Reincarnation
Reincarnation
is in my opinion an overly simplified concept, designed to
be easily understood and accepted by the general population.
But the theory of reincarnation falls down sharply when closely
examined. That is, if you understand how standard linear time
sense behaves in higher dimensional levels, i.e., time sense
fluctuates. As far as it goes, the theory of reincarnation
is clear enough to explain some very complex esoteric matters
in a simple way; without giving people headaches whenever
they think about it. It also allows for the illusion of the
continuation of present consciousness, unchanged and progressive,
with only an occasional memory loss to mar its course; marking
the division between each Reincarnation.
This makes it easy for people to accept the bones of the incarnation
process. It gives them the benefit of a rational afterlife
belief-system containing the simplified essence of the whole
truth. This allows a measure of independence and security,
and a reassurance of the continuance of self, i.e., life after
death and reincarnation = a kind of immortality theory that
people can easily accept and relate to.
But the whole truth of reincarnation is so extraordinarily
complex it is not so easily grasped.
At the top of the dimensional structure is ONE consciousness.
A SINGLE mind (call it universal consciousness, The Great
White Spirit, the mind of God: pick one?). Or split it into
three if you like: Father, Son & Holy Spirit, or many
more if you prefer the demigod perspective, i.e., Hindu beliefs,
etc. However you conceive this structure, at the top of it
all rests a single consciousness: the original spark of consciousness
that created and is continually creating the entire multi-dimensional
universe we call home. But grasping and relating to the ONE
is not an easy thing to do. The ONE is so far above our understanding
of what consciousness is, it becomes incomprehensible to the
human mind: except of course in the abstract; which is the
only realistic way this can be perceived and related to.
The most popular way of relating to the ONE is through abstract
simile, i.e., God is like the father of all fathers, or, God
is like the mother of all mothers, et cetera.
Beneath the ONE are layers of consciousness (relating to subtle
dimensional levels, i.e., the astral dimension, mental dimension,
etc) where the ONE fragments and splits into multiple parts,
with each lower layer splitting again and again into many
more layers and parts, and so on, until you get to the physical
dimension, the dimension of Maya, the dimension of solid illusion
where we as energy-cum-physical beings can experience the
limitations of the physical universe through our physical
bodies. This, in a way, makes us human beings the myriad eyes,
ears and consciousness' (in the physical dimension) of the
ONE great universal mind above us.
At the very top of the dimensional spectrum, at dimension
ONE, there is NO time. Mystically, this is understood and
experienced as The Eternal NOW. This means there is NO TIME.
There, time does not exist and everything, the past, present
and future, are happening all at once in the eternal NOW.
Every layer beneath this takes on a little more time sense
(steadily increasing in time sense) until we get back down
to the physical dimension; to our Real-Time dimension of solid
illusion (our normal physical universe) where time becomes
relatively linear once again.
To support this: whenever you experience higher dimensions,
say during OBE, you will always notice a significant variability
in time; in your sense of time passing during each experience.
Modern physicists are already working mathematically in several
different dimensions above but related (or linked) to the
physical universe. The great physicist Einstein stated that
at some point in the dimensional spectrum there must be a
point where time does not exist, where past, present and future
coexist simultaneously.
I have traveled to and experienced higher dimensional levels
where there is NO concept of time at all. But the sensation
and perception of time passing is also quite variable in the
physical universe, and time sense is entirely relative to
your state of mind. Look at how time flies when you are happy,
say when you are spending time with someone you love. But
oh how it drags and drags like a heavy stone while you are
bored, or while you are waiting or experiencing something
you dislike.
In a way this can be likened to a simple pyramid structure:
@
= The Eternal Now
@
000
0000000
00000000000
OOOOOOOOOO
OOO = The physical dimension (Real-Time, here and now)
The
above diagram shows the ascending and descending layers of
the ONE consciousness, splitting into more and more parts
as it descends into the real time universe (the here and now).
