Evidence for reincarnation

Definitely not the first time OC has brought the subject up only to have it die a fiery death.

Evidence that consciousness can be destroyed?

Poster brings up a subject (incarnated) eventually the thread is abandoned (dies). Poster brings up the same subject (reincarnated). Evidence for reincarnation. :cookiemonster:

Every form that comes into being dies. In theory anything that can die can be born again. The caveat is that the qualities inherent in form are not born and do not die. They exemplify reality and provide the possibility of form.

I suppose consciousness can be destroyed per instance. They'll never get all of us though. :oldman:

Consciousness is not a 'form'. It is the medium in which forms are perceived. Thus it is not subject to laws such as "Every form that comes into being dies."

I think of it as a process. Processes aren't forms in a strict material sense but they do arise and dissipate.

I think perhaps the propensity of reality to produce consciousness is something that goes beyond form. Reality also tends to create stars. The stars aren't eternal but the ability to manifest them may be.

I like it except for the manifestation of stars,
do you mean accommodate star formation?
with manifest, I think of agency.

Yes, formation would also work. Manifest as a verb means to reveal or display.

There's no logical reason to suspect consciousness is any different than any other phenomena. It comes and goes like everything else.

Consciousness reincarnates. The potential for it is eternal. It's formations are not.

maybe, or maybe what is meant is that attitudes and personality become reborn at appropriate times within one life.

Absolutely, which is what I alluded to in the OP using OC as the example.

Quote:

Pretty straight forward. An instance of anything never lasts forever. The formation of a thing is eventually deconstructed.

"eventually decomposes" might be more accurate, but stupid is not part of it.
