First of all, let me say that I agree with you about religion being a mechanism of population control and driven, behind the veil of altruism, by greed.
Heaven and Hell are subjective and are experienced HERE on earth.
Reincarnation is a lovely idea held by more of the population of this planet than christianity. However, to describe it as energy being conserved at the moment of death, is an oversimplification.
Example. A transformer is a device with two iron bars each wrapped in coils of copper wire. One(either) generates a field and the other is affected by that field. The physical differences in the respective coils give them their specific properties. The result is a certain volt/current
ratio is 'transformed' into a different volt/current
ratio.
It works because of the nature of electromagnetism. It is 'harnessed' by the configuration of materials, blah blah blah...
If I take it apart, stretch the wire out of a coil then it no longer works the same. It no longer 'harnesses' the energy the same way. The energy is still their, somewhere as spinning electrons or a disturbance in electromagnetism or radio waves or heat or sound, etc.
This
mortal coil, works because of a collection of MANY physical properties working in unison. And I believe that it DOES generate a field of some sort that can be affected.
I just believe that it dissipates upon death. No more blood pumping and
heating the body. No more sodium ions trading charges across lamina with potassium ions creating tiny galvanic charges in the body. No more conciousness.
Look at brain damaged people(like myself). Their conciousness is affected, yes?
Anyway. That is what I think happens in these three plus one dimensions.
I hope there is more to it in higher dimensions. I really do. I get sad when I think this way. Like everyone, I want to continue existing.
If reincarnation exists then why so many people? Why does a NEW soul have to wait until an OLD soul 'gets it right'?
I know that there is more, much more, than I can see. But at the moment that is what I have to go by.
Sorry to rant. I don't consider myself right. Its just what I see. If any of the books about reincarnation are true, then there are some things I cannot explain. "Many Lives, Many Masters" is a pretty good one for the case. Edgar Cayce says it exists, or rather "the Source" that he channeled said so.
Please prove me wrong so I too can visit the Elyssian Fields...
