Re: Reincarnation
Yes to all that, Age. Remember planning for the future is also an experience. It's an experience that presumably most other animals, and almost certainly sticks, stones, and robots, don't pertain to.Age wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 12:07 amTo 'me', this makes far more sense.Belinda wrote: ↑Sat Dec 10, 2022 1:06 pmTouche!

And, if 'I' was to ask 'you' what are these 'mind' things, EXACTLY, and WHERE do they exist, EXACTLY, then what would 'your' answers BE?
Also, do NOT forget that ALL of 'them' MUST OF BEEN EXISTING BEFORE the 'whole world' WAS CREATED.
But HOW, EXACTLY, could a so-called 'bundle of experiences' EXIST BEFORE there was even a 'whole world' EXISTING.
I suggest BEFORE 'you', human beings, even BEGIN to START making CLAIMS that 'you' OBTAIN IRREFUTABLE PROOF BEFORE 'you' make the CLAIMS PUBLIC.
You are WELCOME.
I do this out of ENJOYMENT so there is REALLY NOTHING to thank me for here.
Who and/or what does the 'we' word refer to here, EXACTLY?
This also translates to, 'ALL knowledge comes from past experiences', which is an irrefutable Fact as being the reason why to NEVER 'blame' ANY one if they do NOT YET KNOW some 'thing'. If 'one' has NEVER 'experienced' some 'thing', then HOW, EXACTLY, could that 'one' EVER be EXPECTED to KNOW or 'it' or have ANY actual 'knowledge' about 'it'. For example, I would NEVER EXPECT 'you', adult human beings, in the days when this is being written to KNOW or have ANY knowledge AT ALL about HOW to live in Peace and in Harmony with one "another", as One, BECAUSE absolutely NONE of 'you' have 'experienced' this 'way of life' YET. The EXACT SAME as I would NEVER EXPECT previous to these days when this is being written the human beings, back then, to KNOW or have ANY knowledge of living with computers and the internet, flying machines, motor vehicles, electricity, and all of the other 'things' and 'way of living' that 'you', human beings, are continuing CREATING, and LEARNING about.
See, I could NEVER, REALLY, FULLY EXPLAIN, SUCCESSFULLY, to 'you', human beings, about how 'you' WILL BE, soon enough, living with the internet, airplanes, space rockets, satellites, cell phones, videos, global positioning systems, robots, artificial intelligence, and self driving cars before what is called the 1900's. I would NEVER EXPECT 'them' to UNDERSTAND FULLY. EXACTLY like I do NOT EXPECT 'you', human beings, in the days when this is being written to FULLY UNDERSTAND how 'you' WILL BE, very soon enough, living in a Truly Peaceful AND Harmonious 'world' WITH "one another" as One. It will ONLY be when 'young children' living WITHIN this 'way of life', and when babies are born into this EXACT 'way of life', that 'they' will THEN 'experience' this 'way of life and living', and so WILL LEARN 'this way of life and living', and this will will NOT ONLY BECOME KNOWN, but will be TAUGHT, Naturally, to the 'young', who WILL, AGAIN Naturally, pass on this 'knowledge', and KNOWING, 'way of life' onto ALL future generations, who WILL have 'this' KNOWING and 'knowledge', Naturally. Also, ALL of these 'future generations' will come to think or BELIEVE that they could NOT live WITHOUT Peace and WITHOUT Harmony, just like ALL of the 'younger human beings' and 'older children' 'now', in the day that this IS written think or BELIEVE that they could NOT live WITHOUT their phones and the internet.
'Past experiences' of a human body, literally, becomes what is KNOWN, or 'knowledge', which is stored with, or within, the brain, as 'thoughts', themselves.
Re: Reincarnation
At the level of knowledge, the understanding will reflect what is obvious through observation or through learning. At the level of wisdom, the understanding will reflect that which can never be observed, can never be learnt and can never be taught.
Life is always one step ahead of the human mind. So you can never know what will be done before it happens. So this wisdom of life that the knowledge of human actions is illusory and not real.

Re: Reincarnation
And what do 'you', the Absolute, PRESUME can NEVER be learned, NEVER be taught, NEVER be seen, and NEVER be understood?
And, HOW did 'you' come to learn, teach, see, and understand this KNOWLEDGE?
There is NO 'human mind'. But, OF COURSE, if there ACTUALLY was 'one', then 'you', the Absolute, could INFORM 'us', who do NOT exist, and who do NOT know, WHERE this 'human mind', IS, WHAT 'it' IS, HOW 'it' works, and WHY 'it' EXISTS, EXACTLY, correct?
OR, is the Absolute NOT capable of doing ANY of 'this'?
SO, the Absolute can NEVER know what will be done before it happens, correct?
YET, "dontaskme", supposedly, KNOWS what the Absolute can and can NOT do.
HOW do 'you' KNOW?

While in the process of what i was doing, what was uncovered, unveiled, and/or recognized and found out were a few 'things', like, for example, but not limited to;
What the key is, exactly, which unlocked the previously so-called 'mysteries' of Life. For example, HOW to find and KNOW the True, Right, and Correct answers to all of the Truly meaningful questions in Life, and well as to the so-called 'problems' in Life.
How and WHY ALL of 'you', human beings, think what 'you' do, and do what 'you' do.
Who and what 'you' are, exactly.
Who and what 'I' am, exactly.
Who and what the words Spirit, Allah, God, Enlightenment, and other words in relation to good and evil, et cetera are meaning, referencing, or pointing to, exactly?
How the Mind and the brain work, exactly.
How to distinguish between what is ACTUALLY IRREFUTABLY True and Right, from what 'you', human beings, PERCEIVE to be true and right. Or, in other words, how to find and KNOW what thee ACTUAL Truth of 'things' are.
What is morally Right and morally Wrong, in Life.
How to create a Truly Peaceful 'world' for EVERY one forever more.

HOW is what is happening - happening, is irrelevant.
Here, there is only Unknowing. The Absolute understanding.
That's all there is to understand....everything else is just a boring rinse and repeat semantic story, told by a fool over and over again, going nowhere, signifying nothing.

Re: Reincarnation
The life of every human is a continuous movement from conception to death, which did not begin even before that and does not end after that. Thoughts overlay the timeless transformational journey of life and create a mysterious illusion of numerous separate events of our earthly existence. Existential questions of all kinds find their spontaneous answer through the eternal irrefutable certainty of the timeless moment.
The ego is merely a claimer and not a doer.
