The reincarnation on the path to egodeath ones like Hinduism and Buddhism.

I kind of find it contradictory, mainly due to the idea of paying for the failures of past lives ie. people that aren’t even really you. It doesn’t give a reason for suffering other than to learn to not. Overall still a shitty construct, what’s the point, why didn’t it just start off with creatures that didn’t need to go through the ego death process? Idk just too many logical flaws in those as well imo

The system is designed to keep the flow alive. A river of life and death. Born Reborn. Hell Earth Heaven.

Yeah but why. I’ve always found the idea of the uncreated brahman to make the most sense to me, that the highest god is uncreated and doesn’t even know he’s god or what’s happening, and the fact that the major gods don’t even know why they exist they just know they do because brahman. so out of the religions i’ve encountered so far this is the most mentally appealing to me, but it still fails to assign meaning or reason which feels wrong

Because the ocean of Chaos is the true Eternal Reality. Life is a gift. This creation is designed just for YOU. The star is shine for the sake of YOU. Praise the Creator for the wonder of existence. For the alternative is nothing but Hell.

Again this dichotomy of this or that, enjoy it or suffer, is quite terrible imo. And the contrast would be non-existence/non-dualism, which could be all in all described as a state of pointlessness, also quite terrible. There really aren’t any good options/solutions (much like there are no good religions) to describe or justify existence.
