Fear of Rebirth.

I'm done with humankind

Reincarnate me to a bird or a whale

Preferably Albatross for bird and
Orca for whale

I can fly where ever
I can swim where ever

 

I wanna be a cat...

A Big Fucking Cat!

 

You're coming back as one of President Trump's grandchildren.

 

What about a cicada? 7 years underground and one night of mating. I'm trying to decide if that sounds like a good life or a bad life

I would rather be an animal than a human for sure. Humans deal with too much anxiety and uncertainty in life. There's a squirrel without a tail who lives in my oak tree and he has it made. I get up and go to work every day to pay for the property he lives on, and he just plays and eats nuts.

 

Cool. Cosmic karma....Those who would kill something for fun or cruelty get to come back as the prey that gets killed next time around...karma is not just limited to humans.

 

I'm not coming back here.

 

I've been having memories of past lives it seems lately. Maybe, because they're really strange. But, even if not, I think that reincarnation is more appealing when you remember your past. It's actually really interesting. And helps to tie things together a lot more than you'd think. There's a lot of things you might find meaningful, or coincidences you find meaningful, that it really impacts and makes all that much more profound. It adds depth to life.

 

I remembered that I used to be in an act with this other guy. Like, we were in this town trying to make things lively, dressing up and putting on shows for people. I don't know all the pieces, but I know it ended kind of tragically. It was before the Civil War and I know I just got kind of left on my own.

 

holy shit, i think i'm a cicada.

 

Karma is the belief in reward and punishment. But if punishment is simply the consequences of your actions, it can't be viewed as punishment or justice being meted out; it's just a process. And you can exit this seemingly cyclical existence by ceasing to believe that you can pay for your incorrect actions or be rewarded for your correct actions. If you believe you owe a debt, then you will create a timeline to facilitate payment of that imagined debt. Timelines are a dime a thousand. If pleasure is your motivator, you'll remain stuck in this rerun feeding on variations. Guilt has a similar result . . . but different.

But don't listen to me. This body is a just a ghost; the same kind of ghost that Jesus gave up on the cross. To everyone's surprise, the body is the ghost.

 

If there is reincarnation after we die, I'd want to come back as someone incredibly fearless, for fear has stopped me too much in my life. I know, while I still have this life, I could stop being fearless. But, that sounds harder than just wishing for another life to just be born that way. To never fear anything, would be really nice.

 

I'm not too concerned who I come back as, I'm gonna grab it by the horns and make it work for me like I did in this life.

 

What sort of life do you think you'd need to be born into to in order to learn that money isn't the standard with which to determine what is favorable?

 

I wish to come back as a single cell organism,
That way I can spend all day eating and making babies.

 

If you are actually really worried about coming back as something unfavourable, then you certainly will.

I studied Buddhism, at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa temple. What I learned would have me believe that someone who is pure and kind, who gives of themselves without concern for praise or good reincarnation. That is the person who will be granted the "best" reincarnation, or simple no reincarnation, but instead enlightenment which leads to ascension.
