I've always believed in reincarnation, partly because it just intuitively</line><line from="00:00:07,680" to="00:00:13,120">felt right, and partly because of a number of memories that are as though they have always been there.</line><line from="00:00:14,240" to="00:00:19,600">This feeling intuition for the reality of death and rebirth, along with an exposure to</line><line from="00:00:19,600" to="00:00:25,840">Buddhist and Hindu scripture at a young age, led to the formation of a mental perceptual model of</line><line from="00:00:25,920" to="00:00:33,120">reincarnation, very much in line with classical Buddhist ideas that feature the concept of a soul</line><line from="00:00:33,120" to="00:00:40,320">which reincarnates through a series of lifetimes. According to its attractions and versions,</line><line from="00:00:41,040" to="00:00:47,440">until desiring, an eventually attaining enlightenment, and freeing themselves from the pain of</line><line from="00:00:47,440" to="00:00:53,440">constant rebirth. I don't think anymore that it's like this, I think there's far more going on than</line><line from="00:00:54,320" to="00:01:00,800">and I think consciousness is orthogonal to perception. What do I mean by that? I mean that even the</line><line from="00:01:00,800" to="00:01:09,040">concept of the linearly evolving multi-life being is illusory. This is because the entire concept is</line><line from="00:01:09,040" to="00:01:14,800">immediately recognized as a wholly imaginary construct when perceived from the perspective of what</line><line from="00:01:14,880" to="00:01:22,480">you actually are as boundless non-separate awareness. There is no me, I am an illusion.</line><line from="00:01:23,600" to="00:01:29,120">There is no you, you are me. We only think we are separate beings through a trick of attraction.</line><line from="00:01:30,000" to="00:01:36,880">We have lived every life together forever already. Your past lives are my past lives because</line><line from="00:01:36,880" to="00:01:44,320">we aren't separate consciousness and everything has already occurred and will occur. This means that</line><line from="00:01:44,400" to="00:01:51,680">there is no bondage, no karma, no past lives, no limitation, no restriction, no beginnings or endings,</line><line from="00:01:51,680" to="00:01:57,920">no separation, no distance, no place devoid of consciousness. All of these things are concepts</line><line from="00:01:57,920" to="00:02:04,480">created from the position of self-identification and are only real from that position. It also means</line><line from="00:02:04,480" to="00:02:11,120">that it's not only possible to remember something that might be your past life, but mine as well.</line><line from="00:02:11,200" to="00:02:20,560">Since in reality we have lived them all already together. There is no real limitation or</line><line from="00:02:20,560" to="00:02:26,640">seriousness to any of them and we are already free and always happy.</line></transcript></transcript></video>
