[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 211937, member: 18224"] What I am saying is that the human personality is just a 'character' being played by the ONE, Akal Purakh. You have to see past this life identity as being 'you' because its not. So to answer your question, yes and no. Because it's the same ONE universal consciousness (Creator) which is really the one who is experiencing everything, then yes, I believe sometimes glimpses of past experiences (or rather 'other' experiences, because even time is illusion) can surface in another human life, as in the child referenced above at the link. But ALL human personalities are really Waheguru experiencing subjectively through his own creation. So the human personality (ego identity) is just like a costume. Its temporary and false. But when the human body dies, the awareness that was operating through it does NOT DIE and DOES go on - fully aware. It would be like (and I have used this analogy before) if you dream tonight you are a surgeon, in the OR and have your patient and nurses, and anesthesiologist etc all there. While in the dream you believe you are the surgeon. You believe you are separate from the patient and the nurses etc. Throughout the dream, you build an entire story and life based on that character. The truth is, the consciousness, the awareness behind the surgeon is really Sukhsingh ji correct? (and you can also realize that the nurses, the patient etc are also Sukhsingh Ji because ALL of them were in YOUR dream created by YOUR mind!!) The surgeon identity was false, but when you wake up in the morning the surgeon ceases to exist, along with the entire identity you built around that character. So can you ask yourself [B]does the surgeon reincarnate[/B]???? Well, certainly you will dream again, the next night, and you will be a different character, [U]and you may even remember some snips of being the surgeon[/U]. But is that truly the surgeon who went on to be another character identity?? Of course not, it was Sukhsingh Ji, the dreamer who only dreamt of being a surgeon! The question of reincarnation to me is inconsequential, because you are asking the wrong question... rather you are asking about the wrong identity when referring to whether or not reincarnation takes place. Sukhsingh Ji is the dreamer, the awareness. That awareness is what continues beyond the dream, and goes on to dream again. Not the surgeon (at least on the same level). Now, referencing THIS reality. All of our human identities, our ego, our haume, are the dream characters. And there is only ONE dreamer. That ONE dreamer is the consciousness behind ALL OF US. But just like when you were the surgeon, and you totally bought into the dream and believed you were the surgeon while in the dream, so too are we in that same predicament right now. So the question is not will Harkiran reincarnate... the question is does the conscious awareness behind Harkiran, continue even after the temporary dream of being Harkiran ceases (and can that consciousness possibly remember being Harkiran while playing another character identity) and that answer is yes. This is just my own understanding, and I believe it agrees with Gurbani, see shabad on Ang 736 about Waheguru being the director and all the characters... also see the tuks telling us that as Gurmukh, when we realize our OWN SELF, and that 'HE IS ME' then what more is there to do or to have done....
