Heaven & Hell
to be fair , can't really say anything about heaven and hell because some part of me believes that whatever you are truly thinking about becomes your reality. So for the people who is sure they are going to hell that may be the case.
but on principle i do no think there is any judgement on your life other than your own.
So i wouldn't say i believe in them , no... but i do think there is a possibility those places exist..
Re-Incarnation
This one is more about *time for me than anything else
because i think that death is just a blip in the time space continuum.
Like a tree never really dies or is born , because it's just forms into something else.
The rule in science, that no energy can be created it just changes.
AND i think the essence of a person is what makes them 'a person' although the body is which we express that essence to.
SO i think that if after some time in that body , the essence get's stronger.
AND let's say you die at 89, then you've spent a fair amount of 'experiences'
( another way of measuring time is ; Measuring it by how many things you've done - i like to count happy things , and things that make me grow as a person.)
Knowing that we have effects on the world around us ,
we can see that we emit some kind of energy ,
Although that's more to do with WHY being a human is so cool.
(Because we get to choose what we emit. )
Anyway .. so you have all these experiences and the body is just an expression of that essence.
Just like there are many types of plants and animals that have their own characteristics and then deeper personalities for each 'individual' ... that is a slightly different expression of the 'same thing' (collection / species ).
So the children and children's children take a little of each 'individuals' mix and grow it some more.
And in Buddhism *it says that you ARE the next generations..because you don't leave a place until you have learnt the lessons. If one looks at the way humanity has progressed, and where we are now.. we have a lot we can learn...Which is why i know this is one of my 'last times' on earth.
and i've heard some things about how you move together in a group of 'souls' you've been with before.
So what you do in any life , you do to yourself anyway... it makes a lot of sense... it would be a wonderful way to get to learn things .
You are the teacher you are the master. It resonates with me a lot.
Because i can see certain cycles in my life of specific events that taught me things.
That, and my godmother told me a story of when i as 4 and showed her a quill and proceeded to show her how it worked and told her all about it..i don't think i knew about quills that much then.. that's before i recall reading properly...
i ALSO happen to be a good writer.
I have also met people who share 'lives' with me. (and i've never seen so much with another person as i have seen with my 'Boyfriend'.)
It works like this. * One of us says something that we 'daydream' or feel so strongly towards, it's your intuition talking so it's good to listen. Then we compare what we feel when we think of that thing.. and more often then not and with certain details we'll both have the same so it's not just 1 of us. *Which makes it a correlation... *
I like to look at my life and events like that deeply. Because there seems to always be a 'plot twist' or some revelation i didn't know existed.
So all in all* i believe you enter and exit bodies , but see all the lives as 1 life , not as separate lives.
The lives are more of a segment, or a stage , or a blip and death is the dash...
......however you wanna call yin and yang.
But as we saw earlier , all energy only changes , so technically it's the same thing.
Which goes into the detail of how you can be yourself , what seems like 'more than once'.
All energy is itself - expressing itself , in different forms.
Much like the variety of species , solar systems , cells , cell organs... atoms , protons, quarks..
Although i will say this , i am still thinking / reading / learning about the nature of the death period
i often understand these things through looking at the cycles in my body as a start point.
But i prefer to focus on life , since i am quite young and i know i have some more of the road ahead of me , so i like to contemplate it from time to time
because even though we get to choose things,
there is a certain movement that is not ours to an extent.
I think you can, in a way prolong life... eating well.. thinking happily... but that is an event that WILL happen .
That is a certainty.. in a universe so full of * 'chance AND *variety'.... to *have a certainty that big...well that's *pretty interesting.
Life though , life has i feel , a purposeful force.
Choice is the pretty awesome thing. ( and you asked me a big question , i hope this answered it.. if you need more info or need me to clarify anything tell me , hey it's really nice talking to you Jade! Even though Facebook sometime is kinda a bad thing i feel.... it let's us do this ... the internet is an interesting place.. what do you think of it?) Love xox
I've stated talking to my cousin who's a little younger than me on our beliefs.. i often find my best poetry talking to people - be that a love sonnet or a poem about someone , or my viewpoitns or ideas...
