There has never been a time when you and I and the kings gathered have not existed, nor will there be a time when we cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth and old age, so too at the time of death, he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.
Bhagavad Gita (5th century BC)
No comment
But in order to say “no comment”, it seems I must make a comment. But if I don’t say “no comment” my preference not to comment will not be registered.
An existential dilemma… Oh well, I might as well comment then, so:
I think Dear Bhagavad was rather exceeding the limits of his knowledge and somewhat venturing into the realm of wild speculation about the rather unlikely.
Taking up the point about a person inhabiting the body through childhood, youth and old age. I do believe that is true, does that mean I have entered into the realms of wild speculation?
Do I exist or am I just talking to myself in my head..
I am puzzled that you present that as an either/or issue.
I expect you exist, and I expect you are talking to yourself in your head
Oh, and in answer to your first question, I suspect your belief is exceeding the limits of your knowledge.
I enjoy the issues your offered “thoughts” raise though.
Maybe you will like next weeks thought… I am not making any promises though
My own thought for most weeks would be from Montaigne:
“Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know”
and with that I seek the sweet death of sleep.
Goodnight
This resonates so much for me, especially today xo
It makes me feel happy that my thought gave you comfort xx

Actually, to depart a bit from Don QuiScottie, if that doesn’t make you believe in reincarnation, what does! And why not???
Precisely

Coming over all Eastern Cherie.
