Nick Mullen on Reincarnation and the Afterlife | The Adam Friedland Show

[@momo3244]

Adam is absolutely the man for, not only being able to take so much crap from strangers online for years, but for also looking like that

[@lemokemo5752]

"I don't meet a lot of babies though"

[@hfjdksalable]

The "my grandma?" might be one of his funniest lines

[@varuntheestallion]

Adam was actually really funny in this, the "your wife is fucking her boyfriend in heaven" bit

Five topics to fix society via discussion: -Anti-natalism vs Natalism -The 3 basic needs/prenatal needs Three things necessary for human evolution that are provided while in the womb which are; food, shelter and medical care. -Platinum rule Do whatever makes one happier unless it interferes with another persons ability to do the same. -MBTI (research yours and connect with others) -Art (pick one and get better at it!)

Zizek said the problem with Zen is that the Japanese used Zen as a tool to avoid responsibility for killing, it was a military ideology where person holding and using a sword isn't responsible because they aren't really there as an ego, and the sword simply moves through the air

This was actually so interesting.

[@nicholasricardo8443]

Mahayana, Theravada, and Chan (zen) Buddhism all believe in samsara and reincarnation, but zen maybe focuses less on it than Theravada because Theravada is more concerned about individual Buddhahood and less with treatment of others (it’s more ascetic), Mahayana and Zen (which is a form of Mahayana in japan) is more concerned with developing good karma in this life through service, so that all people achieve nirvana.

[@DanielHayes-p2u]

I find reincarnation very logical. We all are the universe observing itself. As long as the universe is here, it will experience itself subjectively through life on planets. We all are that same universe consciousness.

[@Aightbet-ng2si]

There are some really interesting idea in physics that kinda point towards it too

[@elliotalewel3163]

Most of the people that have memories of past lives have those memories as children and lose them before puberty. The idea of reincarnation and samsara is pretty interesting because the whole goal is to escape the cycle and not come back (at least not for a long long time.)

[@FirstPersonLife]

yeah you're kind of supposed to hate earthly life it seems and have a general attitude of "i'm never coming back"

[@heressomestuffifound]

Reincarnation and analogous actually show up in many cultures beyond Indian ones.

I appreciate this conversation, this is how you are supposed to address spirituality, just a bunch of hypothetical "what if's" and a good conversation. Bravo Men!

I love this dharma talk!

[@Deadman1000]

Personally, the idea of us just dying and our consciousness falling into the abyss is comforting

[@XavIsOnline]

We are a one-time event of physics and chemistry, more compisitionally and behaviorally unique than the most spectacular nova or nebula. It may not satisfy our irrational animal-brain desire for reality-transcending permanence, but it's as beautiful and meaningful as can be hoped for, I think.

[@nenirouvelliv]

I agree. Unfortunately non-existence and consciousness are ontological opposites, I think we are brought back one way or another and the cycle goes on.
