Linear-Time Reincarnation? - 06/23/10 03:48 AM
Just wondering what your take is on reincarnation. I find it a very uncomforting belief. Part of what keeps me going, through a death of a dear friend or loved one, is the thought that I can communicate with their spirit from time to time (like in dreams or whatever ways they come through) and also that I can look forward to seeing and being reunited with them when I die. I look forward to being greeted by certain people I've loved who have passed on before me, and being shown around the new digs. Elise... I bet you know one of those friends that I have in mind. :) We've talked about her before, and I so would love and look forward to seeing her again. ;)
ANYway... but if they've already come back, they won't be there on the other side anymore. :( That doesnt seem very comforting to me.
Then I thought... well, if all time.. past, present, future, is interconnected, and that all time is "NOW"... then maybe, when we reincarnate, we go to perhaps a time in the past, the present, or the future. Maybe that explains parallel realities, and also explains that, despite the concept of reincarnation, near-death accounts are always along the lines of "I saw my friends and loved ones waiting to greet me on the other side".
Just wanting to know what you all think. :)
ps: During a spiritual "chat" with a friend whose passed on, the one I spoke with Elise about, she showed me and told me something along those lines. That all time is happening right now, that everything is interconnected, and she showed me a sort of "disco ball" where all the facets are like other lifetimes and alternate realities. I never forgot that vision. :)
