<blockquote data-quote="ik-jivan" data-source="post: 132570" data-attributes="member: 11730"><p>Tejwant Singh ji,</p><p>You and I really do see things from opposite sides of the spectrum . . . this is good. . . we can learn a lot from each other’s perspectives.</p><p> </p><p>I actually see ‘ik-jivan’, or ‘one life’ as a continuum. We move from one place-time to another, we change our form constantly . . . you know, how the cells of our bodies are completely replaced every 7 years, et cetera . . . and yet, the witnessing consciousness remains. . . wiser for the learning, but still reasonably intact throughout the journey.</p><p> </p><p>Truly, I spent almost my entire life ‘feeling’ like I would not be returning after this lifetime, so thought my intuition was telling me that reincarnation is simply not a relevant issue. Last year, though, I did give it some thought and I stitched together the facts of my own life, with the various accountings of seeming past-life recollections and regression therapy research, and so on.</p><p> </p><p>What I conclude is that there is only one shared consciousness. This idea is not my own, but has been theorized by C. G. Jung as the ‘collective unconscious’ and as the ‘noosphere’ by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. I also find the <em>Kabbalistic</em> concept of there being just one created soul agreeable.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to reincarnation, I am inclined to think of the unique and distinct consciousness we each possess as compositions . . . like a literary work or musical composition . . . like a Shabad. So, while the Shabad is a unique composition of words, the words are not unique to the composition. Souls and the bodies they accompany are arrangements of qualities and characteristic that are unique to the space-time they occupy, but the substance of a soul is universal. Passing from one life into another, one may or may not retain the memories of previous lives. It all depends upon the cohesive strength of the soul-substance in that form and whether there is a need for that particular arrangement to be repeated.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of Guru Nanak Dev ji, there was a need for the arrangement to be repeated, seamlessly, without intermittence, as is the usual case with reincarnation. I have in front of me a book titled ‘God as viewed through Gurbani & Science’, written by Subedar Dharam Singh Sujjon. Page 49 reads:</p><p> </p><p><em>"We have discussed that the Formless Being appeared in the Form of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s spirit changed into ten different bodies, to keep the sway of Sat-Naam going. Though the bodies changed, yet the technique of Sat-Naam (WAHEGURU) bestowing remained unchanged."</em></p><p> </p><p>And from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, page 966</p><p> </p><p><span

[QUOTE="ik-jivan, post: 132570, member: 11730"] Tejwant Singh ji, You and I really do see things from opposite sides of the spectrum . . . this is good. . . we can learn a lot from each other’s perspectives. I actually see ‘ik-jivan’, or ‘one life’ as a continuum. We move from one place-time to another, we change our form constantly . . . you know, how the cells of our bodies are completely replaced every 7 years, et cetera . . . and yet, the witnessing consciousness remains. . . wiser for the learning, but still reasonably intact throughout the journey. Truly, I spent almost my entire life ‘feeling’ like I would not be returning after this lifetime, so thought my intuition was telling me that reincarnation is simply not a relevant issue. Last year, though, I did give it some thought and I stitched together the facts of my own life, with the various accountings of seeming past-life recollections and regression therapy research, and so on. What I conclude is that there is only one shared consciousness. This idea is not my own, but has been theorized by C. G. Jung as the ‘collective unconscious’ and as the ‘noosphere’ by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. I also find the [I]Kabbalistic[/I] concept of there being just one created soul agreeable. With regard to reincarnation, I am inclined to think of the unique and distinct consciousness we each possess as compositions . . . like a literary work or musical composition . . . like a Shabad. So, while the Shabad is a unique composition of words, the words are not unique to the composition. Souls and the bodies they accompany are arrangements of qualities and characteristic that are unique to the space-time they occupy, but the substance of a soul is universal. Passing from one life into another, one may or may not retain the memories of previous lives. It all depends upon the cohesive strength of the soul-substance in that form and whether there is a need for that particular arrangement to be repeated. In the case of Guru Nanak Dev ji, there was a need for the arrangement to be repeated, seamlessly, without intermittence, as is the usual case with reincarnation. I have in front of me a book titled ‘God as viewed through Gurbani & Science’, written by Subedar Dharam Singh Sujjon. Page 49 reads: [I]"We have discussed that the Formless Being appeared in the Form of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s spirit changed into ten different bodies, to keep the sway of Sat-Naam going. Though the bodies changed, yet the technique of Sat-Naam (WAHEGURU) bestowing remained unchanged."[/I] And from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, page 966 [FONT=GurbaniWebThick][SIZE=4][FONT=GurbaniWebThick][SIZE=4]sih itkw idqosu jIvdY ]1][/SIZE][/FONT] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]seh[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]i[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] tt[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]i[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]k[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]aa[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] dh[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]i[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]th[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]o[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]s j[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]ee[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]vadh[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]ai[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] ||1||[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][I]The King, while still alive, applied the ceremonial mark to his forehead. ||[/I][/FONT][/SIZE] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=GurbaniWebThick][SIZE=4][FONT=GurbaniWebThick][SIZE=4]lhxy dI PyrweIAY nwnkw dohI KtIAY ][/SIZE][/FONT] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]lehan[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]ae[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] dh[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]ee[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] f[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]ae[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]r[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]aaeeai[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] n[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]aa[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]nak[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]aa[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] dh[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]o[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]h[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]ee[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] khatt[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]eeai[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] ||[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][I]Nanak proclaimed Lehna's succession -
