Chapter 8 - The Science and Spirit of Reincarnation Flashcards
Cosmological principles
- Principle of repetition - oscillatory model of cosmos (big bang)
- Reincarnation
Bodies
Physical, vital, mental, and intellect bodies are quantum possibilities in consciousness.
Gross body
Only physical body is structural and materially localized. Vital and mental bodies entirely functional, created by conditioning.
Subtle body
conglomerate of vital, mental, and theme bodies in which memory of past propensities (karma) travels via modified quantum mathematics of vital and mental bodies (quantum monad)
Causal body
Bliss body
Reincarnational memory
Generally dies with physical body, not carried by quantum monads. Can be accessed by quantum nonlocality across time and space
Why are there so many more people today than in earlier times? Doesn’t this violate conservation of the number of souls?
Individuality of soul, quantum monad, is epiphenomenon of experience. No need to think of number of individual souls at any given time as constant.
Evidence of survival and reincarnation
Experiences related to altered state of consciousness at death - window of quantum nonlocality that connects death and rebirth of quantum monad
Reincarnation data
Data on discarnate beings - mediumship and channeling
Reincarnation model
Reincarnational memorization takes place at very early age through nonlocal communication with dying self of previous life
Genes
Instructed to make proteins, there are no special-talent genes for people to inherit. Suggests talent due to past-life conditioning
How does a medium communicate with a discarnate quantum monad?
Consciousness can’t collapse possibility waves into isolated quantum monad, but if it becomes correlated with physical living being (medium) collapse can happen. Sbutle body of medium temporarily replaced by discarnate quantum monad whose habit patterns mediumship takes on
Channeling
Go into altered state of consciousness, brain waves suddenly jump in frequency to unusually high beta frequency of over forty hertz
Angels (or devas in Hinduism)
belong to transcendent archetypal realm of theme body, which Plato called realm of ideas.
bodhisattvas
liberated beings who after death take rebirth in sambhogakaya form (possibility form). Quantum monads no longer need to transmigrate pronensities and unfinished tasks from one life to another because they finished karmic obligations
