The Meaning of Life in Eternal Return Anonymous 06/13/18 (Wed) 02:36:15 15c15f No.6409

Almost of every school of philosophy from West to East believes in some form of reincarnation. Whether or not we come back as the same person or not is semantics. This isn't even mentioning the idea that our universe is just one of many.

My question then is how does reincarnation effect the meaning of life? How can there be any meaning if we have unlimited time at bat?

Someone explain to me the fucking point of reincarnation if I don't remember it.

Shit I thought I caught all my errors. Then again my post could've been done a little better.

It depends if you look at it through a religious or secular lens. In Buddhism/Hinduism you keep on dying and coming back, until you reach enlightenment and end the cycle by going to Nirvana. As for the secular view, I believe it's due to laws of thermodynamics, mainly the first and second laws.

"How can there be any meaning if we have unlimited time at bat?"

Define: Meaning. Do you mean "purpose"?

We do have unlimited times at bat. All living creatures are the products of their perfect spiritual selves. Those selves are Perfect Eternal Conscious Energy, each perfectly equal and equally perfect to each other. They have always been alive. They were never created. They are conscious entities: Eternal thinker-feelers. What are they to do with their consciousness throughout forever & ever? They have the ability to conceive & script dreamselves and dreamlives in dreamworlds and then manifest them, materialize them, and live them out in the flesh as if this was the only conscious life they have ever known, or will know. But death returns them to their original spiritual sobriety & sanity, their never changing Homestate of Awareness. And there they rest until bored enough to create a new dream to experience.
