Ask Deepak – Do We Reincarnate.

Thank you for what you offer. Though much of what you suggest makes sense and I'm willing to entertain, I get stuck upon the notion that people who are suffering--the poor and oppressed--may be in essence choosing and manifesting their suffering. It doesn't seem enough to say that they are here to learn because their reality seems imposed upon them and serve as obstacles not of their making. While I am able to recognize how my process of learning led me out of the suffering that was my childhood, through my own experience, I am also able to see how one can get stuck--trapped--by circumstances.

The question comes from ignorance. To reincarnate implies birth and death of a “me”. But as the saying goes, “you” only live once. But are we really that temporary wave? Or are we the ocean, which manifests itself in wave-forms endlessly. Everyone IS you, there is no out there or death of that which is beyond time and space. Change your perspective, and this question becomes nonsense.
