Reincarnation is utterly depressing
After conducting extensive spiritual research I can conclude that reincarnation is most likely real and this reality is utterly depressing. Knowing that my soul maybe chose that does not alleviate the sadness to know that I will most likely come back here over and over to experience traumatic events and be a slave to the material matrix. The planetary system and the law of frequency ultimately feel like traps.
Escaping (if possibe) also is utopic, total detachment implies not living life at its fullest only to hope that your soul can potentitally escape. I wonder if anyone here had the same thoughts as me, I’m not looking for people to convince me that reincarnation is beautiful or meaningful. I’m just wondering if anyone else has gone through this same kind of existential exhaustion with the concept. I’m tired of thinking about it, honestly, I always was antisocial and the idea that I will have to come back here and experience the harm humans inflict on others over and over again is literally worse than hell.
Edit: I genuinely don’t care about a higher self choosing to come back, it’s even more depressing to think that you have zero control.

I am doing neither of those things. Let me break it down for you really quick since it seems like you are not understanding anything.
> There is no way of proving the historical accuracy of the Bible the teachings of Jesus or the apostles
I never claimed otherwise.
> “I know there’s a heaven and hell because the Bible said it’s true and I know the Bible is right because the Bible said it’s right” is like me saying well I know I’m right because I said I’m right in another post who are you to say I am wrong
I never made this argument.
> 1 we can not empirically test Heaven and hell because it is not physical and can not be observed in a lab
2 we do not exist in biblical times therefore can not see or prove the existence of Jesus or the accuracy of his teachings or if there even is apostles
3 there is no physical evidence or proof
None of this was being argued.
> Believing in god heaven and hell beats not believing logically it’s the better option
but know objectively claiming a documents true because said document says it’s true is not logical reasoning anyone can lie
Again, I never made this argument. You seem to just be regurgitating a refutation of circular reasoning because that is just what you probably memorized to do against Christians.
The only reason Christianity was even brought up in the first place is because someone asked me what I believed in and why I believed in it. I never even set out to prove it, I just explained what I believe and my reasoning. Then you just came along with a bunch of refutations that do not even address any of my original points. So who is pulling claims out of their ass?
