I just had the greatest philosophical experience just a few minutes ago. It was like a door just open that was locked moments before. I have always toyed with the idea of reincarnation and how we could have been either male or female in a past life, or past lives, or even something else. I also thought about the idea of how some people who have had gender problems; such as gay or straight men who are born into a female body or gay or straight women born into a male body. They learn at a very early age that something isn't right about the body they have and soon learn that they should be the opposite gender.
A few minutes ago, I connected these two ideas. If you believe in reincarnation, and you believe people can be born into the wrong body, then it is agreed that one could have been the opposite gender in a previous life and their spirit still remembers it as such. Which in then creates this gender confusion at an early age for most homosexual/straight people.
It is crazy to think that this could actually be possible, but in reality ANYTHING is possible. I believe in all possibilities. And in this case, IT MAKES SENSE. If you believe in reincarnation, it explains this strange phenomenon; which isn't so strange once you think about it.
The book I spoke about in my last blog post has open so many new possibilities to me. I'm only into the second chapter and I am already spiritually and mentally awakening. It feels amazing. I feel warm and fuzzy inside. It truly makes me feel at peace knowing that I openly accept all ideas and study these ideas before limiting myself to one thing. Why deprive myself of knowledge. The more I learn, the more I grow as a person both mentally and spiritually.
Another thing on reincarnation that I would like to mention. The age old saying that one must learn from one's mistakes. And this could be said for reincarnation and how we "keep coming back until we get it right". Well, how can we learn form our mistakes? Most of us who may believe in reincarnation, or even toy with the idea, can't actually tap into our past life memories. In this book that I am reading (Mindwalking: Rewriting Your Past to Create Your Future by Nancy L. Eubel) teaches you to do just that. We can learn how to tap into those past life memories in order to learn about ourselves through spiritual processes. We can also learn from the mistakes that we may have made in a past life in order not to repeat or to fix them in this present life. In the end, we become more attune with the world around us, bringing us closer to spiritual awakening and spiritual nirvana.

i think i would like to be reincarnated as a cow, having people pull my utters all day. I would'nt mind!
ReplyDeleteI will further inform my readers of what I discover after I am finished reading this book and testing out some of the theories that she talks about. I am very interested in learning about myself on a deeper more spiritual level.
