questions given above. It is only the best hypothesis I possess at the moment. I fully acknowledge my status as “a perpetual walking question mark.” Of all knowledge presented by our Order, this is “True Gold.” The rest is Silver. Student Beware.
For this immortal and unborn force (“true I” which I have discussed previously) infuses the ergoegotic center of our kesdjan body so to provide a sense of personal continuity in time (with memory and the mindbrain). Being truly awake means that your mental state is using Conscious Energy and not Sensitive Energy (see Creation and it’s Energies). We are only conscious when we are awake and being awake is the most powerful force in Creation, more potent than any creature of the paradream worlds. (NOTE: I am leaving out much detail.)
