The Egg [KURZGESAGT - In a nutshell]

[krockerman]

this video is ofc just a story. But it made me think. How does reincarnation work? does it work in similar way like in the video? @Leo Gura should make a video on this

[Nahm]

@krockerman That’d be a great video!

[abrakamowse]

I am glad that I'm not the only one who was a little shocked that Kurzgesagt, of all channels, uploaded this video. Kurzgesagt seems to be aimed at materialist, left-brain thinkers. I've been subbed for years and when that video was first uploaded and I saw the title "The Egg," somehow I knew it was not about fertilization and eggs. In fact, the first thing that popped into my mind was the Andy Weir story. I guess that's proof I have an iota of intuition at least.

That's a really nice video really touching

 

One thing I'm wondering though, in that scenario what about animals/plants-life, is there reincarnation only on human forms ?

A key to a deeper understanding of the video: reincarnation is not shown as simply linear.

this story put a lot of deep teaching s for me into much fitting perspective. I got multiple head spinns from it each day :-)

Well from this video it is. Just not the lives are linear.

Hmmm. I thought about it a bit more. I think he deconstructs separate linear lives more fully than deconstructing a timeline.

I think the key deconstructions later in the video are:

4:00 - Partial deconstruction of a timeline

4:40 - Deconstruction of separate human beings begins

5:40 - Deeper deconstruction of separate humans. A partial construct of time remains.

I think it is a very well-done video. I would have further deconstructed the timeline. That is, You are everyone and all things Now. (including all that "has happened" or "will happen" - without a timeline). Yet this would collapse the concept of reincarnation, since there is no longer a "re".

There's something oddly fascinating about reading the comment section, where people are talking to each other as if they're the same person. It's almost how I imagine the cells in your body would be communicating, if they knew they were you.

We make one small part of the whole, and it just works.

I love the analogy that humans in society are like cells in a body.  

I like how you used this analogy. A couple more:

Each people are like neurotransmitters to each other. Similar to neurotransmitters in our brain. Some people are like dopamine, some like gaba, some like cortisol.

The earth is one giant organism. An alien viewing the earth from outer space wold see one giant organism. People are like cells communicating with each other within the giant organism. Narcissists are like cancer cells. Roads are like microtubules, energy plants are like mitochondria and on and on. . . One giant organism.

You can tell it was written by a human because not once are other life-forms mentioned in the story.
