WARNING: By proceeding to read the content contained in this work, you agree that the author is not responsible for what happens next! When you hear about the word "reincarnation" what comes to mind? I realized that what most people call reincarnation is simply the gene inherent in the male sperm and female egg which fused together to replicate the facial structures of the most powerful traits imbued in it. A gene doesn't know who is dad, mum, uncle, sister, brother, grandparents or relations. Before we proceed, let's first revisit the word DNA from the heading of this write up. What is DNA? According to Wikipedia, DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the unit or a tiny part of our body that contains the genetic code of organisms. DNA is in each cell of every organism and tells cells what proteins to make. Remember that the main function of protein is "to build". So, what is the genetic code that the DNA carries? The genetic code or gene is a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring(Dictionary.com). So, the gene is transferred from parents to child through reproduction. This gene will continue to multiply until it is cut off and ceases to exist. Therefore, when someone makes reference to something like "our ancestors", they're simply making references to themselves because they're in fact their ancestors. They are the full manifest of the persons directly linked to their reproduction but living through different era and experiencing things uniquely through the formation of the single DNA of the first ever ancestor they ever had. A father and mother that gives birth to six children have created six different unique DNA's carrying everything about them but now embodied in a new cell, the child. This child is just an extension of the biological parents. The child is in fact not it's own unique formation, but the fusion of two different DNA's who agreed to experience life differently by contributing a part of themselves. So, every child is just the biological parents experiencing life differently without even knowing it. The child is the parents, and the parents are the child. In this sense, procreation ensures that the biological parents will in fact live forever except it is altered. The reason for this is not farfetched, and it's actually common sense. The new formed DNA is a product of two different DNA's fusing to form a single unit whose key traits are already predetermined. What this means is that the child is the sum product of every generation that culminated in both biological parents joining their seed together to form him or her. The child carries with them, the culmination of thousands of genetic codes or DNA which at most lies dormant and the traits that take the day being the traits capable of blending into the immediate environment. If the trait that manifests itself fully later in the child's life is not suited to the society, the DNA will manifest a lot of psychological disorders in character, habit and attitude to the entire society. Therefore, it's safe to say that you are not actually you per se, but the DNA of your first ancestor which still continues to manifest in different formats and different era's, using its characteristics to align with its world to form its own experiences. In Igbo tradition and most traditional beliefs around the world, ancestors are believed to reincarnate. However, this notion is correct only to the extent that they are only noticing certain core DNA resemblance of which the current child took which was a typical resemblance to another DNA (the alleged ancestor that came back). Every living thing births organisms of its likeness except it is altered. Rats give birth to rats, same way snakes give birth to snakes. Survivability features are already in born in every gene, and how a gene goes about it manifests in the acts and choices of that individual. This has led me to surmise that: 1) There is nothing to life. For all we care, we could be constructs in a loop, an endless loop with key programs keeping us in check. Programs like hunger, fear, love, hate, diseases, ambitions, courage, etc. Take a look at yourself. Has there been anything constant in your life? Have you been happy all your life? Have you been sad all your life? Each comes and goes at certain points. But, do they ever stop coming? Do they ever stop? They all drive us to death...hunger, anger, hate, love, ambitions, diseases...the never ending construct. For all we care, we could be in a continuos loop and this are the key programs. Just saying. None of our senses are real, the mind just plays tricks with us, and in the end, what your gene seeks, it gets. You don't control your body, or any of its parts, they control you. You don't feed your thoughts, you only feed your thoughts what it told you is good for you and what your DNA needs to continue growing and experiencing. 2) That we are just experiencing life in the same way as other animals, we just think we are different. We have probably decieved ourselves into believing that we are better because we have better cognition, but so do ants, bees, and every other creature out there big and small. We think we are better, but at the end, every living organism will die and return to earth, and the food cycle continues. We eat them, they eat us, everybody eats everybody but some people just don't know it; or bear to think about it. Think about all the billions of people that have died, where do you think their body is at the moment? It's safe to say that we are all earth and earth is us. Earth gives, and earth takes because that is what it does, and doesn't have the capacity to think except it's manifest in an organism who interprets their experiences differently. For earth is just living and doesn't understand or know anything, just like the human DNA. If earth knew about itself and it's children, it wouldn't deliberately continuously send destruction to them through earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions or gunpowder. Things like religion are concepts used to mold a DNA into manifesting some repeated patterns. Since the DNA wants to survive, fear of destruction will naturally make a DNA born into a christian community assume christian habits to cohabit in such environment. Reassurances from that community will assure the DNA which is manifest in the individual member that there is nothing to fear anymore seeing as the DNA can continue to live forever in an afterlife. This is simply because the DNA wants to live forever, and hell doesn't sound like a place to be if it wants to. The same DNA living through the individual will also be quick to fight off the fear induced through the religious community if it notices that it doesn't need such community to survive. Same thing applies to a DNA born into a Muslim or any other religion. The simple reason is simply that the DNA will do everything it deems fit to survive. This is the reason why you can't explain certain things you do. This is why certain things are fixed, and why you may wonder why some people no matter what, they continue to exhibit some dorminant genes inherent in them. Since most traits are dormant, only an experience could activate it. This experience may come from direct personal experience or gotten from different sources outside of yourself. Everything in life is fixed, and the little thing you think you are in charge of are all dependent on what is already fixed. Who do you spend 100% of your time with? Here is a cue, its not your best friend. The answer is 'Yourself' or 'Myself'. Everyone else is also spending 100% of their time with themselves. Your interactions are simply the list of activities to engage in so as not to think yourself to death. We are like an atom, each experiencing things very differently. The seven billion plus persons on the planet are experiencing seven billion+ realities. This point of interaction between individuals creates the ALIGNMENT POINT. This explains the reason why we know a lot of people who none of our other friends and families also know about. For instance, Emeka and Obi are friends. Emeka has four siblings, Obi has four siblings. Each of Emeka's siblings also have a friend or friends while each of Obi's siblings also have a friend or friends. Each of the friends to Emeka and Obi's siblings also have their own families and friends, and it continues that way. However, the alignment point between all this people occurs through Emeka and Obi being friends. This means that people who wouldn't have ordinarily met have been brought together through a common link. This also happens through needs and satisfaction. Except there is an alignment point, then needs can't be satisfied. What does this tell us about the DNA? What the DNA does is to continue to live and interact with itself as it deems it fit. Feed your DNA the right foods, and it will ride you to glory. The moment a person starts saying or repeating a single word or sentence everyday or every hour, you will be surprised at the interactions you have activated deep within the subconscious. If I say "Nigeria...Imo State... Knife... China...Xi Ping", what comes to your mind right now? Do write it down. At the end of the day before you sleep, read the "Nigeria...Imo State... Knife... China...Xi Ping" words you wrote down. What comes to your mind? Do write it down in a different notebook or pad. When you wake up the next morning, now think of the above words without reading it out loud. Do write down the thoughts that came to your mind in another different notebook or pad. Also try and write down what came into your mind during the rest of the day when you thought about the words written above; if you can, note the interactions you engaged in during the day. What is the significance of the above? The above example is just a simple way of letting you know how your mind spends 100% of its time making up things. The mind is the DNA, and it doesn't stop living and doesn't dwell in voids. This is why in every passing seconds, all the body does is experience different things non-stop with no pause through diverse contacts or alignment points. All everyone does 24hrs everyday is to experience life in continuous varying forms, captured by our memories in different analytics layers depending on the most outward trait of the DNA. Everything you think of is dependent only on your experiences. Everything you can talk of is dependent only on your experiences. You are living your experiences because that is what the DNA does, it lives. We are an experience. Our time of death is already set, but we lack the layered experiences to access such information because it is just another experience on itself which is dependent on a lot of other experiences to manifest. Because we are just an experience, certain characters and attitudes in others determine how we relate to them. Do you wonder why different people make you display different characters or attitudes? DNA! No one can tell exactly how you feel because no-one knows. What every other person know about your feelings is the idea of what you are experiencing. Everything happening around you is there to give your DNA a lifetime experience. Families, society, friends, religion, work, social circle, etc are all there to manifest in an individual, a unique experience. This is the reason why everyone cannot understand an act or thing exactly in the same manner if it's not structured or follows a repeated pattern since we are all experiencing life differently. A rich man's understanding of politics is different from that of the banker, the politician, economist, manufacturer, civil servant, villager, poor person, the clergy, non-political persons, children, businessmen and students. Even though politics is the central point of discourse, each of the categories experience its effects differently from the perspective of their attachment to their respective societal machineries and facets. Coming down to the individual level, everyone have a life that is peculiar to them and fits their lifestyle, a lifestyle developed by their DNA through its experience of the immediate environment. This is why we are limited by the amount of things we have experienced and our ability to experience more. Our experiences are the only thing we think of all the time. It's a hard truth to swallow but everyone is just another experience to everyone else. This is why psychologists say that each time you think of something, you are only thinking about the last time you thought of it. Ever wonder why your experiences are unique to you? It's because you are the only one experiencing it in the way you are experiencing it; just only you and noone else. N:B– Don't try that exercise if you are afraid of being overwhelmed. The simple reason is because the exercise is going to open your subconscious, allowing the ever conscious part of you to maraud more freely and in turn causing you to notice things constantly; things you wouldn't have ordinarily noticed. You will become aware all of a sudden, and notice how oblivious you are of your own ignorance with regards to your immediate environment wherever you are. How do you think desires are born? How do you think needs arise? Has enough being enough in your life? Do you control your body? Our body tells us when to eat, what to eat and how to eat it. Same thing goes for thirst. We barely control anything in our life, we just roll along with it. We have never been in charge, the DNA always is. We sleep to recharge, but what about the dreams? The DNA continues to manifest in its actual form in dreams through electric pulses in its neurological zigzags. Dreams are very freeing because in that level, the DNA simply manifests itself without holds or limitations posed by the physical world. Dreams are not real, and the DNA's representation of self is mostly flawed by factors you can never know how or why or where it formed. This is why you suffer if you make the wrong decisions. By making the wrong decision, you go against your nature, your DNA, and it recognises this. After recognition, it starts to do all it can to course-correct because you didn't or wouldn't listen. Pay attention, listen and observe, you will always know the direction the DNA is leading you. When a particular individual follows the direction of their DNA, alignment points occur, needs are satisfied and new experiences are created. The DNA continues to multiply just to experience. Because of this, an individual does not stop needing to satisfy something in their life until they die. This may not be unconnected to why individuals simply choose to end it all through suicide as they no longer see any point to it all. Ever wonder why certain things made sense at some point in your life, then stopped making sense sometimes later? There was a time when 'sweets and lollipops' were your only problem in life. Is it still? Did you outgrow the need or did the experience leave you? Or did the DNA replace it with other needs as it continues to grow and accustom itself with its environment as it continues to experience new things? I will leave you to tell yourself what you think and think about it. Everything stated above is as a result of personal introspection, observation and cognition. If you found it helpful, good for you too. |

spartan117:Happy Sunday to you too. I do hope you change your perspectives though! |
spartan117:Your Chronology of Goal Post Shifting. • Goal post shift 1: Show me religion Judaism came out from. Gets Shown! • Goal Post Shift 2: Show me source of your post. Gets shown! • Goal Post Shift 3: Show me your source, don't be too salty. Even when the source has been shown him, he is still asking for source. Maybe you should ask for link instead. For people like you though, the link will still not satisfy you. • Goal Post Shift 4: Chips in that anyone can edit Wikipedia to make Wikipedia a weak source and look cheap. Dude, is there anything that magically grew wings and popped into the internet? Didn't someone put it there? What of the things in books? Where there not people involved in the writing and printing process? People like you lack the capacity to see the flaw in your thoughts. |
spartan117:I can't stop laughing. Lol! Now he is looking for source. Definitely a kid! Once you see a post "on quote" in Nairaland, it means the poster is not the author or original poster of the contents inside the post. Knowing the source of the quote is as easy as copying and pasting the quoted post into a search engine and it will directly lead you to the original source. That notwithstanding, Wikipedia is the Source. It's not like it's a secret knowledge, just that you people don't read and prefer to ironically believe that a book can give you all the answers about nature and life. Wisdom question: Can you buy everything you need in life in a single shop or from a single seller? |
spartan117:Even though i know where your blind question is leading you, i will still oblige you the answer to your question just so i will know if it will make you change your belief. If it doesn't, well, you would only have proved my point. The origins of Judaism according to the current historical view, in contradistinction to the religious account as described in the text of the Hebrew Bible, lie in the Bronze Age amidst polytheistic ancient Semitic religions, specifically evolving out of Ancient Canaanite polytheism, then co-existing with Babylonian religion, and syncretizing elements of Babylonian belief into the worship of Yahweh as reflected in the early prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible.From the above excerpt, you can see that the religious practices is categorised as ANCIENT CANAANITE POLYTHEISM. Like the Protestant churches and Catholic Church, like Ancient Canaanite Polytheism and Judaism. I have already mentioned Baal previously, but you probably didn't see that cuz you are focused on trying to prove whatever it is you have in mind. Here, i decided to provide you a list of all the gods in polytheistic Canaanland. Note the bolded! I hope you are satisfied! |
spartan117:You seem to be a child. The same bible on numerous occasions mentioned how Israelites will fall away from their god and resort to worshipping other gods. Obviously, you read a different version of the bible where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to a god duel... The modern day version will be atheists constant challenge for religionists to show a microscopic level believable proof of existence of god's. That should give you an idea of how religious practices were back then. Just like now, it all got its validity from demonstrating whose god is more powerful either through wars. Note, this doesn't mean that the said contest by Elijah actually happened in real life. Learn to control your religious bias, that way you begin to get a clear picture of things. Brainwashed religious zealot's always think they can defend the absurdities of their religious faith and belief system. But, in the end, they end up displaying their total ignorance and lack of ability to view things from several perspectives. If you did read the book you so hinge on defending, you won't be asking this type of embarrassing question. |
spartan117:When you mention the word god or God, be specific with a name so that i can know who exactly you are talking about and reply appropriately. |
spartan117:Judaism is an offshoot of older religion's. It's safe to imagine that before religion came with its imaginary fantasies, people actually know that once you die, you go back to earth. Most old religions have practices of unifying the body with land. Try and do some research on it. |
SabaliPatience:Change your perspective of everything in life from this moment you read this post. I don't know you, you don't know me, but for some reason i am pushed to tell you this simple secret. Everything is real in the head and dreams. Let me ask you a reality deciphering question: How do you know for certain that everything about you and your environment isn't happening in your head? You do realise there was a time when all of the structures in the world never existed. So how did Man achieve all he has achieved? By making something real in the head, then going about to find a real logical way of actualising this idea and concept that only existed in the head. Here is a practical example. Say you got lost in the jungle with nothing but your hands and the clothes you are wearing. What do you think it's going to happen on the second day once you realise that you have only yourself to save yourself? Your survival instincts will automatically set in. Why? It's primal, and you need to actually be able to tap into it to unleash your real survival skills or face imminent death. However, the problem with most people is that they may never face the right danger in life to kick-start their real primal nature, so they end up wasting their life and never amount to anything in life. I digress. You believe Illuminati is not real because there is nothing that may probably ever bring you in contact with any except they chose to. Most people rarely do understand that there millions of realities happening all around them, with them being just aware of a few. Think of it this way, people who love Football may not understand what people who love Cricket see in it. The people who love Cricket can also rival football population to a high extent, because alongside football, Cricket also generates a lot of buzz with millions of fans accross the world. Just like football, there are also thousands or hundreds of events that go side by side by side with Cricket, including fans events, etc. Someone who is not an ardent fan of Football but loves cricket will never understand what the buzz about football is. Heck, there is someone else who prefers Rugby and doesn't understand why people run around in a small pitch kicking a round leather object. This person too has a whole lot of world influenced by Rugby related events, just like football, cricket and basketball. You find that the type of activities (sports or hobbies) finds a way of directing your specific focus to a particular group of things, like say church or mosque. Suddenly, your life starts revolving around this sets of activities, and for some reason you start thinking that the world revolves around you. But, your mind will never realise that it is caging itself with a flawed mental processing, making it hard for you to realise that there are 7billion+ people in the world, and that all you know about your next door neighbour is what you heard people say of them, or what you saw him do or say. I will leave you to it! ![]() |
spartan117:Sure. Haven't you been eating all your life? Or how do you think earth does its recycle? Everything is matter, convertible and reusable. It doesn't matter in the form it is. It may be microscopic, it may be a huge mountain. In the end, everything is Earth. Earth you are, earth you shall go back to... I'm sure you are accustomed to this popular saying by now; though I'm sure your religious limitations won't permit you to actually think about or meditate on it for a moment. A word is enough for the wise! |
Maximus69:Thanks! |
Dtruthspeaker:You rest in the grave! Soul is hogwash religious rubbish lies to hoodwink brainwashed peeps like you into thinking there is a Disneyland waiting for you in your fantasy mental constructs. In believing that a soul exists, obviously is easier to hoodwink you with fantasy related services like afterlife and all those their heaven and hell nonsense. A word is enough for the wise! |
Maximus69:Nice story. However, Jesus Christ is a lie...just like the bible! |
Acjohn:An alien from the moon created you i guess... Or maybe you should go back to biology class. Seems like you didn't pay enough attention! |
Dtruthspeaker:Joker. You need sense. I hope one day though you realise you are worshipping mental constructs. That's a milder way of saying that you are better off watching Disneyland! |
Righteousness89:Do you really listen to what you say? Sometimes, give it a thought and wake up from mental construct instigated limitations. Man has only one end, death. Every other thing is côck and bull story. It's just that you guys don't think, and the childhood brainwashing has stuck. Anyway, those who seek shall find. Every wise person knows that deep knowledge cannot be found from books easily accessible to the public. Reason why the better ones are restricted to those who actually needs it. When you Look at the nonsense people have turned the Bible and Koran to, you begin to understand why certain knowledge must be kept hidden and accessible to only the worthy. |
Acjohn:I know who my parents are bro. |
ebenhazard: You die, you are gone and turn to matter to benefit the earth. Stop believing in those unfounded nonsense they teach you in your religious grounds about some fantasy land. |
Softgamer:Before you start talking ill of other people, always take your time to verify before you start opening spewing your jargons. People like you are the reason why the Social Media Bill must be passed so that you start being careful of the nonsense you spew online. |
|
otipoju:Says the person who doesn't have anything to say again all of a sudden! You have only succeeded in showing how empty you are as a person with regards to the religion you Practice. It's a simple request for you to explain "how deep?" It goes. |
otipoju:I am talking about the Bible, not Animal Farm. |
Maximus69:Check the meaning of brainwashing! |
Mastakija:1) IAM ===> I AM MICHAEL! 2) The thread in summary says that Yahweh, your religious god, lost his temper over an apple his children ate from a tree he planted in his garden. I hope it's clearer now? |
sonmvayina:Exactly... |
Maximus69:I used to be like you, defending the Catholic Church and what not. Ever seen a core Roman Catholic person before? You are looking at him write. Therefore, i know brainwashing when i see one. And CRS is full-time BW, just like every other Religious Doctrine out there! |
paulGrundy:What is freewill? |
kingxsamz:Google knows better! |
kingxsamz:They don't know the meaning of freewill. |
OtemAtum:My brother, the thing tire me o. Imagine telling his worshipper's to kill and murder their children. It's something else! |
otipoju:So it was way deeper than that? Wow! Explain please. |
who tried to take the place of the dead Baal and failed. Male counterpart of Athtart.
