Initiation of the Body

[Shin'Ar]

Not trying be critical Cyan, just trying to get an idea of where your thinking is at. bear with me if you don't mind.

So if I understand you, you think that this identity that you are right now is the first time you have been incarnated? You do not think you have lived any past lives?

I dont know. =)

May I say that it seems that you are still attached to the right hand path teachings of the patriarchal which teaches that in death one moves on to a heavenly state of awareness.

i say this because in your post you eluded to your family and freinds welcoming you into the next life.

The problem here depends on what you believe. And if you believe that there is only one life and then heaven, than what you say could be true. But if you believe that the consciousness evolves through a long process of reincarnation, than that list of family and friends is going to be extremely vast, and if they all know you through different incarnations, how will they know you?

these are the considerations that must be rationalized in this upgrading of your thought process.
