The Science of Enlightenment -- Reincarnation?!!

[Guest guest]

My copy of 'The Science of Enlightnment', by Nitin Trasi, turned up

this morning. Whoever recommended it (I didn't save the original

email), thank you.

 

The one thing that strikes me most forcibly, is the author's belief

that reincarnation is a myth. He states that upon dying,

enlightenment occurs (if it hasn't already), because the belief in

separation is simply part of the body/mind complex, and therefore

dies with the body. He also states that there is no such thing as

the soul, and therefore there is nothing to reincarnate. He

dismisses past life memories as time-independent telepathy.

 

Now, if this is true, I'd dearly like to know! Enlightenment as a

means of escaping moksha seems like a good idea, but when it's

simply a bringing forward of something that's bound to happen in a

few decades anyway, then it loses much of its importance....

 

Views, anyone? (Though I know my timing's off, it being

Thanksgiving and all...)

Hi gill,

 

Your plain-speaking and down-to-earth message brought a smile to my face!

Nitin and I have been in touch, and if you'd like I can forward your

question to him if he's not a member of this list... If so, then, over to

you, Nitin-ji!

 

Love,

 

--Greg

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is

Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality

of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge,

spontaneously arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to

a.
