Reincarnation as a vehicle out.
    #5688018 -

I got to thinking.... how does one become someone so profound as Einstein, Ghandi, Jesus, Buddha?

How does one literally become that person? How did they arrive where they were, exceptional human beings reaching their fullness, realizing their potential?

So just a random idea I entertained is this..... with each action we sew various seeds.... perhaps Einstein is the archetype of a man striving to understand empirically... Jesus the archetype of a man striving for constant compassion...;.

perhaps we have these so very dull lives, with a long period of time to put them on a path... and there are various paths which lead to liberation through various archetypal ways....

And perhaps by planting the proper seeds of constant compassion you begin birthing on a path to literally BE Christ?

Of course, if Christ already exists whats to say the other way around isn't true, that he rebirths in each and every human and is just waiting to be watered in order to become him in the current life?

Hmm.... I don't know. Just a thought.

How does one become someone like Einstein? The conditions have to be absolutely and completely and totally ripe. Perhaps one of your last human lives is living in such an existence as to be an important and self actualized man, not necessarily famous, perhaps no one will ever hear of you?

Perhaps time is meaningless so as to make the extinction of resources nothing to worry about... just as likely to be born a caveman as you are in 2532 ? unless your karma is so severe for disrespecting Earth that you are to be born in the midst of its death rattles (and whos to say that that isn't what we are undergoing?)

You learn to store energy by not indulging and lessening self-importance.

what is the difference between indulging and experiencing?

They are completely separate in my mind. Indulging is the act of not taking responsibility for yourself. I indulge when I wine and complain about how life is unfair or this or that situation is awful or someone or other is doing something to make me feel bad or upset. There are a thousand other examples. That drains tremendous energy.

Jesus was filled with the holy spirit fully -- and he didn't choose it, really (save for the fact that it's pretty accepted that he is God in human form). It was God that gave him this power. He didn't do it himself, really. That's kind of a loaded sentence right there, to say he didn't do it himself, but I hope that it's taken to mean that what HE did can't really be redone.

Einstein was born with a little different kind of make-up of his brain.


An autopsy was performed on Einstein by Dr. Thomas Stoltz Harvey, who removed and preserved his brain. Harvey found nothing unusual with his brain, but in 1999 further analysis by a team at McMaster University revealed that his parietal operculum region was missing and, to compensate, his inferior parietal lobe was 15% wider than normal.[16] The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Einstein's brain also contained 73% more glial cells than the average brain.


I haven't done very much research on Buddha.

ah well I was deviating from traditional Christian thought..... as the story of him being the son of God, being born of virgin, etc, seems rather circular, just trying to get the Bible to be it's own authority...

I was saying, Jesus as a man who found holy spirit on his own and then became who he was.... and then people wrote things about him. Presumably.....

just theoreticals here... I suppose many lives of cultivation yield in the pinnacle of a birth similar to the holy men.
