Ceaseless births and deaths in this selfless impermanent physical body and modification of the mind

For many yoga and buddhism practitioners especially coming from certain cultural background, the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths is about the entire life existence as one single 'birth and death', and 'ceaseless births and deaths' is about there is 'an immortal individual existence', that is existing permanently and independently without any limited conditional physical, mental or emotional suffering originally, but then, it has been under going ceaseless countless different births and deaths of different impermanent mortal life existence transitioning in different forms, due to certain 'ignorant downfall' that had initiated the first 'karma seed' that given rise to an initial birth into the ceaseless cycle of impermanent mortal life existence of a limited and conditional impermanent mortal physical body and modification of the mind that is subject to the inevitable suffering of selfless impermanence changes, of physical, mental and emotional suffering, especially under the presence of the veil of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restless modification of the mind, that give rise to countless inexhaustible 'karma' that leads to ongoing ceaseless rebirths or reincarnations following the initial birth of having an impermanent mortal life existence of the limited and conditional body and mind that basically generating boundless 'karma' just for being what they are, performing all kinds of actions under survival instinct, that pushed off the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths of different impermanent mortal life existence in different forms accordingly to the type of accumulated 'karma' that will never come to an end.

Inquire towards such understanding or belief.

Looking at the continuously rising population of all kinds of living beings in the world, not only limited to human beings, there must be many different permanent independent unchanging 'immortal individual existence' that have been under going many 'rebirths' or 'reincarnations' in ceaseless countless different life existence in different forms since the very beginning of all kinds of life forms in the world. The rise in the population of all impermanent mortal living beings in the world is very much the same total amount of the forever existing 'individual immortal existence' that are somehow 'carelessly' or 'ignorantly' falling into the trap of the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths, to be born into the limited conditional impermanent mortal life existence of limited and conditional body and mind, because of the initial 'karma seed', if according to such understanding or belief, where each impermanent mortal life existence that is existing in the limited conditional world of selfless impermanent names and forms, is because of the 'ignorant downfall' of each 'immortal individual existence' initiated the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths to be born into countless impermanent existence in different forms.

Under such understanding or belief, there is a thinking and belief in the mind now, that thinks and believes that, itself is or has a permanent independent unchanging ancient 'immortal individual existence' that itself is ignorant about, that has been existing infinitely even before being born into the first initial life existence in a particular form, that has been under going countless rounds of births and deaths or reincarnations in countless different life existence in different forms, and hence, give rise to the suffering of restlessness due to the endless rounds and rounds of rebirths or reincarnations. However, under the veil of ignorance, it is somehow being ignorant towards who it is originally, and it couldn't remember all the different births and deaths in the past that it has been under going, because 'most probably' it was being fed with a special 'tea' for wiping off the memory of the entire life existence before being reborn into another life form accordingly.

During the same timing in each impermanent mortal life existence in certain form, there were and are many other different permanent independent unchanging 'individual immortal existence' are being born for the first time, or have been reborn in many different impermanent mortal life existence in particular form under their own respective 'initial karma seed' or 'accumulated karma' from previous many life existence, and some of them have certain ties and connections with one another, such as parents and their children, brothers and sisters, friends or enemies, couples that joined together forming a family with their own children and grand children, and maybe some great grand children, before the death of any particular impermanent mortal life existence, to be rebirth into another impermanent mortal life existence under certain form, again and again, according to one's ongoing accumulated 'karma', where all these living beings that have certain ties and connections with one another also will be continuously under going ceaseless rounds of births and deaths or reincarnations in countless different impermanent mortal life existence in different forms, upon death.

Meanwhile, the children, the grand children and the great grand children of the earlier impermanent mortal life existence were also had been reproducing many other individual impermanent mortal life existence before their own death, to be reborn into another life existence. If so, it means that, there have been many 'individual immortal existence' that have been keep being born into impermanent mortal life existence in certain form in the world in different timing, either for the first time, waiting to be 'recycling' into ceaseless different impermanent mortal life existence in certain form, while some of them have been 'recycling' in many different impermanent mortal life existence already, maybe being reborn or reincarnated into the same family lineage, or into other many different family lineages, or into some other life forms other than human beings.

If so, it means that, some of the earlier group of 'individual immortal existence' that were having certain ties and connections among one another, having the identity of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, grand children, friends, enemies or spouses, from the same period of life existence, have been reborn into the new impermanent mortal life existence in another timing, where the previous identity of the father and the mother in the past, might be reborn becoming the great grand children of their own children in their previous life existence, or maybe becoming siblings to one another, or becoming parent and child to one another, or being reborn into another family lineage and became the spouse of one of their own great great grand children. They were the great great grand parents in previous life, as well as they are the great great grand children of themselves, in the present life now. Where all kinds of ties and connections are all mixed up in the many different life existence in different forms, in different timing.

If so, what are the meaning of all these ties and connections in different life existence? Who is father, mother, brother, sister, grand child, great grand child, friend, lover, spouse, enemy, and so on? If the original individual immortal existence of all and everyone are something permanent, independent and unchanging that exists forever, they are timeless, attributeless, nameless, formless, bodyless, mindless, birthless and deathless, being unlimited and unconditional, then how come there is ignorance in them that is why they have to be under going so much suffering being trapped in ceaseless impermanent mortal births and deaths?

If they are the permanent independent unchanging 'individual immortal existence', then they are distinct from the limited conditional existence and function of the mind. They are not the perceptive selfless thinking mind that is impermanent and dependent on many elements and energy to be existing and functioning. If they are the owner of the mind, or even if, they are the thinking mind itself, then they should be able to have total control over the mind or themselves of how they want it to be, but then how come they are completely powerless, as they have no control over the selfless impermanent changes in the physical body and in the selfless modification of the mind to only be in certain way that they desire, but give rise to all kinds of inevitable suffering due to selfless impermanent changes that is not in the control of 'I', where this 'I' is being ignorant towards itself, or not knowing who 'I' am or where 'I' came from, originally, or why 'I' am here suffering all these selfless impermanent changes, being limited and conditioned by time, space and causation.

Under such understanding or belief, that permanent independent unchanging 'individual immortal existence' that is being trapped in the loop of ceaseless births and deaths of having the impermanent mortal physical body and modification of the mind that is not in its control, is looking forward to be exiting the wheel of restless births and deaths that is subject to inevitable suffering of decay, illness, injury, weakness, discomfort, aging, and death, that leads to another birth and death, again and again, endlessly.

Under such understanding or belief, the 'individual immortal existence' needs to know or remember its original permanent independent unchanging 'individual immortal existence' before the first initial birth being born into an impermanent mortal life existence in certain form, in the world of mortality, where all kinds of different impermanent mortal identities in the countless different births and deaths of different life forms, are not who it is.

If so, what are all kinds of ties and connections, of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, enemies, lovers, spouses, and so on, in the many different births and deaths of different impermanent mortal life existence?

Under such understanding or belief, suffering will only come to an end upon the exit from the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths upon the complete clearance of past accumulated boundless 'karma' that seems to be an 'impossible' task no matter how, regardless of short lived or long-lived, or what is the cause of death, even if they 'think and believe' that they 'sort of' remember or know who they are, originally, but the wheel of births and deaths will still keep going, because of ceaseless 'karma' were being keep generated upon the rise of every single thoughts, actions and speech that cannot be avoided while having a limited conditional selfless impermanent physical body and modification of the mind under the basic survival instinct to be surviving.

And hence, many people would rather believe in certain belief about there is a superior entity governing all and everything, where it is about they are the 'individual immortal spiritual existence' that came from the superior entity, residing in the impermanent mortal physical body to be experiencing a worldly life existence mainly to repent, because of certain 'sin', and then they will be judged accordingly by the superior entity upon the death of this impermanent mortal physical body, either going back to the 'home' of the superior entity, where there is only desirable enjoyment and bliss, or be sent to a place for under going painful punishment, or be sent to a waiting 'hall' under specific reason for specific duration, if there's no other options, or maybe the superior entity needs some time to consider about what to do with them.

There's neither right nor wrong with all kinds of different thinking, belief, understanding, values and practice in the world of ignorance and egoism, that might be comforting for certain minds, even if it's only a momentary relief from certain painful suffering. More importantly, is about non-blind believing, non-blind-following, non-blind practicing, non-blind propagating, while purifying, disciplining and quieting the mind, to perform self-inquiry inquiring towards the truth of what is 'I', and towards the truth of all kinds of perceived names and forms, of what all and everything are, of selflessness and impermanence.

Meanwhile, inquire towards the teachings of yoga and buddhism about the selfless universal consciousness throughout the limitless universe that is permanent, independent, unlimited, unconditional, nameless, formless, attributeless, changeless, timeless, birthless, deathless, beginningless and endless, where all and everything arising, changing, resting, and passing away upon the selfless universal consciousness, inter-dependent on different elements and energy to be existing, changing and ceased existing, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect. While all kinds of impermanent existence of different names and forms are selfless and impermanent, where there is not a permanent independent unchanging identity of an 'individual immortal existence' in all kinds of selfless impermanent names and forms, regardless of sentient or non-sentient living beings or objects. Whatever the mind thinks and believes and identifies as 'I', either 'I' am mortal, or 'I' am immortal, is still within the impure modification of the selfless mind under the veil of ignorance.

If the selfless mind performs self-inquiry inquiring towards the truth of this limited conditional selfless impermanent physical body and the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, under the purified intellect, profound concentration and quiet modification of the mind, it will 'see' and know that, there are ceaseless countless births and deaths of the ceaseless selfless impermanent changes governed by the selfless nature's law of cause and effect existing in this selfless impermanent limited conditional physical body and modification of the mind, and that, there is no existence of any particular permanent independent unchanging 'individual immortal existence' that is, or has been under going all these ceaseless births and deaths of selfless impermanent changes in this selfless impermanent life existence of the limited conditional selfless physical body and modification of the selfless mind in the present moment now, and hence, there's no 'I' that needs to be exiting the wheel of restless births and deaths, that has a beginning and will follow by an end, where all kinds of perceived selfless impermanent names and forms, thoughts, sensations, feelings, emotions, and so on, ceaselessly arising, changing, resting, and passing away upon the changeless, timeless, attributeless, nameless, formless, birthless and deathless selfless universal consciousness in NOW, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, while being untouched or unaffected by all kinds of selfless impermanent names and forms ceaselessly arising, changing and passing away, as they are.

Suffering exists in the selfless mind that is functioning under the presence of the idea of 'I', under the presence of grasping or attachment, under the presence of the boundless desires of craving and aversion, under the presence of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, being bound by the impermanent states of mind, or the restless transitions between different realms, in the present moment NOW.

Suffering doesn't exist in the selfless mind that is void of the idea of 'I', void of grasping or attachment, void of the desires of craving and aversion, void of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, transcending all kinds of realms, or the impermanent states of the mind.

Even the most painful and stubborn form of inevitable suffering is also selfless and impermanent, arise under a cause, it will change, and it will be passing away. Because the names and forms that are suffering from certain physical/mental/emotional discomfort, or suffering, or hurt, or damage, or injury, or illness, are all selfless and impermanent.

Selflessness and impermanence is science, it's not a belief. It is what all and everything are. Selflessness and impermanence is no doubt a form of suffering, because of the restless selfless impermanent changes, however, it is also absolutely liberating, because of all these are selfless and impermanent.

The ignorance in yoga and buddhism towards the inquiry of "who am I?", is not about being ignorant towards who am 'I' originally that has an individual immortal existence or identity that is ever existing. But, it's about being ignorant towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence in all kinds of names and forms, and thus suffering arise, restlessness arise, due to the presence of an idea of 'I' occupying the mind attaching towards and being determined by the selfless impermanent qualities of names and forms and the ceaseless selfless impermanent changes, while the selfless modification of the selfless mind is ceaselessly interchanging between different selfless impermanent states of mind, or restlessly transitioning in between different realms, in the present moment NOW.

All realms arising, changing, and passing away in the selfless impermanent modification of the selfless mind.

There's no 'I' under going ceaseless births and deaths in different realms under the absence of the idea of 'I'.

There are countless idea of 'I' arising and passing away under going ceaseless births and deaths in different realms under the presence of the idea of 'I'.

All are happening within this selfless impermanent modification of the mind, in the present moment NOW.

Kind and peaceful entity is the selfless mind. Discontented, ambitious, greedy, possessive, selfish, endless physical, mental and emotional hunger, thirst, longing and craving hungry ghost is the selfless mind. Animal instinct entity is the selfless mind. Human instinct entity is the selfless mind. Angry, hating, conflicting, violent, vengeful, prideful and jealous entity is the selfless mind. Disturbed, confused, sorrowful and painful suffering entity is the selfless mind. Drowning in all kinds of realms is the selfless mind. Transcending all kinds of realms is also the selfless mind.

All sprung from the mind, and will dissolve in the mind.

Inquire the truth of everything, and attain direct realization towards selflessness and impermanence.

Upon the direct self-realization towards selflessness and impermanence, the selfless desireless mind will be living in the present moment, void of fear and worry, resting in unconditional peace, while appreciating this selfless impermanent life existence to be performing selfless actions that might or might not be promoting more peace and harmony in the world of ignorance and egoism, and let it be.
