Is it recessary to become entangled in speculation about literal post-mortem rebirth? Is it not enough to interpret rebirth as a series of different mental states we experience in the same lifetime?

What are your opinions on this?

namaste aloka ,

as you might gather from my picture used ,

I am somewhat partial to the wheel of life teachings (tibetan style)
it was one of the teachings that realy hit home !

I think , from experience , I would say that each teaching holds a different relavance for each person , and according to our states of mind , is understood at different levels .

I am not going to get into a reincarnation debate , but simply say that for me re birth exists on many levels symultaniously .

I am happy with the states of mind paralell , to be reborn into states of mind or being on a daily even hourly basis , but to me there must allso be an accumulative action of cause and efect .

but as with all teachings one uses what one finds benificial ,

one works first on one level , then progresses by encompassing other levels of realisation .
