To Reincarnate or Not to Reincarnate - That Is The Question

Lol, souls have bodies. Just not the dense ones we have here in the 3D.

Reincarnating is done because I have lessons I want to (hopefully) learn. When I have learned all the lessons the 3D can teach me it's time to move on to the next step in my spiritual journey.

Whoa, I'm pretty sure incarnating is some kind of soul level addiction. Once started souls seem to accumulate additional lifetimes beyond any purpose or value. 'Growth' is one of the excuses for such behavior. Growth is just an example of chasing infinity. More is NOT better, there is nowhere to get, no goal to achieve .... What I am already being (not doing) exploring the infinite potentials and changing them to bring about different possibilities. In other words, nothing of any importance.

That is about the most profound and surreal statement that I've come across in these modern times - given that I've dedicated my whole "later (physical) life to exactly this : "chasing infinity". I wonder how many life times it'll take for me to reach the same conclusion; "there is nowhere to get, no goal to achieve."

At least for the indefinite "near future", I have an incessant curiosity about a sentient creature's relationship to this "Infinite" - it's based on the highest probability, that as every sentience in existence has originated from this source, it seems at the very least; "courteous," to me to learn more about it & at the most, an answer to "why origins (of anything)," in the first place.

Your words will surely echo in my mind for the rest of my days now... But its still up in the air, how I wish to choose to react to them.

Perhaps to clarify, once we are in the incarnation "system" we only can move forward within the development on this planet.

Only those who come from a higher density to be of service, can choose an entry point, to a degree. The degree is determined of the level of density one comes from. From this point on we have to play by the same rule as anyone else.

I sorta feel that "moving forward" is a natural direction - no matter whether its an "adverse forward" or a "promising forward" - either one will be "beneficial" in the grand scheme of migrating through this Infinity we cannot escape from (as of yet). Perhaps the only escape is to become as "God" Itself - although I suspect that's pretty far down the road for most of us.

As far as "density" is concerned, there was a unique presentation here, that equates with a term I coined in my Heaventology stories; as the "Hypostasis" (a wee bit different from original divine literature)

... in that I believe there are in fact, "higher densities" to operate within for all sentient entities in existence.

I am not sure if I would call it a soul level "addiction". Yes, to the outside observer many lives seem to serve little purpose and we might wonder what exactly is being learned. But maybe we need to go through all this to reach the stage where we realise that there is nowhere to go and nothing to achieve. We have to make the effort in order to eventually let go of all effort.

And my understanding is that learning through incarnation is initially a very slow process, but once we set foot on the spiritual path and start to look within then there is a rapid acceleration in development. All these seemingly purposeless lives are necessary to bring us to the start of the spiritual path.

I get the addiction thing. Like food, or alcohol or drugs or a woman ---
living as a human on earth gets its hooks into you.
That would be one reason to do what my signature says - to detach from this nutty idea
that we have arms and legs and parents or a gender ---when we are so much more beyond this place!

I've been cursed to never be able to break the cycle of rebirth like most souls can. My soul once belonged to a Valkyrie that abandoned her post, my punishment from the divines is to reincarnate endlessly. From my first life till now I've been a witch each life.

I just don't want a biologically Male body my next life as I was cursed with this time. I want to be born into a non-Christian family.

If I could escape rebirth I would haunt any one who uses religion to instigate hate because those sorts of people deserve to be haunted.

My astral form is that of a Phoenix.

Just in general, every curse, cycle or entrapment can be broken in the here and now. Through forgiveness to the self and others.
And besides, the divine does not punish.
If we feel, someone else deserves to be haunted, or punished, this is what we call in German "des Pudels Kern" (from Faust) Something like to core of it all.

It is hard to say as of right now...who you are today, hopefully won't be the exact person you will be when you cross over. Also, you will see things differently when everything is shown to you...you will feel differently about everything. It is really hard to say...but, I would like to play the piano. That's one thing I wish I would spend more time doing...playing music, painting, artistic pursuits. Wish I would have done more of that as a creative outlet.

Im sure I will incarnate again. Your soul decisions are not based on your earthly feelings or understanding. Of course, everyone here says....Im not doing this sh#t again!!!! But, then we do end up doing it again...lol.

I think finding a balance is key.

Finding a balance between the material and spiritual. Then while in the material, middle of the road.
