61. Incarnation

All creation is an incarnation of the Intelligence of what we call Life. Life itself is simply that intelligence. Life appears as incarnated world. In fact the objective nature of Life is the world as ‘we’ see it. The ‘we’ that see the world is ‘life’ that sees the world as ‘we’. It’s life that ‘sees’ life. The seeing is life’s activity. The being is life’s activity.

So what do we mean by incarnation. It is an appearance of the source. The bangle is an incarnation of Gold.  Incarnation, is all of us. Reincarnation also has a place in it but not exactly as one would imagine normally. Imagine a leaf. It seems alive. Lets us say it fell down. Now what happens to its life. Did it go back into the tree or did it fall down with the leaf, or isn’t there a life to the leaf.   This is tricky. We assume life only to the whole item. But the leaf springs out like a new baby and falls away like an old person dying. Should it not have a specified life. Will it reincarnate as anything. Will it become a tree or animal etc. It is too hard to figure out. We cut trees, and it grows again, unlike man. If you cut him, that the end.  So in case of trees, we keep quite. It’s seeds become trees. So, did one tree have many latent reincarnating lives hidden?. All this has no meaning. So they will say, reincarnation is only for animals including humans.  But is all really true?

We can agree on incarnation. Life is form and the formless –Life appears as forms. Life incarnates as forms. Now the same life the I am, is the same life that you are. Life seems to show up as all people alive. So all people are incarnation of life. Will they reincarnate. Yes. But the new incarnation may be a product of a mix of many old. Like for example, if we take a big necklace and melt in to make a total of one small necklace, two bangles, two ear rings etc, all would feel, to be the reincarnation of one. But in humans, we find the talking one per piece. This is impossible.

Life is a flow. The appearance of the universe is aliveness or motion or change. The old dies into the new format, like caterpillar to a butterfly. You cant really say one died and the other was born. Only the forms keep changing. The man may dies and spring out hundreds of worms. Surely that ‘one’ he will reincarnate as ‘all those worms’. But they are only a change of forms.

All of creation is life or all creation is an incarnation of life. Every moment there is a falling into life to be incarnated back into life as a new unfolding. The man, dies every moment to be born again new. Incarnation is continuously reincarnating so as to say. This has reference only to the looks or appearance. The source is the same. Always will remain the same.  Life. All of it. Call it consciousness or God or just life.

All joy and suffering is ‘life’ appearing as man suffering or joyous. Its life that is suffering your pain, incarnating as a suffering person. There is only incarnation of ‘Life’ as all appearances, suffering or enjoying. All there is –is incarnation, reincarnating every now and then. Its a continuous process like a new frame of film producing movements to a movie. The reincarnation is of the complete frame of the picture.  The complete new frame is a reincarnation of the old. The complete universe reincarnates as one movement to die as the old and to appear fresh, but seems the old is moving into the new.

So there is incarnation of life as objective world and will reincarnate every moment as the unfolding of the objective world in its appearance in ‘Life’. All there is –is life, incarnating and reincarnating as creation that we see. The ‘we’ that see it is ‘Life ‘incarnated as ‘we’.
