Experiential versus the God eye! Possessing __go vision_, a person__ view through her/his physical eyes is quite versatile; able to discern wide and varied vistas over huge distances or scrutinizing the minutest of details.Ego__ very nature: capable of relatively expansive, detailed, and yet individualistic perspective is crucial. Separating itself out from the God Force, ego extracts infinite unique experiences, integral to humanity__ process of spiritualizing matter. Incarnating on the earth, achieving individualism is therefore critical for attainment of divinity.Individualism may cause momentary estrangement from the God Self. However, this person has forgotten that they are everything in the mirror, the __liver_ and the __all of light_,_ continues Kuan Yin.During this complex passage Lena was inundated by infinite rapid-fire visuals: emanations from the God Mind.__urther and unfortunately, wrong assumptions are made about suffering. Some individuals even believe that it is required, that suffering brings one closer to salvation. Quite the contrary,_ disputes Kuan Yin, __he God Force likes to play. Therefore, if all individuals could unite creating a real sense of community many problems could be healed.The God Force is separate and not separate, whole and not whole at the same time. Really, it is not __liceable_, not reducible. Even when it is sliced into individual energies, it does not diminish the total God Force or the power of the individual.Each of you has the potential for the God Force potency. However, no individual can overcome the God Force. There is a misinterpretation, (by some) that Satan is as powerful as God. Limited energy cannot live on its own. Every experience must exist and yet they (the limiting forces) can never exist on their own. Limited energy, then, is the experience of the absence of the God Force. Therefore, there is no need to fear it.Those choosing such experiences have a need to understand how it feels to believe evil powers exist. Again, I say those who pursue this route are taking it too personally. They believe the story they__e made up about themselves.It is similar to a person going into an ice cream store and only choosing one flavor from many. Preoccupied with tasting that flavor for a very long time, they are probably quite sick and tired of it. Still, they don__ want to believe there are any other flavors available. The __greement_, then, is to continue to believe in that particular flavor. Here__ where reincarnation and its opportunity for experiencing a vast array of perspectives, __greements_, enters in. Another life offers another opportunity, a chance to __witch flavors_ so to speak.Taking oneself too personally, however, can cause a soul to get caught up, stuck in redundancy: in a particular (and perhaps unfortunate) flavor. In such instances, the individual is forgetting one has the ability to choose his or her flavors, lives,_ contends Kuan Yin.

Oracle of Compassion: The Living Word of Kuan Yin

Tell me something, Mari__o you believe in reincarnation?_ Mari shakes her head. __o, I don__ think so,_ she says. __o you don__ think there__ a life to come?_ __ haven__ thought much about it. But it seems to me there__ no reason to believe in a life after this one._ __o once you__e dead there__ just nothing?___asically.___ell, I think there has to be something like reincarnation. Or maybe I should say I__ scared to think there isn__. I can__ understand nothingness. I can__ understand it and I can__ imagine it._ __othingness means there__ absolutely nothing, so maybe there__ no need to understand it or imagine it._ __eah, but what if nothingness is not like that? What if it__ the kind of thing that demands that you understand it or imagine it? I mean, you don__ know what it__ like to die, Mari. Maybe a person really has to die to understand what it__ like._ __ell, yeah_,_ says Mari. __ get so scared when I start thinking about this stuff,_ Korogi says. __ can hardly breathe, and my whole body wants to shrink into a corner. It__ so much easier to just believe in reincarnation. You might be reborn as something awful, but at least you can imagine what you__ look like__ horse, say, or a snail. And even if it was something bad, you might be luckier next time.

[On scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss][Carl Friedrich] Gauss told his friend Rudolf Wagner, a professor of biology at Gottingen University, that he did not believe in the Bible but that he had meditated a great deal on the future of the human soul and speculated on the possibility of the soul being reincarnated on another planet. Evidently, Gauss was a Deist with a good deal of skepticism concerning religion.

American Judaism in Transition: The Secularization of a Religious Community

Until we find out who was born this time around, it seems irrelevant to seek earlier identities. I have heard many people speak of who they believe they were in previous incarnations, but they seem to have very little idea of who they are in this one. . . . Let__ take one life at a time. Perhaps the best way to do that is to live as though there were no afterlife or reincarnation. To live as though this moment was all that was allotted. (132)

A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last

Most people tend to excuse themselves with the opportunities they have in life, with how many years of school they have, with the people around them. And in doing so, they fail in realizing many other things, such as the fact that not many are lucky enough to give birth to a world bestseller on spirituality, wealth and success in life. Yes, your child may be a little reincarnation of an awesome buddhist monk, of an alchemist or a famous knight templar. Why most people can__ see these things, and keep looking at the past for answers, is something that still puzzles me.
