AEN: While you can say that our traits are reborn in our
next generation, in Buddhism, rebirth between lifetimes occur often
in completely different realms, different time and place. This is
because consciousness is not just a material phenomena, it is a
nonmaterial phenomena that is mutually conditioning with
material.

AEN:
I am fully supportive of scientific studies into spiritual
phenomenon, and there is a lot that they can find.
However, we must also know the limits of modern science in
dealing with things like spirituality. Spirituality is not just
about 'logic' or 'beliefs', just as science is not just about
'belief'.

Hi Casino_King,
It is inadequate to use rational thought to understand spiritual
matters. Logic is only that branch of philosophy that deals with
reasoning. It does not deal with all types of thinking such as
remembering (Recalling past life included), dreaming (Dream Yoga),
day dreaming, neurosis, learning..etc. These other types of
thinking are the job of psychology and parapsychology.
Although evidence is needed to serve as a base for inductive and
deductive reasoning, full proof evidence to arrive at a certain
conclusion is not necessary in logical analysis. In daily life, not
all reasoning attempts to provide conclusive evidence for the truth
of a given conclusion and more often than not, conclusive evidence
cannot be produced. For pragmatic ground, we merely want the
evidence we arrived at be 'well founded'.
As human, sleeping and dreaming took up pretty much percentage of
our life. We are not just a rational being, to understand human, we
have to deal with all these matters with spiritual issues included.
------------
An additional point:
Science is but one way of understanding the phenomenon universe. It
is neither the only way nor the best way. Just like it is not right
to apply the same physical laws that govern a man size universe to
the quantum world, we cant apply the same laws when we deal with a
world that is non-material and qualitative (It is not meant for
that). We do not create a mathematical formula to define the
meaning of beauty and love. Using the wrong approach at times
mislead us into conclusion that something is irrational and in
turn, we might missed something truly valuable. Just my 2 cents
worth. Happy discussing.

Yes Casino_King,
I certainly agree with what you said. Transcendental experience
till now must remain at a personal level and it is not wise to over
emphasize these experiences and make objective claims. Since
science has ascended to become the ruling mode of knowing, it will
have to do something to account for non-material phenomenon.
Perhaps quantum mechanics will succeed in doing so in future but
till then, it should not stop us from further investigating into
our own existence, our nature and the meaning of life through other
modes of knowing other than science. Nice chat.
-------------
I agree with most of the points you said except this. Personally
I think it does matter and our entire value system and the meaning
of existence will change.
My personal view:
If we are serious about life and the meaning of our own existence,
we have to take steps into understanding it. It is not just about
fear, it springs from the love of life and to find out more about
what it is. Religion offers what science has not yet able to offer
and we have the choice to choose the religion that suits us. Even
if we have experienced the reality of the transcendental and
rebirth, it is not final, we will soon realize how little we know
about our own reality. There is no point over emphasizing anything
and make objective claims about a subjective experience. Let
science remains as it is and not over/under assert what it is not.
The journey must still continue but walk with a truthful heart. To
truly gain, the sincerity must be there.
Asking the reality of rebirth and experiencing our luminous
clarity is unlocking the mystery of life, we should not expect it
to come easy. To unlock this mystery, seriously make all effort
into understanding the meaning no-self and emptiness and practice
with all our heart. It is already taught, we have to take the
steps. It is the gate towards unlocking the doubt we have in mind.
This has to be subjective, it has to be personal, it is an
individual touch and authentication of what that is being taught
by Buddha. All the core teachings of Buddhism are to be found here,
now and this moment, it is not else where, not even a moment of
thought away. We will be convinced by this touch even it is not
proven objectively by science. Resting in our pristine awareness
and being authenticated by everything without gap, doubt cannot
arise and by this, we remain undisturbed. My 2 cents, happy journey
to all.
