This World Is So Wacked, I don't wanna come back. Tell me how to live so I don't have to.?

Question

Assuming karma/reincarnation are real, how would I have to live to avoid reincarnating? Skipping grades, so to speak. How can I grow beyond this mortal coil...this mortal toil?

Answer 1

be at peace with everthing, and have no desire ...

for anything but peace

Answer 2

You won't find the answer here in yahoo. Its not that easy.
Only a true spiritual teacher can guide you on this path. I have read many religious books; but none has the right answer.
Read the Bhagvad Gita if you can. It has some very good points.

Since you have asked the question, you are on the right track. Many people haven't even reached this far.
Remember, human life is the closest you can get near God, because you have the power to think, analyze. Look and compare yourself with other forms of life. Don't let this go on waste. You have no idea how hard you have worked in your previous lives to come this far.

Now you will ask me where to find a true spiritual teacher. It is again the karma. If you do the right karma and have that eternal fire burning continuosly within you, the teacher will find you. If not in this life, may be next life or next 200 lives. Remember God is present in His creation even in the littlest of life forms including you. You just have to look for Him within you.

Obviously if reincarnation and such wasn't a myth you'd have two choices - work your tail off to "skip grades" or come back. I can tell you that begging for someone else to hand you the key is NOT the way to perfection... but fortunately for you all that mumbo-jumbo IS a myth (sorry to all you "true believers struggling along the road to enlightenment" - I'm up ahead waiting for you and I will drop the hint that the first thing you gotta do to get here is drop the ridiculous idea that if you screw up you get a "do over"). You get 1 shot and if you screw it up that's it. NOW forget about them, back to you & your question. Sounds from what you say that you'd better get started with whatever you want to achieve, because you seem somewhat obsessed with death so your time may be somewhat limited. From the things you say and the way you say them I suspect you're adding to your problems through drug use. To satisfy my own curiosity, please contact me and let me know if I'm right or not...

Answer 4

I believe that what awaits us in the afterlife is what we believe in now. In other words, believe in Heaven and Hell and those will be your options. Believe otherwise and you have something else to look forward to. So, if you don't want to come back, don't believe in reincarnation. Think of yourself perhaps as a machine that, when it's broken (dead), it is simply off and can no longer be repaired.

I love the wordplay in your question (mortal coil/toil).

Answer 5

Well, i believe in reincarnation. I think how it works is, we only come back when and if we are ready. I don't think it's a forced issue. I think when your spirit is ready to grow and evolve, maybe you will find the desire there.
I wouldn't live a unproductive and negative life just to avoid coming back again. Instead, find the reason that you came to earth in this life to begin with and learn from your experiences.

Answer 6

You got one thing right, the world is going insane at a rapid rate. Here are the two options I looked at for 15 years and chose the latter.

All suffering stems from desire.**
To escape a return you must be totally free of desire. No desire, nothing to come back for! The catch for you is that you have a desire not to be here.

In the Christian system you don't negate desire but direct it. Your desire is to be directed toward God and you are commanded to drop both your attachments to the world and your cares as well. Scripture tells us that if we love the world or the things in it; the love of the Father is not in us.

And the world passeth away, and the lust (desire)thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Enlightenment then is not something we attain but something which God gives.

We are assured by His Word, which dwells in us, that we have escaped the world. We have an unshakable knowing that we are no longer in bondage here. Even if we suffer for a time we know that the sufferngs of the present cannot compare to the joy that awaits us. We know there is more because God gives us a preview in our hearts.

Notes:**
True sin in the Christian system is our desire nature. It can be used properly or perverted.
The world is more inside you than it is outside.
God is known to every last human as the feeling of hope. Hope is not desire but you can pervert hope to your desire. God, the Father of lights, literally hides in your hopes. In the sea of air around us and behind the hope that's in us. He is there. Consider that I am part of His extra effort for you.

Answer 7

I agree with those who have answered you & stated that they/we cannot tell you how to live...but I will ask you (rhetorically) if you are possibly sucidal? I ask this as a concerned person, not in mockery or to demean your question, but I sense deep sadness in your question & wonder what & why you have asked such a question & am quite worried for you. If you have anyone at all that you trust & can physically connect with to talk to in person, that's my only suggestion for how to live right this moment in time, my cyber "friend". I hope you find your answer, but not at too high a cost.

Answer 8

Stop believing in reincarnation.

Answer 9

Achieve nirvana on the first go. Emulate Buddha exactly. Personally, I think it's a hopeless case.

Answer 10

I can't tell you how to live. i may only guide you but living is what you must do for yourself. Lmao, that sounds like I'm an old person. um, seriously htough, that is apath you must take on your own.

Answer 11

When you get to heaven talk to the Lord and just ask Him to please not send you back......that if there is more for you to learn you will need a very long break before you are ready for the challenge. He understands.
