Are human beings ever born again as animals?
Tours TravelThe question as formulated; I do believe in reincarnation, but I am a bit confused because I have read in some books that a human person can be born as an animal in another life. Could you explain this to me and clear things up for me?
I guess we’ll have to assume that anyone reading our little chat in a way already has some inkling that life doesn’t end when the physical body is discarded by the personality that inhabits it. There has been so much extensive evidence for reincarnation that I won’t try to convince anyone of the obvious, but I will leave those who are bent on a one-life scenario to their own beliefs. The funny thing about this is that no matter how vehemently a person believes they are entitled to a single life, followed by a somewhat hazy future, there is nothing they can do to limit themselves to a meaningless existence if that is what they want so badly. .
Reincarnation is one of the natural characteristics of “physical reality”, that is, the existence of reality in a world of concrete and rigid objects and events, formed from the internal nature of atomic structure. The main reason why reincarnation is a necessary feature of physical reality is that no physical object or body can last forever, and in the case of your physical body, its disappearance should not be a permanent condition but a time of rest. and renewal. In other realities, such as his familiar dream world, reincarnation is not necessary as dream constructs, unlike physical ones, do not deteriorate or die like physical bodies do. A thought never dies, nor a dream, even if you lose track of it.
Reincarnation is only one of the two main features, the other being that all physical worlds (and there are many), exist on a psychological bed of probabilities. What that means in simple terms is that all events, past, present and future, exist in a very real inner universe of creative momentum towards things to come, providing an inner psychic reservoir of possibilities for future development. With that being said, back to the main topic of this discussion, reincarnation, what is it, why does it exist and how does it work?
Self-conscious and self-propelled inner energy is the source of all manifestations, objects and people, animals and plants alike. If it weren’t for your propensity to classify and categorize things by arbitrarily dividing them into groups as you like, then you could easily see that these groupings are very misleading. It is you who decides who or what is ALIVE and what is not, and in fact, what does alive really mean? Why do you say that the man is alive and the rock is not? Aren’t they built with many of the same elements? Is it a rock, not alive (dead) because you don’t see it move? You don’t usually see the movement of the coral, but you can’t deny that the coral is alive.
Everyone you think of as living organisms reincarnates, from snails to humans, the difference is that lower life forms get in and out of living structures more easily than you do because they aren’t burdened by the existence of ego consciousness and intellect the way you do. do you know them. . The reality behind all living matter lives forever on those terms just not continuously, but surely maintains a certain continuity of life from one existence to another.
When an animal reincarnates, it may only do so within its specific classification, and I don’t particularly like that term, since it’s also arbitrary, but it’ll have to for now. In general, as with all species, it will seek to reincarnate in the same form, a cat into a cat, or merge consciousness with other species to form a more complicated species within the same classification, such as a squirrel reincarnating into a dog. . In other words, a squirrel can live like a squirrel over and over again, but there will come a time, even within these seemingly lower classifications, when the need to advance will require combining energies with other species to form a more meaningful existence in terms of values and psychological satisfactions. There are no real limits to the possibilities within the reincarnation progressions of animals or men, but there are practical limitations. What I’m saying here is that even the simple cell is an incipient entity, that at some point, somewhere, it will come to fruition.
Thus, all reincarnation realities are pretty much limited to intraspecies lives, which means that mammals will reincarnate as mammals, birds as birds, and fish as fish. From examination of the fossil record, it only appears to you that birds became dinosaurs through the process of reincarnation and evolution, but you are not seeing the full picture and are missing evidence that would show countless intermediate species not taken, which were He hit an evolutionary dead end, leaving confusing gaps in his understanding of reincarnation. But for the sake of our discussion, all species reincarnate and evolve within their own classifications, developing refinements and changing and adapting to their environment.
So, in answer to the original question, NO,,,,,,, man does not reincarnate into any animal and, likewise, no animal has ever reincarnated or evolved into a man or a woman. In other words, there is NO transmutation of species. Period. There is no reincarnation or cross-species evolution, though your sketchy records may lead you to believe so.
There is another ramification of life and death that you probably haven’t considered. Lost somewhere in ancient times, when countless primitive species sought meaningful lives in a new and rapidly changing environment, between man and primate, there were countless varieties of ape-man and ape-man that went extinct, leaving you wondering. . that you’re looking at a continuous progression from ape to man. It is not so, man has always been man as fish have always been fish, birds have always been birds, mammals have always been mammals. The similarity in gene structures simply indicates that all life is very similar.
Finally, if you want to be really specific, you could say that there are elements of monkeys, dogs, flowers, and trees in man. Let’s say you die, your cells eventually fall out of your body into the soil where they lie dormant for years, combining with other natural elements in the soil. Let’s also say that in that same place, other animals and plants have died and their bodies have also been assimilated to the earth. A farmer plants corn on that same plot of land that is made up of many past elements and cellular structures of countless creatures and plants. The cultivation of corn assimilates nutrients from the soil, some of which carry traces of living things from the past.
An expectant mother eats corn she bought at the supermarket that was grown on the same plot of land, and her body uses these corn-derived nutrients to facilitate the growth of the fetus inside her body. Your mother did the same, not thinking that by doing so she was passing on to you the remains and history of the Earth and its ancient and present life forms, so life always springs from death and you could say in a quite real way. . , that in your physical constitution you carry the traces of many other past species.
Conclusion; There is NO transmutation of species as you think. You will never be a cow.
