Always returning to something. The return feels soooooo familiar. It feels like I am always there. It feels like I have already died. Birth, life, and death all on one string.
We die and are born in every breath. We die when we sleep and awake to a new birth with fresh eyes. We die when we meditate and are reborn when we return. The moments between are the same. The moments between is this familiar place. Music needs rest notes enable for the music to play.
I think I have been reading too many Intezam posts...lol... We wish you well!
Intezam I mean this with the utmost respect my friend. I love how you speak in third person. We are all one after all. All going through the same motions. Choosing these lives we live.
Everything you just said seems to lend credence to Buddhist theory of life and death...that consciousness is in a constant cycle between physical incarnations...
When I reached death during my first DMT flash, I was overcome with intense dejavu, I knew where I was and I knew that I had been there many times...which again, lends support to the Tibetan Buddhist model of death...
Only in Tibetan Buddhism, incarnation does not necessarily happen willingly, you start at "the clear light" then you "degrade" into lower conscious states, and eventually, you take refuge in a womb, escaping for horrors of the between, of which there are many.
Quote:The soul who is still not liberated after the Judgment will now be drawn remorselessly toward rebirth.
The lights of the six Lokas will dawn again; into one of these worlds the soul must be born, and the light of the one he is destined for will shine more brightly than the others.The soul is still experiencing the frightening apparitions and sufferings of the third bardo,
and he feels that he will do anything to escape from this condition. He will seek shelter in what appear to be caves or hiding-places, but which are actually the entrances to wombs. He is warned of this by the text of the Bardo Thodol, and urged not to enter them, but to meditate upon the Clear Light instead; for it is still possible for him to achieve the third degree of liberation and avoid rebirth.
Finally there comes a point where it is no longer possible to attain liberation, and after this the soul is given instructions on how to choose the best womb for a favorable incarnation. The basic method is non-attachment:to try to rise above both attraction to worldly pleasures and repulsion from worldly ills.
