Question: How are the soul and samsara connected through the chain of reincarnations? If the soul is a vessel, then what participates in the chain of reincarnations, and what needs to reach the state of liberation from samsara? Or, if a person is a program, can they be born in both the future and the past? When they die, light leaves them, so what remains? How is reincarnation possible when the light leaves a person?
I’ve reflected on this topic before. But again, these are stages of understanding. We need to remember that we can’t judge all people based on one type of person, like your classmate, for instance. There are different types of people, different levels of development, and different souls. It turns out that there is a group of people who are simply born, die, and are reborn again, but they haven’t yet reached the point of becoming conscious beings or immortals. These people live on autopilot, which is why it’s often said that they seem to lack a soul. However, if we look closely at the words, we could say that they still possess some form of energy from God within their bodies. Let’s put it that way for now.
There’s the first category of people – the most primitive group. This is the first group of people who live entirely on autopilot. They have no ability to see different social strata, no ability to notice or observe things from the outside, or even make a real choice. In truth, they have nothing. They’re like donkeys chasing a carrot. These are autopilot people. So, there’s no point in wasting time being upset with them or expecting them to feel or see things the way you do. Because you’re not part of that first group, obviously, or else you wouldn’t be reading my books. But people from the first group are like this. And what’s interesting is that I didn’t understand this before. I used to wonder, “Where do these empty, dumb, autopilot people come from?” But in fact, there are a lot of them, and they’re not bad people – they’re just unripe, undeveloped. They look like humans, but it’s too early to engage with them in certain ways. Their actions, behavior, and words are fully automated. Moreover, these people can almost seem like 10 people making up one whole. It’s as if a single person is spread out over ten individuals. As a result, they are entirely dependent on each other. If you were to gather all 10 of them, you’d get someone like me, for example. But individually, each only has one capability, while everything else is out of reach, so they rely heavily on one another. These are the kind of people who, when they die, their light just returns to the source. As for their individuality – what we’re used to thinking of as someone’s identity or self – it’s as fleeting as a dream. The person was here, and then they weren’t. It’s like a background character.
