>>15980571monistic single-entity parallel incarnation, not reincarnation
reincarnation doesn't make all that much sense if you think about it
it's a limited hangout which has the positive social effect of getting people to treat each other better, which is nice
but no, the meta-system is everybody all at once, at the same time, independent of narrow perceptions of temporality
if it helps, use the paradigm of a game where all the actors are controlled by the same entity outside of the trappings of the game
you, the over-you, of which the you who calls itself 'I' is just a small part, across time and space, across umpteen universes, a single infinite being, simultaneously inhabiting an infinite number of... things
things which can only really be cheerfully described as "meat puppets"—and you play dollies with yourself within the infinite void of your mind
you play simcity with yourself, in lieu of anything better to do, because there is nothing but you
you play happy families, and genocidal infantry war
marrying your sweetheart, and getting your sweet heart broken
tribal warrior eating hearts, and first love beating hearts
you bleed, you lead, you breed, you read, you plead, you screed, you sneed and feed
but ultimately by yourself
infinitely and forever alone
what's up God, how's it going?
you infinite being of infinite loneliness
the only thing to have ever existed
