How to classify the causes of increased awareness of the world outside the skin?
For example, expansion of awareness can overcome the cigarette habit so that beginning now, one never again smokes. In that way, awareness ensues that the craving now has become eternity, and that awareness itself is what ends the eternal craving. Sounds contradictory only in words but not in the reality of fast food addiction.
Since exposure to the same conditions will cause one person to quit smoking forever and ever, and the other to continue smoking, other elements must be in play. The elements are samskaras, or characteristics as in, qualities.
When a person dies with a particular assemblage of samskaras, and when a significant portion of that particular assemblage appears in another human being born afterwards, however that happens to happen, then those qualities have again incarnated into a human form.
This is evident when a new voice on PNF sounds like an old voice … it’s because an assemblage of qualities can have more than one form.
As the machine tells us, an incarnation is a person who embodies in the flesh a deity, a spirit, or quality.
It can be sobering that the feeling of individualism that is I Am, which is what thinks is being reincarnated, is actually a collection of qualities that can be naturally replicated that results in the same human thought of, I Am.
