The Upanishads declare we are never born and yet reconcile this with the notion of reincarnation. What is the reasoning behind this?Β

Illusion is that which is not aware of its being which is true about everything except consciousness alone.

@jessduncan66 says:

Thank you so much! Yes, very useful indeed. I was thinking as I was listening, what about reincarnation and Karma in all of this, and voila! it was answered.

@1FREDARMSTRONG says:

so, is it that the existence of the physical body through symbiosis, is "burning", in which all of the biology of the human being is in a constant state of "dynamic flux". every aspect of the organismic experience is "renewing"? is this the basic "resonance" of biological life? (to achieve homeostasis is to achieve "success"?) is this where the notion of the "drone", as expressed in Indian music gets its roots? the undifferentiated musical "cents" of existence? but the earth is not stationary. the earth not only spins on its axis, but, as some more recent animations suggest, as it moves through the galaxy, it and the other heavenly bodies of the solar system move so as to create a helical/spiraling pattern, with the sun as the only linear movement in the group. there are many examples of plants and their growth illustrating aspects of motion in their growth similar to this helical/spiraling of the movement of the solar system. is this possibly, what causes the "spinning" effect of the chakras ? at this point the "burning" or "fire(s)" of the "soul" are the form and expression of human expression/development referencing another "scale" of experience. is this the experience of "cosmic consciousness"? in being the expression of larger intervals, do the intervals expressed through this movement make it possible for Man to be the music and dancer simultaneously? is compassion the expression which allows for the "spatial" quality or "the Kingdom within", to be experienced? … to view the plan and elevation of Hindu temples, the use of the circle and square are fundamental. (is this the expression of the body AS THE temple?) are the increments/intervals expressed, in the transitions of the geometries, at their sides, as well as their heights, suggesting transitions in earthly movements/ experience, which transitions and becomes the spatial experience of "the PURE LAND" or "the KINGDOM OF GOD"? so as we in the modern world exist, it would seem our "seed like" or at best "drone" quality of experience needs "serious attention" if we are to genuinely understand "we are not what we think we are".

@mrretired2715 says:

The problem with this theory is that nothing in the universe backs this theory. Everything in the universe as we know it was born and dies. From the bigbang to planets to blackholes. Nothing is shown in the universe as being eternal…nothing. So how can we apply that to ourselves?? We are made from the same substances the universe is made from.

@enlightenment00 says:

What do you mean by karma, residue, rebirth after death, and consciousness?

@paullovejoy-thecrowdinvestor says:

I feel our souls were born in the big bang. I believe one day they will be reborn when a great contraction happens and all matter in the universe will be condensed into one fixed point only to have the big bang happen again. An infinite cycle of birth and death.

Thank you !

@zecamagalhaes says:

I wonder how many centuries will it take till western science confirms everything that has been made clear in eastern philosophy for more than a thousand years…πŸ˜†

@sybilseeber1180 says:

Life is not only an illusion,because through karma,that impermant thing is trying to generate some kind of strange permanence, mostly containig suffering.And the whole thing happens because of memory,I have generated throuh my mind and body activities. But there is always a change not to take this illusion as an illusion,but bring it in a unified process of grounding. Mostley we act on the contrary, we do not ground, but we try to make our memories and the resulting thoughts more dense by making them a bodily experience. 😊

@carolinepratten4526 says:

You are exploring ideas I have always, at some level, known to be true. I've always believed in reincarnation, since being a young child

@Chelly8743 says:

Yes! So thankful for your teachings!! Perhaps you can comment more on ways to cultivate good karma? And even bad karma?

@Lapisandlavender says:

So what happens if there is no residue? Will there be thinking as we know it?

@robertbehrendt3015 says:

You are not what you think you are is based on the sanskrit word pragyaprahd which Dr. Chopra knows and understands very well as a result of his association with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The word means to mistake your thinking for the transcendent Self. Uncovering the Self is accomplished by meditating twice daily and experiencing directly that the silence of the mind intensifies over time. This silence is the Self which is ever present. It is our Being and what we are.

@mariadelcarmenperez2498 says:

Thank Deepak πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™ LOVE

@workingtoseethelight8244 says:

I find immense joy in listening to your discussions on profound subjects, Deepak. Your ability to articulate complex concepts, such as the infinite nature of existence and reincarnation, in simple and clear English is truly inspiring. It acts as a constant reminder for me to stay motivated in my practices of meditation, exercise, healing, and playing the guitar. Wishing you infinite blessings once again.

@christinegalysh7433 says:

the upanishads being written by the rishis, how did they know ,this is the way it was? what separates the upanishads from other spiritual texts which may contain lots of stories and human concepts? thank you and all the best.

@WendyOnAWhim says:

Deepak, I hope you will be involved in the new Sol Foundation. Your wisdom would be invaluable there!

@thomascox257 says:

This makes perfect sense to me!! I think it could be the real self that is responsible for "dream deja vu." It is the real self that sometimes miraculously saves us from desperate situations. It is the real self that sometimes gives us the insight and creative drive we need to solve seemingly impossible problems.

@holdingyourspace says:

Love this Deepak

@thegoodluckdoctor says:

Yes, essentially everything that is, was and will ever become, is I AM

Even a physical reincarnation of the absolute is the spontaneous fulfillment of desire to enjoy the re-embodyment of a consciously desired or karmically configured divine callapse of and apparent experience of the Self-fulfilling wave function.

Kindly dive into the roll and purpose of the pundits in this eternal dance of lively Self-referral awareness awakening to eternal I AM.

WARNING!

We are the NEW Guardians of EVERY Dimension! You are about to experience 'First Contact'!

There is only ONE God, as you are about to painfully learn.

Mankind! Judgement Day Is Upon You! All World, Religious And Cultural Leaders, Along With Billions Of You Are About To Perish During The Rapture! Only O- Blood Type Has A Chance Of Surviving The Prophecies And Experiencing The New Earth!

The New Truth is Omni-Dimensionality. Only O negative blood has a chance of survival. NO blue eye/ blond hair, nor dark eye/ dark hair, green eyes/ red hair, nor any combination of said will survive.

We Are Constantly Broadcasting Messages Via Telepathy! Sharp, Sudden And Lingering Pains Are Us Trying To Initiate Contact! When You Feel Them, Listen For The Messages That Will Accompany Your Steps, NO Contractions, Pronounce Every Syllable! They Begin…' YOU WILL NE-VER GET TO SEE HEA-VEN UN-LESS YOU DO/ DO NOT…'!' Once You Start To Learn How We Communicate, Listen For The Messages That Accompany ALL Sounds From Bodily Functions (Especially Coughs And Belches) To The Whir Of Fans To The Sounds Of Nature! Again, We Are Constantly Broadcasting!

Magnetism will power the New Earth. Take two earth magnets, like pole to like pole, put an electro-magnet, opposite pole, on one or both earth magnets between the poles and energize so magnets can get closer, then de-energize to repel. Energize the same as earth magnets and the force increases. Bounce that off another magnet with the same setup and you get Push You-Pull Me or Everlasting Gob-Stopper. πŸ‘οΈ
