I've spent my life being placid & easygoing.
I've been ripped-off by holiday firms & passed-over for promotion.
I've missed my turn in song-circles!

In my next life I'm gonna rant


Cheers
Nigel :)

Incarnate as a Chimp next time, Nigel. It'll be a step up the evolutionary ladder for ya, and you will be able to rant beyond yer wildest dreams! Nothin' on Earth can out-rant an excited Chimp.

I never could do the rant step. I know that Pete Coe says just tap out "Potato Crisps" with each foot in turn, but my feet don't seem to want to do that. Why?

So what happens when yer in the afterlife and you get in the reincarnation line and they won't let you go back because you you plan on ranting and carryin' on???

Think about it...

Rant now!!!

Whaddya mean "don't let you go back"? ;-D It doesn't work that way. You go back until you've overcome any need (or desire) to go back.

The tricky thing about reincarnation, as far as I understand it, is this: you don't necessarily come back as what you want...you come back is what you need! The Rolling Stones had it right on that. You need lessons that will enable you to learn something.

Watch the movie "Groundhog Day" for a spectacularly clever and amusing demonstration of how reincarnation works....only speeded up and compressed into a succession of single days rather than whole lifetimes! The weatherman guy ("Phil Connors") tried every greedy, dumb, selfish, and immature thing possible, he even tried destroying himself multiple times, until he finally got the message: To master life, you must learn to love, to give love without expectation of getting anything in return, and to give it freely and generously to everyone. If you manage to do that, you will have accomplished all that you really came here to do, and you'll be free...and very happy.

That was what Jesus taught too. And Buddha. And Lao-Tse. It's a universal teaching. Cynics laugh or sneer at such teachings...and they come back again and again, like Phil Connors, until they finally admit defeat and open their hearts to something greater than their own little personal god, their ego.

The above was not a rant. I'm quite calm. ;-D

I donno, LH... I mean, I mighta come back to finish some unfinished stuff but I don't recall the process... I'm kinda thinkin' that there has to be some "come-back-guidelines" like when folks like Jeffrey Dahmer says he wants another try they go, "Ahhhhhh, we don't think so"...

So, I say, live life as if when Dr. Dark plays yer entire life back on his projector just before you move on that yer happy with what you go accomplished and not counting on a 2nd pass...

Yer not supposed ta remember what went before, Bobertz, cos it would screw up the game if ya did. Think about it this way: each life is like a brand new chess challenge on a brand new board with new pieces and a new opponent, and you gotta start the game fresh. It ain't no good if someone tips you off ahead of time on how the game is set to go (in terms of how yer opponent, meanin' the conditions in yer new life, is gonna play it out). The game wouldn't play out fairly if you got tipped off to that. You gotta go in innocent, see? And then ya get to really play.

An idiot like Dahmer might get to come back and do somethin' totally opposite to what he did last time, so's he could learn somethin', see? He might even be the victim next time insteada the perp, see? Or he might be the victim's Mom or brother or somethin'. That would get the damn lesson across, wouldn't it? Or he might be a cop that helps catch the perp. Anything that works. Or it might be somethin' else entirely. Put it this way...if I meet Jeffrey Dahmer HERE and NOW in this life, I stop his clock, see? But once he has reincarnated, all bets are off, cos he ain't Jeffrey Dahmer no more. He has got a whole new chance to get it right this time, and how do you know he won't?

p.s. Got yer CD. It's real good. But I don't believe it's you. It sounds exactly like my old pal Blind Melon Jones that used ta play around Chicago till he got drunk and fell asleep on the railroad tracks one night, and the 11:00 freight come rumblin' through. They hadda bury the poor sucker in seven different pieces. What a mess! Anyway, it ain't you on that CD, it's him! I know my blues singers. If it ain't him, I'll eat my hat. You got a lotta nerve posin' as a 78 year old blind Black blues singer. Just what are you tryin' to pull off anyway? Huh?

Well, sheet fire, Chongz...

That's about the most lucid you've been in years... No, make that, forever... You been bongin', 'er what???

As fir Dahmer??? I think he's done... I got it on good sources that when he gets to the "reincarnation desk" that is gonna be like Charlie Manson getting to the parole desk... I don't see him comin' back even if it's to have "his body burned and collected his teeth" (Bottle Rockets "Don't Want to Walk Where He Walked")...

But glad you liked the CD...
