Breaking the Cycle of Reincarnation

[kycahi]

So reincarnation becomes a want rather than a need?

In a sense, yes. We gather experiences during these space/time lives. In between them, in time/space, we examine those experiences in fine detail, viewing what our state of mind was and discussing the experiences with others whom we interacted, whether friend or foe in that occasion.

We do that as long as we want to, re-experiencing time and again. Eventually, I'm guessing, we get bored with the re-examining of old experiences and desire to go back to space/time for brand new ones. Then, pop! into an infant body with nearly all of that forgotten.

Yes, a part of us remains in time/space to share ideas with others over there. That's the "discarnate" part. It's also the "unmanifested self" that Ra talked about, which you can reach to a degree, unconsciously, during meditation. This is a good/the best benefit of meditation, IMO, because it can prevent our straying too far from the goals we had set for the lifetime.

This might read like stuff that I made up or got somewhere else, but I read and re-read the LOO and did some inferring from it. The works of Michael Newton, PhD. influenced me, too, but I consider that as helping me understand Ra and not whole new ideas.

Oh boy does the veil make it hard to appreciate ourselves as human beings.
I want to live joyfully in the now. To not be pained by reality.

For years my depression was well-expressed in my face, which looked either tired, sad or mean. I decided to start smiling at others, even maybe insincerely, in order not to look mean. Well, people smiled back and that became a feedback loop so the smiles stopped being insincere and I got happy again.

Sometimes, it's the little things that help the most.
