Reincarnation

Picture
_"No One of Existing Things doth Perish, but Men in Error Speak of Their Changes as Destructions and as Deaths... The "restoration" of bodies on the earth is thus their composition, whereas their dissolution restores them to those bodies which can never be dissolved, that is to say, which know no death. Privation, thus, of sense is brought about, not loss of bodies... Therefore, nothing that constitutes the world will ever perish or be destroyed, for the eternal [Logos] is imperishable. All this great body of the world is a Soul, full of intellect and of God, who fills it within and without and vivifies everything." 

-The Corpus Hermeticum-

The phenomenon observed in linear time as reincarnation is ultimately another half truth of sorts. From our current linear perspective we see birth, life, and death, from beginning to end, all in a linear flowing line. However, we have shown how in truth spirits essence is spanned across entirety the universes beginning and conclusion. All events, from spirits outside of time perspective, are seen simultaneously. If spirit were a clock, there is a point in the clocks center that is in the same position regardless of any 'sweeping' or 'moving' of a hands location, it is the central position of the clock, as it is equally as far from each second hash. Therefore, from the central position it can see all potential moments at once from its unique and all seeing perspective. All moments both past and present in reality have all already happened. However, in our unique disposition and movement through time we are as a flowing second hand which anticipates the seven coming after the six and looks back behind us to the five position. If each number represented a separate life then one could say, yes reincarnation exists, in my next life or 'form of physical correspondence' I will be seven and no longer six, meaning there is a sequential order of other lives lived. The timeless essence of mind in actuality reaches and touches all moments simultaneously. Like infinite second hands on every second fanning away from the clock in a turning corkscrew into infinite. Your true essence of mind is at the finish/beginning line of the universes conclusion 'outside the circle and at the center', essentially looking and watching the events and decisions you already made in the past. To stand on the finish line is to stand on the beginning simultaneously. Death could be viewed shedding the old body and being thrown back into a pool of collective water. Being reborn in a new physical body could be viewed as once again returning to the surface to take a new breath and be born again to the physical. As spirit will desire to carry out life and mental existence once again, thus it bursts forth from this pool of life and oneness to breath from the new lungs of a child's body and ego. The same viewer or single spirit has looked upon two lives with two egos. Just as someone may change their view by wearing red or blue 'screened' or 'colored' sunglasses and remain the same entity or intelligence. One spirit in two bodies.

A Letter to a Dying Man- 

Bassui wrote the following letter to one of his disciples who was about to die: "The essence of your mind is not born, so it will never die. It is not an existence, which is perishable. It is not an emptiness, which is a mere void. It has neither color nor form. It enjoys no pleasures and suffers no pains. "I know you are very ill. Like a good Zen student, you are facing that sickness squarely. You may not know exactly who is suffering, but question yourself: What is the essence of this mind? Think only of this. You will need no more. Covet nothing. Your end which is endless is as a snowflake dissolving in the pure air."

In deaths transference, within the dream state or physical realm, many years may have passed to the observing spirit. Death carries and restores spirit to a body and state that knows no time, for time is the creation it has made within its mind, time was always only an illusion. Time is not eternal, eternity is the force that houses time, both its beginning and end. We are eternity. All moving and being pulled to the inevitable infinite expansion of spirit. The At-one-ment with God.

“ At the end of countless cycles of eons of time, THE ALL withdraws its Attention-its Contemplation and Meditation-of the Universe, for the Great Work is finished-and All is withdrawn into THE ALL from which it emerged. But Mystery of Mysteries-the Spirit of each soul is not annihilated, but is infinitely expanded-the Created and the Creator are merged. “
