Nomad,

Once we study what we really are, we realize that we are kind of little pieces of Gods body and Mind (we are all ONE).
We will see that it’s impossible to be really happy without being able to tolerate the others and to understand they “current status”.
We will see that when we learn how to love then we begin to feel then like a blessing instead of a menace.
Can you imagine how things change when you move from a world of menaces to a world of blessing?
So you’d better to take your chance because it seems that you are just at the right place at the right time. So enjoy and do the best you can and see what happens in the end.

Take care.

Hi Nomad-

What better place to learn than in a world full of knobheads? If everyone had it perfectly right, we'd be bored stiff, just acting instead of making choices.

Actually, it seems that when we die, the "self" leaves the body as it falls off, and becomes distributed over the entire world of external circumstances that previously defined it, in within which it was defined of itself. This is like waves going outward.  The waves carry properties of life and experience.

As physicists will confirm, reality is the superposition of observable properties that can be expressed readily as correlated waves. For example, the "material nature" of matter can be reduced to probabilities involved in interactions.

As the waves mix, interact, combine and interfere with one another, they tend to come back together to define new potential properties and experiences. When the correlation of these probabilistic waves create a suitable fit to our personal tendencies, desires and attachments, we identify with them and pull our nature back from its surroundings and back into the manifestation, attaching to the instant of conception at which they point, and Pop! here we are again.

In other words, we choose the world of knobheads in which we are born by having needs, desires and attachments that place us here.  Interestingly, this mechanism also means that we, and our world, tend to be mirror images of each other, one as a localization, the other as a distribution.

The way out is still "through". That's why they invented yoga, it gives the shortest path to the door.

A world full of idiots?  Yes, it seems that way at times.   

I read a plaque on someone's desk once that said, "If a person could do better then they would." 

We can help each other or just tolerate each other -- each one growing at his/her own pace, turning our faces to the sun the best that we can from where we are planted.

Sometimes an angel will walk among us sprinkling a heavenly mist.  Each flower, each thistle receives the mist.  There is no judgement.  The earth is here for us all.

love, blink

It is precisely for this very opportunity to COEXIST with consciousness of many different levels, that souls choose physical incarnation over and over again.

----------------------------------------------

In lieu of discussions such as this one, in which abhorrence of physical incarnation is expressed, some may wonder why is physical incarnation, and reincarnation even necessary.

If it 'sucks' so much, why do souls choose over and over again to reincarnate? Surely there must be a reason for this? Fact is, there is indeed.

Wagner Alegretti, president of the International Academy of Consciousness (IAC), explains this beautifully, the specific purpose/rationale for PHYSICAL INCARNATION (not of existence per se), and it's indespensable role in the evolutionary process (both individual and collective).
