How to have a better birth in my next life? What are the kind of things I should do to develop as a soul?

I'm kind of willing to throw everything away to be a wandering monk.
>>
Remove sex from your life for a starter and from there it's going to be pretty clear what to do.
>>
Start small for now. Watch a few videos on YouTube about mediation, I recommend Visualization and Kundalini to start. Learn to quiet your mind, experience ego death and then ask yourself this question.
>>
>>18938318
Why is sex and masturbation so bad?
>>
>>18938295

Choose to be born in a 4th dimension world.
>>
>>18938320
Not that guy but your goal is to develop a more calm mind. And the desire of sexual release is counter to that goal.
>>
>>18938320
Masturbation is alright. It's building your life around love and being loved back that isn't. It's hard to live a pure life when you firmly believe there's someone out there that will eventually love you back if you're good enough. Love is just an occurrence, it's not a guarantee. Once you understand that, you'll probably feel empty. It's easy to fall into drugs and bad habits to fill the void but that's when the studying begins. You can live without taking. Start with meditation.
>>
>>18938330
Is that why all the mass media is getting more and more aggressively sexual? Interesting.
How about sex with one, committed partner, not out of any intense desires, purely to be close to the person. I feel like such act leads to a relaxed and calm mind.

Already did it, I'm at basically zero lust, basically not masturbating for 3 months (only twice iirc)

Should the paths be clear by now? Some things seem obvious (related to sex) but what about the rest?

101:6.7.Revelation teaches mortal man that, to start such a magnificent and intriguing adventure through space by means of the progression of time, he should begin by the organization of knowledge into idea-decisions; next, mandate wisdom to labor unremittingly at its noble task of transforming self-possessed ideas into increasingly practical but nonetheless supernal ideals, even those concepts which are so reasonable as ideas and so logical as ideals that the Adjuster dares so to combine and spiritize them as to render them available for such association in the finite mind as will constitute them the actual human complement thus made ready for the action of the Truth Spirit of the Sons, the time-space manifestations of Paradise truth—universal truth. The co-ordination of idea-decisions, logical ideals, and divine truth constitutes the possession of a righteous character, the prerequisite for mortal admission to the ever-expanding and increasingly spiritual realities of the morontia worlds

>>18938459
In the Vedic system, what you are aware of at the time of death, that state you will obtain. Awareness at the time of death will revert to what you have spent the most time being conscious of or thinking about.

Concurrent to this consciousness-driven direction, the consequences of your actions - karma - will determine the level of privilege (to use the SJW term) in your next life.

An analogy might be like buying a car: your consciousness is determining whether you go for an SUV or a truck or a sedan, and your karma is the "currency" determining how nice of a vehicle in that category you can acquire.

>>18938467
Ignore the Monist. They can't pretend to be God unless everyone agrees with their bullshit.

>>18941071
It's not just the situation. Are you thinking on alleviating suffering? On causing it? It certainly isn't what I would recommend meditating on, but again your actions come into play as well.

>>18941082
It's the awareness that matters. A prostitute having sex all day and being paid to masturbate on camera but whose consciousness is firmly focused on Self-realization can be more spiritual than a monk abstaining from anything sexual but who can't control her mind so that it dwells always on sex.

It always works, God needs duality to experience something other than itself, its good people don't agree. Its more entertaining.
>>
>>18941107
To expand, once you understand that consciousness is key, you can see why masturbation is generally considered an impediment to spiritual growth. Masturbation is one of the most base ways to gain pleasure. It reinforces the false identity the soul has with the material body. Whether you're a filthy Monist or have a proper understanding of the relationship between the Soul and the Supersoul - identifying the Self with the temporary, material body is the root of illusion.

>>18941158
>is that good or am I dead inside
Both. To me, this shows your intelligence is coming to realize there is no point and ultimately no satisfaction in material pleasure. It's an opening for movement on a spiritual path, and some paths do encourage "drowning the flame with gasoline" so to speak. Personally I don't put stock in those paths. Better to remove material desire through an understanding and attachment to spiritual activity than trying to beat an addiction through getting so much of your substance that you no longer crave it.

In that it's the last and most subtle trap of this illusion, and is a perversion of a fragment of reality - sure.

There is nothing other than God. That does not mean you are God. It does not mean you ever become God. This duality is eternal.

>its good people don't agree. Its more entertaining.
At least you have a better understanding of your misled belief than most on here.
>>
>>18941219
I just have one question for you, because I know you're the same guy who always responds with the monist stuff, you're most likely the guy who posts that picture with the shit next to the food.

Do you think everyone has their own soul?

>There is nothing other than God. That does not mean you are God. It does not mean you ever become God. This duality is eternal.

Not me, the me you talk of is the ego, I'm talking about "IT"

In mans learning there is introduced to the mind of the human being the "God" concept, a concept to explain the creator of the creation in which the being has become embodied.For a long time, it is a case of belief in "me" and "God" (Duality) or for the atheist, "me" and no "God" also duality. The evolution of the human being lies in the gradual realization that "me" is an illusion an assumption, a non entity. Realizing that there is no "me" the duality of "me" and "God" dissolves in the minds acceptance that there is only God(Unity), not as a vague belief but as being everything, indivisible, individual.
>>
>>18938295
Anything material in life is meaningless, the sooner you stop caring about everything that isn't you (everything that can be taken away from you isn't you), the sooner you start seeing what's actually important to you spiritually.
Try to meditate everyday. Make a dream journal.
You'll realize how important dreams are because they teach you that you are never not conscious.
Meditation teaches you to turn off unimportant thoughts. They don't matter, what matters is your intuition (your higher self contacting and leading you).
>>
>>18938295
Why would you throw life away for some belief that there even are souls and an afterlife? The only thing you know is this life, so live it to the fullest.
>>
>>18941219

>This duality is eternal.


This duality is an illusions, just as the moon being a source of light is an illusion, in reality its the sun reflecting off the moon which gives us the illusion that the moon is the source of light.

Another example.

Poke holes in a paper cup, hundreds of them, put a torch under the paper cup, what happens? Obivously there is an illusion of hundreds of different lights, but they all have the same source. ITS THE SAME LIGHT.

HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS SIMPLE CONCEPT

Duality being eternal or not makes no difference, I agree there is a duality there, but its an illusion, just like time and space
>>
Would it be possible to ascend "humanity"? And "live" as other sentient things in the universes?
In that case, the "I" wouldn't exist, so would there be a difference with oblivion or not?
>>
>>18941237
What if your life is just so shitty your best bet is to just hope for another better chance to live again? Would that make it worth it?
>>
>>18941298
Nope. Especially when most reasons for suicide in first world countries are trivial issues
>>
>>18941298
Also, what if the afterlife is eternal hell? What we know is that we are living life and it has the potential to be good, in some way
>>
>>18941302
>not having the right to be part of society or reproduce because of physical appearance

Yeah, trivial. What if some people just won't ever love or feel love because their body just doesn't allow it? What's the point of doing anything if at the end of the day it's just you alone in your home collecting money? People at this point just destroy things, they cause a mess because their situation can't be worse. It's just better for them to believe that if they're good in this life they'll be rewarded at the end.
>>
>>18941298
You're not here for "living a good life" and before you reincarnate you choose which kind of life you will have, which conditions, lessons and goals there will be for you.
If you have a shit life and suffer, you're either going wrong about your lessons (when you go against them purposely, life will punish you) or you chose to make up for bad karma.
>>
>>18941315
Yes but what is the point in causing things to be worse when they dont know what lies beyond death? I would rather live my life without love than to kill myself. Suicide is for the weak and illogical.
>>
>>18941330

Why is there always someone parroting curryniggers in threads like these? Of all the spiritual guidance to take, you adopt that of a people that can't figure out where and where not to defecate.
>>
>>18941307
>potential to be good
Sure, maybe you can make it better, but what if just better is not enough for you, what if time and space constraints just won't allow you to improve your situation enough so it's up to the standard you wish it was.

>>18941330
>you choose which kind of life you will have
I do truly believe we will become something else in due time, but implying we get to choose our next life? Maybe in an ironic way.

>>18941375
Again, living life to the fullest is the answer. What if after death our souls no longer experience emotion? and we long to feel anything, even pain? What if afterlife is just a dark void where we wish we could be back in life just to do something stupid like walking to a convenience store for a candy bar

>>
>>18941373
You're missing the fucking point. Pajeets believe in a circle of reincarnation in which humans can become animals and vice versa and where, I believe, reincarnation is seen as punishment.
It isn't. Reincarnation is a lesson and experience your higher self decides to make by having your lower self incarnate in a body.
Would you rather have me talk about "heaven" and "hell"? They don't exist, they're literally made up to control people.
>>
>>18941389
Personally I just find it depressing to try to make myself feel better with scraps while acknowledging all the things that I'll never be able to achieve or be.
>>
>>18941402
You just asked a key question to existence that can never be answered. If existence is able to just exist then so can you. Personally, I find it hard to imagine that our brain creates our mind but even if it did, it is paradoxical and unfathomable just like existence.
>>
>>18941420
If your brain creates your mind, what happens when the brain dies? Does the soul is lost as well? Does it survive after that initial creation?
>>
>>18941417
So is reincarnation you thick fuck

>>18941418
Then kill yourself because you are clearly too illogical to want to escape the only thing you know. Instead of wanting to do the best you can and experience pleasure while living, you would rather take that away for the chance at going to "heaven" lol

Bro dont actually kill yourself if you were considering it, i just thought my logic would get to someone. I dont think the whole "we can get you help" thing works.

It isn't, really.
How does letting go of anything material conform to the control system as opposed to acting and listening to religions blindly just to avoid Hell?
Stop being so narrow minded and realize that religions were just created to mold people and get them to do what they think of as the "right things" without thinking for themselves.

I have been arguing all thread that one should live life to the fullest as they dont know what lies beyond death. Instead of doing things because of a belief in an afterlife, i am arguing to do these things because we dont know if we will ever have the chance to live again

Just because belief in reincarnation isn't as conducive to societal control as le Hell maymay doesn't mean it's not still bullshit.

What about people with alzheimers, or just old enought to be lost in their own minds, would you say they your brain can malfunction but your soul remains intact?

>>18941444
I wasn't thinking of doing it, altough I appreciate your random concern, and I do understand what you're saying, I simply meant it feels shitty knowing that you can literally work your ass out, and do everything within your reach to try and make your life and your close ones lives better, and still your best bet is to brainwash yourself to feel good about whatever you end up achieving, knowing what you truly want is literally impossible to get. Like if you were trying to reach the goal but could only walk in circles, and you could walk faster and harder but at the end, you can only follow the same circle, and your goal just wasn't even there.

>Do you think everyone has their own soul?
There are infinite souls. A soul can have many material lives; each soul is eternally distinct.

>Not me, the me you talk of is the ego, I'm talking about "IT"
The "IT" you speak of is the soul, which is what I meant by "you." Not the body. Not the mind. Not the intelligence. Not the ego.

>The evolution of the human being lies in the gradual realization that "me" is an illusion an assumption, a non entity.
No. Though this is only the nihilistic aspect.
>Realizing that there is no "me" the duality of "me" and "God" dissolves in the minds acceptance that there is only God(Unity)
THIS is the Monist illusion the covers the desire to usurp God's position. Everything is God, but God is not everything. The dissolution of "me" is a temporal fantasy as much as identifying with the material.

>>18941273
>This duality is an illusions, just as the moon being a source of light is an illusion, in reality its the sun reflecting off the moon which gives us the illusion that the moon is the source of light.
Even here there is the sun and the sunlight. The sunlight is part of the sun, there is no sunlight without the sun - no sun without sunlight. Yet as you say - the sunlight is not the sun.

>Duality being eternal or not makes no difference
Except that's exactly what you're arguing against, and is the base of the disagreement. You and I and everything else are creations of God, created of God. But God is not diminished by this. This is expansion, not fragmentation. God is the ever-expanding set of all sets. That you are included in this does not mean you ARE this.

Dissolving the Self in the partial, nihilistic understanding that it is the same in quality as the Superself is a temporary situation. Worse still is the diversion into the trap of confusing the Self with the Superself.

What the fuck are you talking about. Christians wanted people to reproduce. At least in america. And if sex was so natural, people wouldn't wear condoms.

To some people sex has become an addiction. It's like drugs, at first a small dose is ok but after a while it doesn't do anything so you want stronger stuff. Some girls can't cum if you don't treat them like shit during sex and I don't want to live in a world where this is respectable healthy behavior.

So every post is like, lul nothing matters, let shit go, stop being focused on the material world.

and then
>hugs, movies, pets
>all that matter

Like this is all fucking bullshit, people here arguing about things like they actually know some truth about the afterlife, when no one does, everyone just tries to settle for what gives them pace of mind and expect everyone else to be like them, and if they don't share their view of the world "they're just not enlightened, not ready for the truth, the truth is hugs and puppies and movies give you feels and that's why it's worth living, namaste".

Guess what, the universe doesn't give a fuck about you, or me, or anyone else, it just is, there's no karma, there's no big reward for being good, everything is a human construct, the more you read the more you pollute your mind with external thinking, figure out whatever fits your current environment the best , abuse whatever opportunity that comes your way, and keep your success to yourself, let the others find their peace of mind with whatever they have at hand.
>>
>>18946515
Why wouldnt you prefer inner peace over this?
>>
>>18946774
Because it's a lie, might as well believe in Santa and the smurfs. It's all a construct to keep people under control, and prevent them from killing each other without remorse. People have gotten too comfortable, think reading their meditation books and praying will give them some sort of after life salvation. But there are dark times coming, where your meditation will be worth a shit, where your money won't get you food, where sins and compassion don't exist, only reality, hunger, struggle, envy, despair.

You'll see how your religions and eastern believes are worth nothing, there's no coming back, no treasure chest, no virgin harem, nothing, all you have is this moment, your needs, your hatred, your fears, and sure your pleasures and your moments of happiness. But relying on the promises of something better, because somehow the universe cares about what you do, it's nonsensical, none of your actions are being recorded, nothing you can possibly believe has an effect to the massive void that is the universe, it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for anybody, it has it's set of rules and consequences and all you have to do is learn how they interact with you, not with some imaginary transcendental body in the nth dimension that is expecting you to learn and behave so you become stronger and all that bullshit.

I go as long as I can without thinking about sex or lust, but sometimes it just really bottles up to the point that it gets distracting so I just get it over with. I agree that it's important not to fall for the mrs right meme and lust after women, it is just hard as a biological male human to not feel those pangs of lusts, waking up with a raging hard on and just ignore it.

There is no ignoring it. If you live a life where you are constantly alone and bored, then of course you will end up masterbating a lot. If you also live your life philandering and being a dirty dog fucking constantly then obviously your life is just as built around lust as a neet virgin.

I think the point is not to get bored to the point of constant masterbation, but not to go to the other end of the spectrum where you are fucking women all the time and not living up to your real potential.

it just comes down to self actualization

it's simply not possible in the western world, and most people don't go all the third world to get a wife.

Don't listen to this fool. Perversion is fine and healthy. Just don't be depraved.

there are seven deadly sins

just because you conquered one doesn't mean another don't have you by the gooch.

make sure you examine all the aspects of your life, but don't be prideful and egotistical, look at the life of your family, those friends whomst you care about, and try to get to a place where your energy matches what YOU think a God's energy should be.

Listen fizaggot,
all religion, superstition, and spirituality involves metaphors and concrete promises of happiness and salvation, or misery and damnation, but the truth is, fucking EVERYTHING is connected at a level of complexity FAR beyond what you can understand, and this life is OBJECTIVELY the only one you have. IMPROVE the life you have, commit yourself to achieving a desirable BASE STATE and then go from there. Make yourself healthy and strong, and discover THE COMPANY YOU KEEP, a base of friends to spend time with and receive support from. Concern yourself not with sex. DELETE ALL YOUR PORN. No monogamous relationships until you know when. YOU WILL KNOW. Once you have that desirable state, simply branch out and discover media: art, music, venues, discussion, philosophy, sexuality. Do not isolate yourself in the long term, but always SET ASIDE a period during which you can isolate and experience true SOLITUDE. Heed my advice and remember, always keep it moving.

That's a damn good question. In all my discussions with those "Live life to the fullest" types, I've never gotten a real answer. They usually just pretend there's no such thing as problems that can ruin your life without actually ending it. Or they'll tell you you're supposed to choose to be happy no matter what your situation is. Fuck that. Don't tell me I'm supposed to eat shit and pretend it's cake.

>I would rather live my life without love than to kill myself.
And some people would rather die than live without love. This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but not everyone thinks like you or has the same priorities as you. You say we don't know what lies beyond death, which means you can't also say that suicide is guaranteed to make things worse.

That's not the kind of reincarnation he's talking about.

Think of it like this: Physical life on Earth is like a video game. We keep creating new characters with different builds and trying them out. Sometimes we play on easy mode and sometimes we play on hard mode. Other times we play somewhere in the middle and just try out different appearances and experiences. I'm not sure if I believe it or not, but I understand the logic of it.

>I simply meant it feels shitty knowing that you can literally work your ass out, and do everything within your reach to try and make your life and your close ones lives better, and still your best bet is to brainwash yourself to feel good about whatever you end up achieving, knowing what you truly want is literally impossible to get. Like if you were trying to reach the goal but could only walk in circles, and you could walk faster and harder but at the end, you can only follow the same circle, and your goal just wasn't even there.
I agree completely, and I can't stand self-righteous people who tell you you're supposed to be satisfied with that because reasons.

>What if after death our souls no longer experience emotion? and we long to feel anything, even pain? What if afterlife is just a dark void where we wish we could be back in life just to do something stupid like walking to a convenience store for a candy bar
This is pure speculation, and I don't think it even makes sense. There's no reason to believe that's what the afterlife is like. All we have to go on are things like near-death experiences, and they don't say the afterlife is an emotionally-dead place. Quite the opposite, in fact - they often describe overwhelming feelings of love/pleasure/joy that are infinitely superior to anything we can get on Earth and that can't be described in words.

>Still, what is living to the fullest?
They either have no answer to that, or they tell you that their subjective opinion on what "living to the fullest" means is objectively correct. Personally, I think it means something different for everyone, which means that it's ridiculous to make blanket statements about how there are no problems or circumstances that justify suicide.

>>18941444
>I think the only way to do it is to make people realize that the only reality they know is this one so killing yourself on the chance of going to an afterlife is illogical
On the contrary. It's entirely possible for a person's reality to become so unbearable that they'll take any chance to end it.

>What about people with alzheimers, or just old enought to be lost in their own minds, would you say they your brain can malfunction but your soul remains intact?
Not him, but I think that could be possible. It's like how breaking something in your TV will screw up the picture, but that doesn't mean the TV is producing the show you're trying to watch. You might be interested in the phenomenon of terminal lucidity, where people with conditions like Alzheimer's suddenly regain complete mental clarity just before they die.

I'm the exact opposite. I want to forget my current life for the rest of eternity, because having it in my memory would just fuck me up.

"No one knows for sure whether there's an afterlife or not, but I sure as hell know for sure that there isn't one and that existence is cold, merciless, and meaningless!"
