kakapo

Mods unsure if this is cool or not, please delete if not. (or let me know and I will delete it) Normally would post in the current events forum but I can't find it.

@kakapo never attended a school nor had a qualified teacher, which is why he reacts that way when any esoteric term, such as astral travel, is mentioned. Please don't assume. You know what happens when you assume. I am very grateful to my school and teachers.

The observer continues from one lifetime to the next, the ego, the identity, the memory was the subject of observation. Those are left behind and a new round of observation begins, new memories are formed, a new ego and identity is established. This is the case for most people. Some groups of people viewed this as a problem, and some practices and lineages were created to address this perceived problem. Also please be careful with who's advice you listen to in this thread. I see you interacting with a person here who thinks they can shoot eye lasers, fly faster than the speed of light, give themselves brain power injections, open portals to other universes, kill ancient Naga demons, and has a harem of anime elf girls. No I am actually serious, they claimed this publicly here on the forum. Please realize that some people here are either role playing or delusional or some combination thereof, and please be careful of who's opinion's you listen to.

Imagine that a man from the USA was traveling to France. He was mugged and they stole his ID and Passport, and pushed him off a bridge. He fell a great distance and hit his head, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. He was in a coma for many years, and when he awoke, he could not remember anything or even speak. He had to learn the language (French), and learn everything again as a child would. Years later he has no memory of having lived in the USA, and only knows of his new life in France. There is no self in the sense that ego, identity, and memory do not usually survive between lifetimes (unless specific criteria are met)
