[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 198646, member: 18224"] Quoted from the other thread (since I kind of forgot which thread it was at the time lol): Ut oh... the R word again.... So Sikhi doesn't believe in Heaven or in Hell (as in the Christian sense) And it doesn't believe in Reaincarnation (as in the Hinduism sense) But, Sikhi also doesn't believe that this life is 'IT' as in,.. you die and you're dust and that's it and everything you were - your 'being' is gone, erased... kaput and you become worm food. So what's left? My take on reincarnation is a bit different... not in the sense that something separate migrates from one physical body to another like a ghost playing hop scotch... but if you understand that everything is really one thing... one base energy field... one base conscious energy field... that is ever manifesting reality through vibration... then its easier to grasp. The concept of death itself is moot point because there really is only one reality. Ik Onkar. We are what's not real.... really... in the end - the physical us I mean. The 'DOER' the 'I AM' inside you is what's real. The physical bodies are just characters being played (all of us) by the very same actor who also happens to be the director of this huge play we call reality. To merge back with the Creator, in my belief, is to simply awaken to the fact that collectively we all ARE the one. There are several places in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji where it tells us that once you realize your OWN true self (or that HE IS ME) what more is there to know. In the mean time... ONE base energy field.... which I believe is pure consciousness. I don't believe every consciousness is something separate. I believe consciousness is the ONE constant in the Universe. The Universe must have been created - implying creative intent. The Creator must be aware of its own creation. So I imagine the Universe to be one pool of base conscious energy which is formless, and yet through contemplation everything arises through vibration (celestial vibration). Einstein even said that everything we know to exist all matter in the Universe is merely energy vibrating at different frequencies. Consciousness itself as taking up no space and yet all space... difficult concept to grasp, but not impossible. (try imagining how much physical space your dreamworld at night takes up in our physical reality, and you will see what I am getting at) So, compared to an ocean, why can't the same drop of water become a raindrop more than once? I look at reincarnation as spiritual progression of the one universal consciousness... each separate individual that we perceive are really bit of the whole even though we don't realize we are connected. Merging back with the creator, in my belief is awakening to the fact that we all possess the divine... in essence, collectively, we all are the creator. Makes sense to me since the creator is both nirgun / sargun meaning both creator and creation... kind of the same as you dream at night and you are the dream and the characters and also the creator of the dream and yet within the dream itself, you have no form - and you are all forms (you, the dreamer are simply thought, brainwaves to the characters in the dream since you exist outside of it) Maya deceives with its illusions... you have forgotten that you are really the 'little dreamer' inside another big dream...so who really is the dreamer?? If you fell asleep and started to dream and could never wake up, would you realize you were dreaming? (not to bring the movie Matrix into it on purpose but the point is valid) We have gotten so caught up in the experiences of the characters that we have forgotten that we really are the actor and that this is just a play. And yes we have played and will play more characters until we decide to end our acting careers. (see SGGS p 736 for the analogy of reality as a play and the creator as the director and all of the characters, but once the play is over, and the costumes are removed, there is only one - and then it asks where have they gone to? Where did they come from? In other words there only ever was the one to begin with... only the audience would never know) I believe spiritual progression through all these different forms is just the natural unfolding of the Universe... so my concept is totally different than say reincarnation in a Hinduism sense. Hope it made sense?? [/QUOTE]
