Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Samsara

[Sockrattes]

Have you seen/played the new Episode of Black Mirror on Netflix already?

If not, you should.

 

In my teenage years long before i started to have mystical experiences i imagined samsara, or the cycle of death and rebirth, as something that happens when we really die and are reborn. Like one live after another. I actually didn't believe that rebirth exist but conceptually this was my understanding of samsara.

But now i realise with many profound astral, lucid and psychedelic experiences that everything i have imagined was wrong. I know now that i'm living this life i'm living right now over and over again. For hundreds or even thousands of years. And the strange part about that is, that i (my body) wasn't born nor it died once. I'm transitioning from one life to another and then i forget about that i transitioned.

Samsara therefore is a trick of the ego (or something else). I'm realising that i'm trapped in this for a long time now.

Do you have similar insights? Can you relate to what i'm saying?
