Never-ending

Posted on by Reena Saxena

What am I made of? This question blows the hell out of me.

I’ve been through some past life regression sessions, and saw a few scenes stored like pages in the memory of the soul. Belief in reincarnation is a very personal matter, but if true, it raises so many questions.

Am I made up of genes, or molecules?  Am I made up of past experience, whether in this lifetime or a previous one? Am I just a function or product of my environment? Am I made up of the impact others have made on me? The process will go on, with daily accretions for the future.

If I am driven by my dreams, is it not an important element of my being? I rejected certain values, and decided to move ahead in life without those. ‘What I don’t want to be’ has shaped my personality, as much as what I want to be.

all of the above

and then, just a little more

I’m infinite

  4. I loved the reference to scenes stored like pages in the memory of the soul. What a beautiful way to describe these past life memories. So much we don’t know ……..

  5. What stood out to me most was your statement about who you are being shaped by what you don’t want to be, just as much as what you hope to become. I first notice this about twelve years ago, pretty clueless about my direction in life, but clear on where I didn’t want to go. So guess where I went? And guess what true growth is and the way to wholly become a compassionate and loving being? Life is not about what we want, no matter how many lifetimes we’ve endured, one or ten thousand. It is about Love; it is about God. Whatever you call that force.

    1. It is true that anything long-lasting comes only through this force. What is difficult is protecting oneself from the impact of constant onslaught of negativity from outside.

  7. I like this Reena. I believe it addresses some truths. As I see it, our life energy is infinite, I am not sure the “I” aspect is. As the portion of the collective energy that each of our mortal shells currently share, and which our current “I” awareness recognizes… as that evolves beyond the mortal shell, it certainly is not necesary for our current form of awareness, that we call “I” in this moment… it does not have to remain the same after the point of evolution. To me, that is the mystery. Our life energy cannot be destroyed, only changed, so from that perspective, it is eternal, immortal, infinite – but is our current awareness infinite? Someday we will know. I enjoyed your hsibun here Reena! Well conceived and written… 🙂
