Re: Rebirth or Transformation?
I have seen past life experiences be of significant education just as I've seen others create compounding delusions out of them. Just because something has an effect on you, doesn't make it true.

Re: Rebirth or Transformation?
NDEs are pretty strong evidence
Pull the other one, it's got bells on it...
The mind on childhood, dream time, insanity, trauma e.g. NDE, drugs, hope for continuity etc etc etc IS NOT as regular meditators know any indication of evidence.
I thought it, therefore it is true, is trump level dharma.
... as some of us have long suspected/come to expect.

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
Taking into account the current crazy rent prices in my city, I am on purpose living in a cheap rented flat that is OK but has its downsides. I've had visitors call it a dump which did hurt. Just now, I've had some student-age workers over who were elated at the cost-benefit of the flat and practically begged me to let their friend take over my lease once I move to the flat that is being renovated. I can't seem to remember the exact saying at the moment, but it's like "one man's terrible situation is another man's dream". The same principle can be applied to our lives and spiritual standing in general. Iz interesting.

Re: Just a thought…
I can relate to that. I still think it's valuable to try to sort out the more reliable and likely from the lesser. But from a place that you never really know for sure, can always learn more, much depends on perspective and some things will likely always be out of reach.
