Reincarnation is the ability to remember events of a previous life, but what if we could plug into that deeper flow of life?

In a sense, we are like leaves and fruit on a larger tree. That dimple in the middle of your stomach is where the stem was. What you would find even more interesting is plugging back into the whole tree.

Our culture has quantized and atomized and digitized and monetized virtually everything we touch, but if you sit back a little bit, the life starts flowing through it again. Sort of like the pollution faded and wildlife starting wandering some suburban streets, during the shutdown.

My personal sense hasn’t been so much a particular previous life, but being at the current top of a very deep well.. The insights I keep coming up with I sense are flowing through me, rather than specifically from me. So my input isn’t so much to try to “own” them, as to keep the lens clear, not cluttered by personal needs and wants, to see what else might bubble up.

When I was quite young, I would worry about dying and it would be just this blank void, so I just let my mind wander off and the void just became part of the lens, through which stuff bubbled up.

We are the consciousness, more so than what we are conscious of and it is like the light shining through the film, than the images being illuminated. It’s like when you are close to someone and get that sense of it being the same consciousness bubbling up through both of you. Your senses and their senses feel together.

Which is where that article seems to be going, that flow through life, while using reincarnation as an example.
