Venting I hope I'm reincarnated

[maidens]

sorry this is my 3rd post tonight, I've been having a lot of thoughts

when I ctb, I want to be reincarnated. I want to be a human being again. it's probably impossible but I also want to keep my memories intact so I can learn from my mistakes and have a second chance at life.

I want to become a better and happier human being in another life. I guess I could say I've always believed in reincarnation, but it's more like ive been praying for it really badly. maybe in my past life I was a terrible person and this horrid life of mine is punishment. maybe if I try to be a good person in this life my next life can be amazing and I'll finally be happy.

I hope im reborn in a world where magic exists. i hope i can be one of those flashy magical anime girls and bring peace to everyone. if not I hope I get to live a happy life as a normal person who isn't mentally ill and traumatized tobthe point recovery isn't an option anymore. I hope I have a good childhood with good parents and good friends and a good school and get married to a beautiful woman (I'm lesbian, and I do hope I'm reincarnated as one again) and live a good life with her and die happily. I hope I can live a life where, when I'm on my deathbed, I can recall everything until that point and be glad I lived

I hope I can be glad I lived, and live a life full of happy memories in another life

thats ok

so I can learn from my mistakes and have a second chance at life.

Whats stops you from learning from your mistakes at this life? When i think about reincarnation, i think i will be stuck in the same spot as now. I dont know how to become "a better and happier human" now, so i wont know that in the next life too.

what's keeping you from becoming a better version of yourself right now

No worries, not like the site's going to run out of space (I think)

I hope you get your magical girl afterlife, sounds nice.

what's keeping you from becoming a better version of yourself right now

any number of issues not mentioned in the post in addition to presumably homophobia and misogyny

that and she wants to be a magical girl living an idyllic life which is impossible since magic doesn't exist here

Reincarnation doesn't make sense to me

If I die and my "soul" is supposedly reborn as another person or thing, but that next incarnation has none of my memories or physical characteristics, in what sense is that person related to me?

If the other incarnations have a completely different body and mind, what other part of me could be in them? chances are none of the atoms that currently make you what you are will find there way into this new machine

Anyways, reincarnation means that you are reborn into a different body in the future. This makes no sense because the "self" is not this independent substance that gets "placed" into a body. Your conscious self is the result of the particular machine you have, and the memories and experiences you have had in that machine. Therefore there is no "you" which can be "reborn" into a different machine with different experiences and memories. It wouldn't be you. It would be whatever new thing emerges from that new machine.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Well, realistically 99.9999% of the world population doesn't remember anything about their former lives - that's in case reincarnation is real. I also wish to turn back time with the knowledge I have now and how my life evolved to make the better decisions at crucial points in my life - but that is sth different to reincarnation.

If we talked outside religion (buddhism), then the only point in reincarnation is i would say- that atoms dont "die", so its matter of (unlimited) time they will arrange again and create us again. Maybe?
if talked from buddhism perspective, you are moslty right. "What continues from one life to the next is a stream of consciousness influenced by karma, not a fixed identity or personality."

 

[sinfonia]

Me too. I wanna go for another round on the wheel of samsara; I'm not ready for nirvana just yet.

i also want to be reincarnated. i'm agnostic so i'm not religious so i don't think of it in the same way as buddhists do but the thought of different universes and different lives has always been so interesting to me. like parallel universes and stuff where there's slight changes between you and your parallel self and maybe you're in a different timeline and stuff. i sound so weird talking about this but it's so cool to think about. i always think about those posts that are like "maybe in another life we're together" "maybe in another life i'm easy to love" etc and i rlly want that. since i won't be loved in this lifetime i want to be easier to love and happier and normal in another life. i always think about how different my life would be if i made different decisions or if i was just born into a different place or with different parents. i wanna know which decisions made my possible other selves the happiest and be reincarnated as them

sorry for the super late reply, didn't see these until now

I want to but at this point it's too late. I can't reverse my mistakes and I can't ever go back, I've driven myself into a hole I can't crawl out of and I'm completely hopeless. I don't want to recover either because my mind tells me I won't be "relatable and cool" anymore if I don't (although I don't think the same about other people) and I've been like this for the majority of my life so being "normal" is horrifying to me, this misery is almost comforting. also recovery services are a joke

there's no more hope for my life and it's always just gonna be the same thing over and over. I want to start over completely, and reincarnation would allow that to happen

 

[JaegerCA]

I've thought about reincarnation too, and it would be amazing to be reborn as a entirely different person in a different situation. Maybe life would be better if you were born 5 miles away to a different family. Or at the very least, it would be great to just be alone in your own little world as your own little god in your own little space in some kind of universe.

While, I do believe that the soul departs after the body dies, I am not that big into reincarnation. But if that's your thing, you may find this interesting: https://www.ananda.org/ask/when-does-the-soul-leave-the-body/

thank you!

 

[freakshow]

i wish i could go back in time and redo my life, then maybe i could have transitioned earlier and maybe my life would be pretty cool and i would be a happy person
being reicarnated as a woman sounds nice too

The mistakes of the past are essential for the learning of the soul, it is by making mistakes that we grow, a peaceful life will only be monotonous and meaningless for the soul

 

[CantDoIt]

According to NDEs, reincarnation is real but it is a choice. So if you don't want to come back, you don't have to. Apparently people are often upset at "messing up" their life when they die, especially if they die by suicide or for example were unkind to other people, since souls have a generally "good" nature that is revealed upon death. Inexperienced souls are those that struggle with ego and attachment. So it seems likely you as a soul would be eager to return. This is just what NDEs state and I'm attached to this idea lol so I'm telling you that perspective.

 

[Minsu]

I hope I won't be reincarnated after my death. There's a big chance to be born in one of those poor countries since most of 8 billion people on Earth live there

So I would struggle again and I don't want it

 

[divinemistress36]

I do to, only because I want to be a neuroscientist and help find ways to help those with mental illness other than that I wouldnt want to come back

 

[hawkshorizon]

Reincarnation is only appealing if offers a radically improved second (3rd, etc) lived experience.

 

[bob40]

isekai is my biggest wish,
to ctb i chose scalpel and carotid, as i cant get my hands on most of the things in a useful dosage,thanks german laws.., so its pain, to remove pain (no heal method found to my sickness,so its pure pain,the whole day.. and a cut later, its gone.. unsure how easy it will be.but soon,thats for sure.(days not weeks)
but i hope for a better rebirth, less pain. much less..

Your conscious self is the result of the particular machine you have, and the memories and experiences you have had in that machine. Therefore there is no "you" which can be "reborn" into a different machine with different experiences and memories. It wouldn't be you. It would be whatever new thing emerges from that new machine.

I think the argument for reincarnation a lot of people make is that it isn't your personality, but your consciousness that moves from one being to the next. The human brain changes and rewires itself throughout your life normally as you learn and experience things. Your brain is physically not the same as it was a few years ago, making you a different person with a different personality.

Likewise your personality would change even more if someone decided to remove a chunk of your brain, but you would still be consciously experiencing it from within your smaller brain.

The new person wouldn't be you, but you would still be consciously experiencing life as the new person with the new person's personality. The stream of (some level of) consciousness is the only constant.
Also just for fun:

I don't want to recover either because my mind tells me I won't be "relatable and cool" anymore if I don't (although I don't think the same about other people) and I've been like this for the majority of my life so being "normal" is horrifying to me, this misery is almost comforting. also recovery services are a joke

Is being relatable important to you? In all of the friendships I have ever had (I used to have a lot but now I have none lol) we never really cared about relatability, we just did things together and for each other, but I get that your experience is different (and/or I misinterpreted). I know you're probably sick of hearing it and its hypocritical, but I'm hoping you consider recovery, or at least recovery for a few months just to make things feel better in the moment. You seem like a good person.

you could say so. I enjoy deep talks and I also find that when I'm feeling especially terrible, I'm more creative. all of my works (songs, ocs, game projects) have a lot of heavy themes and if I've recovered they won't be as good or other mentally ill people won't be able to relate to them as much because I'd be normal. I'm already uncreative as is and being like this at least means I can pour all of my negative emotions into a character or song and make them into something more from that. I feel like ill be boring if i'm not the way i am, I'm just a stupid and cute mentally ill girl and I don't know how to describe myself beyond that. sorry it's late and I'm tired so yhis probably makes no sense

I might consider it someday if I don't ctb. thank you

Why would I want to reborn? I won't remember anything, so the perception of a second chance doesn't exist. I also don't want to go back to this rotten world, one of my worst nightmares is having to reincarnate, the chance of returning to a life full of pain and suffering is great, since most of humanity lives in precarious conditions, while many people lives in horrible conditions. I don't understand how anyone want to come back, even if it's a happy and peaceful life, they will suffer for decades chasing needs, only to get old, get cancer and agonize in a hospital bed until they die again, all for nothing.

 

[samdocheon]

I won't be reincarnated. I mean I was born in the poorest place of a rich country , can't imagine to born in a poor country

Imagine being born in a country that is a dictator or at war, the way the population lives in these countries is completely inhumane. What if the soul doesn't perceive time like matter, which means you could be born in the middle ages, one of the darkest times of humanity.

Poor neighborhoods are dictatures too, not at the same level idk in fact but these Poor neighborhoods are strickly controled by drugs dealers and no police back up is possible.
If they want to fuck up you they do.

Middle ages...hum I think I was burnt alive a this period
