Yea my cat got spoiled, by me mostly, my parents were always jealous of animals yet kept buying more..
Where will you go then? I heard that the first white light is actually your own mind and that if you recognize it then you'll be set free from the reincarnation cycle
I think you just wander this earth as a ghost which id be fine with. I heard that the white light is a reincarnation soul cycle trap. Ofcourse there is no way to verify this.
You are not afraid of hell? Since suicide is seen as a grave sin.
What is all this about the light and whether or not we should "walk towards it"? I'd like to know more. Can we learn something from NDE's?
The evidence that scientists rely on to study the thesis of reincarnation are precisely children who tell detailed experiences about a fact, it is very curious and interestingI don't believe there's nothing, because of experiences I've had after loved ones passing that sent me down a rabbit hole of investigating / exploring spirituality.
I have always been agnostic leaning, the idea of spirit/soul/source vs nothing, can't be fully proven or disproven - I understand both skepticism and faith as a result - both come down to choice and belief.
I know what I "hope" happens. I also know I could be wrong. But if there's nothing when I die, I'll be none the wiser. So I choose to believe because it gives me some small comfort whilst I navigate the hell that is human existence.
My experiences could very well be the product of my own subconscious/imagination based upon my desires to reunite with people I loved very much. They could also be actual contact. I have no way to prove or disprove, either way. So I choose the latter, although question myself if the former.
Since I was a child, before I ever knew what reincarnation was, before I ever read or researched anything, I've had recurring dreams - hugely detailed dreams - in ways people talk about "past life regression". I remember asking my friends when I was around 10 years old - do you ever meet someone, or go somewhere - someone you've never met before, or someplace you've never been or seen on tv - and it's familiar? You know the person, or the place, you remember things but they're not "your" memories? I think I was describing de ja vu without the terminology.
It would happen a lot when I was younger too. Or I'd dream something, and then it would happen - sometimes months, even years later - but the event would trigger the memory and I'd then recall that actually, I dreamt of it.
I don't know how it all works really, and I don't consider myself psychic, or a medium, or anything like that. I just think there's an awful lot more to consciousness than our understanding, and a lot more than science has been able to touch upon.
But centuries ago, the advances in science we take for granted today would be thought of as demonic or witchcraft. So who's to say what will be discovered, proven and accepted in centuries to come.
Also, I don't believe in "God", "Satan", or any concept of traditional religion. Commonalities existed across all cultures long before those cultures ever interacted with each other, yes. But religion as we know it today is to me a man made invention as a tool for control by the corrupt. An excuse to cause destruction and divisiveness.
My own personal beliefs have nothing to do with divisiveness.
It's a topic of interest to me though, but I think it can often become heated. I prefer to consider all possibilities, respect everyone's personal views, regardless of whether they align with mine.
Most people think mine are cuckoo for coco pops.
There are also many accounts of young children who have had close relatives die seeing and talking to those relatives. In the age of innocence, before self doubt and skepticism sets in, the mind is more open to seeing things most of us become closed off to. The older we get, the more we're conditioned to shut off that part of our brain.
Have you heard of yan stevenson ?
Where does consciousness come from then? @Onomatopoeia posted something about how scientists could combine a bunch of body parts yet what they created wasn't a living human
I believe in evolution and that the body is pretty much just a machine. However, it seems that there is some kind of cycle to everything. Like: be born, grow up, grow old, die - reborn?I'll never believe in reincarnation , afterlife, a soul , god , magic, supernatural , mulitiverses , simulatons etc .
It's not like they haven't worked on trying to find out where humans and life originated . they've worked on this for hundreds of years. and there are hundreds of years of books showing proof ,experiments etc cross confirmed of what a human is where they came from etc. basically humans and all life evolved from a cell that cell evolved from chemical reactions.
Anyone can look at a cell in microscope from a human a mouse a fly for example a neuron from each and each is identical.
that's all a human is a chemical reaction , a cell ( a machine) a cell with some added on horrors like a brain that can suffer unbearable unending constant unbearable pain . a cell has no soul no magic nothing it's just a machine.
Yeah, the world seems cyclical. Even everyday is, the sun rises only to set and rise again, in a perpetual cycle. I hate the cyclical nature of this world and how everything inevitably repeats
