i regard reincarnation as true. not in the familial sense. my apprehension is that ive lived many different lives within this lifetime. ive also discovered that each new incarnation came about after a phase of fervent physical &emotional pain. a lot of crying happens. death, illness, beggary, breakup, giving up a dream, waking up from a dream, letting go of a job u love, breakup again, substance abuse, fail again.. &again – all these things have led to rebirth. to new lives.
the Buddha taught that transfiguration &impermanence is a fundamental certainty of existence. he further pointed out that this factuality made grief inevitable. he didnt mention that sometimes, after the pain is gone, u open your eyes to a life beyond your wildest dreams. thats what happened to me. To God be the glory.
