Reincarnation Point of View: The Illusion of the Ego and the Broadcast of Pure Consciousness
Reincarnation, as traditionally understood, is the belief that after death, the soul or consciousness moves into a new body to live another life. While this idea is deeply rooted in various religious and spiritual traditions, my perspective differs significantly. I believe that reincarnation, as many imagine it, does not exist. The reason lies in the understanding that the ego itself is an illusion—and with it, the idea of an individual soul moving from body to body.
The Ego as an Illusion
At the core of the belief in reincarnation is the notion of the individual self, the "I" that experiences life, accumulates memories, and identifies with a specific body. However, this ego—the personal identity we carry—is not the true essence of who we are. It is a temporary construct shaped by our experiences, thoughts, and emotions, existing only within the confines of physical life.The ego dissolves with the death of the body because it is tied to material existence. If reincarnation were to involve the continuation of this ego from life to life, it would perpetuate the illusion of separateness. But the illusion of the ego is exactly that—a fleeting, impermanent phenomenon that cannot transcend physical death.
The Etheric Body and Pure Consciousness
While I do acknowledge the existence of an etheric or subtle body that continues after physical death, this body is not an individual soul in the traditional sense. It is more like an energetic imprint, a temporary form that dissolves after serving its purpose. The true essence of life is the pure consciousness that exists beyond individual form, beyond ego, and beyond any single lifetime.This consciousness is not tied to one person, one body, or one experience. It is the source of all life, the universal field of awareness that broadcasts itself into physical avatars—our bodies. Just as a television set displays a program but does not contain the broadcast itself, our bodies act as receivers for this infinite consciousness. When one body dies, the broadcast continues, but the notion that "we" move into a new body is a misunderstanding of what we truly are.
The One Consciousness Broadcasted into Earth Avatars
In this view, reincarnation is not about the soul jumping from one life to another; instead, it is about the continuous broadcast of pure consciousness into new forms. Each body, or avatar, receives this broadcast and temporarily houses the experience of life. However, the consciousness itself remains unchanged and unified, not bound to the individual ego.The belief that "we" are reincarnated stems from the misunderstanding that the "self" is permanent. But in truth, there is only one consciousness—the universal source—expressing itself through many avatars. The sense of individual identity is simply part of the illusion of material existence. When we awaken to this realization, we understand that there is no individual self to reincarnate, only consciousness that flows through different forms over time.
