There is no death - life after death, reincarnation, rebirth. Rebirth of the soul after death

AT Western culture there are three main concepts of what happens to a person after death physical body- the concept of Hell and Paradise in the religions of faith, the materialistic concept and the concept of rebirth (reincarnation, life after death).


- AT Western religions faith, the concept of Hell and Paradise has spread, according to which a certain Supreme Being (usually male and with dense facial hair) judges and punishes human souls. Moreover, in some cultures it punishes them for certain actions, in others - for completely different ones. As a result, most souls end up in Hell, where they are forever doomed to incredible torment. Only a few righteous who keep strict rules, which are very different in different cultures, have a chance to receive eternal bliss as a gift. For those who believe in this concept, the most important thing is to guess with religion - for "it is impossible to hope for the heaven of one religion without risking the hell of all others." (well, if you still don’t guess, I highly recommend you Sheol, the Jewish hell, where once a week, on Saturdays, a sanitary day is arranged, during which eternal torment is canceled. Shabbat - after all, it remains Shabbat in hell

In Western science, the materialistic concept has become widespread, according to which consciousness is a product of the activity of the brain and completely disappears after the brain dies. On the other hand, numerous studies, conducted mainly in British and American clinics, have shown that many people at the moment clinical death the flow of experiences is not interrupted even when total absence electrical activity of the brain.

During these studies, scientists were not interested in the nature of experiences (i.e., whether people saw a clear light, observed their body from the side or heard voices), but the very fact of any experiences at the time of clinical death, as well as the presence or absence of electrical brain activity at that moment. When enough impressive statistics were accumulated, the researchers came to the conclusion that the presence of experiences does not depend on whether the electrical activity of the brain continues in a state of clinical death or completely stops. As you understand, if consciousness is a product of the brain, then a person cannot experience something at a time when there is no electrical activity in the brain - this is the same as watching TV with the power cord disconnected.
In our culture, for some reason, instead of trusting own feelings, it is customary to believe generally accepted statements (dogmas - in religion or axioms - in science), therefore some people firmly believe in the idea of ​​Hell and Paradise only because their religion prescribes it to them; others believe that consciousness is a product of the brain because they were told about it many times in school and university; and still others believe in the concept of reincarnation for the simple reason that they read about it in some books " secret knowledge", which can be bought at every corner.

But such an approach is not trustworthy - after all, you can believe in anything. Another thing is if you know, because knowledge is much more reliable than faith. And, if you have an experience associated with memories of previous lives - it's like you have returned from an exciting trip to distant countries and you try to tell the inhabitants of your provincial town about your impressions, but suddenly you find out with surprise that not only have they never been to these wonderful countries, but they don’t even believe that they exist. Moreover, they also persist in their ignorance, trying to convince you that you invented all this for the simple reason that your stories are very different from their everyday reality. But for you, it's funny - you really were there, so you do not need to believe or not believe in it. You know. Just know.

This page contains statements about the rebirth (reincarnation, life after death) of people more than known in Western science, philosophy, literature and other fields, from antiquity to our time. The soul, getting into one creature, then another , thus moves in a cycle prescribed by necessity. Pythagoras - 570-490 BC e.

Once I was already a boy and a girl, a bush, a bird and a dumb fish emerging from the sea. Empedocles - 490-430 BC e.

I do not doubt the existence of what is called new life and that the living rise from the dead. Socrates - 469-399 BC e.

The human soul is immortal. All her hopes and aspirations are transferred to another world. A true sage desires death as the beginning of a new life. Plato - 427-347 BC e.

There is strong evidence that a person knows many things before birth, that when ordinary children understand numerous facts at such a speed, it shows that they are not seeing these facts for the first time, but remembering and resurrecting them in memory. Marcus Tullius Cicero - 106-43 BC e.
In early Christianity, the concepts of hell and heaven had not yet been developed, and the attitude towards the idea of ​​rebirth was more than calm. many fathers christian church: Clement of Alexandria, Justinian the Martyr, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Jerome did not consider that the idea of ​​rebirth in any way contradicts the idea of ​​Christianity. The idea of ​​rebirth is most clearly expressed in the writings of one of the fathers of the Church, Origen.
Some souls, inclined to do evil, fall into human bodies, but then, having lived the time measured for a person, they move into the bodies of animals, and then descend to a vegetative existence. Following the reverse path, they rise up and regain the Kingdom of Heaven. Origen - 185-254

Blessed Augustine himself, an outstanding Christian theologian and philosopher, reflected on the possibility of rebirth in his "Confession", which shows that at that time in the Christian environment, rebirth was not considered something unnatural.
Did I have a certain period of life that preceded infancy? Was it the period that I spent in the womb of my mother, or some other? ... And what was before this life, O Lord of my joy, was I somewhere or in any body? Blessed Augustine - 354-430

But in 553, rebirth as an idea was banned by the highest decree of Emperor Justinian.

Justinian was a good politician and a skilled diplomat, which allowed him to make dizzying career- from the son of a poor Macedonian peasant to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. At the same time, he was "an insidious and indecisive person ... full of irony and pretense, deceitful, secretive and two-faced." Thanks to his energy and attention to detail, he did a great job and was able to combine the many disparate laws of the empire into one single “Justinian Code”, and also significantly expanded the boundaries of the empire. But Justinian went further - he decided to put things in order not only in worldly, but also in spiritual matters.

At that time, Christianity consisted of separate currents, many of which accepted the idea of ​​rebirth. Justinian considered this state of affairs harmful, naturally, not for religious, but for political reasons - he believed that if the citizens of the empire thought that they had a few more lives left, they would not be so zealous in public affairs. Justinian knew how to achieve his goals - first of all, he sent a message to the Patriarch of Constantinople Mina, in which Origen was presented as a malicious heretic. Then, in 543, a council was assembled in Constantinople by order of Justinian, at which, with his approval, an edict was issued, which listed and condemned the mistakes allegedly committed by Origen. (It must be said that at all the councils that were held during the reign of Justinian, final decision accepted not by the assembly of bishops, but by the emperor himself).

After the council, Pope Vegilius expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Justinian was interfering in the affairs of the Church, and rejected the imperial edict, but later, after threats from the emperor, he was forced to issue a decree in which he anathematized the teachings of Origen. However, this decree caused such strong discontent on the part of the authoritative bishops of Gaul, North Africa and a number of other provinces that in 550 the Pope was forced to abolish it.
In 553 Justinian assembled V Ecumenical Council in Constantinople. The council could hardly be called "Ecumenical", since it was attended mainly by representatives of the Eastern Church - most of the Western bishops refused to take part in this dubious event. The Pope himself, despite the fact that he was at that time in Constantinople, as a sign of protest did not participate in the final verdict, for which he was exiled by the emperor to one of the islands of the Sea of ​​Marmara.

The result of this council was a decree that more than unambiguously defined the attitude of the Church towards rebirth.
If anyone believes in the unthinkable existence of the soul before birth and the most absurd rebirth after death, he should be anathematized Emperor Justinian - 483-565

After the "prohibition" of rebirth by the highest decree, any mention of it was tantamount to signing a death sentence for oneself - the medieval church burned the author of such statements along with his books. But there were people who were not afraid to speak about their beliefs even under the threat of a fire. One of them, the author of the words "To burn is not to refute," the great Italian philosopher and theologian Giordano Bruno, said in his closing speech:
The soul is not part of one certain body and can be in one body, then in another. Giordano Bruno - 1548-1600

Then they burned him.
The times of the Inquisition began to fade into the past, which made it possible to more freely express their beliefs. Below are the statements great scientists, writers, philosophers about rebirth. In some cases it's just inner feeling denounced in words, in others - an unshakable conviction that it cannot be otherwise.
Death, like birth, is but the transformation of one and the same animal from a lower to a higher... Having established such a beautiful order regarding animals, it would be unreasonable that man should not be subject to it... Therefore, I am inclined to think that the souls that once become human, like the souls of other species were contained in their ancestors until Adam, therefore, existed from the beginning of things, always in the form of other bodies. Gottfried Leibniz - 1646-1716

The concept of reincarnation is neither absurd nor useless. There is nothing strange about being born twice instead of once. Voltaire - 1694-1778

I believe that in one form or another I have always been in this world. Benjamin Franklin - 1706-1790

The doctrine of reincarnation is the only theory of immortality that philosophy can accept. David Hume - 1711-1776

I am not a Hindu, but I believe that the philosophical doctrine of Hinduism about rebirth is much more reasonable, fair and more capable of inspiring a person to good than frightening postulates Christian doctrine about endless punishment. William Jones - 1746-1794

When I think about death, I am completely calm. Because it is firmly convinced that our spirit is a being whose nature remains indestructible and which will act continuously and forever. I am sure that I have been here thousands of times already, and I hope that I will return thousands more times. Johann Goethe - 1749-1832

In my head - offices and chambers, full of books and pictures of old times that I painted in the endless ages before my mortal life. William Blake - 1757-1827

If an Asiatic asked me to define Europe, I would have to answer: "This is a part of the world that is under the incredible delusion that man was created from nothing, and that his present birth is the first entry into life." Arthur Schopenhauer - 1788-1860

The qualities acquired by man, slowly developing in us from one life to another, are invisible bonds connecting each of our existences, which only our soul remembers. Honoré de Balzac - 1799-1850

When I go down to my grave, I will be able to say, as many others do, "I have finished my work," but I will not be able to say, "I have finished my life." The next morning my work will begin again. The grave is not a dead end; she is a transition. It closes at dusk. And opens again at dawn. Victor Hugo - 1802-1885

The soul settles in the human body, as in a temporary shelter, then it leaves it and moves into a new one, thus, its immortality is realized. Ralph Emerson - 1803-1882

Death is one of the steps in our continuous development. Once upon a time, our birth was such a step, with the difference that birth is death for one form of being, and death is birth into another form of being. Death is happiness for a dying person, because when you die, you cease to be mortal. Theodore Parker - 1810–1860

I think I have always existed. I see myself clearly in various times history, engaged in various trades, a man with a different fate. Gustave Flaubert - 1821-1880

I'm sure I've been here thousands of times before, just like this time, and I hope to come back thousands more times. Thomas Huxley - 1825-1895

Just like we live thousands of dreams in our current life just as our life itself is but a form of one of the thousands of lives into which we enter from another more real world, returning again and again after death. Our life is just one of the dreams in another life and it is endless as long as there is the most real life God. Leo Tolstoy - 1828-1910

When asked where we were before we were born, the answer is: in a system of slow development along the path of reincarnation with long rest intervals between them. To the natural question why we do not then remember these existences, we can answer that such memories would infinitely complicate our present life. Arthur Conan Doyle - 1859-1930

I accepted the theory of reincarnation when I was 26 years old. Genius is experience. Some people think that this is a gift or talent, but in fact it is a product of long experience of being in previous life incarnations. Henry Ford - 1863-1947

I can quite clearly imagine that I lived in past centuries. Probably many of the questions posed before me remained unresolved. That's why I'm born again, to answer all questions someday. Carl Jung - 1875-1961

Reincarnation is the most plausible explanation of reality by which Indian thinkers overcame the difficulties that baffled European thinkers. Albert Schweitzer - 1875-1965

My emergence did not begin with birth or conception. I have grown and developed over countless myriads of millennia. All my previous incarnations with their voices and images are reflected in the current me. And how many more new incarnations I have to go through. Jack London - 1876-1916

Everything about science reinforces my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. I believe in immortal soul. Science has proven that nothing disappears into nothingness. This means that life and the soul cannot decay into non-existence, and, therefore, are immortal. Wernher von Braun - 1912-1977

Friends are the souls of those we have known before in our lives. Therefore, we are attracted to each other. Even if I only know them for one day, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to wait until we eat the proverbial pood of salt together to get to know them better. I firmly believe that we have already been together in our previous lives. George Harrison - 1943-2001

In the East, the idea of ​​rebirth is naturally woven into culture, religion and science, so over 90% of people take this idea for granted. In the West, it is customary to believe in other things, but nevertheless, the situation is gradually changing - according to the latest polls, more than half of the population of the United States and democratic countries of Europe recognize the fact of rebirth and do not consider the idea of ​​rebirth to be something strange.

Some people seek to know about their previous lives, but such knowledge is more than useless unless it is within the person himself. For example, when the Buddha was asked: "Who was I in my past life?”, he often answered like this: “If you want to know what you did in your past life, look at your life today, if you want to know what will happen to you in next lives- look at your actions in this life. "And this is more than logical - everything is subject to the law of cause and effect or the law of Karma.

The idea of ​​rebirth is well suited for people who can take full responsibility for their lives without putting it in the hands of God or fate. After all, if you understand that it was your past actions that caused what you have now, and what exactly is in this moment with every word, thought and action you determine your future, then you can take responsibility for your life and change a lot.

It is not so important whether a person believes in the idea of ​​rebirth or denies it - much more important are the changes that can occur in his life after accepting the idea of ​​rebirth. For example, as it once happened in the life of Henry Ford: "Religion could not offer anything that made sense. Work could not give me complete satisfaction. It is useless to work if the experience gained in one life cannot be used in the next. When I discovered rebirth... time was no longer limited. I have ceased to be a slave to the hands of the clock ... I would very much like to convey to other people the peace that the idea of ​​rebirth can give us."

P.S. If everything around us does not disappear, but simply passes into another state, then why should a person be an exception?

With you Oksana Manoilo, hello to you long summers. Now let's talk about the rebirth of the soul after death. We will all die. This simple truth nevertheless excites the minds and hearts of people with ancient times before today. Why is the theme of death and what is beyond this last limit. If we accept as a fact that there is no rebirth of the soul after death, and, as atheists say, after death “there is nothing at all”, then there is nothing to argue about.

Is there a rebirth of the soul?

What if there is anyway? If this very limit is not the last one? If our current life is not something exceptional, if it, this one, is only a link in the chain of rebirths of the soul, if after death we do not die, then how?

Each person goes through the realization of this himself. There are no rules, no laws no correct and wrong decisions. If you want this life to be only what you see, this is your choice. Then you can live as you like: drink, lie, steal and fill your life with whatever abomination you want.

But if you want something more, if you accept that this life is just a step in an endless chain of rebirths, then be prepared for the fact that this life is one big test. And the examiners don't care how much money you have, what kind of car you have, or whether you have a villa in Nice. All wealth will remain after death here, where we will go after death, hardly anyone needs them.

But the soul will fly to where it will be examined in the most attentive way - what have you, man, done in this life, what have you achieved? How much love have you given to your children? You don't have children? Why did you live then? How much love have you brought to this earth? Didn't bring... But then he lived why?

Why do we come into this world?

We all come into this world for a reason. Someone then, to eat better and sleep softer. Someone then, to make this world a little better, kinder, cleaner. Someone, someone - to each his own. And they will receive - each his own. Someone will move on to the next stage of development, someone will return back, will go through the same road over and over again until they fulfill their destiny, until they pass the exam “for humanity”.

happen , but how to find your purpose now, what does it consist of?

Often we cannot find the answers to these questions ourselves. life questions. And then we start looking on the Internet, .

Or we use the wisdom of a mentor, undergoing training.

And sometimes, when we walk too long along the road that takes us away from our destiny, trouble comes to us: illness, loss of people close and dear to us. And we worry, cry and ask, “Why?”. A better question would be "why?". Why are we given this illness or loss. I, as an experienced healer, always first of all, when diagnosing, I will determine where, at what moment and what you did wrong, thereby giving a chance to correct the mistake.

The healer heals not only the body or part of the body. I have a comprehensive approach to issues, to clients and their problems. This is the doctor to whom we come with a sick stomach, he treats the stomach and only it. The doctor does not treat the person as a whole, he treats only the stomach. And the person seems to have nothing to do with it))), he can suffer further. Maybe that's why the word "doctor" comes from the word "lie", that is, "doctor" in the understanding of our ancestors is a person who lies. Another thing - . This is a person who “heals”, that is, makes a person “whole”, gathering his body, soul, destiny into a holistic harmonious world.

As science fiction writers say, every beat of a butterfly's wings can set off a storm on the other side of the world. And what can I say if this world is in the soul of one person. Then each of our actions causes not just a storm, but huge changes that leave an imprint on a person’s whole life.

Surely, each of you had to see people with an "unkind face", or there was a feeling when looking on a person that "something is wrong with him in life." But in our life, we just shrug our shoulders and pass by, while the healer, peering into the face of such a person, even from a photograph can determine where the person turned off his path, and, most importantly, how to get back there, on his own. path. On the .

In Western culture, there are three main concepts of what happens to a person after the death of the physical body: the concept of Hell and Paradise in religions of faith, the materialistic concept and the concept of rebirth (reincarnation).

In Western religions, faith has become widespread hell and heaven concept according to which God judges human souls.

In Western science, it has become widespread that consciousness is a product of the activity of the brain and completely disappears after the brain dies. On the other hand, numerous studies, conducted mainly in British and American clinics, have shown that in many people at the moment of clinical death, the flow of experiences is not interrupted even in the complete absence of electrical activity in the brain.

During these studies, scientists were not interested in the nature of experiences (i.e., whether people saw a clear light, observed their body from the side or heard voices), but the very fact of any experiences at the time of clinical death, as well as the presence or absence of electrical brain activity at that moment. When enough impressive statistics were accumulated, the researchers came to the conclusion that the presence of experiences does not depend on whether the electrical activity of the brain continues in a state of clinical death or completely stops. As you understand, if consciousness is a product of the brain, then a person cannot experience something at a time when there is no electrical activity in the brain - this is the same as watching TV with the power cord disconnected.

And finally there is the concept of rebirth (reincarnation), according to which our consciousness does not disappear without a trace after the death of the body, but simply passes into another state - taking on other forms, but retaining its essence, which has always existed and will always exist.

In our culture, for some reason, instead of trust own feelings, accepted believe conventional wisdom (dogmas - in religion or axioms - in science), therefore, some people sacredly believe in the idea of ​​Hell and Paradise only because their religion prescribes it to them; others believe that consciousness is a product of the brain because they were told about it many times in school and university; and still others believe in the concept of reincarnation for the simple reason that they read about it in some "secret knowledge" books that can be bought at every corner.

But such an approach is not trustworthy - after all, you can believe in anything. Another thing is if you you know because knowledge is much more reliable than faith. And, if you have experience related to memories of previous lives, it is like that you have returned from an exciting trip to distant countries and are trying to tell the inhabitants of your provincial town about your impressions, but suddenly you are surprised to find that they are not only have never been to these wonderful countries, but they don’t even believe that they exist. Moreover, they also persist in their ignorance, trying to convince you that you invented all this for the simple reason that your stories are very different from their everyday reality. But for you, it's funny - you really were there, so you do not need to believe or not believe in it. You know. Just know.

This page contains statements about rebirth (reincarnation, life after death) of people more than known in Western science, philosophy, literature and other fields, from antiquity to our time.

It is quite remarkable that she western philosophy closely related to the idea of ​​reincarnation. Pythagoras, who became the founder of philosophy and the first philosopher (before him there were only wise men), having introduced the term philosophy itself, remembered his previous lives and often spoke about it.

Reincarnation and early Christianity

In early Christianity, the concepts of hell and heaven had not yet been developed, and the attitude towards the idea of ​​rebirth was more than calm. Many fathers of the Christian Church: Clement of Alexandria, Justinian the Martyr, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Jerome did not consider that the idea of ​​rebirth was in any way contrary to the idea of ​​Christianity.

Most people know what reincarnation is, and many believe in the rebirth or reincarnation of the soul, but do not accept that a person can go into lower forms of life, after the human. Is it really possible for a person to acquire an animal form of a body, after a human one?

A person after reincarnation can indeed take on a lower form, such as an animal, plant, or mineral. In the knowledge based on the teachings of the great spiritual teachers and the ancient Vedic texts, it is clearly shown that a person, if his level of consciousness corresponds to the level of an animal, acquires an animal form of a body, despite the fact that he had human body.

Consider the root cause of reincarnation in this material life. Why does a person reincarnate? Creature endowed material language is the result of the desire to taste. There are ears, it is the result of the desire to hear. There is a nose, the result of the desire to smell. There are sexual organs, the result of the desire for love pleasures. Thus there is various bodies senses, in accordance with the desires of the being. Therefore, the main reason for obtaining a material body is that a person has desires associated with matter. And in this world we see all kinds of bodies. The dog has a tongue and the human has a tongue. The pig has a nose and the man has a nose. Different living beings have different types of bodies.

If one looks at these various kinds of beings in the world, it becomes obvious that material nature gives the living beings all sorts of combinations and almost unlimited types of implements with which to enjoy. The type of nose, tongue, or other sense organ that we have is determined by our type of thinking, our desires, our previous karma, and our karmic reactions. Even if the person is now in human form, but his consciousness is concentrated at the level of the animal, namely, the animal is only interested in eating, sleeping, sexual pleasure and defense or struggle. When a person cares only about the indicated interests, then his consciousness is at the lowest, animal level. On a subtle level, this will be the determining factor in the formation of the next type of physical body.

Those who deny this and say that in the course of reincarnation we cannot acquire a lower form of life after the human, base their ideas on personal experience which is not confirmed by anything.

Such people are not guided by spiritual authorities, and ancient scriptures. The Srimad-Bhagavatam contains amazing story Jada Bharata, who, having undergone reincarnation, changed the human body and received the body of a deer. Bharata had to live his life in a lower form in order to return to human form again. Another point confirming the presence of involution in the process of reincarnation is related to certain laws that we cannot bypass. The basic law of the human form of life is responsibility.

Animals by nature cannot choose to be responsible or not, they are instinctively forced to comply with the duties assigned to them. For this reason, any actions in animal life forms do not create karmic consequences in the future. For lower forms nature arranges it so that the personality automatically evolves towards a reasonable form of life - human, but when it receives it, there comes a moment when the responsibility of the personality, its free will comes into force. Thus, animals are constantly evolving to more higher type body.

But the human form of life differs from the animal form in that a person always has the choice of responsibility for his actions. We are responsible for our actions, which is why human form there is a karmic system and the opportunity to descend into more primitive types of bodies.

Many of those who pay attention to their spiritual development came across stories that talk about such a phenomenon as the rebirth of the soul after death.
