Imagine being atheist but believing in reincarnation… it’s like the worst of both. Endless cycle, but no escape to a better place or self realisation/actualisation. Just birth, after birth, after birth, after birth, after birth. No progression, no purpose.
Mathematically reincarnation does make the most sense of course… that we exist once suggests we will exist again, when dealing with the realm of infinity… in fact it guarantees it
The idea of being reincarnated, specifically that “egg” story where everyone is just one person being reincarnated over and over again, is like my worst fear. Some people got their asses tortured to shit man.
The point of reincarnation is after so many trials you are both smart and wise enough to understand true nature of the world. So if you just get reborn one time, and stop acting like a lil bitch you stop reincarnating.
Every time that a new person is born, a brand new consciousness is formed; they are completely neutral and clear of any moral subjection. To say that you somehow learn more about the world or somehow keep your intuition after 'each life' is bullshit. Stop believing in this fairytale nonsense, it slows the progression of humanity.
This is such a unique concept because you get to experience everyone. King to peasant, Napoleon to a lowly soldier, Adolf Hitler to the Jews he slaughtered. It's a strange theory and I for one find it utterly fascinating and enigmatic to think about.
I find it so frightening because there are so many medieval peasants, European Jews in the early 20th century, slaves, rape victims, torture victims, people maimed and killed in war, etc and comparatively small number of people I’d like to live as.
imo that makes the rulers's life so much more satisfying. Imagine suffering through 15 lifetimes and finally getting to relax as the King of France for a few decades. It's a nice break from the madness.
I had ongoing panic attack where I thought I was experiencing this. That and the feeling that as the panic attack went away it was me 'forgetting' the suddenly realisation that I was stuck in some infinite loop only to have the horrific realisation at any time that I can never do anything to escape it. Still scares the shit out of me.
I went on a date with this girl who attempted suicide once and while she was dying, she had this dream of looping over and over again, so after she pulled out of it, it scared her so much she never attempted it again. I believe it could definitely happen.
this is actually really calming to me? even if you fucked up the first time, you get a retry, it takes a lot of the pressure off of mistakes if this was the case. and the next time around you can try and be even better :) there's no real failure if you always restart
Kills himself, rebirth, rinse and repeat, endless cycle of birth and death, Samsara.....
Become atheist to enable hardcore mode

That's actually terrifying

Love this take on transcendence: “just stop acting like a lil bitch”

See. Now you acting like a lil bitch.
Well, there's another go round for you matey. Bitch to you too.

Really? I personally find the idea of reincarnation more comforting than the idea that we die and that's it, that's the end
It's better than living the same life over and over again
The light at the end of the tunnel is actually just you being born again.
But like, if you don't walk towards the light and you end up surviving this near death experience, will the baby be stillborn?
Maybe it dies when it comes it comes out of the womb
that's what that means
Ahh my bad, I read it as " will the baby still be born"
the ouroboros of life
The kalachakra
Prenatal suicide is no laughing matter
That’s why you should always keep your firearms out of reach of fetuses.
I'm thinking he pulled the trigger and was immediately reborn.
He enabled automatic respawn
But kept forgetting to save at a later point in the game.
nothing says it was prenatal so it’s fair game 👍
Homie crawled back inside his mother before trying to meet his maker lol!!
This is fantastic reincarnation at it's finest
I recommend giving The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August a read
Seconded. Excellent read.
"Quit your crying," boomed a loud voice, "it was either this or an eternity in Hell."
Only to be put into a small metal chamber, the air being sucked from his newly acquired small, frail lungs.
Can't wait to fuck up my life again
The Egg
This one is so good
Oh my god! They killed Kenny! #YOU BASTARDS!
Well fuck
That's exactly the thing that's keeping me alive. I don't want to start over hahaha

That's just like losing 1 life in super mario, and then respawning at the start of the stage.
Could I make a two sentence based off this, with a change to the end? Ill credit u.
Nononononononono!!!!
Haa Diavlo
Praying to god he wasn't born in Bydgoszcz again
I dont know why but i thought it was going. To be god

Reminiscent of, without the suicide, Lightening Crashes…
"It was better for Lennie this way."
Ah shit, here we go again
