@_OM hahah… not trying to trigger anyone. Just trying to find answers for myself.
Oh wow…really? I didn’t know that. So, this is part of the reincarnation process…the cycles you spoke about elsewhere on this forum? As you clear up one part, you move to the next plane of existence in your next lifetime and work on clearing up the next piece?
I found this wikipedia article that speaks about the 31 planes of existence.
Are these planes / games which you are speaking about?
That article adequately describes the Buddhist concepts of the 31 planes…yes.
To be clear as I sense some confusion…
Enlightenment (aka Transcending one’s ego/ego “death”) breaks the reincarnation process aka the wheel of karma aka being reborn into plane(s) of suffering.
And pointing to one of your other questions in another thread.
Enlightenment = TRUE Free Will.
Whew! Somebody’s Conceptual Realizations has kicked already! Nice.
Yes that’s exactly correct!
See this post here tho…
So again, you have TRUE free will to play or not play this game or other games.
Also remember, these other planes of existence are exponentially more peaceful and loving if you DO decide you would still like to keep playing.
@_OM Wow… this is deep. Thank you for clarifying it for me. So, it IS about transcending the Ego for starters, hence Ego dissolution audio. Need to sit with this one for a bit.
Does the ego also despise itself? Right now, i’m thinking, “i wanna kill this bastard and live my life already” but i’m pretty sure that “I” would never think that way and so it’s the ego hating its own self?
Haha sometimes I laugh at my own issues and I feel like that’s the “I” talking for a split second. Although one can never be sure because it could also be a fake ego created I. Only way is to get to the “I” organically and integrate the ego’s patterns.
